Sprint is adding their equipment to nextel towers forget the exact number of towers somewhere around 13,000 i think....They also have more roaming agreements than any other carrierAs you know Sprint and Nextel merged.I switched from Cingular to Sprint and my gosh waht a difference i have coverage where there was none with Cingular and their in building coverage is good also.I use my cell as my main business line and i will say Sprint inmo is very reliable much more than Cingular.Also i don't know if you know this or not Sprint now offers nights starting at 6 for an additional charge.
