Verizon vs. Sprint vs. T-Mobile
😕
I have decided to leave Verizon because they REFUSE to sell me an unlimited text package and the overages are KILLING me.
I am trying to decide if Sprint or T-Mobile will be better for me, and I'm really not sure.
I live in Phoenix, travel a lot, and I'm on my phone constantly. I will need e-mail, web browsing, and all of that stuff too.
Any feedback here or privately will be greatly appreciated.

Gotta love Sprint!
Unlimited text=$15/month.
The new Fair and Flexible plans include roaming OFF the Sprint network @ no charge, and nights start @7 included.
Vision (Web) is one of the best data networks in the industry, and Phoenix does have the EV-DO high speed network, so go w/ and EV-DO capable phone. Email is included in Vision packages, and starting @ $15/month, not a bad deal.
The Audiovox 6700 is a good PDA phone for what you need, but if you want to stick w/ just a phone, maybe the Samsung A920 or Sanyo 7500. All of these phones are EV-DO capable (for def. of EV-DO, look in the glossary)
Good luck!

Be prepared for dropped calls all over the place, junk cs, and indoor service blows chunks. I'm a new customer and already hate them. Think T-Mobile
...
Can you be more specific? For example, where are you dropping calls? And don't say "EVERYWHERE", because I know that's not true. Possibly have a bad phone? My indoor service is great by the way, and I carry a Sanyo phone. I have never dropped a call w/ Sprint service, been a customer for over 4 years now.
Customer service is not top of the industry, and occasionally you will get a bad rep., but it is improving.

So you're saying that Sprint service can not hold a call ANYWHERE in Santa Monica. I find that hard to beleive...
But, if that truly is the case, I would explore the idea of you having a defective phone. I'm sure Sprint has plenty of happy customers there.

The phone is a deffinate factor. I use Nextel and had some good ones, i90, i530 & i560, some ok ones i850 and a really bad one i730. The bad one would drop calls everywhere and got **** signal. I would have you phone replaced and see if that makes a difference
...
Santa Monica California? thats pretty much los Angeles for all intensive purposes isn't it? Looking at coverage maps, Sprint appears to covr LA well. and their coverage map isn't a load of crap like VZW....VZW includes their roaming partners towers in their coverage map, alot of them Sprint tower locations from what I've heard.
...
I agree Humdizzle, Sprint's Cust. Care dept. is getting better, ALOT better the past 3-4 months I might add. I too use a Sanyo and have never dropped a call on Sprints network or the few times I've roamed.
...
My sanyo 7300 is really reliable, i can only account a few times that i have dropped calls, but thats because i beat the **** out of my phone and it acts like it hates me! But besides the fact evertime I have called customer care at the store I work at they have never failed to fix a problem, MUCH improvement from last year
...
I would suggest to go with Sprint. Coverage is much better then that of t-mobile and you can get the 6700 smartdevice which can provide you with unlimited web access/email and you can have an unlimited text messaging plan to any service provider for 15 dollars a month. T-mobile's coverage area isn't as great as Sprint's and since you travel a lot you'll need dependability.
