Reminder: Verizon unlimited data plans go 'poof' tomorrow

Just go with Sprint, why ppl so dumb to pay for these stupid plans?

Because sprint does not work...not at home, not in the city, not at the airport, not on the interstate. The only reason I can think of for someone to buy a sprint phone is if they don't want to receive calls, and they don't want to know about missed calls or voice mails until at least 4 hours later. That just leaves AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon...and T-Mobile is about to be part of AT&T. Given the terrible choice between AT&T and Verizon, Verizon comes out on top...or at least it did before these restrictions.

I have sprint and it works for me. Last time I checked, it roams on Verizon, I think. And I never have to roam anyways, I have 4-5 bars of coverage everywhere I go. But I guess your mileage may vary.

I have T-Mobile 500 mins, unlimited data/texts (data throttled after 5GB). They added Free Wi-Fi Calling and that makes up for the low minutes allowance. $59.99.

HSPA+ Data is pretty fast in my area, actually faster than Wi-Max on my roommate's Evo 4G.

As for voice calling, all of the 4 carriers have solid service in my area but I refuse to go back to AT&T or switch to Verizon due to their ridiculous pricing. That leaves Sprint but their network is CDMA so I went to T-Mobile.

My dad is grandfathered in (with Verizon) for his 3G level of service but if he ever upgrades to 4G service then he loses that grandfathered status forever. Thats what Verizon told him yesterday.

I have had sprint since 1998 and its always been good but its better then ever to me.I drive truck across the country and have had almost no dead spots or bad areas.I have been happy with them and we even use the unlimited data plan.One of our daughters lives off her Virgin mobile phone and says it works great in her travels.
