Voice is great, but I never use iPhone as one. http://t.co/gNbhUPVl

Sprint has always been the best in our views as when disasters like hurricanes or bad weather, my friends att and verizon cell phones loose signal or rarely have any while my sprint phone has full bars everywhere. I’m not insulting other carriers, but Sprint has always kept its word, except for the 5GB limit on 4G mobile hotspots that I was never able to get as I live in the rural area, but everything else is true, get em Sprint!!!!!

I have had Sprint in the Chicagoland area and the 4g is so unstable that it is not worth even activating to date. The rare times I can get a stable 4g signal it is routinely slower that my friends 3g signal on t-mobile.

I rarely get dropped calls and when I do it is usually from people using ATT and occasionally VZ.

In case you didn’t know, Sprint has twice the 3G coverage of ATT and 14 times that of T Mobile.

Sprint’s network vision plan will help but they need to deploy EVDO Rev. B upgrades for the long term, to maintain the quality of the network. Their 4G plans are excellent but they can’t afford ignore the deteriorating 3G network.

I went to the HTC Evo and the speeds are amazing. I work in a tech group and we tested the best phones from each carrier. Not only is the Sprint 3G the Fastest, the 4G blows everything else out of the water. If / when Sprint gets the iphone, it will be the fastest on the market. Plus, with the new network Sprints building, they will have the best coverage and continue to have the fastest data speeds. After testing everything on all carriers, Sprint is the best carrier on the market.

Sprint has had nothing but issues handling Android data. When the EVO 4G launched the 4G network was almost non-existent, and most users relied on 3G. My data speed on a DIFFERENT phone (Samsung Instinct) went from 2.1mbps down to 600kbps, by the time I bought the EVO thinking Id get a speed boost, I found my data AVERAGE 100-300kbps. I reported this many times to Sprint, as did other people I know who use Android phones. Sprint has refused to address the issue, and pretends there isnt one. In fact, Sprint 3G network is in worse shape than AT&T was when they first got the iPhone. Id not be surprised if Sprint kills off Unlimited Data for all users iPhone or Android or otherwise claiming the economic need for their network. Truth of the matter is, Sprint can offer Unlimited Data all they want, and it wont cost them much since their network cant deliver a speed that is reflective of anything.
