I recently did a driving trip from FL, GA, TN, KY, IL, MO and had no issues with Sprint service or roaming. Was on the phone constantly and even streaming internet radio into the car stereo.

Sprint roaming works fine, but you have to have it turned on. Sounds to me like a typical Sprint basher.

And yes, Sprint has EVDO roaming with Alltel. Verizon has no domestic roaming agreements.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20338394 Tue, 15 Apr 2008 15:38:54 EDT Re: Must be a joke! http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20338390 thranx : PDA Net from June Fabrics works great.

That said, VZW is usually Sprint's roaming partner of last resort in places where Alltel, USCC, etc., don't come through. So I am surprised to hear that your Sprint Treo couldn't get a signal for you, even a VZW one.

On the other hand, VZW is much stingier with their roaming agreements, preferring to keep their subs on their network unless they have no coverage whatsoever.

Last spring I was in eastern NC where neither Sprint nor VZW had good native coverage. I was able to roam, even EVDO roam, on Alltel, and my wife's VZW work phone couldn't make a call.

I'm glad VZW works for you though.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20336478 Tue, 15 Apr 2008 09:13:09 EDT Re: Must be a joke! http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20336451 huntml : Sprint has an EVDO data-roaming agreement with Alltel.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20336451 Tue, 15 Apr 2008 09:04:54 EDT Re: Must be a joke! http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20335751 hottboiinnc : I talk more than text so not for me its not.

lol verizon is pathetic - I mean they provide excellent coverage but their handicapped phones and extremely high rates are a no go for me.
A Sprint phone is less useful than a brick. I travel extensively in Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio and Tennessee where Sprint provides nothing at all but roaming rates. Verizon is always there.

A $30 phone is useless if it only works on and around highways.
I beg to differ. I've been all over northern, and central Ky with not only Sprint service but data too. Sprint does have roaming agreements with Bluegrass wireless and Altel to name a few so if you don't get a sprint connection, chances are, you will get one of those. Last trip to Glasgow KY took me through Lexington, Bardstown and even visited Bowlingreen and took the family over to Mammoth cave NP. Lost service 200 feet into the cave. But I was roaming when in the park (digital that is). Sometimes your phone can hurt you too. I had 2 phones. Sanyo MM7500 and a Vi2300. Both worked. Now, if you think Verizon is everywhere.. I have perfect service in a place call Clair MI (boy scout camp). While verizon and T-mobile users are running around like chickens looking for service, I'm watching live radar feeds of approaching storms. And to end this little rant, father-in-law travels from Tampa FL to Detroit Mi 5 times a years (taking I-75, sometimes, a few back roads for the scenic value) and says he's never lost service on his LG Fusic phone (sprint). So guess you can say, everyone has a "different" experience. ;)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20335577 Tue, 15 Apr 2008 00:12:50 EDT Re: Must be a joke! http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20335550 tommy13v : I get Unlimited txt, internet, Picture mail, roaming and 1000 minutes a month for $36.

SERO 2500 is expensive compared to the Unlimited voice, data, text and walkie talkie for $99 per month

Why would anyone want 2500 minutes when you can get unlimited for the same price.
Because
1. They just recently came out with the "simply everything" plan.
2. They are notoriously slow to update the website.

Look for them to drop and/or modify the 2500 minute plan. I doubt anyone would go that route and if your getting your email address from an employee, they should tell you about the 99.99 unlimited plan vs the 2500 minute plan.

As far as Sprint and unlimited. It has been posted here dozens of times. Sprint doesn't cap you like VZW.. however, no matter how much verizon customers get beat down, they still hum along, paying out the a$$ with a mindset that they have the "best" deal. Guess that's the difference between have's (sprint) and have nots (verizon). :)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20335537 Tue, 15 Apr 2008 00:05:53 EDT Re: Must be a joke! http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20335536 tommy13v : I am seeing the same speeds as well.

Look at the coverage maps for both. I get emails on my Verizon BlackBerry in places that Sprint has never even heard of. The Sprint Treo that I had was useless. Like a brick in your back pocket useless. Calls and emails just didn't come through. It wasn't the Treo's fault either because nearly the same model worked very, very well on the Verizon network.

Drive around South Western Kentucky and South Eastern Indiana. Tell me that with a BlackBerry from each that the Sprint phone would work (phone AND email both) in half the places that the Verizon phone would.
