Re: Sprint at 12,000 feet
All one needs to do is look at Sprints national coverage map to see their actual "on network" coverage where, supposedly, you can call to anywhere for no further charge. It is very limited. While I'm sure they have some arraingements with other carriers, I'm sure you will find you are roaming on those carriers. I dumped sprint after they hit me with a bill for $200 for supposedly roaming in Las Vegas (where they are the local incumbent phone company).
I signed up with AT&T and have never looked back. My phone has allways worked wherever I went and, since I had a national plan, I never got soaked for roaming again. I haven't seen any difference since Cingular took them over except that my screen now says Cingular, instead of AT&T. I use a TDMA phone, which costs me $10 less a month for a national plan since I dont need all that gimmick crap and I'll stick with it untill I'm forced to "upgrade". |

Re: Comcast Wireless?
Oh how some are so misinformed....
Just analyze who are Sprints competitors - then look at who owns them - then you can see who is truly vying for a contract with the cable companies |

I was up at Mammoth mountain hiking at 12,000 ft. Worked fine. Never been to Kentucky your Sprint phone have you? |

Re: Comcast Wireless?
Actually I have a Sprint phone and I love it. Their plans are great and my service is just as good as any other wireless carrier I've used for all the places I go. I really like the cost of the Vision plan and the unlimited text as well. It's all priced very reasonably for both my husband and myself.
And guess what?  I like Comcast well enough too! Heh. |

Considering that Sprint has the most limited PCS network of them all, this is likely not all it's cracked up to be. It will be interesting to see what shakes out. |
