Re: Sprint at 12,000 feet
said by raye  :I do not know where you get your info from. Sprint has a very diverse wireless network. I have never been in a place in the U.S. where I was unable to use my Sprint PCS phone. I was up at Mammoth mountain hiking at 12,000 ft. Worked fine. Never been to Kentucky your Sprint phone have you? |

| 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". |
