I've had sprint for a couple years now, and I've come to the conclusion its garbage. Over those two years, I've experienced MANY dropped calls, text messages not being sent nor received, and TERRIBLE coverage. All of my friends have either Cingular or Verizon, and in most places I'm on roam and can't do anything, they have excellent service, somewhere between 3-5 bars. I can't tell you how many times my phone calls with my girlfriend have been dropped causing fights because she thought i hung up on her. Extremely frustrating, as you may imagine. I hate Sprint with a passion. I absolutely DO NOT recommend sprint to anybody.
