Consumer Cellular with two iPhones, unlimited text, calls and 3G data for $52 (including tax) per month. My other devices run on AT&T Uverse Wifi at home and in the common area of the condo. Our condo association negotiated a deal worth $169 a month for $59. It includes high speed internet, three DVRs, and dedicated customer support with premium channel discounts. I'm happy.
When you've only been at the bottom, it's impossible to see what's at the top.Sprint and I am very happy with the service (I know most people are laughing)
Actually the speed is great service is awesome but to be fair I live it a great service area.
I've had it. It's horrible in 99% of places. They're being absorbed by T-Mobile anyway so it'll get better regardless.
Sprint is a big NOPE at work. It's a big NOPE out of the city. That means no Internet Radio during walks in the park (well over the county line) and no podcasts at work unless I remember to download them first.
However, in Owensboro, KY, Sprint until more recently have been 3G EVDO only. Sad their service is the same today as it was in 2008

On sprint. Tbh it’s the fastest of the networks besides Verizon from experience with all 4
Ummm I get coverage most places I’ve been and been with sprint for a while now.
I’m on sprint and very rarely am I kicked onto CDMA or lower... and this is including traveling to different cities in the east coast of the United States
The hate on sprint is retarded. I went from Verizon to Sprint and tbh sprint is about 98% as good as Verizon in coverage and speed. I use about 150-200gb a month and speed is fairly important for me
Doesn't matter if you get kicked on CDMA or not. The signal is still awful. It doesn't exist outside the city where I live. Go right over the county line in any direction and watch it go from 4G LTE four bars to Searching for Service in seconds. Will burn your battery real quick unless you toggle Airplane Mode.
Also, since CDMA EVDO and 1xRTT makes up 80% their infrastructure and they refuse to roam on Verizon or AT&T or T-Mobile you're either stuck with limited LTE reception or limited 3G/2G reception.

What about an ‘other’ option for those of us who aren’t in the states?
Currently with Virgin and can’t wait to switch to a less poor network.

It’s not ‘retarded’, it’s valid. And you must not travel very much to arrive at the conclusion that Sprint and Verizon are on par with each other. You’re probably the first on the planet to make that statement.
It’s not. And I’ve traveled all over the east coast with sprint and it’s fine. The people who talk crap about sprint are the ones who haven’t used them ... is it perfect no. But it’s good enough for about 98% of the time.
Lmao. I don’t get kicked onto 3G at all really outside the city or in it most of the time. LTE is good for the most part. It’s crazy how people who aren’t on sprint now speak crap but have no clue. Just want to join the hype train because it’s cool. I am on sprint currently and know my service is fine. I’ve been on all 4 major carriers and sprint is the second best after Verizon. AT&T is just slow and t-mobile still lacks coverage and speed is meh.
Yeah they’re quite good ...

We’ve been on Sprint and it’s terrible. Nobody cares about your uncommon Sprint experience.
Verizon from 2007-2018 then i jumped to Google FI. Haven’t looked back, i dont miss being bent over every month with their bills and fees. I travel a lot and its nice just to get off a plane in some other country and just use my phone like normal without having to switch sims or paying international rates. I also love that they dont charge for data only SIMS
The other one I learned today about Sprint which I need to verify more is does Sprint seriously still not support VoLTE on iPhones?? My coworker was saying how he couldn't even do data and voice when he was calling his insurance and had to e-sign things.
