Ill probably stick around until at least june, but for real, WTF is up with Sprint's 3G speeds? It's horrible.
[EVO 4G General] AbsolutZeroGI:
They cancelled a line I never added, costing me $200. I live on a scholarship which I get a check for every 3 months. So I paid my phone bill 3 months ahead (November-February) and in December I have a mysterious line cancelled charge. They shut my service down on Christmas. Freaking Christmas. T-Mobile is run by a bunch of con artists and they teach their customer service reps to read only from the script.

Me:"Listen lady, I never had a second line, so how could I have a $200 cancellation fee?"

CS:"Oh, I sawry, if yuu refwill yaw fwex accunt, yuu cahn steel make phone calls for *mumbling I couldn't understand*"

Me:"No, no, no. You don't understand. I paid up 3 months in advance, I shouldn't have a phone bill, I shouldn't have to refill any ****ing flex account (I have really bad credity, thank you pre-scholarship student loans), I should have full service"

CS: *repeats what they just said*.

This went along for about 15 minutes and I finally just said the most hateful thing I could come up with. That she's a foreigner and therefore has no soul. She started crying, I paid up the ETF for my ONE line and came here. Who the hell goes into work on Christmas to turn off someone's account? Seriously?

I'm staying with Sprint. My previous experience with them didn't go so well but I'm adult enough to admit that was my fault. I shouldn't have tried to change my plan mid-month and allow them to pro-rate me for both. However, I know they aren't going to try to add a line that doesn't freaking exist.

I will be most likely switching to Verizon on Feb 10th to get the iPhone...as long as they still offer an unlimited data plan for it at a reasonable price.
[EVO 4G General] kamtsa:
We already do.
[EVO 4G General] datajosh:
I know, I always blamed it on my phone (BlackBerry Curve, Samsung Moment) until I got the EVO and now I realize it's just Sprint's service in my area.
[EVO 4G General] magicalsleeper:
Im just recently coming on to 3G so I don't really notice a speed difference (was on T-Mo with an iPhone before this). And to top it all off I live in Phoenix so I wont have to worry about 4G for the rest of my contract. Hahaha. Maybe Cricket is starting to sound like a good move after all.

[EVO 4G General] Biker1:
At the last minute, I ended up getting the Evo and signed on with Sprint for another 2 years. Soke with Sprint for over 2 hours regarding plan issues, and they were resolved.

Just rooted it with Revoked and using Android WiFi tether. Works really nice, and the Evo is a pretty nice device I must say :)
[EVO 4G General] brownhornet:
And even with all of these complaints about data Sprint refuses to acknowledge the fact that there is something wrong. If the addition of Evo's and Epics to Sprint network was enough to bog down the network like this then Sprint really better not even attempt to get the iphone.
[EVO 4G General] uniquenameevo:
Since it hasn't affected me I haven't been following the areas. Is there a chance it's areas without 4G? I know before it got lit up by me, 3G got TERRIBLE for a few weeks. When 4G popped early, I assume it was during upgrades that killed the 3G.
[EVO 4G General] tatnai:
I couldn't agree more, my sprint 3G coverage is embarrassing. Honestly, they should be calling it 2G. No 4G in my area, I'm hurting when I don't have wifi.

Sadly, I have SERO Premium plan for two lines, can't beat $40 per month with 500 minutes, any mobile anytime, unlimited data and sms. $10 crap charge on my evo, but sounds like that'll be spreading around to all smarphones on sprint soon enough. bottom line though, my monthly fees can't be beat, so looks like I'm staying with sprint.
[EVO 4G General] brownhornet:
Nope.. I live in Atlanta.. one of the first markets to get 4G.
[EVO 4G General] uniquenameevo:
So much for that explanation. Here outside Minneapolis I can crush the speed my friend gets on his incredible and also an iphone3g. Obviously this doesn't help you, but I feel for you.
[EVO 4G General] Asadullah:
I live in orlando it's known for t-mobile reps to add an additional line on your account give it to their friends. I had a situation where some dumbfuck added a line under my name didn't shut it off of course I didn't know about it till the bill showed up and went through hell to figure to get it settled.

l'm on metro now but was on sprint and it was good. I could use usb tether with my sprint hero and get hulu ......until they slapped me with the ole data cap. A combination of paying 160.00 a month for two lines for "unlimited" data and my sister shutting down her line sent me to metro till virgin mobile gets the optimus.
[EVO 4G General] okolowicz:
I've just recently started thinking about this and figure I'll probably end up with Verizon unless the iPhone somehow manages to make its way to Sprint.

I had each generation of iPhone until the EVO came out when I switched to Sprint. I love the big screen and won't go back to using a 3.5" screen under any circumstances. Nor will I go back to AT&T's crappy network.

Unfortunately, my wife loves her iPhone 4 and doesn't want to give that up. But, it would clearly be better for us to be on the same plan as we could save a few dollars. Therefore, Verizon likely makes the most sense. I could have a big screen Android, she can have her iPhone 4, we'll be on the same plan, AND it's not AT&T. Now that Verizon is rolling out its 4G network I find it difficult to believe there is going to be any must have phone on Sprint that Verizon will not have as well.

All of that said, I'm not making any changes until the summer anyway when the new iPhone 5 is announced. Not only does it not make sense for my wife to buy a Verizon iPhone just to replace it in a few months but, if the iPhone 5 is released with a greater than 4.25" retina display, I very likely will end up back an iPhone owner again.
[EVO 4G General] rockky:
Yeah, what kind of idiotic post is this.

Could care less if service or product is american or not... its about the service or product.

Anyway...I really do like my experience with Sprint service and value since coming from At&T/Nexus a year ago...but given the C R A P 4G and 3G network speeds, and the kickass phones in the wings at AT&T, I'd actually rather pay the difference and return at this point.... UNLESS... Sprint has some dealbreaker announcements up their sleeve... which I So hopefully they do.

[EVO 4G General] Kubernetes:
I would think that if you had to switch, you should switch to the carrier that gives you the best signal and speed where you use the phone the most. The most badass phone in the world with the cheapest unlimited plan is worthless if you can't get signal in your living room.
[EVO 4G General] swaze:
Exactly so TMO VRZ and ATT are out of the question as far as im concerned.
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
This is why there's tons of people in here complaining about signal. They pick a PROVIDER for the phone and not the service.

[EVO 4G General] creativemeat:
I'm sorry, you lost any credibility towards claiming to be an adult when you lost control of your emotions and verbally abused someone on the phone who was just doing their job.
[EVO 4G General] skillzo1:
Its not negative...its just flatlined...and yes according to my phone i was in 3g with service.
[EVO 4G General] starplaya93:

[EVO 4G General] TorxT3D:
if i had to drop sprint, i would probably just quit using a cellphone period.

tmobile's phones look like kids toys

verizon has a bad reputation in memphis, cusotmer service/reliability

att, well we all know how att is

if i had to i would go oldschool and get a jitterbug or some old nokia.
[EVO 4G General] david279:
Back in the day(3 years ago) a old trick was to port your number to boost and you wouldn't have to pay the eft. I did it then and it worked. I wonder if they closed that loophole.
[EVO 4G General] fixxxer2008:
well i was hoping some of these ridiculous changes sprint made could be a loophole, apparently it's not. so i think ill buy a couple cheap phones, port our numbers to them then cancel and make payments on the eft. that way my evo and her blackberry will have clean esn's and i can sell them. :D

seems shady but you gotta do what you gotta do.
[EVO 4G General] fixxxer2008:
sooo... you call the g2 & nexus s a kids toy? :rolleyes:

the bottom line is the evo is NOT the "end" all phone anymore.
[EVO 4G General] david279:
I got a g2. Its no kids toy.
[EVO 4G General] Pierceye:
We'll be sticking it out with Sprint. No 4G here yet, but 3G speeds are still acceptable. They also have outstanding coverage where we spend most of our time. And while customer service isn't perfect, it has definitely improved. As long as they keep their phones on par with the competition this is where we'll be.

[EVO 4G General] swaze:
This is just sheer stupidity. You say that after Vrz and ATT dropped their phone lineup for 2011 and before sprint dropped theirs. It might even be credible if you would say that AFTER sprint shows what they are planning. DUH!!!
[EVO 4G General] Zorachus:
Loving my rooted EVO with Myn's rom. I am waiting until Summer for a true next gen phone to come out. For me it is up between the EVO-2 or iPhone5, which ever comes first, but would go back to the iPhone, if the 5th one has a 4" or larger screen, adds widgets, and adds notification system...and still be a thin phone with long lasting battery, but I am not sure if Apple will make that many changes to it ?

I am hoping the EVO-2 really does come out in the Summer, and has some hefty changes to make it truly next gen.

Time will tell
[EVO 4G General] aimbdd:
Go over the roaming quota they will kick you out ;)
[EVO 4G General] dannyxda:
You will love your myns rls5 even more if you add launch plus pro to it.

Also sprint has 2 current loop holes to get out of contractt..

1. Increading the 411 fee by 20 cents

2. adding "smart phone" fee $10 monthly for any handset activated after jan 30

even if you alreayd had contract/line before that and you lost your phone.

this crap makes me want to leave..

i would go ot cricket but i hear even the "unlimited $55 android" plan has a 2.5 gb limit?

[EVO 4G General] Product F(RED):
That doesn't make sense. You just put in your SIM card. That's "activation" on GSM. The carrier has no part in you activating your phone. I was on T-Mobile and AT&T before I came to Sprint in August and I have about 20 GSM phones in my house.

The only new thing the iPhone 5 will have is a kickstand. But people will flock to get it.
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
So if im reading this correctly 3G Smartphones don't even have the option to go to a lower tier data plan "data package of $29.99 or higher required for 3g smartphones". Wow, ass rape. That is required for each and every single line on Verizon, meaning if your family plan on verizon is for example $79.99 for family of 3 lines, it's like $79.99 plus $29.99 x 3 making the plan really $169.96

This is a fake number I created but wow is that ass rape
[EVO 4G General] Cole28:
I'm paying $171 a month on sprint. One line never uses data, and thats with a 10% discount. Honestly I'm wasting money on Sprint since I never go over 2gb and use maybe 500 plan minutes a month.
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
Nothing cheaper out there. I heard MetroPCS is getting the Optimus you may want to check into that
[EVO 4G General] Cole28:
Wish I could but my area only has 3 carriers. Sprint, ATT, and the local telephone company who I would NEVER in my life go through. 3 phones through them is over $200 with horrible coverage and almost no features.... 0.o Right now sprint is the best bang for my buck just wish I wasn't wasting so many minutes a month and losing my upgrade.
[EVO 4G General] bigj225:
I think I would do T-mobile since they are closest to sprint and updated their network
[EVO 4G General] RainWind:
Well, at least verizon has decent speeds. 64 down 64 up on the sprint network, using a PRL that puts me on verizon's towers gives me around 1m/800. $10/mo for premium data, because my phone uses a lot of data (or whatever the excuse of the day is). yeah.. I could run this thing 24/7 and not use a lot of data.

So for me it's either Verizon or T-Mobile. Probably T-Mobile because they have better prices and I don't travel a lot.
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
I can't wait till all the carriers start putting up their 4G prices, then the bickering of this $10 charge can stop. I can't believe nobody has said anything about T-Mobile also charging $10 to their prices! Amazing both companies charge the $10 but only Sprint get's recognized for it
[EVO 4G General] lowspeed:
Unless Sprint quality really goes down hill I don't see me switching.

They have nice plans, good phones, and better than average customer service.
[EVO 4G General] Roy Jovero:
I don't see myself leaving Sprint anytime soon, especially since they've sent me a free Airave.
[EVO 4G General] aimbdd:
+1 free airrave here too. Good service at home and around. Cheaper then any other company (we use a lot of minutes)
[EVO 4G General] RainWind:
Because Sprint made a mess of the charge when it was announced, failed to tell a lot of people about it, and has the worst data speeds out of any of the major providers.

I wouldn't care about the $10 fee if I wasn't stuck with 64kb/s. But being told "you'll get 3G soon" and being charged $10 for "premium data" when I'm stuck at 1x is an insult. In the city I live in you get worse speeds than the highway a few miles out of town. A 15 mile stretch of highway has 3G speeds, but absolutely nothing in the city. The city itself is a data deadzone, but all the area around it has 3G... I mean come on...
[EVO 4G General] Product F(RED):
Well it depends on where you live. I live in NYC and Sprint is one of the fastest. Not one single company can please all of its customers because the geography is varied. I think they should just call the fee what it is, a "4G access fee". And they should say that 4G access fee is included in the rate increase (the $10) they now charge to 3G phone customers.
[EVO 4G General] cjh6386:
how have you guys received the free airave? Complaints about service at home? I can't get anything higher than -102db reception in my room... it's horrible. I almost always have to call people back on google voice through gmail if I'm in my room.
[EVO 4G General] Product F(RED):
I have. I called them up and straight up asked them for one. I told them I get no signal in my house from Sprint even though the other carriers come through fine. They sent one at no charge and don't charge any monthly fees on the account:
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
Not everybody qualifies for a free airave. Call and ask.
[EVO 4G General] DarkAudit:
Of the "big four", there's only Sprint and AT&T in Morgantown. US Cellular has a presence, and to a degree so does nTelos. Neither are worth speaking of really.

So when it comes down to it, I'm not going anywhere any time soon.
[EVO 4G General] brownhornet:
An Airrave pretty much means nothing to me. Dont you have to use your own home internet connection for that to even work? Im not paying them every month only to have to piggyback off of something else I already have a seperate bill for. My data was so slow yesterday I was annoyed to the point of damn near throwing the phone. Im waiting until Feb 7 but ive already checked my ETF and I wont have to pay much since my time will be up in June. This is just unacceptable for me being that I live so close to downtown. Now if I was out in the woods somewhere I wouldnt even complain but im less than 10 minutes from the heart of Atlanta with these putrid speeds.:mad::mad::mad:
[EVO 4G General] epphllps:
Going back to VZW with my 22% employee discount. Still won't touch what I pay with Sprint but service will be much better. The VZW manager assigned to our work account said this is the time to make a switch if I was going to so I'm not too sure how to read into that.
[EVO 4G General] rysbrnr:
Compared to Sprint there's a lot of other better traits in the competetor's services, but unless they can offer me more per dollar than Sprint, im not leaving. Even if the iPhone is on VZW, that alone is not enough to get me to switch. We have 5 lines on Sprint's family plan at a total cost of $250 a month....that's also with 3 of 5 lines using the EVO ($10/month 4g charge) with insurance on them ($7/month).

But if for some unforseen reason I had to leave sprint, if probably go with VSW.... Good coverage, decent selection of phones, good data speeds.
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
It's always the "right time to switch" when you speak with a competitor. What is VZN offering you that this is the right time to switch? Have you not read their recent changes? If anything this is NOT the time to switch to VZN or ATT
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
Complete and utterly agree.

I've never been a fan of At&t or Verizon but I can honestly say I don't think there's ever been a time as horrible as now to switch to them.

Moreover I can't imagine a competitor ever saying "this is not the time to switch"
[EVO 4G General] Product F(RED):
Whats the point of going with Verizon when you can roam on them for free? Just use Roam Control...
[EVO 4G General] brownhornet:
Yea thats all fine and dandy until Sprint cancels your service.. which they will eventually for roaming too much.
[EVO 4G General] Dan330:
but that would be a plus for those that need to roam so much... free out of contract.. no charge fees.

win win... :p
[EVO 4G General] Product F(RED):
Not really. I roam all the time in my house. there's a certain way they calculate it. Its something like if you use more than half your minutes roaming for two consecutive months. Besides, that's for minutes. You get 300 mb of data roaming, which is hard to use on 1x signal...besides, like I said I roam at home so that means wifi. And texts cost them nothing, so those are totally unlimited. Log into your sprint account and see your usage for yourself. It says your usage out of Unlimited.
[EVO 4G General] brownhornet:
There have already been several people on ppcgeeks and sprint users that confirmed that their service got cancelled for using that prl hack too much. Keep going over the 300 MB of roaming and youll find out for yourself.
[EVO 4G General] ihavapro7:
does it really get u out of contract for free ? because that would be nice ha ha like u said it would be a win win :D
[EVO 4G General] NYCguy2020:
would like to know this myslef.as you all know sprint's 3g data speeds are a joke...(im talking 200-300 kb/s tops) and i have been using the vrzn prl hack for about a month now.what could happen,and could that get me of contract for free??!

thnx.
[EVO 4G General] Product F(RED):
I just said I use it for voice and texting only since I have wifi in my house. I use Roam Control, not the PRL hack, so that I can just go back to "Automatic" when I leave my house. Of course they're going to shut off your service. You cost them a lot of money because you go over what Verizon agreed to allow each user. Same goes for Verizon users roaming on Sprint. But that's a good way to get out of your contract though since I don't think they charge you an ETF when that happens.
[EVO 4G General] NYCguy2020:
What happens when they cancel my contract.will they blacklist me??

If I were to leave, I'd go to T-Mobile as they have the best phones. (Highest amount of good Android phones plus the flagship Nexus S and Nexus One). Verizon is nice, but T-Mobile's phones are better. AT&T will be getting the best Android phone yet with the Atrix 4g, but again, the Nexus S will be more optimized, so the difference is moot.

Sprint will be getting dual core phones this week at CTIA, so i dunno why people are complaining about.
