My experience is that they provide crummy customer service, they put up useless barriers to talking to a human, and their web page for billing, etc. is often busted. Oh, wait, I've just said that Sprint is a telecom company! They all suck. If I was going to get a new cell account, what I would do is find someone with an existing account on that service and (1) check to see how coverage is IN AREAS I TEND TO FREQUENT and (2) take the phone and check how coverage is IN MY HOUSE AND PLACE OF WORK. Until I moved, Sprint PCS had a coverage dead zone that covered my house. Very bad. Verizon, on the other hand, had excellent coverage there. Unfortunately, I hadn't thought to check with a phone set before getting the Sprint account. I lucked out, though, and got good coverage in my new house. Nationwide Sprint coverage seems very good. The only dead zone I've really found is spotty coverage in Uptown. Unfortunately, that's where I live! r _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
