This email is to clear up some confusion. (1) Sprint and Verizon Wireless both share a common roaming agreement. (2) During network test drives held by a third party analyst, Sprint ranked #1 with data speeds. They were a tiny bit faster than VZW and much faster than AT&T Mobility. (3) Sprint has turned a profit for the past 4 quarters and is in no financial danger of Chapter 11. (4) Sprint is finally recovering from the Sprint/Nextel merger that (to some) was a mistake. Sprint overall used to be a great company and is slowly getting back up on their feet. Keep in mind people, this is an American Telecom company. Verizon Wireless is partially owned by Vodafone and T-Mobile is partially owned by T-Mobile. Myself, personally would like to see Sprint work on their image. The fact of the matter is Sprint is a nationwide company and in my eyes, a fully American owned company. They made large mistakes in the past and have paid the price. They are finally going in the right direction and during these hard economic times need to support our American industry leaders.

You shut your mouth you lil queer. Don’t tell me what to do. I do what I want to. I don’t care how I look or whatever. I’m out to prove the truth. Don’t like it? Don’t read it.

I still dont understand why people insist Sprint will be bought. FCC will laugh at the Idea that there would be one Dominant CDMA carrier considering Verizon Already has Alltel.

Keep in Mind, T-Mobile still has a ways to go in order to get that 3rd Spot from Sprint. Dont hear anyone sayin T-Mobile will Fail. You think FCC would Let AT&T buy the only other relevant GSM provider??

Dont think so.

It’s amazing to me how many crybabies are getting offended at me for calling people out on their bullshit but they are doing the same thing. But when I defend Sprint, I’m the bad guy and i’m wrong. I’m the bully. This other dumbass, sprunt, things he is a psycholgiest or something thinks he has me figured out. Their is nothing to figure out. That is what this is for. It’s a forum. It’s for discussion and debate. If you don’t like what i’m saying, tough shit. I’m not no fuckin bully like everyone says I am, i’m just telling the truth. I just happen to be coming back to correct the lies. I have the time so I think I will. As for the iPhone peeps, please. Those gay phones can’t even multitask. Why would you even want a phone that can’t do 2 things at once? The Palm Pre is way better. Give it some time and it will have the apps too. Anyone else? I’ll be here. Just call me out. Haha.

understand this… when you are going to post a rant about one of the telco companies… you are feeding time and effort in to nothingness. you are a slave to what they want you to do. save you energy for getting a life and enjoying the world around you. get off you’re parents plan and move out and see the big picture. get laid also that helps. stop trolling and trying to post for shock value. it’s like fighting over who’s fart smell worst. it’s still a fart.

That’s exactly what i just said…and the “super fast” 3G that sprint has is the same technology as VZW. And i do also dislike At&t idiots. Damn iPhone pricks

All companies pay for rights to borrow towers. But Sprint does NOT rely on Verizon for their extremely fast 3G because Verizon don’t even work anywhere around here and Sprint is super fast. My swearing is just a sign of how tired I am of AT&T queers running their mouth about shit they don’t know. It has nothing to do with me being mature. It shows that i’m tired of dumbasses talking when they don’t know anything but what the stupid commercials tell them.

By: Furious

Furious — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 02:59:17 +0000

ps. i dont have at&t and yes they do “borrow off verizon. EVDO tower capabilities arent shared thus where sprint on occasion can do better. and no need to swear left and right, just shows your immaturity. i dont want sprint crushed just interesting where they think they can succeed

Wow so personal… All I can say is that in the 9 years I’ve been on Sprint I have consistently had better service than other people I travel with. I work all over the US & Mexico. I also find it ignorant to not concede to the fact that Sprint (including Boost & Nextel) currently have some of the cheapest plans for people who are data heavy users.

By: What???

What??? — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 02:05:16 +0000

No one knows the fate of any company. No one has the foresight to know who is going out of business or staying. Why would anyone want a wireless carrier gone. Competition is a good thing. Less choices for people is not good. A Monopoly is not good for anyone.

First off, Sprint’s 4G network has just started and they will continue to expand it. It don’t happen over night. At least they have it asshole. Next, it’s funny how you say they use Verizon’s towers cause Verizon don’t even work where I live and barely works in the town I work in…but somehow you say they leech off their towers? I think you have been misinformed son. I don’t think so. I don’t know where you think you are getting your facts but you are mistaken and you can take them and shove em hard. They don’t use Verizons towers and their 3G is still extremely fast. So thats just bullshit. No, I don’t work for Sprint, I just love their service. Thats the truth. I’m tired of you AT&T fags dogging Sprint when you can go under a tree and lose service. You guys need to shut your fuckin mouth if you don’t know the real facts. I work with co-workers that have AT&T and they are always dropping calls when they are traveling through the country and go into buildings. I could understand if they went deep into a building, thats understandable…but they can barely go inside one and lose service. While I have a full signal and EVDO. Anyone else want some? Come get it.

Thank VZ for your decent “Sprint” service! Amazing how much more you Sprint fans (employees) know than Wall Street! Good luck on actually being called “Sprint” within the next 12 months after they tank and have to be bought!

except the fact they don’t use their 4g and it will be outdated in less than a year, in which time they still won’t have coverage with their 4g. not to mention no 4g phones and yes i’ve used sprint, they leach off of vzw towers and still drop calls and their data network DOES suck. some areas are better then others i admit, just like any carrier, some spots are just sweet. but with everything in a “whole” perspective, sprint can take a hike. oh, and by the way, their plans arent cheaper on a broad spectrum, just one or two spots which other carriers compete in other areas sprint cant match.

@gustavo lol true to that inside my house my relatives that have att barely have 1 bar and when they call you can’t hear shit nothing but static. they have to go outside the house to make a good crystal clear call. With cdma with one bar you can make a crystal clear call not with GSM

I work in Houston Galleria area and have Sprint on my personal BB. If I go in the elevator up to the 7th floor and come out, it stays on roaming for 2 hours which sucks if you need to use Data. At points, the call quality is crystal clear but at other times, it’s impossible to find a signal especially inside malls or department stores.

By: Gustavo

Gustavo — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 20:25:45 +0000

Haha…man. This is so crazy. You know, I really can’t see how anyone could bash Sprint. If you really actually know the stats and how good Sprint is, their is no comparison. Verizon is the best all around company. But their plans are outrageously high. AT&T just sucks and they are still high. Sprint is just the best. I don’t know how else to put it. The GSM network sucks and if a tree gets in your way, bye bye 3G for AT&T. The truth hurts.

By: Gustavo

Gustavo — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 20:22:05 +0000

The only thing I could ever say about Sprint that wasn’t the best, was their customer service. That has already changed though. They fixed that and now they are on the rise again. Thats why they are forking out the big bucks to get badass phones like this Tour and the new Palm Pre.

Who’s the idiot? Sprint had the first 3G, ass.

OK OK, I agree. Verizon had the first “3H” network, you happy??? LMAO

By: Gustavo

Gustavo — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 20:18:16 +0000

Yeah. I live on Mars mother fucker. And my Sprint service still works up here cause it’s badass like that!! First 4G network…come get some baby!

Just poster to Facebook…

Sprint Ready to stay connected on America’s most dependable 3G network and when you travel the world? Starting July 12 you can get the new Blackberry® TourTM 9630 smartphone with Sprint for $199.99 after a $100 mail-in rebate. It’s powerful and super fast. Plus it provides easy access to Facebook and other social networking sites.

I hate rebates!

3H?

Anyway, People can bash Sprint All they want to, Sprint isnt going anywhere. No way they will allow there to ever be one Dominant CDMA carrier. Guess some are pissed off that Sprint is Keeping pace and Not crippling their phones at the same time.

If you live in the D.C/Baltiore area Sprint Service is excellent. Alot of people agree to that. I wonder what the Haters will say when Sprint Has the Hero this Year and Verizon is still Twiddling their Thumbs. Give up on the LTE vs. WiMax debate. Wimax is Here Now and people are takin advantage of it.

Gustavo — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 20:14:30 +0000

You must be one of the iFag freaks huh? Why don’t you get a real phone instead of one that limp wristed mother fuckers have to barely touch on. BB’s are the best. Thats why they sell more than any other smartphone in the US. End of conversation.
