Sprint PCS is the best wireless carrier!.......2004-09-27

A year or so ago I switched from Sprint to T-Mobile, because I was offered a free phone and three months of free service. I ended up regretting that decision. T-Mobile's coverage is small compared to other companies. Their GSM network while having the advantage of being able to swap phones pretty easily due to their use of a SIM card, does not provide as good of call quality, privacy, signal strength, ect as Sprints CDMA. CDMA being the best wireless network technology, do a search on Google and read why. And soon the advantage of GSM's SIM card will not only be a GSM advantage. CDMA carriers are working on phasing in R-UIM cards. So CDMA user will also be able to swap out a card from one phone and put it into another.

Also, T-Mobile had a roaming partner in Cingular, but since Cingular is buying AT&T wireless, that contract has been canceled. So this just adds another fault to T-Mobiles service. While on the other hand, Sprint PCS has a roaming agreement with most of the wireless carriers, so their coverage spans almost the whole USA. Plus if you pay the extra $5.00 a month for Sprints Free & clean plan, you get to roam for free. Just has long as less then half of your minutes are roaming. No other wireless carrier gives you that. Except for T-Mobile, but as I mentioned their roaming partners list is becoming less and less. Plus Sprint PCS uses GPS to track 911 phone calls, which is something most of the other carriers are unable, or unwilling to do at this time. So that is a huge plus for anyone that travels a lot and does not always know where they are exactly (Which is me most of the time).

I recently paid the $200 dollar early termination fee so I can end my current T-Mobile contract, so I can get back with the wireless service that I had NO problems with, Sprint PCS. It is not worth any of the gifts and deals that T-Mobile offered me to stay with them. Sprint PCS is the wireless service that I will stay with for the rest of my life.

Lastly, before you lock into any wireless contract, research the companies first. Some wireless carriers might seem like they are offering you great deals, but their is always a catch. I only recommend Sprint PCS, because I have used other carriers and have found Sprint to be the best one for me. But just make sure you investigate the wireless companies first, so you don't end up paying the $200 early termination fee to end a contract. That $200 dollar fee is so wrong to charge. Why should people have to pay money to end a contract with a company whose service has gone down hill?!
For me, that $200 dollars could have been used to buy a new big screen TV or an XBOX!! I hate you T-Mobile!!

GREAT SERVICE.......2002-01-14

My experience with my VoiceStream prepaid service has been excellent.I have no surprises with this service as I did with a contract phone. I'm actually saving money. The customer service personnel are very helpful and courteous.I live in New Jersey and can call New York, Philadelphia,and parts of Maryland without any extra charges. Overall, VoiceStream is the best perpaid cellular service available. TWO THUMBS UP!!!!
