Hi everyone, my Sprint wireless contract runs out in 8 days...if anyone could fill me in on which provider has the best service around the GFK area. Thanks!
 
I have Sprint here, very good reception. Verizon is great as well. Avoid T-Mobile and Cingular because I believe with those you have to roam on other cell phone networks in order for the service to work.

I think you're correct. I have Cingular, and that's probably the reason why my calls seem to be travelling to the moon and back. Calls take like 7 seconds to connect and start ringing on the other end. Looooong looooooong.

Oh yeah don't get the service that Angel has - whenever you call your number comes up as "0" on caller ID. For the longest time I never answered your calls because of that haha.

LOL yeah!
 
T-Mobile is actually pretty good around town/campus...except for inside the Wilkerson tunnels and the lower level of the union. Everywhere else it works fine.

The only time I have ever had it roam is inside Super Target. Even then, it is no big deal because it is free roaming.
 
i have tmobile as well but i am essentially always roaming (for free)

the downside to this is that i cannot use tmobile data services like picture messages (who cares) or web browsing (sometimes useful)

customer svc / payment with tmobile has always been easy and painless, and i speak to americans on the other end, not indians.
 
I use the nation wide verizon wireless plan, i can call home and get great service anywhere. plus the service in GF is good too. I never have issues with my phone.
 
Deal with my phone is that it has actually never showed up as "ROAMING" but for some reason, I still get bad service here...

mine doesnt say roaming either, but i know tmobile doesnt have native service here (as quickly demonstrated by my 300$ bill the first month i was here...roaming 24/7!!)
 
speaking of sprint, did anybody have any issues with their phones yesterday (sunday)? Usualy my coverage in my apartment is just fine, but yesterday i could only get usable coverage if I pretty much leaned out my window. Its back to normal though. Wonder if they had a tower go out or something.

I never had any issues with my Sprint phone yesterday. :confused:
 
I wanted t-mobile for it's GSM, I heard it sucked here so I went with Verizon, I had cellone and they stole my money, bills ranging from 200 to 300.
