Hi all, I'm trying to decide on a wireless carrier and phone to be used primarily in the Orlando area, but also with coverage for all of Florida, West Georgia and East Alabama. I would like GSM (to work on programming for WAP/WML applications), but it seems like it just isn't here yet from a coverage standpoint. I also have corporate discounts from AT&T (15%) and SprintPCS (25%), but I'm more concerned with good coverage/calling plan than using one of those carriers. As I make about $40 worth of land-line long distance calls per month, I would like to use the wireless for that instead. My experience with wireless service is limited to Nextel, which I had for work about 4 years ago. I really liked the two-way functionality, but at the time there were a lot of "dead" areas. That probably has changed. Any input is greatly appreciated! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img] CD |

Sprint PCS recently just introduced some new rate plans that are quite attractive. That in addition to your 25% discount avaible from Sprint PCS and the fact that I have heard Sprint has good coverage in Florida you seriously might want to give them a try. Sprint PCS |

I have heard nothing but good things about Sprint PCS in the Orlando area, and their coverage maps back it up as well. In south florida, things aren't so great, but I have friends in the orlando area and that area is a popular place for Sprint PCS. Alabama area i can't really comment too much, but if you're going to the alabama area than give sprint a shot throughout the 2 week trial period because right now they have some of the better plans available for the holiday season and some decent phones for 50-100 bucks after rebate![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
