    Interestingly, the fact that their is some debate as to whether Sprint and Nextel are considered one company or two underscores the problem Sprint's had trying to manage this merger. If none of us are in agreement, what does that say about their branding?

    For that matter, how does Telus Mobility and Mike manage this in Canada? They don't seem to have this issue with their CDMA and iDEN services? :confused:

    I believe there are seven in my area but I'm not 100% sure. I think they are: Sprint, Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, Tracfone, Virgin Mobile and STI-Mobile. :)

    Tracfone, Virgin Mobile & STi Mobile do not count, they are MVNOs,
    and they use another carrier's spectrum.

    Virgin Mobile & STi Mobile use Sprint's network,
    while Tracfone uses GSM or CDMA depending on the phone, or where you are in the country.
