Sprint PCS To Suffer Most From Verizon Wireless Number Portability Assault

Alamosa PCS and Ubiquitel PCS are two Sprint affiliates here in the West that are doing well and have good networks amd I think offer off-network roaming plans. I guess we're lucky out here to have some better affiliates.

 

Yes I've always heard pretty good things about Alamosa....Ubiquitel...has had some cash flow problems, but nothing a little "restructuring" didn't fix.

Airgate PCS is the affiliate in my area, they have a pretty good network...put poor management, that got them into a deal to buy ipcs, which went south as soon as it was purchased...That same year the CEO got a 1 million dollar bonus...six month later they cut their workforce in half.....

 

I like to change my number every 12 to 18 months. If I start getting sales calls from someone I may have given the number to for other purposes such as a credit application then it is time for a new number. Their may be some people that I don't want to have my number anymore so I like to keep changing my number and then give it out to only those I want to have it.

 

I think Sprint will do fine. They have a much better network than T-mobile (in many areas). I do think they need better plans. 40$ should get at least 500 minutes ala Cingular GSM, which in many areas may have better coverage than Sprint and cheap phones.
