Well it's done! Dumped Cingular, now with Sprint

This will happen if you havent properly set up a "Vision" password. The password to manage your account (at log on) is <u>NOT</u> going to work in a Vision area. It isnt set up to do so.

 

Congrats...It wont be too long before you make a future post that states "Well It's Done! Dumped Sprint, now with Verizon"

I'll never understand why people get all "ra ra" about one carrier versus another. It seems a bit zero-sum to me. More than one carrier can be good at a time, dontcha think. In my personal experience, I can say that T-Mobile and Sprint have both been good to me. ATT has been pretty mediocre. Adding friends' experiences, I've also heard middling to bad things about Cingular and Verizon. In a nutshell.

Welcome to Sprint. I think you're in for some great reception.

 

im glad to hear a happy sprint customer. with your vision device you should check out some of the free vision sites that offer free ringers and stuff

Yes, Kurtster I was tongue in cheek...and thanks for understanding

Actually, all providers have some flaw(s) whether it's in coverage, equipment, customer care, calling plans. Everyone likely has some past experience that guides their choice of plan. Those that don't do research. My bottom line is based primarily upon presonal experience. In the past, I've used Cellular One, Sprint, ATT, Verizon. Blend past experience with comments from this and other forums I made a decison to go with Verizon. What works for me may not work for someone else.

No right answer in this wacky subject!!!

 

pretty soon I expect to see a thread that states, 'Miss Cingular- wish I could go back'... All the cingular thrashing in the Ca area seems really overdrawn. Sprint couldnt even, until recently, be used in my part of califonia. And even now, the coverage is lacking. I've been up and down different parts of california and experience no problems..... Also, is it funny that in the west forums there are alot of T Mobile customers that USE Cingular's gsm services.. that should tell people something....

 

Laughin' mah azz off!

 

I guess it's hard to just accept that this guy switched to a company and is satisfied with them and you have to sit here and talk **** about it.

 

Testy, testy

I don't know who your pointing a finger at, but the posts on this thread seem to be reasonably light-hearted and not malicious. I think everybody understands there is no "right" answer to service selection. If it works then go with it. As I said in a previous post, what works for one person may not be the right choice for another.

No right answer in this wacky subject!!!

 

Well for me and my household at one time or another, we had Cingular, AT&T, Sprint and Nextel.
That said, all have been both very good, or very bad, sometimes... at the same time! The question is, are we as consumers going to tolerate a companies shortcomings? What do we choose accept? Zero tolerance could mean no provider is worth a dime. But we make allowances.

I suggest we don't waste too much time hating or loving a cell phone company. They all do what they do. We consume, and if we don't like the service, move on. Or not.

 

Welcome to absolute doom. Sprint PCS is awful in every possible way. Welcome to my world.

 

In <u>MY</u> world, Sprint PCS has been wonderful.......(borrowing from PaulG)... Everyone likely has some past experience that guides their choice of plan.

 

My experience was mixed. I had Sprint PCS for two years. Adequate coverage, good voice quality, but the customer service people were horrible to deal with. Half the time, they don't write things down, so you are left pursuing a problem over and over again.

When I complained about dead spots, they just didn't care.

I dumped them for Verizon in late October and I'm glad. Sprint didn't deserve my business. With Verizon, on the rare occasions I've called about dead spots, they logged the report, and I gather they actually sent out service people to check out the problem and try to make things better.

Nobody is perfect, but Verizon, so far, deserves the money I pay them.

Sprint--forget about it!

 

No carrier whether it be Sprint or Verizon will be able or willing to fix a dead spot just for one complaint. Even if they do plan on improving an area (after receiving a number of complaints) it could easily take up to 2 years for all of the necessary approvals and land deals to come through.
