Actually, Sprints SMS works rather well. Its push to talk and it rocks.

Where did you get your information?

LAS VEGAS - Sprint PCS launched a new service in the U.S. Monday that lets customers talk on their phones as if they were walkie-talkies, taking on established leader Nextel Communications Inc. in the market for "push to talk" services.

sorry I wasn't aware that they rolled out a new service a week ago... at any rate SMS is still crappy. The messaging server is down half the time, and the other half it takes 5 minutes for it to respond.

I came to P00P on this thread.

Sprint is the suck. I've been with them since 1998 and they show me no love. Now that I can take my number with me I will be switching once my latest contract expires in January. Problem is, I want T-Mobile but T-Mobile is not available in North Carolina (WTF?)

sprint is laying off another 2000 employees before Jan 1 to help save $1 billion per quarter

Are you in one of the 100 markets allowing the transfer of numbers?

Yep, Charlotte is one of those markets. Not only can we switch mobile-to-mobile, but we can also do mobile-to-home or home-to-mobile!

sprints text messagin sucks. You can't send a text message without going on the internet. I have a vision phone and used to pay $10 for unlimited vision thats surfing the net, text messaging etc. The problem with sprint is that u can't simply send a message to some one by simply typing and sending, for that you have get onto your mail account and then send messages to a number or a mail account. So any time you send a message you pay for vision useage thats pretty high incase you don't have unlimited vision. Well they increased their price to $15 for vision and hence I am getting rid of it because its no use. Now for those of you switching over to sprint.. I have it for the last year or so .. its been great in Texas but the problem starts when I go back to LA or am travelling. It has week signals in LA. It was great in San Fran. though.
