Would you switch from Verizon to Sprint if Sprint only cost you $22 a month?

[LordJezo]

I can get a special deal with Spring where it would only cost me $22 a month to get the equilvent of what I have now with Verizon (300 anytime, free nights and weekends...) $40 a month average now a month with verizon (w/ net access)

Would you do it?

If it was that much cheaper, I would switch.

That is assuming you have equal coverage in your area.

 

[chin311]

yes, as long as the coverage is good.

what about phones?

 

[LordJezo]

Coverage is not as good as Verizon, but, nothing really is.

Phones are not really a concern to me. I just want to talk.

I had Sprint for 3 years and dealt with not being able to use my phone when it was most needed and dropped calls with full signal strength. I just switched to Verizon and don't have any of these problems anymore. Having a system that is actually useable is worth the difference to me.

Sprint works excellent for me. Also, where did you find this $22 a month deal?

No.

Yesterday is a prime example. Verizon is the only cell phone service that I'm aware of (tho' I guess Nextel prob. was working as well), that was working during the blackout. Granted, I was ok, with regard to my situation, but my friend, who has T-Mobile, couldn't get in contact with anyone to pick him up, cuz his phone wasn't working, so he was in NYC til like 9:30 PM.

Tho', Verizon really is only more useful if you travel a decent amt., to maximize the fact that it's the best service in the US.

How did you get $22? and how much with all the taxes added on?

 

[SP33Demon]

NO. Sprint = teh suck.

 

[LordJezo]

It's a Lucent employee/retiree thing.

 

[NutBucket]

Sprint works great in SoCal so it would be a no brainer for me. But I already have Sprint. Can I still get the discount?
