I have no idea what the people in Wyoming use for cell service..lol

I know it's not Sprint, Verizon or Cingular... Cheyanne, is the best you get out there for any of them... but then you are nearly to Nebraska by then.

Ever see 3 Ninjas where they run string with tin cans on the end to talk to their neighbor girl? That's Wyoming for ya.

And customer service is a sore spot with any service-related company. Sprint, Verizon, AT&T, Bank of America, American Express, Florida Power & Light Co, Comcast, DirecTV... I have a horror story with just about everybody.

I drove a truck for a living for the past few years myself, and I agree....for coverage, I've not found anyone that can beat Sprint. I loved the coverage, loved my 700wx, just couldn't stand cust support and four years of messed up bills. I finally caved and canceled it all. But if you're basing a switch on pure coverage, Sprint's the way to go.

My only problem with the customer service situation, is when there is a problem with the phone, where you need it replaced... I've had two first a Q... then the Treo... Both times of course I'm not even close to where I bought the phone. I had to run around Los Angeles looking for a Sprint store that had the service center in it... that had a Q to replace mine with... and again in Indianapolis with the Treo. I never know from week to week what part of the country I'm going to be in... They always say, well take it back to the store you got it... I have yet to have a messed up bill, but again I've only been with Sprint for a few months... You want to talk about screwed up bills...Give Verizon a shot! Tried them a few years ago for a month... first bill over 500.00, I called Cingular with my tail between my legs..." I'd like to come back now"... lol

Are there any Sprint users in the Philadelphia suburbs that can tell me about their experience with Sprint? I'm most interested in phone performance (dropped calls, clarity, etc.) than customer service info.

Thanks!

Sprint and Verizon are both good, Sprint is cheaper than verizon and i'm not too sure if they've still got it going on but theres this thing called the SERO plan, where you pay $30/month for unlimited data+500mins. PM me if you want more info on that SERO plan.

Anyhow, Sprint is pretty good. Not too many dropped calls good voice quality and all that. My only advice to you is STAY THE FU*K AWAY FROM CINGULAR/AT&T. THEY'RE GOOD FOR NOTHING BUT THE IPHONE, AND EVEN THE IPHONE SUCKS!
