Sprint

Pros: good phone
Cons: horrid service

I have lost all respect for this company. They will give you no information and try their best to take your money and succeed. I got a plan about five months ago , and i have been trying to get my bill cut back because the company didn't tell me I was...

Pros: cheap, clear, Internet integration
Cons: dropped calls, lousy customer service, tedious voicemail

I originally switched to Sprint PCS 6 months ago, after leaving behind my employer-subsidized Cellular One analog service. At first, I was very impressed - PCS definitely sounds much clearer than analog, and the Sprint PCS rates under this plan (1000...

Pros: Good to use when traveling. Sprint is continuously expanding their national network. Clear reception.
Cons: Bay Area coverage improving, but still needs work!

It's the old adage my good mother taught me: "You get what you pay for." And, begrudgingly, we all know, in the end, Mom is always right.

I had a hunch that Sprint's offering of 700 minutes with free long distance for $34.99 per...

Pros: cheap roaming, decent minutes rates, good phones
Cons: bad coverage in Bay Area, only 15 seconds of ringing

I bought the Timeport 8167 and Sprint 800 minutes+web because my PacBell phone was fading, the Motorola was smaller and had the wonderful vibrate-then-ring option. I was also suffering under the painful roaming charges when carrying the PacBell...

Pros: Great price, free long distance, free roaming, anytime minutes
Cons: SIMPLY BAD COVERAGE IN BAY AREA

...it's because by law, they do not have enough coverage to be able to establish such a contract. That in itself should tell you something.

First of all, the plan sounds like a dream come true. For $50 a month, you not only get 500 anytime...

Pros: Price, sound quality, dual-phone option
Cons: Dead spots, dead spots, dumb folks

People love bashing Sprint...and generally they are right BUT I've used all the services (yes, AT&T One Rate is best but it's not available locally and unless you think it's OK to have friends always make a long distance call to reach you, it's NOT...

Pros: none
Cons: extremely poor service, very limited coverage area, ridiculous rates

I chose Sprint for its accessibility and (I used to think) excellent coverage. I signed up during a special and was quoted 700 minutes per month for $69.99. Also, because I was about to move to a new state, the plan allowed me to change my area code as...

Pros: nationwide calling, no hassle, term-free plan, anytime minutes, voicemail, pager, first minute free
Cons: dropped calls, weak signals in 'dead zones'

First let me be straight. So you want a cell phone. Or you have one already and are looking to make a switch. The complicated part comes in making a decision on what plan to take...you have heard all the ads of clear conversations, secure lines, easy...

Pros: Great Service
Cons: Not able to roll minutes over

We have a sprint pcs dual band phone and had this service plan of 600 min. for 69.99 But we have since upgraded to 700 min. We have received excellent service. We have used our phone and plan from California to Florida. Its wonderful and has actually cut...

Pros: Cheap
Cons: Bad service

First of all, Sprint PCS Nation plans, they ALWAYS offer $0.10/minute for additional and long distance rate, which means, it has the best deals in the country, just like the AT&T One rate plan, but only cheaper. The cheapest One Rate plan for...

Pros: Flexible Plans, Price, Free Long Distance
Cons: Poor Customer Service, Poor Reception

Before I start talking about Sprint's Phone Service, let me tell you a little about their customer service:

I picked up Sprint PCS when they were offering 500 minutes for $50. I'm not sure if they still offer this package, but let me tell you...

Pros: straightforward pricing, clear sound
Cons: coverage, hold times for customer service

For me, the strongest advantage of Sprint PCS is that the calling plans are sensible and simple. No worries about off-peak/on-peak, and I just buy enough minutes (500 right now, was 700) that I don't exceed my monthly allotment.

The quality...

Pros: No contracts; first incoming minutes free, no roaming and long distance charges (most areas in US)
Cons: Buy a PCS phone

I have been stuck with many crappy cell phone plans, but this Sprint Free and Clear Plan is unique: the number one reason I veered toward this program is that there is no contract to sign. If you do not like the plan, then you may cancel. Sprint can not...

Pros: Inexpensive; clear; cheap long-distance; easy to travel with
Cons: AWFUL customer service; totally useless in rural areas

I have been using Spring PCS for about 2.5 years now (since the second day their service was available to the public) and have a lot of epinions about it. If you're looking for a quick summary, this entry probably will be less helpful for you.

...

Pros: Helped me out when I lost my phone
Cons: Customer service is usually not that great

I've read a lot of the other reviews about Sprint -- its poor coverage area, its horrific customer service, its tricky billing practices -- and I agree with some, if not all of those opinions. That said, I feel I should put in at least one good word...
