Again, that would be Verizon and AT&T.

Again, That is just your opinion. I know many people that love Verizon including me. Their network does have better coverage than Sprint and T-Mobile.

Who are the two wireless providers with the worst caps? AT&T and Verizon. Who are the providers that have data plans that allow customers to take the best advantage of them? Sprint & T-Mobile. I'll keep my uniliated data that has coverage virtually everywhere I go.

T- Mobile slows you down to 2G speeds after you use 2 gigs of data. It's not unlimited.

And you are probably the only person here than can afford to spend 200 dollars every year replace a still very good phone every year just because something comes out that has slightly better specs. It's not practical to replace your phone every year because you need the money for other things. Carriers usually let you upgrade every two years anyway.

He will spend more than 200 on phones in the middle of contacts.

He is the ideal customer for his cherished brands, and as W.C Fields used to say...

With Sprint you can upgrade at new subscriber prices after 1 year if you’re in their Premier program. And plus you can do trade ins. I traded in my original Evo and got $150 knocked off the price. Also traded in my old iPhone 3G and got an additional $90 off.

And how much does that Premier program cost?

Steve, do you mind if I ask your age? I do not mean the question in an insulting manner, I am curious of those that buy that often how old they are. Anyone else that does or doesnt do the same feel free to answer as well.

Call it satguys research.

Do you understand the concept that Sprint lets you upgrade after a year?

They may have great plans, I never said anything to dispute that. I said they had the crappiest networks among the big four. And they do. They dont offer coverage everywhere the others do.

It doesn't cost anything extra. It is all based on your monthly payment to Sprint from what I remember.

Ahh, so pay more per month and you can upgrade sooner? If so, what are the actual savings with all added in versus a normal customer just buying out the contract? Id wager it isnt much difference

Sprint | Premier

They changed it this year, it used to be any Premier subscriber could get 1 year upgrades, now it’s Gold Tier customer only. Next year will be 10 years since I signed up with Nextel. Sprint counts that as my official start date with them, even though it was premerger. As of next year I'll be in the Gold level of service regardless of whatever else I have, which means new yearly upgrades as long as they have this program in place.

I tried to use Sprint last year due to their plans. I loved the phone and plan but their data speeds in my area sucked. I would only ever get a max of 300K on 3G speeds and this was with paying the $10 4G up charge for having the EVO.

I do not think Sprint does that, nor does my regional. Unlimited for me is true unlimited.

I may be wrong on sprint.

Why don't you follow your own advice and don't speak for others, k? I have much much better coverage with Sprint then I did with AT&T. And much faster data speeds.

When I had them it wasn't hard to be on premier as I had 5 phones on my account. That easily made me qualify for the program. Only the primary line qualifies for the 1 year upgrade.

You are correct with Sprint. As I was talking about T- Mobile. Unlimited for me with Verizon is true unlimited as well.

If you have a higher end plan anyway, what difference does it make? I have a higher plan because that’s what I need for my mobile usage, I don't have it just so I can upgrade every year.

Well Steve pays Sprint 275 a month. Which I think is way to much for wireless service. I pay Verizon 150 a month for 2 smartphones.

Im not speaking for others. Im stating fact.
Verizon and ATT have broader coverage than sprint and Tmobile. There may be areas where print picks up and one of the others dont, but the reverse is true in far more areas.
