Pros: tons of minutes per month - long distance from anywhere in the country!
Cons: occasionally in roam

I decided many months ago that I needed a cell phone to meet my needs. I was driving back and forth to Michigan every other week and every time I hit a storm I would think "If only I had a cell phone!" Then I moved to Dallas to live with my parents and...

Well, my first...

Cons: Inflexible 18-month rule on new phone rebate (see review body for details)

When I first got an account with Sprint in 2002, I had horrible problems with their customer service. For example, when my phone was stolen, I spoke to several very rude CSRs who gave me disparate information about how to avoid paying for the services ...

Pros: Free caller ID, free call waiting, free call forwarding, good coverage in Columbus.
Cons: Only has service in most traveled areas.

Pros: Good commercials.
Cons: Bad service, drop calls, garble, not clear, false advertising.

I am waiting for my contract to expire with Sprint PCS, so I can switch service. Most of the times when using the Sprint PCS network, I get drop calls or I will hear an echo of my voice. On these occasions the phone is worthless. I have called...

Pros: good service
Cons: not good if you live in the "sticks"

I decided to go with Sprint PCS because of their free options! However, at the time I chose this this service and plan, they were having a special promotion. Instead of 1000 minute for $99.99, I got 1000 minutes for $75.00. I really chose this plan...

Pros: Cool Phones
Cons: Customer Service, Billing, Coverage

I have had my phone since September 2003 and the first two months were great. Then after my free trial of pcs vision expired. I canceled the vision option so i wouldn't get charged the $15 every month. I canceled that and was being charged for it another two months afterwards. Then on top of that I have never made any roaming calls on the phone and I've been charged roaming every month since November, and roaming is like a $1.00 every minute. My bill is supposed to be about $38.00 a month with taxes but it's been $50.00 to $150.00 since I've started my service. On top of that I can hear an echo of my voice all the time during calls and I get bad coverage in the city. I have also had quite a few dropped calls.

I have had phone service with T-Mobile and Verizon and have never had this bad of coverage or service. I'm thinking about going with Cingular because of the Rollover Minutes.
