Sprint Mobile Phone Service in New York

Pros: Great Rates, Flexible Plans, Free Long Distance, Web Access to Account
Cons: Rarely: staticky calls.

March 11: My girlfriend's 23rd birthday.

Rewind a week; I ask her if she wants a soiree to celebrate her 23rd brithday, "Sure," she says, "but where?" (Her apartment is not too big.) So, I call Mikey W, who lives in the City (I...

Pros: Nothing other than a lot of minutes and free long distance.
Cons: Very poor customer service. I got taken for a ride. See review for details.

First off let me tell you that the PCS network itself functions rather well. I got decent reception in most parts of Brooklyn, Queens, and Manhattan, although there were dead-spots near the Brooklyn bridge in Brooklyn Heights and I did have to accept...

Pros: cheap plans, nationwide calling, no long distant charges
Cons: expensive phones, non existence customer service, non functioning website

i have read a lot of comments by others on epinions.com as well as other websites on wireless carriers' performance. i do not expect my wireless phone to replace my landline phone and i have very low expectations of the wireless telecom industry's...

Pros: solid coverage
Cons: none

I live in CT but do a lot of traveling to NY
ATT could not provide pager coverage where I live
Sprint PCS covers me all through CT and NY, NJ, MASS
the coverage I get is fantastic, hardly any dead zones, the Motorola Star Tac dual band...

Pros: Cheap prices, digital quality, roaming in cities, long distance
Cons: Dropped calls, system often overloaded

My previous opinion is below...feel free to take a look. But over the course of the last several months, my opinion has really changed about Sprint and I figured my opinion needed an updating...

Plain and simple - if you roam in different...

Pros: Lots of choices in plans, lots of minutes within each plan
Cons: Trouble connecting at certain times during the day

So you want to get a mobile phone? Number #1: you must select the provider that has the best coverage for the place you live. If you travel, you must look at those coverage areas, too.
I live in Stamford, CT, and I use Sprint PCS. Sprint PCS...

Pros: Good, reliable service. No dropped calls. Excellent reception. Cheap plans.
Cons: Customer Svc can be annoying. Long lines at Sprint Stores. Voicemail sometimes late.

I have had Sprint PCS service for 3.5 years now; 2 years of which I was in the NYC service area. I started with a Qualcomm 1900 phone, then moved on to a Samsung SCH-3500, and now I use a LG TP5250 3G phone. For the first year, service was dismal with...

Pros: Simple, inexpensive.
Cons: Limited service area, poor reception.

The Sprint PCS basic plan is simple, clear, and very useful as long as you remain within a major metropolitan area. The basic problem with the plan is the limitations on areas of service, and the quality of reception.

I've only had the phone...

Pros: The Best of them all.
Cons: Odd Phone choices

Sprint PCS is the best service available in New York. That's not to say that it is perfect, but it is certainly passable. You can get more minutes with Voicestream and ATT, but the quality is worse as are both technologies. The fact of the matter is that...

Pros: low rate, clear reception, more N/W minutes
Cons: spotty coverage for digital. Need 2 yr contract to get good deal.

I was with Sprint for 2 years and recently just signed another 2 years with them. They have a good plan and reception is getting better. I see no reason to switch to another carrier.
All my friends have pcs service with different providers. One...

Pros: sharing minutes, free long distance, clear reliable connections
Cons: a little lame on the customer service side

I chose this service after a grueling, mind-numbing comparison process that took way too long. In NYC, where nearly everybody has a cell phone attached to their head, it is an insanely competitive market. After it all, I chose Sprint for the following...

Pros: Terrific phones
Cons: service

Earlier this year, I tried Sprintpcs, I live in NYC so I thought big city should have great coverage, was I ever wrong.

First of all, it took sprint hours just to activate the phone, and then oddly when I turned the phone on, it would roam!...

Pros: Clear conversations
Cons: don't fully cover my area (CT)

I switched to Sprint PCS from Bell Atlantic for more minutes at a cheaper rate. Overall, I have only had 1 problem with my phone itself (which was replaced in just a few minutes at one of their stores after they noticed the problem - they even printed...

Pros: No busy signals, great sound
Cons: Bad customer service

I bought my phone for long distance calls between my school in Philadelphia and my home in NYC. In Philly, Sprint, which offered great deals, is usually unreliable. However, in NYC, I get remarkable service.

I cannot say too much about...

Pros: Low price, best phones and features, clear.
Cons: "Holes" in their service areas.

I've been using Sprint PCS for several years after switching from Bell Atlantic Mobile. In general, I'm much happier with Sprint.

Sprint offers very good prices and are cheaper than most other companies. They seem to always be ahead of the...
