| elmoebeesn's Full Review: Sprint Mobile Phone Service in St Louis |
This mobile phone calling plan will save you money in the long run if you are a frequent user like myself. The service gives you a standard 50 dollar monthly rate for anywhere you would like to call in the US, up to 500 minutes a month. Included in the total minutes are also calls that you may want to receive during the month. Overall, though, five hundred minutes is a lot of time to have for a month on a mobile phone, so unless you are a serious gossip or a stock broker(insert other phone using profession here) you most-likely won't use all of the allotted time per month.
The reasons that is a great calling plan are many. First of all, every city I have traveled through has access to the service. Never have I dialed a number to this date that has resulted in any sort of "out of area" message. Sprint, in fact, is building new towers every day to increase their already tremendous coverage. The company currently has the largest PCS nationwide network with service to over 4,000 cities and communities across the country. This number is certain to expand, and like I said it would be hard to find even the smallest town that is out of the coverage area.
Another great feature about this plan is that fact that the clarity of conversation is terrific. You can always hear every word that the person on the other end is saying. This is unlike many other mobile plans where the phone line often seems to be static filled. Furthermore, with this wonderful plan from Sprint, the user can expect very few dropped calls. I have found that my connections have been very secure even while roaming.
Finally, I have only noticed a few instances were roaming charges were incurred on my bill. I have seen this twice but it was only because I roamed quite a bit while on a particular call of great length. When I called customer service about this, they were very helpful and explanatory of exactly what had occurred.
All in all, I have no complaints about this quality and affordable service. If you would like to subscribe but feel that you will never use anywhere near the allotted 500 minutes a month, Sprint also offers a plan for $29.99 which entitles the user to 120 minutes of usage a month. Beware though, because if you would even use 200 minutes in a month and go over the preset limit, the 500 minute plan would be a better value.
