Moving on to Sprint...

[chokaay]

I normally don't like to read/write these kinds of threads in forums, but since I have friends at T-Mobile Signal, I'll write it anyway...


As of August 2nd, I'm going over to Sprint too.

The major reason is that after the past few years, I finally got fed up with the GSM networks in my area dropping random words or syllables, and/or static interfering with random words or syllables. Therefore, the person on the other end of the phone would either have to guess what I'm saying, or ask me to repeat myself (gradually got worse as time went on). Another major reason is that when I keep my phone in my pocket, I found a good portion of calls go straight to voicemail (like as if your phone was turned off). Based on my friend's service, AT&T has the same problem with static and dropping random words or syllables ("GSM-spank" he calls it), however AT&T doesn't have the straight-to-voicemail problem that T-Mobile does. (These results have been confirmed with multiple T-Mobile users in my area as well.)

I've been trying out Sprint's service in my area since 7/12, and it has neither of the major problems I've been experiencing for the past few years with T-Mobile. (Verizon doesn't have these problems either.) Coverage is also a bit better than T-Mobile in my area (especially with Verizon roaming, since T-Mobile can't roam on AT&T here). I also get more for the money with Sprint SERO than I do with my current T-Mobile plan (will cost approximately $10/mo more than I pay now for 4 people, but with a lot more features and perks... including 3G).

Therefore, as much as it pains me to leave (and I dread the thought of monthly billing errors and the potential time I might have to spend on the phone each month getting it corrected), I felt it was time for something new (and something that doesn't go straight to voicemail or drop words/syllables) and decided it was a good time for me to get Sprint before SERO ended... wish me luck!

...But I'll still drop by as much as I can, since I still have a couple T-Mobile To Go accounts!

Hey we're Sprint friendly around here, you don't have to go anywhere. Sorry to hear you've decided to switch, but glad you found something that is going to work for ya.
