Which phone with sprint besides the sanyo4900 gets the best signal of them all the 4900 was by far the best which one is now???

I was wondering if anyone knew what the coverage was like in Arlington, TX because i was in a building @ UTA and my cingular phone did not get any service... how is sprint?

I just discovered that Sprint considers my $450+ Sprint Treo 600 to be a disposable phone. It's 3-months out of warranty and is in perfect shape save for the fact that it stopped working as a cell phone. Sprint not only won't fix it, but they won't even look at it and PalmOne says they -can't- work on it because it's a Sprint Treo 600.

Apparently my only option is to replace it with a new one and I probably will because I have at least another $600 wrapped up in accessories, peripherals, and software. In fact, I'll probably replace it with a Treo 650 but I can promise you one thing for sure:

It won't be a Sprint Treo 650. I have no interest in dealing with a company that thinks a 15-month old, $450+, current-model ...

I've been with SprintPCS for about 3 years. I've been reasonably satisfied with them, except for the 3-4 "dead spots" that drop my calls (I live in Houston, TX). I've never had any serious billing issues and call quality is fine.

However, my cell phone (Samsung A460) is falling apart, I don't have equipment replacement and I'd have to wait till March to get the free phone upgrade.

Three days ago, I initiated a new plan with Verizon because:

1. Almost everyone I know has Verizon, so I can take advantage of the free in-network calls.
2. People tell me that Verizon call quality is good in my area.
3. Verizon has better phones than Sprint, and I can get one for cheap if I'm a new custome...

If you doewnload from other sites besides sprint, will that casue you to lose service a lot more. I have a VM 4500 and I used to be able to get service in a lead brick, I had full signal every where. Now I drop calls constantly and I can be sitting in my apt and have full signal and then look down and have no signal. I have taken it to get it worked on, and got a software, and PRL update and it didn't help any. ANY suggestons?

The poor coverage that I'm getting now is the same areas that I had excellant coverage in before. I know its the phone and not Sprint. Should I file an insurance claim, or what should I do?

This is a serious question. All of the older Sanyo phones (4900, 8100, 5500) had excellent signal strenght in my work area. The newer phones (4920, 8200, 7400) all have 2 bars of service. how do I know this? I still own a 5500 4 bars where I work all of the newer phones 2 bars. Why is this. I might look to upgrade to the 5600 in Jan but if the service is like the other newer ones (2 bars) there is no way I will purchase an upgrade. 🤭 👿

😲 Check this phone and the price out:

It ain't that serious! 🤣 🤣 🤣 😲 😲

My February 2005 issue of Consumer Reports just arrived in the mail. They have a very comprehensive review, based upon the experiences of 39,000 of their subscribers, of Overall Satisfaction and Performance ratings of nationwide cellular telephone carriers in seventeen US metropolitan area markets.

With such a large survey sampling, the results are highly valid, statistically. It is very interesting reading for anyone who is considering their first phone, or who may be considering changing carriers.

If you don't subscribe, Consumer Reports is available on newsstands or in your local public library.

Does anybody know of a place where I can buy an unlocked CDMA phones. There are always so many websites and indirect dealers that sell unreleased and unlocked GSM phones, but where can I get CDMA phones??? Let me know if you know of anything....please!!!

I called myself switching to Verizon Wireless, and they are no better than Spint, maybe it's my service area that sucks or something, cause I know that verizon is suppose to be like the s***, when it somes to service but, mine sucked. Did not like it one bit, was not impressed by there selection of phones, was not impressed with plans, I was spolied to 7pm off peek and had to go back to 9pm. which was hard to get use too, plus I have hit alot of dead spots where I just can't get coverage, and i can never get a signal in my office and my Sprint Phone always had a signal. I have a family share with verizon, and they make you pay $10 extra dollars for your second line to talk in-network which is crap. So I am canceling my contract and going ba...

I switched from Nextel to Sprint just before the merger. I'd like to know if I can use my nextel phone on my sprint account now, or maybe in the near future. Thanks.

i want some feed on what you guys think

Ok I know about the LG PM-325 but according to some of the people at Sprints' stores there are two other bluetooth enabled phones being released in the coming months. What I know so far is that one is by Samsung and is supposed to be out by the end of the month and the other is another LG, this time a flip phone, will be out soon after. Does anyone know anything about these phones or any other bluetooth phones in the works for sprint? I want a bluetooth phone but with the PM-325 being their first step I want to see whats coming before I run out and buy the first phone I see.

Thanks for any info

Technology Winners & Losers
The Sprint-Nextel merger raises questions about the future of Flarion's Flash-OFDM, WiMAX and even CDMA.

Apart from the obvious issues related to the integration of two disparate networks, the Sprint Nextel merger has longer-term technology implications, especially related to emerging wireless broadband solutions.

The two networks will continue along their separate paths for the time being – Sprint pushing ahead with its CDMA2000 1XEV-DO upgrade in 2005 and 2006, and Nextel Communication...

Does Sprint support GSM phones on there network?

I own a Audiovox SMT 5600, but AT&T is garbage. I've just canceled my service with AT&T and i'm stuck with the phone now.

Since I already have a plan with Sprint, I was thinking about just using the SMT 5600 on my sprint plan instead of using my old phone. Is it possible? Thanks.

I live in area code 39503 (Gulfport, MS). I currently have Verizon but am considering moving to Sprint due to their phone selection. The problem is I've heard their coverage sucks here. BUT if I'm in Sprint's extended network, wouldn't they be buying time off of Verizon's CDMA towers? Therefore, would I have the same coverage that I currently have with Verizon with Sprint?

I don't work for Sprint directly so I don't get a company phone, but I work for Convergys and I get a 23% employee discount.

I was wondering what kind of such discounts other Sprint users were getting.

Came over from Sprint, tried the v551.

All in all, Cingular network seems pretty good, but lots of dropped calls, voice quality not quite so good as Sprint CDMA, and incoming callers always complaining that they were getting all circuits busy messages.

The v.551 feels nice in one's hand, and has tons of great features. But all in all, the interface is too complex, and most of the cool features I would never use anyway.

So, I'm heading back to Sprint and a new Sanyo phone (Sanyo, IMHO, simply sets the standard for quality and performance in handsets - the menu is simple and elegant, and the phones work better than any I've ever used).

Not complaining here - the Cingular folks were v...

Anyone know if Nokia will make a CDMA version of the Nokia 6230? I'm with Sprint and don't want to give up my fair and flexible to port out to Cing. 😁 Very Happy Thanks for the info.

Does any know a good website that can give me some good hints and/or tricks on how to get the most out of my Sanyo PM8200?
