Sprint or Verizon - which is better?

[Maelstrom]

Hey all, new here. So my family and I originally had AT&T, but we just moved and get no reception. My dad canceled our account, but now we have to decide whether to go with Sprint or Verizon. I checked both companies coverage map, and according to them, we get 3g here.

Now, which would y'all go with?
Thx in advance (toast)

I have Verizon and it's great, but get Sprint. Verizon is a CDMA network, which means they don't use SIM cards, which is bad for many reasons. Unless you find it is much cheaper than Sprint, I wouldn't go with Verizon.

I have always used Sprint and for 69.99 USD per month, I get unlimited text, phone, and internet all day long:D

I am also blessed to be living in a 4G area, as I am planning on getting that new 4G HTC EVO phone.

nice, if we end up getting sprint I'm going to get the Evo too, I hope :D

Edit: Just got the Evo 4g on Sprint...loving it =D

Lucky dog. Looks like a nice phone. Then again, I could never live with a touchscreen phone unless it's as smooth and easy to use as an iPhone/iTouch. Apple is for teh fail, but their touchscreen interface is one thing they do right.

You should ask around locally to see who gets better reception in your area. Sprint shows as having very good coverage everywhere in my area. It's just not the case at all unfortunately.

Back in the day Spring was screwin us around even though we had been with Sprint since like the first flip phone came out. We went to Verizon but sometimes i wish we hadent. Even though, back then Verizon was alot better and relatively new. For 4g though, i suggest Sprint.

I had Sprint around here a few years ago. I had a 60% dropped call rate. I ditched them for AT&T. That's western PA tho. It depends strictly on your primary region.

[PP Mguire]

Yea we had dropped call problems too with Sprint.

I've been with Verizon for 6 years now. Love 'em and their customer service rocks.

I've been with Verizon for about a year now. The service is alright up in Northern PA.

Not sure about Sprint though, but Verizon is pretty good. When their towers go down, they're usually back up within a matter of hours

on versizon now grandfathered with alltell pricing. I have to say check your local area and see, if sprint has decent service go with them, your wallet will thank you.

if sprint isn't good in your area well welcome to the club, you're going to have to pay through the nose for entry. lol
