Well I have sprint and have had it for four years now. I like it. However, I wanted to bring up a good point that you might want to ask people in your area what they like. I go to school 2 hours away from my home town (a bigger city then where my school it), but I still have same number I had when I lived there. I recently went to a sprint store where I live now to replace a phone I had broken. They informed me that at the sprint store they could not give me a phone with the same area code that I have currently and in order to get the phone there I'd have to switch my number to that city's area code. I was thinking about it, since I've had the same number for four years and have been wanting to change it. But the sales guy informed me that if I switched my number to the smaller city's area code, I would receive MORE dropped calls. Apparently the service quality is different in different cities. Which now I know why everyone in my college town HATES sprint. He tried to explain exactly why the service quality was different, I didn't quite understand. But he said if it was him, he'd kept the area code I currently had. If you live in a big city, I don't think it would make that big of a difference.
