Sprint Vs Verizon ???

[4Gas$]

I’m a long time Verizon customer. I love everything about Verizon,
but the cost! I’m wondering if I should “jump ship” & join Sprint.

Verizon: 4 Lines, 16 gigs shared = $150 per month.
Sprint: 4 lines, 30 gigs shared = $107.50 per month.

I was all set to switch, then a friend screamed/yelled/ranted
DON’T DO IT! He said he did the Verizon to Sprint switch several months
ago, and then switch right back because the service was so bad. He’s talking
about all over the state / country, the big city’s seem ok, everything else “sucks”.

Or is T Mobile or another carrier the way to go?

What say you guys?

I have Verizon, and like it, but it is a bit pricey.

Ive had Sprint since 2002 or around there and while their LTE coverage could be better, I have no complaints about their coverage. Usually I have service everywhere I go, just not always LTE. Their 3g is basically useless to do anything on.

My work phone is Verizon and compared to the two, there isnt much of a difference. At least from my experience.

Google Fi has been amazing for me.

Sorry, I got my prices wrong. The Sprint is the $107.50 and the Verizon is $150.

For where you live, you're probably best off with Verizon since they have the best coverage.

Sprint service sucks.. LTE blows.. I'm looking to switch to someone else

Define "sucks".

Define "sucks".

I have Verizon on 2 phones (work and personal) most co-workers have ATT/Sprint etc on theirs. I never have to move around the building to gain 4G or better reception. They all can only use their phones in certain spots at work. Its the one time that I don't mind paying extra for better service.

At&t ftw!

Coworker did it 3 months ago. Said he would pay double his bill to switch back. Hates Sprint. Hates his decision. Said Verizon is worth the extra and more!

I have no issues with Sprint at all, and I travel a lot.

I switched to Cricket after 15 years with Verizon. Is the service as good as Verizon? No, but it's close enough that I don't mind. The price change was astounding and I'm happy I switched. Been with Cricket for over a year now.
(Cricket runs on AT&T's network)

If you are just looking for a lower cost, Sprint may be lower.
If you use your phone for anything other than a paperweight, I'd stay with Verizon.

You can do a search on the site here for Sprint and see what the general consensus is, that might be helpful.

Sprint has horrible service in your area. At&t isn't bad check them out

i switched to verizon about a year ago now. best decision i ever made. it costs me a little more each month. but not dropping calls, faster browsing speeds, better service in general is well worth it.

i would only switch back if i desperately needed to cut costs but as of right now the small increase is worth it

I have both, Verizon for work and Sprint for personal. Not much of a difference however I will say Tustin certain body shops where Verizon has bad connection Sprint was always solid, I typically travel the whole US so I get actual coverage

I went the other way over a year ago, and going to Verizon was well worth it. My parents still have Sprint, and I'm constantly able to maintain signal and pull data faster than they are. On top of that, Sprint customer service is about as pleasant as prison shower time.

I don't know if the prices you quoted are current, but you may want to have them check again and see if Verizon's new plans make more sense for your family. Also check to see if anyone in your family gets a work discount.
