9. "Sprint is very closed when it comes to their network" In response to In response to 7
A buddy of mine was going to sell me his Verizon phone a few years back thinking that Sprint would activate it because they're a CDMA carrier as well. Sprint even sold the phone themselves under a different name (it was the XV6800, which Sprint sold as the PPC6800), but when I called Sprint to check on this they balked at me. I was told that Sprint will not activate a phone that was not originally on their network and I would have to get this one on through Verizon.
As for their shitty service... When I had Sprint I went to Vegas and was pretty surprised that Sprint didn't have 4G coverage there except at the airport and this was just back in March. Bad enough they didn't have it back home but at least stand it up all over Las Vegas. When 3G was hot, Sprint couldn't be touched in terms of coverage area and speed, now they're second rate at best.
