Sprint sucks!

I am so sick and tired of Sprint having horrible coverage. This evening I tried to call my parents from my home and the damn thing dropped the call twice after the phone only rang once. Once, I did actually get connected, the damn phone dropped in the middle of my conversation with my mother, then after getting on with my brother it dropped again. That makes four dropped calls in one damn conversation. GRRRR!!!

This has been an ongoing issue and I am finally at my wits end. I have had Sprint for at least 5 years and have been all over the country with it and there are routinely tons of dead areas.....just outside of Stockton on the way to Sacramento in California, no where in Southern Utah, at my residence in a heavily populated metro area of Baton Rouge, half way between Baton Rouge and New Orleans on I-10, Chad and Timmy's house, Kevin and Lewis's home in Baton Rouge, every parking structure I enter, between Brownsville, TX and South Padre Island, areas on South Padre Island, Downtown Baton Rouge, Downtown New Orleans, etc....now as I am typing this and I try to re-dial after another dropped connection, the stupid thing is searching for service. Funny thing is I have friends who come over with their AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile phones and they ALL HAVE FULL SERVICE HERE!!!

I dropped by the Sprint store located 1.5 miles down the street last week and was told that Sprint is working on expanding their coverage and hope to install new towers nearer to where I live, but unfortunately, I have heard that for the past 18 months. I used to stand by Sprint and tell everyone I knew they were good. To be fair, they do have nice phones and great plans, but if I can't use the dang thing, then it doesn't do any good!

Todd and Michael cancelled their Sprint service today in favor of AT&T and I am very near in following suit. The only reason I have stayed with Sprint is because I have an old grandfathered cheap plan, but that's not worth it anymore. This is so aggravating, I have learned to use my phone less and less, because I can not use it when I need to.

From this moment on, I am an enemy to Sprint. Everyone I tell will hear horror stories about this company and the poor coverage they provide. Stupid Sprint. They suck!!
