Sprint PCS - "We are unable to complete your call..." - Page 2

I understand that sometimes problems occur and calls get dropped... but I feel bad for my friends who have issues all the time with there carriers. It's a little ridiculous to pay like $50 to $80 a month and not be able to use your phone when you need it.

I like T-Mobile/Voicestream... they have really improved their plans and services.

When purchasing a cellular phone pay attention to 2 things (besides price):

#1. Coverage maps -- are the areas where you will be using the phone covered?

#2. Return policy -- make sure to test the phone in the areas you want to use it during the period where it's okay to get a refund or switch companies. I'd recommend RadioShack who usually gives you a 30 day return policy with most carrierrs (14 days with Sprint PCS)

I have VoiceStream/T-Mobile and it works pretty well for me. I haven't traveled very far with it, though, so I'm not too sure how much coverage they have.

The only time I really have any trouble with dropped calls is in my apartment

where I have very little signal... that's what I get for living in the ground floor of a cement block building though. However, I'm moving into a house in a few weeks, and there, I get great signal!

i dont know if its just local to my like state, but i havent heard anyone yet mention Centennial...they've never done me wrong!! loyal customer for years now.

Never heard of 'em... Must be like the 2 small carriers we have here in Oklahoma.... US Cellular and Pioneer.

Sometimes the small guys like that have pretty good stuff if you're away from cities.

Um ok after hearing all this great stuff about Sprint (Sprint and Verizon are the best in Michigan), on December 14th I went and got myself one.

I just received a bill for Nov 15-Dec 14. For $70. My plan is $50 plus the tax, plus free Sprint to Sprint, plus no roaming when I leave the state, which should only equal to $68.

How many minutes did I use for that ONE day of the billing cycle that apparently is mine? ONE MINUTE. The dude told me my billing cycle would start December 14.

WTF is goin on here.

I would just like to say that I hate all cell phone retailers WITH A PASSION. I want a phone that works in northern WI, southwest WI, and southeast WI. I also want said phone to work in DC and Chicago. THESE ARE THE ONLY PLACES IT NEEDS TO WORK and there is no such company that can do this. A big WTF to you, cell phone places.

My sister just got a bill for over $400 for her cell phone. I have no idea what company she uses. I just think that bill is ridiculous.

after changing plans about 2 years ago, i got a bill for $900. i almost had a heart attack!!! i switched to a plan that included more minutes, but had no effect on the fact that i already had free long distance. well, apparently, they made a boo boo and charged me a long distance fee for the length of each call. after calling like a raving lunatic, they were able to fix it, but the guy i spoke to had to get his supervisor to sign off on it because it was over a certain amount.

i got a new phone in august and i keep losing calls all the time. apparently, my phone uses new technology and they don't have as many towers yet. unfortunately, no one told me this when i bought the phone. and you can't buy a phone with the old technology because they are obsolete. my question is, why are they obsolete if the new phones don't have the same range and reliabilty of service?
