Could you give me a reason to switch to Sprint service. I am ready to buy new phones, and taking the above scenario into consideration, where do you think I should look? The only reason not to switch over to Sprint would be coverage in a particular area you live in or travel to. Sprint's network is still a work in progress. They still have holes in some major metro areas. I've noticed good progress over time, but within the last year have still had problems in Chicago, LA, San Diego, and the 101 between LA and SF(I believe the 101 has been resolved). Sprint is spending major bucks to resolve the above. If there are no major coverage holes in areas you frequent, I would not worry about the others, as they should be corrected in short order. Other than that, Sprint has it all. Pricing plans are excellent, all the benefits CDMA brings are there(too numerous to list<g>), 1xrtt is just on the horizon, and all plans are nationwide. Their phone selection is excellent, especially the junk they will not allow on their network...<gg> I believe number portability goes into effect later in 2002, so even that barrier to switching carriers will soon be removed. Good Luck, Cooters
