Absolutely true about Sprint's customer service.  My boss and his family all have one, I am expected to work with their phones from time to time.  I spent over an hour waiting for tech support last week and finally gave up. My fiancee had the same problem two weeks ago.

You can also Google 'Sprint Customer Support' and see all kinds of peoples' rants about Sprint.

  Paul,

  If you can wait until the new year, the telecom guy here says that there will probably be VERY aggressive selling going on. The cell companies REALLY need to compete now that numbers are portable, they just are not going to do it until after the holidays (they figure that people giving gifts are going to buy regardless). He tells me that the deals should be quite good.

  As far as companies, he recommends Verizon or AT&T Wireless. Avoid Sprint like the plague, their corporate culture is that time spent on customer service is wasted. They simply DO NOT CARE about their customers.

  Verizon:
  Pro - Largest network, good service
  Con - Tend to charge for added features that others include (call waitiing, forwarding, etc) Lots of nickel and dime

  AT&T Wireless:
  Pro - Best Customer Service in industry (according to my guy here), good network (about equal to Sprint PCS, but be careful in rural areas)
  Con - Some connection issues in outlying areas. May be slightly more expensive.

  Hope this helps...
