After 11 years, a switch to Sprint....

After looking around for REAL phones Saturday,(since Alltels are junk and we have numerous areas we cannot get service) I found only Sprint/ Nextel had good quality phones. Verizon looks like a clone of Altell, with row after row of pre-teen, and teenager flip phones. At the SPrint store I found large, rubber coated, loud ringing, real antenna, monster battery phones.(Nextel had the best, too bad its terrible service and I hope the Java enabled GPS phone for timekeeping on the SPrint side is a hardcore type phone when it comes out in APril) After days of testing I found a combination of superior technology and better phones means WAY superior service.

I also called the " Business Line" for Alltel, never received a call back after leaving voice mail messages, Verizon had a recording after entering numbers for 10min, that said they were closed With Sprint I was able to get a local cell number and direct assistance......

So I will now get REAL phones, REAL CHEAP BUSINESS PLANS, and GPS timekeeping services, ect, ect. It appears ONLY Sprint is interested in the businesses that built the network, and the multiple lines of service a business purchases.....well, ok

A funny update. The Sprint business services roll out was CANCELED for now.(until they decide to do it and make phones for it) Get this, they decided to focus on pre-teens, teens and some general consumer, rather then team up with Nextel to bring us business service. The business sales rep was priety down about it.

What is the deal? I would love to see market research on the value of business customers.

Going with 2 lines of service and RL-4930 phones for now. A bit nervous, the RL-4930 is a great phone, but the RL-4920 loaners had a serious design flaw causing them to over heat BIG TIME! Oh well, atleast we can get decent service in the Altel holes.
