Methodically disorganized
Most of the region has a "Fair" signal, with only scattered spots being better, and some good-sized chunks that get nothing at all.

I have 3 lines with sprint service and I have not had any problems with my service.
Thinking about that also, since they took away the new every two year program verizon just doesn't seem worth it.

I've have 2 lines with them for 3 years and it all depends on where you are in the county. Verizon has a monopoly on most of the towers around places like Lex Park, Hollywood, and Mechanicsville. You can get service in those areas but it can be spotty depending on the type of phone you have. I will say though Sprint does have excellent service in the 7th District and Tall Timbers areas 4 bars all the way whereas our verizon was 'out of area' in those places. Honestly, I've been very happy with them and they haven't raised my bill once, just make sure your plan is what you need as opposed to what you want. Welcome to not being thrown over a barrel every month

When I first moved out here I was up in the Mechanicsville area and got zero service with Sprint. They actually let me out of my contract (without fussing). Switched to Verizon and haven't had any major issues (or an increasing bill except when I've changed plans). I've found two dead spots, just enough to drop a call about half the time you hit them. One at the "flood zone" on Baptist Church Rd in Mechanicsville, one at the 4-way stop in Clements.

Lets see, paying about 200 a month for 4 phones w verizon, so 2,400 bucks a year, have to pay for that luxury. What about when we did not have cell phones, the home phone, or phone booth was just fine. Could have another new car.

Verizon quietly scraps "new every two" credit - Jan. 13, 2011
I'm not sure if the promotional prices are lower or higher but it sounds like they're simplifying the process, not cutting the discount entirely. Do any other phone companies have that new every two? They were calling the Verizon new every two a "unique" plan.
And since when is the Verizon bill getting higher each month? Once you sign a contract it's the same price every month unless you go over by more and more each month

?? I have 0 service in Tall Timbers with Sprint.
I travel to St. George's Island via Indian Bridge Rd and lose service about half way down Indian Bridge then get service again in Callaway and it's gone again about half way to the island.
Actually like it though, nice to be able to turn off the phone.

I had the basic plans, low cost. Nearly everytime I went in to get a new phone, it was , "Oh BTW, if you want that phone you have to upgrade your plan. Your old plan is no longer valid and can't be grandfathered if you get a new phone."
I wound up staying with the same basic phone for years to avoid cost increases.

I disagree. I play in a dart league out of the Ridge American Legion. When I had my Verizon cell I never had any service down there. Now that I've switched to Sprint, I have full signal. I switched last April and the Sprint Plan is so much better than Verizon's was. I travel a lot and haven't had any problems with the Sprint coverage.

Ah fair enough. They always change the plans. Sometimes the plans aren't necessarily more expensive, but the plan you had 2 years ago is rarely the same one you'll get with your next phone since things change. But sometimes the price is the same and you just have to change your plan a little. Every company seems to do that.
yup, I've heard Sprint works down that way but AT&T pretty much doesn't. Verizon may not have full signal but I've had signal at the Legion...
