I have sprint and have had them for about 6 years. I have never had a problem with their phone service. I was at the sandbar and called some buddies in Cali, watching the poker run between Havasu and Parker and called my bro, and never have a problem even driving there- full service from Phx to Havasu. They are constantly improving their network, a couple of years ago I couldn't get a good signal at Lake Pleasant in Phx, now I have no problems anytime. I have had numerous phones, currently I have a $200 Samsung, and the service is even better. I don't know what others thing, but I think a great phone definately helps. I'm happy.
