Get new Sanyo MM-7400 or Get rid of Sprint?

http://www1.sprintpcs.com/explore/Ph...=1100576471626


Well my current VGA1000 seems to be dying on me (got it when it first came out). I was also thinking of getting out of sprint since my contract is over next month. I havent had any issues with sprint but their phones arent very exciting and was hoping for a bluetooth phone.

My current plan is 700 anytime min with free nights and weekends for $45


Is there any plans out there that can beat that?

I say stay with Sprint. That phone is nice! I got the VM4500. But yea, they are kinda boring. No bluetooth, no mp3 ring tones, etc. If you're looking to have the most minutes for the cheapest price w/ free nights and weekends, stay with Sprint. I don't think there are any other plans out there that can beat that price.

The MM-7400 is pretty cool. It will play multimedia, TV, video, etc.

True, but the sprint service is something i would suggest for a business person who lives in the city and does not travel much out of the city either....and mainly travels just work and home and maybe out to eat somewhere close by...nowhere very far...

Sprint coverage could be so much better if they focused more on that, instead of having the newest and best phones out

Tmobile balances the 2..

Such as right now..I'm not trying to sell a phone or anything its just a great deal..

Buy the New Blackberry for upfront price up $150 and it comes w/ a $50 rebate for activation and another $50 rebate for getting a data plan... so the total cost is $50. For a phone that retails for over $199 w/ a price plan, which was published in a Phone Shopper magazine.

But Personally I would dump Sprint...go with T-mobile for your first choice, but if it doenst work in your area I suggest trying AT&T/Cingular...

Tmobile has deffinately more reliable network and billing process than Cingular...

Every customer I get from Cingular porting their # over to Tmobile says one of the following:

1. Cingular over charged me for the minutes I didnt use.
2. Cingular and cheated me on my roll overs.
3. I've been w/ Cingular for over 3 years and still they dont have promotions as good as you all.



Haha as I'm typing this one guy jst walked into the store and said that he hate cingular cause everywhere he travels it keeps dropping calls...I find that hilarious since we are talking about this..

1) you believe customers? (most of them are full of shit, and whine and piss about every little thing)
2) Cheated on rollovers? so they only have 6,230 rollover minutes not 6,330? lol (i never heard this once ever)
3) Cingular has similar promotions but not as good as tmobiles because they arent as desperate for customers.

what tmobile doesnt drop calls...1900mhz one band tmobile haha "cant use the phone indoors"....

what makes tmobile's network more reliable?

haha you set me up for that...

Cause you asked me if i thought it was better than cingular...BIYATCH...

its jst what people tell me.. its jst an opinion I'm not saying go w/ Tmobile and nothing...just some insight...to go with which ever service works best w/ your area, how much you want to pay a month, and what ever you can afford the best...


All service companies come w/ a trial service period, jst try em all and which ever works the best go with that1

T-Moblie is fucking terrible. I had a boss with T-moblie and his fucking phone never rang. The thing would go straight to voicemail. He would accuse me and others of not calling and then would see 11+ new voicemails. My younger sister also has T-moblie same thing lots of calls that go straight to VM. There plans are cheap as fuck but they SUCK....you get what you pay for. IMO sprint has the best service but phone are so so.

MM-A700

I love mine.

Sprint's coverage is pretty good (MUCH better than my Nextel was) and I have an America plan (free roaming) so it roams to Verizon (or whoever) anywhere else.

T-Mobile is a joke of a cell phone service, cingular should do everyone a favor and buy them out next. I had them last year and the service was so bad I only used 9 minutes one month. I actually had a girl break up with me cause she used to call my phone and i never answered because it would go straight to voicemail, she thought i was blowing her off and didnt believe me when i told her my phone sucks, thats how bad t-mobile is.
