Good for you. Please come back and tell us how things are with Sprint
in a year. You can just tell me if you want. I'm all for moving around
with cellular companies. It keeps them on their toes. Just like the
election tomorrow, when service gets bad you need to throw out the
company running the show and get the other guys to run it for a while.

Verizon isn't the the greatest like they say they are and maybe if they
lose customers they will wise up.
