But it is just because Tmobile doesn't run the gamit down here as far as owning towers. So ask around about who has the best service in your city.

Every company has the ability to "port" numbers in from other carriers, and your old carrier cannot, by law, keep the number. There should be no charge.

We have had 2 razors in our home over the last two years. They have both sucked, not very durable and the battery life is poor. And I fix them all the time at work (I work for Sprint). I think that the moisture indicator is MADE to show water damage even if the phone never got wet. I don't like them at all.

Like I said, I work for a Sprint store, and I don't suggest you stay with the company. I won't switch my service because I don't want to cancel my Tmobile contract, I don't want to lose my sidekick, and I sure as he** don't want to deal with Sprint customer service. I deal with it enough every day. Blech. I can't believe you waited that long on hold! And I hate that they outsource their customer service because half the time the CS reps don't speak fluent english.

Now a new legislation has passed that if you want to take your phone from one company, other networks can activate that phone. BUT, the sucky thing that Sprint did was make all their phones without a sim card, so they can't use other phones from other networks on their "technology", and you can't use any other phone besides the one you buy from Sprint on their network. Smart, huh?

There is a great article in the most recent Consumer Reports magazine about national cell carriers. I bet all cell phone consumers could benefit from this knowledge.

So, I love Tmobile, they have great data plan pricing and fun phones. I hate razors, I hate sprint. There's my 2 cents.

Thanks for the info You know what, that moisture thing bothers me a LOT because we live in south Florida, it's hella humid here about 90% of the year. I think that the humidity in the air has to affect that indicator thingie, because I've been told before with one of my hubby's phones that it was water damage, when it was NOT. I HATE Sprint too, and the only reason I stayed on hold was so that I could get that return label.. After the new year, they are changing the terms of our service again, so we will cite breach of contract on their part to get out of their H#ll. We're going with AT&T and Iphones!!!! We have several friends that have them and they say the coverage is fantastic and the phones are very good so far.

Thanks again, everyone has been SO helpful with this
