I have been a contract subscriber since 2000.  I have no desire or plans to leave.  Sure, for a while their phone selection was weak, but that has changed.  I have know idea why people are complaining about their customer service - I have called CS maybe 3 times - once on a rebate status, and twice to get my employee discount billing in order.  I think CS issues are like something of a self-fulfilling prophecy; the word is a company has bad CS, so when you deal with them you go in with a preconceived mindset.<br>Service wise, I have no issues.  Started with them in Sioux City, IA (small city) service was solid in town and along major highways.  Now I live in KC and have excellent service.  $15/mo for unlimited data, cant beat it.<br><br>As long as they provide service I will be with them!<br><br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[blaine ball]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 12th 2008 4:42PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Sprint dropped 1.09 million subscribers in Q1]]></title><link>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/05/12/sprint-dropped-1-09-million-subscribers-in-q1/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/05/12/sprint-dropped-1-09-million-subscribers-in-q1/</guid><description><![CDATA[Purchase of the Instinct requires activation on an Everything plan, starting at $69.99.
