Rates. Right now we have the Everything Messaging (unlimited) family plan w/ 1500 shared anytime minutes. We never go the amount of talk minutes we have available, and the kids are happy because they can text their fingers off if they want to. Other than feeling like DH and I are paying too...

DH and I were looking at Sprint's coverage map. We are in a "fair" area and, I kid you not, the very next street over has no coverage. DH said he wishes they would put a tower in our back yard, pay us about $3000/mo in rent, and fence all around it so the chickens could go in there.

There are 4 of us on a family plan. We all have different phones, none too fancy, and none of us get good service here so I don't think the phones are the problem. Could be the same problem with different carriers too... wish we could test drive cell service!
Our contract with Sprint will be up soon and I'm trying to decide if we're going to stick with them or change. As I'm researching and reading over all the different company plans I feel like pulling my hair out. Sprint has been ok for us when we're traveling but here at the house the coverage...
