That completely makes sense for people with spotty Sprint service. When I bought the 730 a couple of years back I tried Sprint and had to return the phone because I had horrible service in the areas I now have great service. This was 2-3 years ago mind you. I saw your post on VZW changing their policy on changing your plan with regards to contract end date. While that is awesome news. Sprint is still cheaper by far. I wish VZW would get their act together. Chances are in 2 years when my SERO contract is up VZW will be better.
