I dont believe i blindly support sprint.
i support sprint with full consciousness because of their ability to cover every area that i need.No, im not saying i have full signal everywhere i go, not saying that at all. But it doesnt matter when i have 1 bar or 6 bars with sprint. its all the same (unlike with tmobile and AT&T)

And as for international texting, if european phones are so advanced they should have email push like my phone and most sprint phones do. with email push, it works just like a text, only you send it to a email address instead of a phone number. or you can do like american carriers do, and attach an email address to the phone number. every company has a different format but sprint's goes like this. say your phone number was 555.555.5555
So to send a text to this number from any handset or computer, you simply send it to 5555555555@messaging.sprintpcs.com it will show up as a text message and if it is over 160 characters, it automatically gets split up into however many text messages are needed to cover all the words.

Sorry about going off on that long Nextel tangent, not sure how many of you read that book that I left. I am the one who had to stand there face to face with VERY upset Nextel customers after the merge seemed to ruin there service. This was a Nextel heavy area, and it got real ugly for a while, especially with Sprint's 'emergency' CSR's recommending upgrading phones to fix a problem that they couldn't. Bad memories, I'd almost forgot about that until iowa claimed that Sprint bailed out Nextel.

The sad thing is my dad left his Nextel account when Sprint bought and end up going to the WORSE provide of US Cellular. You think you have bad memories.yeah.

Why do you think nextel was for sale? if they were doing so great why sell out? nextel was gaining tons of subscribers and couldn't expand fast enough. kind of like being too successful too fast. so they sold it to sprint hoping sprint could expand it faster, but sadly this was a mistake with both parties.

Actually sprint suffered more from it, thier bad cs was caused from then trying to merge to companies together and they didn't have enough time to focus on cs.

Actually all carriers maps look something like that. att and tmobile deceive you by adding thier roaming agreements in the map. sprint doesn't lie about it. if you take sprint's, alltel's, and verizon's coverage maps and place them together, you'll have the real sprint coverage, due to roaming agreements. in my opinion sprint should have bought alltel. att claims to have the largest digital network but that is a lie. in reality alltel has the best coverage in the united states. actually if alltel and sprint even teamed up they would dominate the united states for cellular use.
