Or Verizon could, god forbid, upgrade their network more. For having the most customers, they "should" be the cheapest, yet that's just the opposite.
Please explain why my Sprint Blackberry (and my co-workers with their Sprint work phones) all drop calls on the regular. Or sketchy signal if fucking Franklin county. Or voice mails that show up days later. Don't worry, we have suffered with it for years so we are used to Sprint's exceptional service.
Because Sprint is shit. I've dealt with them for about 8 years now. They are better than they were then, but so is every other cell provider.
Try using Verizon down in Wayne National Forest. I go there several times a year to quad (where having a cell phone can be pretty important). Verizon = you can't even send a text. AT&T = full 3G service. It goes both ways.
