If Sprint's coverage was a bit better, and CDMA was a bit faster, I would be inclined to agree but as it stands having poor (or no signal) and slower speeds is a pretty big trade-off to make for some people. I opted to go the other direction. I decreased everything on my plan to get my AT&T bill down to $54/month. Tiny voice plan (they don't advertise it, call and threaten to cancel and they will offer it) 2GB of data, 250 texts. Fits my usage needs very well. Cheap. Fast. Good coverage. I would have possibly went with the 250MB data plan, since I use wifi 90% of the time, but they offered me a deal on the 2GB plan. I looked back at my data usage for the last 4 years and I went over 2GB once while I was on vacation.
