Sorry Sprint, our little dance is over
Man, what a bummer. I was so happy to switch to Sprint last November in order to have direct integration with Google Voice.
And if you’re not up on it, here’s more on what Google Voice is and the reasons I love it.
Only, the “integration” is shoddy at best, working half the time and the other half of the time my calls come from a Sprint number.
But the worst part is the coverage for Sprint is amazingly worse than AT&T in Atlanta, at least for me. It’s horrible. All the reviews I read online said otherwise, so I thought I was getting Google Voice integration (not so much) and a bonus of better coverage.
Now I’m going to switch to Verizon. I can’t take not being able to make calls at my house or the office. I’ll just use the Google Voice app on Verizon and hope for the best.
The Google Voice app on my Sprint droid phone works fantastic. However, I really didn’t adopt Voice until after I had switched to Sprint up in Chicago (because AT&T was miserable in Wrigleyville, especially game days). So, my Voice number and my cell number are one in the same. With that, the integration works very well.
I could see if your Voice # was already established and different than your normal cell number, the integration would be less than awesome (which sounds like the case). We’ll see if I’m still with Sprint when my contract runs out here in a few months.
