Is It Really Worth Switching From Sprint To AT&T?

Ok...so I'm still debating the switch only because of the price of AT&T's plans. I've had Sprint for 7 years now and it is horrible. However, they recently changed their plans and they are very cheap. Right now, I have the Blackberry Unlimited Everything for $70 (web surfing, picture mail, messaging, calls to any cellphone provider, etc.) and 450 minutes to call landlines w/insurance ($7), so a total of about $80 per month.

If I switch to AT&T, 900 minutes ($60), unlimited text ($20), 2GB Blackberry ($25), Insurance ($5), will run me about $110 every month.

As many may know, SPRINT SUCKS! The service is horrible! I got a Blackberry 9650 about 3 weeks ago (everyone was saying all the problems was with my previous cell phone who was just a regular flip phone), and there have been no changes. I have so many drop calls, the phone roams outside, when I do talk, it echoes and sounds like the person is deep in a ditch. Mind you, I live in a major city and my house is by the sidewalk. I have had nothing but horrible service with Sprint for all these years. The phone itself runs very slow, freezes, and just messes up. In the 3 weeks, I've had to get two replacements (to no improvement).

I know that all carriers have problems, but Sprint just changed their plans to dirt cheap because of all the service problems. I've heard AT&T, who claims they have the best coverage, also has drop calls and so/so service.

My question is: should I switch to AT&T and get a Blackberry 9700 (and get a more expensive plan) and possibly better service? Or should I stick with Sprint?

Thanks!
 
You should stick with Sprint. Their prices are really good. For a small amount of money you get internet, unlimited texted and calling(to ANY network). AT&T is really expensive for this stuff. Unlike Sprint, you have to pay extra for internet, and for certain phones, you have to pay extra to text. You also have to use your minutes to call other cell phones. AT&T's phones are usually really expensive, unless they're just crap. On Sprint, you only use your minutes for home phones, and any phone that's not a cell phone. I have Sprint and love it. I have quite a few friends who just switched from a blackberry to something like an android, or something like I have(LG Rumor Touch). Now they have great service, and most people agree it's the Blackberry plan that makes the phone calls horrible. Hope this helps!
