Had I posted I don't use Sprint, sorry I should expect the snark to roll 
in for what truly would have been useless post.  I posted my experience 
with an outfit that doesn't require a contract using complete sentences 
and hopefully proper spelling and grammar.   A lot of cell phone 
contracts I hear people get stuck with suck badly and the vast majority 
of those people would save a ton of money moving to a no contract pay as 
you go plan.  I can't believe those little smartphones are still being 
sold for over $600, both IOS and Android.  This all gets hidden in 
contracts because most people suck at math and never figure it out.  I 
recently bought a Samsung Galaxy tablet for under $200.  

I merely threw out a cell phone recommendation trying to insert a  
modicum of content here.  Take it or leave it.  Based upon what I read 
about that Cell One and Sprint deal I'd steer clear of any company that 
would do what they did to customers who paid good money for a phone that 
became useless in that deal.  I doubt even AT&T would stoop to that 
level of customer service.

So where's your opinion or non-opinion on Sprint?   Or do you subscribe 
to "do as I say not as I do?"
