I plan to get the new iphone and want to know which is the better service provider. Please give as much detail about your experience with plans coverage and price as possible. Thanks.

Verizon has discontinued unlimited data, and Sprint hasn't. However, Sprint doesn't have the coverage Verizon does. Other than that, the companies are similar, as far as sound clarity, and overall call quality.

this question is dependent on where you live and your life style than anything. I would say that for most people Verizon is more expensive but is more robust and reliable then any other carrier out there and I am not a Verizon customer. I would say look at where you will use your phone the most and decide that way.

Also do you care about 4G or does 3g work for you as well. Everything said here is very valid but I do not have VZ or nor am I with sprint any more. I wanted a 4G phone and at the time I was and still am with t-mobile so got a my touch 4G. lastly before I go, do you want a Iphone or are you looking into the android platform. Sprint and VZ both have the 2 platforms for you to choose from when you do make your dicision. Good luck in deciding who your going with as a cell phone carier.

Sorry I rered your post and saw your wanting a Iphone. I am not sure if sprint is going to include their YMax 4G network in the phone if that is something you care about.

given a choice between those two, i'd have to say vzw. if however you want to add more in to the mix i've had good luck with AT&T myself so far, been extremely helpful and the plan has been a solid thing for me.

I've been an AT&T customer for over 8 years and found there service to be excellent. Ya can't beat role over minutes.
