Anybody ever switch cell phone carriers then switch back?

just did it, had sprint for years, then AT&T for years, switched back to sprint last weekend, cut my bill by 60%

ETA: new phones for almost nothing and no contract

We're thinking of going from Verizon from ATT. What's been so bad?

How's sprints service? I'm thinking about switching from Verizon.

Bait and switch tactics. Poor customer service. Nobody will do a thing for you. Poor internal communication in that one person will tell me one thing and when I call back its a completely different story.

I've actually spent more money per month despite the fact that I was sold on the basis of it being cheaper. It has not been at all.

I feel like this is every carrier. The reason we're switching is our bill at AT&T is high already and were about to have to get two new phones raising it $60 more a month. By switching to Verizon we'll get 4 new phones and the bill will be the same as the AT&T bill is now.

I feel like that's the name of the game. We'll probably stay with Verizon for about 2 years and then switch again.

This is the exact reason I left AT&T. The problem was that it's not been cheaper it's been way more expensive. Had I known that I would have just stayed with att because I liked the service.

Switched from att to Verizon in April. Wasn't really unhappy with att but Verizon made me a very good deal. Verizon has been terrible through the entire process and I'm thinking of switching back to att.


You sound like a woman.

Not sure exactly what that means but if shopping around for the best deal makes me a woman so be it.

Thought all phone/ internet/ cable providers etc, had bad customer service...

The only thing better about the phone companies is that my bill doesn't seem to increase on a monthly basis like it does with the internet/satellite. For that reason, I never really need the customer service. I'm with Verizon, btw, and they have a very cheap and excellent road side assistance for towing, lock outs, etc...

I switched from AT&T when I had unlimited DATA to Verizon. I hate that I gave up the grandfathered plan but they were throttling speeds and their cell service was terrible at the time. I was on the road a lot and had dropped calls daily. I have had great service with Verizon and now I can facetime during an LSU game 100k other phones in the area. I still think $100 a month is BS.

Had Sprint, went to AT and T. Went back to Spring when they cut my bill in half

Sprint has vastly improved coverage and customer service
