RE: Sprint Cell Phone - used one day, then cancelled service - couldn't use phone from local Wal-Mart

I recently signed up for Sprint Shared plan after having AT&T for 2 years. I used it 1 day, then dropped it. I made a call from Walmart (in my home city) and the call wouldn't go through and it started ROAMING!!!!

I called on my AT&T phone (fornuately I kept it for awhile to see how things would go) and it got through loud and clear with no roaming.

What good is a cell phone if you can't use it in basic places like Walmat? Sprint advertises their great connection and quality of service. It is a joke. I now refer to Sprint PCS by the following: Periodic Celluar Service
