iPhones and Sprint roaming = no data.

I just switched from Verizon to Sprint because to update to the new iPhone was going to be $866.40 early upgrade payoff...should have just paid it. Now I have 2 iPhones that don't get calls, slow downloads (if at all)...Verizon please forgive us...we WILL BE BACK!

Why would you go in blind? I would of went with one of their pre paid carriers and try them out or start a plan with sprint and cancel within 2-3 days and you'll lose perhaps $100 bucks or perhaps less. I went in blind because Verizon was costing me $150 for myself and service wasn't fantastic for me

Didn't go in "totally" blind...A friend came by with their Sprint iPhone 6s Plus. All our phones seemed to work great at first...I should have tested the system with Speedtest though. The phones did show 3-4 bars with LTE... I just didn't realize that here in California the "High Speed LTE" is 3-5 Megs download except in very few places. Also at the time I tried her phone it worked okay. Now...not so much.

Bars mean nothing.... I get around 2-3 bars at home and get around 10-15 mbps depending on the time of the day. You practically went in blind because you didn't test it out yourself for a period of time....
