Thanks for the reply first and for most!
Also I apologize for not saying so earlier but yes I am out of contract (successfully got Sprint to end all my contracts (5 lines) when they changed their TOS a couple of months ago.
An update as far as the cellular situation goes. I am going to go to Verizon! I am sorry but I just can not and for that matter will not wait realistically 1-2 years for 4G in my area. By then Verizon will be half way through their LTE advanced network most likely. Which is really a shame as I have had pretty good customer service from Sprint through the years. Data caps are not a really big deal to me as the two lines I am going to take to Verizon will only use about 4gb/month hopefully.
I think the deal breaker for me was when I had a friend who just switched to Verizon come over the other day. We ran a speed test in my house, which is in a rural part of the area right outside of Lynchburg, and got 30 Mbps burst and it held at 23 Mbps. Those are speeds that even when Ntelos upgrades the towers here, they will most likely NEVER hit.
On a side note I am sorry to hear you are stuck in contract with them. Plus side of it is, you have a truely Bad@ss phone! Thanks again for the replies!
