I had Sprint every since smart phones became popular, probably around 2005/2006. I liked it because of the unlimited data. My Mom lived in Swanton and everytime I would visit her I would lose service. I purchased my 1st boat in 2014, I fish out of Meinke's Marina, EVERYTIME we went out anywhere past the Gravel Pit I'd lose service, no phone calls, streaming music or GPS. After my second season 2015, I tried to call Boat US and had no service, thank God My nephew was with me and had Verizon we were able to make the call, everything worked out fine. After that incident, I switched service to Verizon, haven't had a problem since, it's more expensive but out there on the lake reliable service is a must especially if you fish alone.
