My employeer wants to switch my service from VZW to Sprint here in the
Finger Lakes region of upstate NY. I'm amazed by the coverage they
show for Sprint in this area, but it does indicate roaming. So, is
Sprint roaming on VZW?

Any chance of me taking my e815 over to Sprint?

Thanks

Jeff

I'd try to convince your employer to stay with VZW.
Last I knew, VZW was dropping Sprint, but maybe not the reverse, as a
roaming
partner in many areas of the US. Last VZW PRL breakdown
I saw didn't have much Sprint on it.

Where are you in the region?

Additional to my reply.

Looking at the coverage map, You should have Sprint coverage along I-90 (NYS
Thruway)
as well as the major interstates. 390, 490 and 590. Also coverage in the
MAJOR Upstate
cities, Buffalo, Rochester and Syracuse. Looks like coverage also out side
of the mentioned
cities for 15 to 20 miles.

I still say keep VZW.
