Lots of talk about Verizon; now T-Mobile. has anybody used Sprint? We have Sprint cell and unlimmited use on Sprint mobile broadband. We were told that the Sprint roaming in Canada is 59 cents a minute unless you contract for minutes at $2.99 per month and then 20 cents a minute. That sounded pretty good to us. Any thoughts; anybody use this?
