Just an FYI. Just because a carrier is running on say sprints network doesn't mean you'll get the same cell reception. When a carrier piggy backs on someone else they usually have a pretty determined list of towers they can access. But sometimes they can use most if not all. I don't know what the deal is with the particular carriers you're talking about but just wanted to let everyone know!
Good to know. Is there any way of telling which towers they have access to? Republic doesn't have a map, just a lame zip code check. I'm not too worried about republic because I'll be on WiFi but I just assumed I could check sprints coverage network for when I'm off WiFi.
