Really hard to believe all the negativity. My Verizon S6 has been absolutely flawless. Consistently getting 4+ hours of SoT, flawless call quality, smooth as butter and no gremlins of any kind. With all due respect to the OP and others claiming endless problems my strong suspicion is a combination of user error/ignorance and carrier related issues having nothing whatsoever to do with the phone itself.

I'm just glad I bailed on Sprints S6 and went back to my S4. After reading further into this thread I may be bailing on Sprint all together, this after being a customer for almost 9 years. I have to crunch some numbers, I have three phones to move to a new carrier. Sprint cost me $160 total for the 3 with unlimited text and data and 1500 minutes we never come close too.

Jeez, sorry....didn't mean to get your panties in a twist. All I'm saying is that if you speak to any tech repair person (s)he'll tell you that 95% of all reported "problems" are, in fact, user error and/or ignorance of the piece of technology in question.Your opinion. Period. Been using galaxy phones since the S2 and countless other flagships from other vendors since the HTC touch Pro so it's far from user error.
You're right about it not just being the phone, it's a combination of phone and the network. Unless you know exactly how spark works on sprint and how it's affecting our phones, don't call people ignorant.
And just because you have no issues doesn't mean others are.

i recommend AT&T. LTE map coverage/ubiquity is night and day vs. Sprint. and with AT&T you can BYOD any compatible GSM device. freedom and choice.
Nexus 5 + AT&T GoPhone
I would move to AT&T as well but their devices are CDMA and not GSM. Unfortunately, I am sure the ETF is pretty steep especially with multiple lines. If AT&T would pay the ETF, then I say, switch. TMO runs promotions every once in a while advertising the ETF reimbursement or pay if you switch.

Most phones (like Verizon's phones) have GSM radios as well -- and Verizon phones are unlocked automatically right out of the gate.
but i don't think Verizon allows BYOD. that is evil IMO. i want complete choice and freedom.

Then I guess that ETF is the only real issue? If it is not and radios are not an issue, switch.
He was talking about them going to AT&T saying they couldn't (from Verizon) or such couldn't due to CDMA phones -- which isn't the case.
but OP has Sprint GS4s which i don't believe have a 3G GSM radio. Verizon is not relevant.
