Sprint coverage map
Is the sprint coverage map accurate? I want to switch to sprint because of the unlimited data plan but on the map I am close to the edge of the area? I don't want to sign up then find out I have to go 4 blocks away to use my phone! LOL! Any opinions about sprint from people who have used them?

Maybe give some free advice about: Cell Phones?
Keep in mind that carriers are constantly expanding their networks. Talk to a Sprint rep about who they contract with when people leave their coverage area. Verizon is also a CDMA network (like Sprint), which means that their phones can pick up the same type of signals (FYI, AT&T and T-Mobile use GSM, which is why you won't pick up their signals on a Sprint phone.).
If you know anybody with Sprint, just have them bring their phone to your house (or wherever you're concerned about not getting coverage) and you'll be able to see firsthand.
Sprint has had great customer service from my experiences with them (I worked as a 3rd party sales representative, in a way, for about a year.). I'd assume that their map is accurate (and is on the more generous side if biased at all).
On another note, most people don't actually need unlimited data. I was sad at first when I realized I was losing mine with Verizon, but then I used a data calculator (Verizon has a great one.) and realized that I use less than 1 GB of data per month…even though I'm ALWAYS on my iPhone. So, there's that to consider as well if you're worried about the coverage.
