common sense, since they each cover areas the other does not. combined,
it will be better than each alone.

nonsense.

sprint's coverage is better than verizon, according to actual surveys.

  While no carrier's perfect, all four of the major networks perform
  well throughout San Francisco. AT&T and Sprint's networks blanket 
  San Francisco, while Verizon and T-Mobile are only a few percentage
  points away. 

sprint in particular is in second place with a 99.98% coverage, whereas
verizon is *last* at 94.93%, behind t-mobile at 95.02%.

sprint does not have limited native coverage. far from it.
