They are the only carrier to offer deep Google Voice integration.
Unfortunately and not surprising there are many issues with Sprint's GV on iPhone. If you want to use Siri to send text messages you have to use iMessage and there is now way to get your Google Voice text messages integrated with iMessage. Many Sprint iPhone GV users have noted the call quality is lacking, as there is a delay. Also, when you go to a Sprint store (since it's a new thing) they have no information. One rep advised that I port my Google Voice # out, in which I did and after doing so realized that was mis-information (lost my GV #).
I will miss GV, especially the SMS service in the cloud. Though I am curious to hear other readers experience. Are you using Google Voice on Sprint with your iPhone? How is it working out for you?
Why was this downvoted? I found it very informative and interesting - personally, I can't wait for GV to be a native option on the iPhone 4S w/ Verizon, though that'll never happen.
I hope I'm not out of line here, but that sounds like an iOS issue and not a Google Voice one. I mean, Sprint should have thought that through... not sure what they were thinking period there, Apple and Google aren't exactly at their high point in terms of their relationship.
