My company phone is AT&T and I rarely use it when I'm out and about In a major city. Sprint has come *that* far...

Apparently Marcelo threw a big party at his house over the weekend for executives (and their families) who relocated to Kansas City to work for Sprint.

Some interesting interviews. Nice house too!

That's the site on the Massey Building. I almost always get bumped up to Clear B41 there almost right away, so no surprise that B25 is clear.

What's amazed me more was that I actually happened to be in the basement of a building, when my phone pulled in that great signal.

Read the numbers, but I don't know why they keep that 1.1 billions 2.5ghz equipments credit. I don't understand why they haven't used it. For the last 4 quarters they have been reporting it.

Over $550 million of year-over-year reduction in cost of service and selling, general, and administrative expenses

 

--> That's a substantial chunk of money.

 

LTE Plus Network now available in 237 markets

 

--> Good!

 

2.5GHz spectrum now carries more of Sprint’s LTE traffic than any other spectrum band

 

--> Good metric. Sprint has to keep seeding the userbase with 2xCA/3xCA devices.

The Investor Update has some good info:

 

Tri-band LTE phones represented 73 percent of the 25.3 million ending postpaid phone connection base compared to 46 percent at the end of the year-ago quarter and 69 percent at the end of the prior quarter. During the quarter, 91 percent of postpaid phones sold were tri-band.

 

So 27% of the postpaid device base is still on non-triband LTE devices (Single/Dual LTE Band). That's still a substantial number.

 

Smartphones represented 93 percent of the ending postpaid phone connection base compared to 89 percent at the end of the year-ago quarter and 92 percent at the end of the prior quarter. During the quarter, 97 percent of postpaid phones sold were smartphones.

 

Seems to be the way the market is going.

 

Carrier aggregation capable phones, which allow for higher data speeds, were 74 percent of postpaid phones sold during the quarter, increasing the number of these phones within the phone base to 35 percent.

 

In the prior quarter (Q415) Investor Update (See Page 5) : "Carrier aggregation capable phones, which allow for higher data speeds, were 74 percent of postpaid phones sold during the quarter, increasing the number of these phones within the phone base to 28 percent."

 

So there's definitely growth here vs. last quarter, but quite a way to go!

Marcelo just said during the call:

 

 

So, when we talk about churn, we just reported our lowest ever postpaid phone churn of 1.39%, which was down 10 basis points year-over-year. We don't anticipate any changes. We're putting a lot of our energy towards keeping our customers happy. But I think the most remarkable part is the network experience that our customers are getting. You can see, I mean, churn is the voice of the customer, whether they're satisfied for the value they're getting and the quality of the product, and it's been, I think, six consecutive quarters in which we continued to drive churn down in pretty much in, I'd say, relation to the company's performance, many times it's record churn. So we feel very good as it relates to churn.

 

Obviously, the best way to grow is by keeping your customers. So last quarter was a good quarter in terms of that we're able to increase our gross adds, while at the same time lowering churn. So that way you get a ripple effect, and we expect that to continue.

If I just heard correctly, John Saw just said that Sprint will have a total of Five 3xCA capable devices....

 

Two are on the market now (S7/S7 Edge).... and three more are on the way.

 

I'll bet one of them is the iPhone 7.

Don't say that because I was planning on sticking with my iPhone 6s Plus.

I heard 5 in the market already, I have a feeling there are a couple of devices that support 3XCA that are not on our radar.

I could have sworn he was referring to devices that weren't released yet.

 

We'll have to see the transcript when it's posted at Sprint's Investor's Site.

Dr John Saw also mentioned next few months 3XCA.  We maybe see something in fall?

Nice! I have a 3xCA device and can't wait!

 

 

And It didn't take long for the stock to go over $5 again.   Short sellers need a lot of motivation after this quarter.
