I feel like in this instance that the "Non-Corporate Sprint Store" Is screwing themselves if they're telling people the closest tower is 35 minutes away.... :blink:

Yeah a bit, I had to go to a corporate store to swap to sprint anyways. Its alright though I've been passing out s4gru as the place to get info to everyone I meet/know who has or is wanting to possibly get Sprint. I even got a couple to go buy 4 n5's from the play store instead of Galaxy s4's that time I was In there. They needed the RF performance :P(were in a rural area so its a godsend in a lot of places).

If you remove the GMO sites, Sprint is pretty far along and certainly can be complete with Band 25 build out on Non GMO sites this year.  When you consider how long it took Tmo to do its backhaul upgr

Given Sprint's LTE maps knack for over statement of coverage, it will look more like this on Sprint maps:     Robert

I now have all four carriers. Sprint, Tmo, Verizon and AT&T. I can tell you that none of them are very good everywhere. Every one of them has places on their network that is pathetic. It's nice to

Actually no, we switched right after the new year(got a phone to test signal on the 31st and officially swapped on the 2nd). So we just missed out on the whole framily push. Kinda sad because it'd save us some money (we have two people with unlimited plans and one who has no data at all).

Or Even better yet...taking it out to fully support S4GRU! :tu:

 

Yes, I wouldn't reject a windfall payout from Sprint execs.  But they haven't given us a dime, unless it was incognito and not exceeded the cost of a Premier Sponsorship.  We have never to date received any single donation larger than $100, ever.

Who knows...with out a link or official release, all we can do is speculate... :wacko:

 

In my mind, when execs start selling stocks en masse, it's because there is a big shake up planned/foreseen or the stock is perceived to be at a high with no prospects to go higher in the near future.  But I am no market guru.

If they need to get the info (as an Executive) from here, then there is really a problem...

Both are possibilities. I would lean toward the latter. I certainly don't see the value of Sprint's stock rising in the near term.

Also, it depends on the amount they are divesting. Most executives recieve stock grants as part of their compensation, and thus can accumulate quite a pile of company stock if they don't periodically sell some of it to balance out their portfolio. I would only be concerned if they are divesting a significant share of their holdings (over 10%). To me that would mean they expect the stock won't be seeing any upside in the near future. If it's only a small percentage, then it's probably routine rebalancing.

I was going to check and see myself, but the reports aren't up on Yahoo Finance yet.

I've seen this with other companies - the stock has vested and now they are free to sell. I don't think this is bad news, just an opportunity to sell at today's prices and maybe diversify their investments with stocks from other sectors.

      Kind of amazing that T-Mobile is still holding onto that speed title despite Verizon all but killing off lowband 5G on their network. While Verizon is mostly being evaluated on mmWave and C-band performance, T-Mobile and AT&T's average 5G speeds include their massive lowband 5G networks that are significantly slower.

      Yup. Very true. We were originally on an Everything Data 1500 Plan, which got Unlimited Minutes thanks to Marcelo's "Loyalty Benefits" offer. We then switched to Unlimited Freedom (with the Free HD add-on that Sprint originally wanted $20/month per line for.... remember that?) because the pricing was better with "iPhone for Life", vs. the "Loyalty Credit" for staying on a Legacy Plan. After that, I ran the numbers and switched us over to Sprint MAX, especially for the international travel benefits. There's absolutely no reason for us to switch to Go5G Plus or Go5G Next if we're going to do BYOD by purchasing from Apple/Samsung/Google directly as we've been doing. These new plans aren't priced for current customers to switch to. They're priced for new customers, where they throw in a free line, etc. It's gone from "Uncarrier" to "Carrier". What a shame.

      Strange business model that they keep around all these pricing plans. 1000s of plans per carrier is reportedly not uncommon.  Training customer support must be a nightmare. Even MVNOs have legacy plans. A downside of their contract mentality I guess. Best to change contracts during a recession. But then all carriers try to squeeze out legacy plan benefits as they grow old.

      Everything "Uncarrier" is becoming "Carrier" again. Because of the Credit Limit that T-Mobile put on our account for no reason at all (and wouldn't change/update the last time I checked all the way up to the CEO), I don't plan on buying/upgrading our iPhones through T-Mobile. I'm going through Apple directly. Looks like I'll be going through Google and Samsung directly for our other lines for upgrades. Also, we're staying on Sprint Max given the ridiculous pricing for Go5G Plus. On Sprint Max, we currently pay for our Plan: $260 for 7 Voice Lines $25 for two Wearable Lines. (One is $10/Month. The other is $15/Month because the AutoPay discount only applies up to 8 lines.) Total: $285/Month vs. Go5G Plus (Per the Broadband Facts "nutrition label" on the T-Mobile Website): https://www.t-mobile.com/commerce/cell-phone-plans $360 - ($5 AutoPay Discount x 7 Voice Lines) = $325 The Watch Plans show as either $12/Month or $15/Month: https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans/affordable-data-plans/smartwatches So this is about the same for the wearables as what we're paying now. Overall, it's quite more than we're paying now to switch plans. Ridiculous....
