Many of these repeat posts were actually new threads started by people, and then they were merged into the appropriate thread.  But it still is funny.

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

I noticed that John Legere re-tweeted the above tweet from Masa Son which struck me as kind of odd. I guess sometimes a re-tweet is just a re-tweet. Or is there something more going on behind the scenes?  :secret:

And two tweets ago he tweeted this:

 

 

Not sure how this is news? Unless we’re talking about @sprint joining the 21st century with HD Voice. Late much? http://cnet.co/NU74Md 

 

 

So really...which way is he going with this? LOL

I think DT has basically told him to cool it with Sprint since they want a merger to happen.  But, sometimes the guy just can't help himself.

Yeah it does seem like he's a bit too caught up in this role that he's currently playing.

All his Sprint bashing tweets will just insure that he won't have a job when Sprint and T-Mobile merge!

I hope he runs the show - he seems to get stuff done. Something I think Mr Sun respects.

While I would not like to see him at Sprint he has been getting things done for T-Mobile. It will be interesting to see what happens.

I do agree that he does seem to get things done and he has a lot of talk, but I'm not sure about his attitude behind it. He seems real cocky.

Perhaps.

 

Interestingly, Son also addressed T-Mobile's recent "uncarrier" efforts in the market, and the carrier's recent resurgence in terms of new subscribers. He said T-Mobile's success is a short term phenomenon and that "we need a real fight, not a pseudo fight."

I can see why Son says that. With what I believe and I know others on this site believe is what T-Mobile is doing is only a short-term gain. It is making a dent in the market but nothing major that Son wants. But I also think Sprint can do much yet until the network is more completed.

The attitude gets him press and attention in an industry that is stagnant and really stuck in old ways of marketing and thinking. He also acts as a single face of the company which can make it seem more human and 'real' - I'm pretty sure it's all a big act, but it's good for business.

I think Robert needs a "vacation".

Yes I do! But not in the cards for awhile.

      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....
