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.

      Official Tmobile-Sprint merger discussion thread

      By dkyeager · Posted

      I think the push for them is adding US Mobile as a MVNO with a priority data plan.  Ultimately, making people more aware of priority would allow them (and other carriers) to differentiate themselves from MVNOs like Consumer Cellular that advertise the same coverage. n77 has dramatically reduced the need for priority service at Verizon where the mere functioning of your phone was in jeopardy a couple of years ago if you had a low priority plan like Red Pocket. Only have heard of problems with T-Mobile in parts of Los Angeles. AT&T fell in between. All had issues at large concerts and festivals, or sporting events if your carrier has no on-site rights. Edit: Dishes native 5g network has different issues: not enough sites, limited bandwidth. Higher priority would help a few. Truth is they can push phones to AT&T or T-Mobile.

      Tracfone AT&T sims went from QCI 8 to 9 as well a couple years ago. I'm pretty neutral towards AT&T's turbo feature here, the only bad taste left was for those who had unadvertised QCI 7 a couple months ago moved down to 8. In my eyes it would have been a lot better for AT&T to include turbo in those Premium/Elite plans for free to keep them at QCI 7, while also introducing this turbo add on option for any other plans or devices. As it stands now only a handful of plans can add it, and only if you're using a device on a random list of devices AT&T considers to be 5G smartphones.

      My Red Pocket AT&T GSMA account was dropped to QCI 9 about a year ago.  Most recently 8 for the last few years prior.  Voice remains at 5.

      https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2024/05/att-announces-7-monthly-add-on-fee-for-turbo-5g-speeds/ Hopefully we don't ever see T-Mobile do something like this. Based on how I was treated with my Credit Limit, it's definitely not the same company it was before the merger, and it's entirely possible they'd try it.
