I can't believe they keep people on those plans... I've always been forced to upgrade plans when I upgraded phones. It's not like they are making much off those plans.

 

I'd kill for one of those plans.. I wonder how much longer they'll last.

Since Sprint tiered the plans to allow the uprated devices, I think they will be around for a while. If your in the right circumstance there's no reason to get rid of it. I'm like you, if I could I would get one and happily pay $50/month.

This is my understanding. It went round and round in forums when the iPhone came out. I took a lot of heat from iPhoniacs when I told them that Sprint was going to charge 50 to SERO members for the iOS privellege.

 

Some of those SERO people can be downright crazy. I was told I was jealous' date=' I was told I was stupid, I was told that I should shut up.

 

In the end, I was right. And that was deeply satisfying.

You can see the plans are roughly set based on subsidy and other costs. Even though the iPhone is 3G only (no payment to Clear) the subsidy demands a $50 MRC.

 

If the iPhone was Wimax-capable, you can bet the MRC would be more than $50 or not available on SERO at all.

 

 

I'd kill for one of those plans.. I wonder how much longer they'll last.

 

Only until Sprint becomes successful.

      Network Vision/LTE - New York City Market

      By Paynefanbro · Posted

      Was in Red Hook again and I swear there are more Link5G sites as there are Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T small cells combined in the entire neighborhood. It seemed like every other street I turned down had one installed. Hopefully carriers will start hopping on them soon. Seems like a lot of effort to go through for no one to use them.  — — — — — T-Mobile converted the Sprint site on top of NYU Langone Brooklyn in Sunset Park. I first mapped one sector of it back in November 2023 but I thought it was a small cell so I never pinned it but I ran into another sector today which caught me off guard. I'm unable to find a permit for the conversion so it's definitely a surprise. There's another T-Mobile site 1 block away that T-Mobile initially installed back in 2019 so I'm kinda surprised they're keeping both considering the Sprint conversion is on a much taller building and coule potentially provide much better coverage to the entire area.

      Came across another Crown Castle Solutions multi-tenant oDAS node in Brooklyn. Located at 40.7002286, -73.9612666. Nothing on T-Mobile or AT&T so I'm assuming these are all Verizon nodes that Crown Castle is anticipating another carrier will hop on down the line.
