uh60james Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Ouch! 1GB of data on a smartphone $90! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fraydog Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 USCC is a trainwreck. Lots of issues with the billing system being talked about at TeamUSCC. Seems as if they're preparing for the big sale. Hope it's Sprint and not AT&T if that's the case. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swintec Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 those prices are rough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rawvega Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 I think USCC is going to find out that only at&t and VZW can get away with that type of pricing scheme. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickel Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 You aren't going to get many takers with those kind of prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnoj Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 The well-reasoned consensus is that those prices are horrible. Now the question is whether they are hurting for cash and desperate, greedy and aiming for a buyout, or just dumb. USCC used to lead the industry in several metrics, and I was very happy to have once been their customer. Sadly, now they are just copying Verizon without the (data) network to back it up. I will be curious to see the state of that network after they've activated a few iPhones. Hope it's Sprint and not AT&T if that's the case. More importantly, when the sale comes, let's hope Sprint is willing to invest what it takes to bring all non-redundant towers up to NV status and doesn't just grab the spectrum and shut them down a la Nextel. There are a few places where they remain the only carrier with reliable coverage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soulgrnd Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Positioning yourself to match pricing / practices of the companies that would be looking to buy you out.. makes a lot of sense. Might already be a deal in the works with VZ or ATT.... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffDTD Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Cspire pulled this move awhile bank, yanking unlimited in favor of shared data priced identical to verizon. That lasted less than 1 year. Customers stonewalled the plans and they brought unlimited back at higher price points. Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmoses Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 just throwing a little price comparison out there...... i currently have 9 lines on my account, 4 on the 1500 minute everything data plan and 5 on the 3000 minute everything data plan. taking taxes, fees, and discounts out of the equation that costs us $489.93/mo or $54.45/line/mo. these new USCC plans, with 10 gig of shared data for those 9 lines would be $460/mo or $51.11/line/mo. (verizon would be the same price) For comparison the new sprint plans would be $510/mo or $56.67/line/mo. so if you have a lot of smart phones but don't need a lot of data i guess they aren't too bad. me personally, for ~$5 more per month i would rather have the unlimited option Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mondays In Flames Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 That's ridiculously expensive. I don't see anyone in their right mind actually buying into these plans. -Luis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
