I'm willing to bet, Marcelo is waiting to pull the trigger on all of those Uncarrier announcements. Unlike Dan Hesse, Marcelo wastes no time countering T-Mobile's moves. I'm willing to bet Sprint will be adding additional value to that $60 Unlimited plan at no cost like 2GB of tethering or something along those lines.

I am hoping for an iPhone deal.

Yeah...I think the iPhone has something to do with the T-Mobile move...day after the iPhone announcement.

 

Sprint is doing a great job of reacting VERY quickly. Marcelo is one to make quick decisions and get stuff done.

I don't blame Dan though, I think his "problem" was he focused on the big picture.

 

Whereas Marcelo is more concerned with the here and now, cause otherwise the big picture won't matter.

 

I'm impressed with both ceos.

Hum, $50 a month eh? With employer discounts that could be really a good step for Framily users and for competitiveness overall. For new Sprint users it would mean that 2 unlimited lines = 2 lines on the 20 GB tier which is fine by me. If that stays I will remain on Family Share until the promotion ends next December and then switch to 2 lines on unlimited to save money.

So is the new lease option shown for the 5c I assume?

 

Also can a customer add or open another "line" for this? I have a 2 line 20gb plan now. I'd eventually pay off my galaxy s5 easy pay and close that line but not right away. Hmmm this is an amazing offer.

Yeah just noticed that. Damn Marcelo did a bang up job. I can't see Johnny beating this deal, heck even just matching it.

 

Unless apple gave them the same deal.

Even if they did, Sprint beat them to the punch. This fight is getting interesting!

    • 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....
