I have to tell you all I am near tears right now.  I am so stoked that Marcelo listened to us, directly.  I am sure he listened to all the feedback he heard.  But I believe S4GRU was influential in th

Maybe he's outside of the city limits. He'll tweet as soon as he's back in town with a data connection.

Click on the spark (box) and it seems like it's a new web site design. Very old MS metro looking. Unless that's what always happened at that link.

 

I like it I think.

Just a thought though. I'm trying to sign in and it won't let me. Maybe they're adding the ability to add the unlimited plans/change to them instead of having to chat. That would be nice.

That's actually my biggest issue, the need to toggle airplane mode through out the day....

 

Absolutely no need for it imho. :-)

Not only to toggle back LTE but a lot of times I had to toggle the airplane mode to even get the data working in certain area.

This is an interesting tactic to go after a growth demographic:

This is potentially a really big deal here in Texas if Sprint can get the word out enough. A lot of families I know have an AT&T plan etc for their iPhones and then a cheapo flip phone + calling card for their calls to relatives in Mexico. I'm sure they would consider changing carriers to 1) save money and 2) save complication

While I like that Sprint is doing this at a fast break speed, I actually do not like the name. It makes it look like its only geared to Mexico. Why not call it America Connected and More Plan or Connected Americas & More plan since its basically quite a few countries in North, Central and South America.

I'm assuming it's because Mexico is the biggest country out of the bunch? Or maybe it's geared towards certain markets? Or maybe they couldn't think of anything better? Who knows. 

 

Not sure how well it will work here in NJ to add subs. There are a ton of Guatemalans here but from what I can tell they already tend to use Sprint mostly through Boost.

Did anyone see Marcelos retweet about 500 mins to Latin america through 2015?

I guess it was announced Friday? I totally missed that.

The link to the press release was posted in this thread the other day. The 500 free minutes are only for new customers (and only through 2015). It's a $5/month add-on for existing customers (and for everyone after 2015).

Even at $5/mo, it's still waaaaaaaaaaay cheaper than the other carriers to call Latin America.

Yeah, I wasn't saying $5/month isn't a good deal. I was just clarifying it for TheCUJuan because the retweet he referred to just said 500 free minutes and I didn't know if he saw the press release to know it only applied for new customers.

He's already commented. At least these lay offs come with a decent severance package and opportunities for different job positions. If I remember correctly, these guys aren't just thrown on the street with a good bye check. Sprint helps them find new jobs.

Just to be clear this isn't exactly "new" news. These are the same cuts that were reported at the end of last week.

He'd be on to something if the old bonehead management team wasn't already laid off.

When you say "he" are you referring to "S. Ali"?  If so, that is as predictable as the changing tides, though not quite as interesting to bear witness to.

      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....
