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.

Looks like I struck a nerve with Legere...LOL

He used that screenshot of your tweet multiple times. Looks like he can't find anything worse to hold against Sprint. LOL

I am beginning to think he's really overreaching. If Legere keeps his mouth shut and doesn't run the Kardashian ad they win this round.

 

This is a family fight, guys. Claure was on SoftBank's board before taking Sprint and Legere ran Global Crossing Asia for Son. Funny the one person associated with Sprint he has never bashed is the chairman. Go figure.

Sprint shpuld advertise their WiFi calling more actually. I thought that TM ad was a good one.

It was a good ad. The Riggle one was good too. I am just over Johnny Twitter. That's all. If Marcelo ran T-Mobile and Legere ran Sprint I'd feel the same.

The iPhone does support it. With TMO iPhones 6 you can go from wifi to volte seamlessly.

I meant to say Sprint WiFi calling. Sprint's currently not advertising it because they'd have a bunch of iPhone users complaining that it's not available on their phones. I'm sure there'll be a couple commercials about it once an update enables it on the iPhone 6.

Meh, it seems like it was a copy of some other ad campaign though I can't quite put my finger on it at the moment.

Is that the current behavior with Sprint WiFi Calling on android? It just drops when you lose the wifi connection?

Haha...I made a Recode.net article.

And thanks to Legere...I'm still getting retweets and favorites.

 

Keep an image of Legere's reply up somewhere because he deleted it.

Not to be biased but the T-Mobile SB with Kim was a total lackluster.

I guess with T-Mobile using Kim was just a marking ploy to get more people to switch over. I guess the switching to T-Mobile might be slowing down some. They figure if they get someone who is popular among younger people like Kim and have her star in a T-Mobile tv spot, that it will give the impression she also uses T-Mobile(which I highly doubt) and her fans will follow. Because Kim uses it then it must be good.

I'm pretty sure that she uses AT&T. At least that's what their phones used to say on Keeping Up With the Kardashians.

I think that T-Mobile can't get a lot more customers unless they expand coverage. I'd classify their service as "Ecstasy and Agony." Where it works it's great, where it doesn't it's an absolute fail. Customers see this and their churn rates really haven't dropped. They just managed to get more people coming in with deals that are structured differently than what people are used to. The other problem I have is that T-Mobile isn't really that cheaper than the duopoly. I did a spreadsheet with device financing for the four carriers for a Galaxy Note 4 that put their service cost at $91.24 a month before taxes and fees where AT&T came in at $99.42 a month. That's not such a great gap. Verizon was of course the most expensive at $114.16 but they can charge that because they have the largest and fastest data network, and they're starting to pull away from T-Mobile on data speeds a little bit on NetIndex. 

 

Sprint was the cheapest at $85.24 and that's for EasyPay and not leasing which is cheaper.

 

Rural customers don't want to pay $91.24 for EDGE (and I'm not speaking of Verizon's financing program).

Oh wow I didn't know T-Mobile wasn't that far off from AT&T with price. For all that I would just go with AT&T not unless I felt that I needed unlimited data. If you add in a employee discount then it'll be even cheaper.

The plan part of the breakdown was $65 on MSV for a 3GB plan vs $60 for T-Mo's similar 3GB plan. T-Mo has no overages and better data roll over but less coverage. Granted, where it works great it's a steal, but it's not like the gap was back in the VoiceStream/Get More days.

Hmm since you compared them with similar plans, in my eyes T-Mobile is no different besides a few extra perks and a smaller coverage map. But it boils down to needs and wants and persuasive marketing

I would have to research if TMUS even offers the state of IL discount. I get that right now on VZW.

 

Edit: it appears it is offered to the University of Illinois, so yes.

      Network Vision/LTE - Northern Jersey Market

      By Paynefanbro · Posted

      Mapped two n41 small cell sin Jersey City today. They're the first two to be mapped there in Jersey City as far as I can tell and interestingly they're consecutive gNBs, possibly indicating they were installed around the same time. gNB 1088335 appears to be an upgrade of an older small cell. It looks identical to the T-Mobile n41 small cell I mapped earlier this year in Old Westbury.   I also mapped gNB 1088334 in Newport. This small cell appears to be a new build as I couldn't find any evidence of an older small cell in that area. Unfortunately no pic of it since I didn't even notice that I mapped it until I got home and I can't find it in Streetview.

      Someone told me a couple years ago, that there were problems getting certain modems to aggregate overlapping spectrum even if the overlapping parts were actually blanked. So I think there might be firmware issues that need to be resolved first, which T-Mobile might not consider worth the effort for 4MHz at this time.

      Tbh not that surprising. Every ISP seems to want to have an MVNO to pitch to their customers to make them stickier and maybe make some money in the process. And unlike USCC the MVNO should be able to cover TDS's entire wireline area, with infrastructure costs that are borne by someone else. Entertaining, yes. Surprising, not really...particularly when competing against Comcast or Spectrum, or even eventually T-Mobile fixed + mobile. This also strengthens my bet that they'll rebrand all their fixed wireless stuff as TDS, as that runs on spectrum they're keeping for now.

      No? RCS on Google messages works great for me, messages between anyone with RCS enabled go through with no problems. Don't remember the last time I had an issue. I only have issues with people on iPhones on different carriers from T-Mobile.

      Has anyone experienced a ridiculous amount of difficulty with Google messages with RCS enabled?  It has been a train wreck for me for the past year so I now use WhatsApp.  That works very well for all of us.... Android and iOS.
