Just posted this same thing in the Galasy s6 thread.  What isn't exactly clear is whether the offer is only for those that sign up for this specific plan.  I would take this in a heartbeat if they offered it on framily plan lines, but I doubt it.  

 

Seems pretty clear that it's only for those new plans, not just a general "free" phone offer. This really is just a play with numbers. Regular unlimited plan is $60, plus $20 phone lease. Or get an $80 unlimited plan with added perks of annual upgrade and free data roaming in 15 countries.

 

If you are on the cheapest Framily plan ($25/line), with unlimited data, it's still slightly cheaper to just lease the Galaxy S6 than get the new plan at $80.

On the surface it's great that Sprint is offering more options, but I'd prefer simpler plans.  I don't want to recommend Sprint to someone and have them ask me why is there unlimited for $50 with iphone, another $60 unlimited plan, and this super duper unlimited for $80.

I'm sure it is. But I'm greedy. I want the free lease too.

The $80 for unlimited with annual upgrades is actually a pretty good deal if you think about it. Already includes the cost of the device, and it's an annual lease, which is not bad at all.

"Sprint’s median download speed increased from 2.3 Mbps to 12.5 Mbps, and Sprint’s median upload speed increased from 1.6 Mbps to 6.3 Mbps."

 

Wow.

It's 20GBP (about 30$) for unlimited data for 1 month.  Got the Sim card on arrival at heathrow.  It's awesome, I used 13.4 gig of 3G data with my S5 in the 9 days I was in the UK for work and vacation.  By the way tethering does work up to 1 device though.

    • A heavy n41 overlay as an acquisition condition would be a win for customers, and eventually a win for T-Mobile as that might be enough to preclude VZW/AT&T adding C-Band for FWA due to spreading the market too thinly (which means T-Mobile would just have local WISPs/wireline ISPs as competition). USCC spacing (which is likely for contiguous 700 MHz LTE coverage in rural areas) isn't going to be enough for contiguous n41 anyway, and I doubt they'll densify enough to get there.
    • Boost Infinite with a rainbow SIM (you can get it SIM-only) is the cheapest way, at $25/mo, to my knowledge; the cheaper Boost Mobile plans don't run on Dish native. Check Phonescoop for n70 support on a given phone; the Moto G 5G from last year may be the cheapest unlocked phone with n70 though data speeds aren't as good as something with an X70 or better modem.
    • Continuing the USCC discussion, if T-Mobile does a full equipment swap at all of USCC's sites, which they probably will for vendor consistency, and if they include 2.5 on all of those sites, which they probably will as they definitely have economies of scale on the base stations, that'll represent a massive capacity increase in those areas over what USCC had, and maybe a coverage increase since n71 will get deployed everywhere and B71 will get deployed any time T-Mobile has at least 25x25, and maybe where they have 20x20. Assuming this deal goes through (I'm betting it does), I figure I'll see contiguous coverage in the area of southern IL where I was attempting to roam on USCC the last time I was there, though it might be late next year before that switchover happens.
    • Forgot to post this, but a few weeks ago I got to visit these small cells myself! They're spread around Grant park and the surrounding areas, but unfortunately none of the mmwave cells made it outside of the parks along the lake into the rest of downtown. I did spot some n41 small cells around downtown, but they seemed to be older deployments limited to 100mhz and performed poorly.    
    • What is the cheapest way to try Dish's wireless network?  Over the past year I've seen them add their equipment to just about every cell site here, I'm assuming just go through Boost's website?  What phones are Dish native?
