Why are sprint's roaming allotments so generous?

A lot of it was old Altell coverage. When Verizon purchased those sites, the agreements followed over.

AT&T also got a part of Alltel.

 

They're planning on sunsetting that network this July.

Roaming coverage is going to get very expensive when those networks go, along with MetroPCS when they finally shut off those CDMA Sites too...(Still active here in South Fla as of last week I seen). Verizon is no cheap date for roaming.

(For those who don't know, Marcelo's tweet expresses condolences for Andy Butler, a Sprint employee who was one of seven people killed early Tuesday morning when their plane crashed near the Bloomington, IL, airport while returning home from the NCAA Championship game. A sad event.)

Supposedly throttled at 2G speeds; specific country list:

  • Argentina
  • Brazil
  • Chile
  • Costa Rica
  • El Salvador
  • Germany
  • Guatemala
  • Japan
  • Mexico
  • Nicaragua
  • Panama
  • Russia
  • South Korea
  • Spain
  • United Kingdom

Hopefully they can broaden the coverage (*cough* Canada) and make this option available on all unlimited plans.

 

I am liking that Sprint is trying to compete with Tmobile in offering free international data roaming as part of a perk on its cell phone plans.  Hopefully Sprint over time can add more countries to the list all over the world.

 

 

Sure but gotta admit, not having Canada while having Guatemala is an absolute joke.

How dare Sprint not include "America's Hat"

 

 

A testdrive program like TMO's - but longer - would be a good boost to sprint's fortunes.

 

The non tech crowd believe sprint sucks so no way will they transfer their number to test sprint but a "burner" phobe num with zero cost?

Why not?

That could almost be sprint's slogan.

I agree that Sprint needs a "test drive" program to get people to try Sprint service without the strings attached.  It could be for the iPhone or the Galaxy S6.  If the test drive was just for the iPhone, they mind as well do it and take full advantage of that 20 billion dollar deal they made with Apple 4 years ago.

I like it and agree, this would have never happened under the old guard and had it happened, it would have been months before anything changed in these stores. #notthesameoldsprint

wow, they actually had the fastest median download speed there! it looks like if they had just done better at call performance they would have actually gotten first in Denver O_O

I was in Denver 2 weeks ago, and I was impressed with their speeds. (Pulled my fastest B41 speedtest there, too @ 78mbps.)

Still, I'm liking that Sprint is finally making progress.  Just added another bulletpoint to my list of Sprint's new management doing things right.

When I added the new International value roaming to my account I noticed that in the list of options there were other choices that you could check to "enable international data" for example. Do you have to pick those options too or does simply selecting this new international value option trump those other settings?

    • 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.
    • 5G in the U.S. – Additional Mid-band Spectrum Driving Performance Gains T-Mobile holds on to it's lead in 5G Speed
    • 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....
