ugh that pop up ad on that second link pissed me off. had to wait till the end to get rid of it. Anyway, I think Sprint should have given the guy 2 years of free service for being honest about getting the credits.

Good news day for Sprint,

 

http://triblive.com/local/westmoreland/12498472-74/westmoreland-leaders-go-with-sprint-for-cell-service

 

I guess their 1% claim isn't that far fetched..

That is pretty embarrassing for T-Mobile! I wonder if John Legere will respond to this. Although he isn't really even pretending to care much anymore, and alot of former magentans have stopped being such fans of his he never really ever deserved in the first place no matter how "cool" he pretended to be. Also, if Sprint does get a deal done with Comcast and Charter, that ought to put them in a better situation to get more business customers.

I doubt there will be a response, unless this is picked up by larger media outlets. The number of people who see that article is probably pretty tiny.

For those that complain Sprint doesn't do enough for current subs,

 

This is a nice perk for non unlimited plan subs...

But what happens at the end of the six months, price increase?

Wow, that's a cool way to say thanks. Is there a catch? There doesnt seem to be anything in the fine print

I really like that Love Sprint logo on that page.

 

I think it would be great for Sprint to market itself as the "Friendly Carrier", which I think Sprint already is showing some strong signs of doing. I went into explaining some stuff relating to this in my latest post in the T-Mobile thread. I'm definitely intrigued by the possibility Sprint could be in this direction, especially considering their one year free offer, now this also.

 

I think this is a great thing Sprint is doing, and hopefully they continue.

I had my sister try her phone number as they are on a family plan and it said the number didn't qualify for the promo. :-(

So I’ve got a quick Sprint question that I’m hoping someone can answer for me.

 

Why is it that Sprint is incapable of paying equipment charges with a negative balance on our account? We have nearly 2000 dollars worth of credit on our account and yet every month we have a notice that our bill is “past due” because they don’t deduct equipment charges from your account balance. I just don’t understand why we still need to go on to the website and make a payment when we have so much credit on the account.

Because credits does not equal real money. Equipment charges need to be paid with real money since Apple or Samsung need to be paid with real money and not Sprint credits.

Credits will do fine...credits will do fine...

maybe i dont understand the situation but wouldnt they just subtract any and all bills from the credit balance and keep doing so until there is no longer a credit balance left on the account?

Around 1200 dollars worth of the credits is credit from Sprint that is supposed to be for the devices. We took advantage of the trade in an iPhone 6 or newer towards an iPhone 7 promo back in September and Sprint couldn’t figure out how to apply our monthly bill credits for the device payments so they just credited us the whole amount of the devices.

 

I understand that we can just make our usual monthly payment, minus the equipment fees, and we wouldn’t have a problem, but it just seems weird that we still have to physically pay when there’s such a large available balance.

That sounds very bass-ackwards.  Why not just request a credit balance refund for the amount on your account?

    • If so, I'm wanting to see if any others of you have been having intermittent internet issues.   The last week or two, internet just seems to intermittently stop/pause for various periods of time....when the halt/pause lets up throughput will seem normal/very snappy as you'd expect on a 1 Gig line, until its not again.  My desk with both personal PC and work laptop are in our basement with a Cat 6 run straight from the Verizon router.  I've mostly noted it when trying to go through and clean out mail from my hotmail account I've had a few decades now (to be clear off that mention, I don't have decades worth of mail pending ha - like 100-200 unreads max if that each time I go through them), but I know its not something relegated to only the outlook.live.com endpoint because I check other tabs/sites when the issues crop up and they're hanging/spinning too. I've not yet tried calling VZ tech support and wanted to check/poll for others here to see if anyone using the service might have been wrestling with similar issues.   Addendum:  Both the ONT box (in our living room, not outside) and the white standup VZ router have been cycled before a couple times.  Have also tried changing between ethernet ports on the back for the Cat 6 cable with no change over long term behavior.
    • Same here, haven't had a single issue with RCS
    • 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.
