Wait? Sprint has Carry Over Data now?

Did I miss something?

It'd be nice for sprint to actually lead more instead of follow.

They over carry over data for ATT CYBIH customers

Oh ok. That makes sense I guess. I don't really care about data carryover, I just saw that and was wondering which plans have that.

 

Sprint really needs to modify their lower tier Family Share pack pricing. If you don't need 12GB or more of data, it's overpriced.

[Mercurial1]

Not true. Devices on sprint are unlocked after three months whether unpaid or undercontract. On Att a device undercontract will not be unlock unless the contract is fulfilled, so it is easier to get a phone unlocked with installments. As far as resell it doesn't matter at all.

It does matter for resale. If a device being financed is removed from your account then the remaining payments are supposed to come due immediately.

This is VERY important. Just go to Gazelle and see how much a Sprint iPhone6 is worth vs. a Verizon iPhone6.

This is also not true. I currently finance an iPhone and used an HTC. When I switch the phone online it always pops up with a warning that that will happen but it doesn't. I have confirmed with sprint that you can use whatever phone you want.

The policy says it will. That doesn't mean it will actually happen in practice

It doesn't and sprint will tell you it won't.

In my experience as long as the phone number is active the lease/financing will continue. The second the line is canceled thats when they bill you the balance.

I know people that did transfers of liability with a financed device and the payments came up due immediately. Maybe the device being activated on another account is the trigger or just something in the billing system when a transfer is done.

If the line is transfered then it is no longer active on the account. Which triggers it becoming due.

Nice. I was wondering when Raleigh was gonna get launched. Nearly every other tower had 8T8Rs last time I was up in Cary, and that was in October.

YAY! It's official! 

 

Appleton has come soooo far! Now if they can finish the couple straggler towers, it'll be perfect.

Official launch of these markets is tomorrow.

 

Interesting quote: "Saw said that in late February Sprint Spark network should be coming online in Atlanta, Boston, Las Vegas, Nashville, Portland, San Francisco, San Jose, and Washington, D.C."

[dnicekid]

Here in Springfield,mass we have b41.. Its nice but only a few towers hit 40+ most are 20-35

But, the coverage is ok... U have to be within about a mile or less of  tower. 

[MarshieZ]

I think I jinxed my post... a good chunk of Wisconsin has a total service blackout according to downdetector.com...

 

Going on 4 hours now of roaming! 

 

 

 

Edit: A quick message to Sprint on Facebook actually helped... they didn't realize the tower here was having an issue... about 1/2 hour later... boom. Back up and running. And they even messaged me to even ask if I had service.

 

THAT is good customer service. Go Sprint!

Not sure about that website..  All 4 major carriers have about the same outage reports over that last 24 hrs.

Of course this is all John Legere cares about. He wants to be #3 so bad.

Well good for him and T-Mobile. They worked hard for it so I say let them have it. BUT since they are "Switching position" T-Mobile now falls out the underdog status so if you want to play with the big dog no more crying about things being unfair...put your money on the table. 

 

I never knew being number 3 was so important. It don't change much besides people won't feel sorry for you and your hardships your carrier is facing.

Funny. I thought Best Buy sells T-Mobile products. According to this ad, they don't count T-Mobile among the national carriers.

Probably cause their systems can't do EIP.

Is Best Buy significant anymore? Serious question. I can't sit here and think of anything else other than "Best Buy is in trouble." People rag on Sprint's financials right now, but I would say Best Buy is in a FAR deeper hole than Sprint at the current time.

I was in Office Depot, buying a whiteboard, and seeing how empty it was I thought, "Man it sure would make sense for amazon to buy it".

I know it's just one example. However, I was in Sioux Falls last weekend and went into the first Best Buy Mobile store I've visited in person. It is decoupled from the local full service Best Buy store and in a separate location inside the Empire Mall. The place was packed. Much busier than my local Best Buy mobile department.

 

I'm sure this means absolutely nothing. However, I was surprised by its popularity.
