I hope they keep framily but as an option. I like the idea of group savings and separate billing.

 

However leading with Framily was a bad idea.

 

Excited to see what the new plans are and I'm sure they will be announced at the Take EDGE off event

Good points, but I could have swore I read something similar from Robert previously.

 

Very good advice, I hope that Sprint takes it!

I read that Claure is giving out his email to employees so they can contact him. I eventually see this leaking into the general population. Maybe Robert can send is ideas to Claure directly.   :idea2:

 

Along with new plans, we still have the "Take the Edge Off" event on Tuesday.

I thought that as well at first with the training on Monday, but most likely it won't be. I do wonder if Claure will show up though to that event.

 

i wouldn't be surprised if they just drop the recruiting stuff and everybody goes to $25 a month with the options for $10 for 3 GB and $20 for unlimited. 

I have a feeling of that as well. $25 across the board. But is that sustainable in the long run? Either way, it will probably be geared to bringing in new customers and as usual the old timers that have stuck with the network through thick and thin are out of most new deals. Regardless it will be a very interesting week coming.

 

Go Sprint.

Go Sprint.

If you market it as a LA carte..

 

Text/talk/1gb- $25 and customize it how you want.

 

$10: 3gb or 1gb hotspot etc

$20: unlimited data or 5gb hotspot

$25: 3gb +1 GB hotspot

$35: unl +1 GB hotspot

Etc etc

No info yet on plans. But it should be big. Besides holidays this is the first time i remeber them closing stores early since the night before the iphone 4s launch. All sprint stores are closing at 6 Monday (at least in indiana) and meeting for training. Several stores and preferred retailers in my area are coming together for it

$35 for talk/text/3GB? That sounds nice but the big question is can the network handle it if there was an influx of new subs? I can tell you here in my market it could get them in a lot of trouble. Take a look at the not complete maps and you'll see how much work is left to do here. Plus most people in NJ are on VZW or AT&T. I doubt they would be content with current coverage and performance. They are far superior to Sprint here at this point.

At this point, gaining a bunch of subs is not really going to be an issue. Stopping the loss of postpaid subs and maybe gaining some back they lost is the order of the day. It would take quite a bit of growth just to equal the subscribers of just 5 quarters ago.

 

Sprint needs to stop the bleeding now and continue the build out as fast as possible. Letting people continue to leave is not an option. And besides, people who are willing to ride it out are probably due a nice discount like this.

The least we can ask for is a thank you for your patience reward.. 6 months to a year of discount on our account? Or even an early upgrade opportunity for customers nearing the end of a 2 year contract.

 

If they do any new promos I hope that are not all geared at new subs. They have to throw a bone to the folks that have stuck things out.  I am thinking early upgrades and possible hardware discounts to get people to updated phones that can take advantage of the new network.  Maybe a buyback bonus or a new phone rebate.

that pricing is similar to the framily....

The CEO stated cheaper prices until the network is where it needs to be.

This will stop the bleeding... In markets that are in good standing people will flock, in places like what you stated.. Well in time it will get better.. Should happen within a year... I would pay sprint $35 a month with a so so network than pay vzw ~80 for 4gbs and their network.. But that's just me. If the prices were within $15 I would stay with vzw

Someone I know who works in a Sprint store in Florida, as well as another person who works in a store in Illinois is also closing early.

Based on my Sprint retail contacts, it seems to be nationwide.

Point blank, all my lines would have stayed with Sprint if they had been willing to provide incentives or concessions where the network had become impossible to use. Glad we have a ceo that understands this!! If he can stimulate heavy positive growth AND shock people with acceptable network performance, the "framily" will grow beyond a plan

Well hes saying exactly what Ive been saying Sprint should be saying...

 

 

"We're going to change our plans to make sure they are simple and attractive and make sure every customer in America thinks twice about signing up to a competitor," he said, adding that "very disruptive" rate places are coming next week, and Sprint will react quickly to bring competitive offers to potential customers.

 

"When you have a great network, you don’t have to compete on price," the Brightstar Corp founder added. "When your network is behind, unfortunately you have to compete on value and price."

I always said that "pardon our dust" should have been followed with "heres $10 off for your understanding."

The excitement is killing me. I want my dad to switch h from this Everything Data 1500 plan already. I'm ready for yearly upgrades. Sadly Framily wasn't saving him any money.

 

Yup, Im on that same plan because Framily would have been a price hike for us.

 

I'd love to see Sprint throw in some of the fun tmobile stuff like free international texting.

 

And maybe the new CEO, due to his personal background, will look at the rates Sprint charges for calls in/to Latin America and take a machete to them.

I haven't been this excited since I ditched my iPhone 4 and at&t for Sprint and LTE. I sure hope these new plans are as exciting as we're all speculating! I'm VERY interested to see where Sprint goes from here... and hopefully it all just happens over night, as I've suspected Son has been plodding these moves carefully since at least last year. 

 

I wonder what the actual plans were if the TMO acquisition didn't get canned...

Sprint should seriously shake up the pricing... Sell with money off run a special where all the top tier phones are zero down $25 a month

 

Call it Sprints $25 celebration or something.... $25 per month for plan*** $25 for select phones

 

****includes ul talk/txt 3gb for first 12 months... 1gb after

I honestly don't see prices dropping to much but rather changing the structure..

Framily pricing is good, I think the pricing will move towards framily pricing just without the framily..

45-50 bucks unlimited is pretty good..

 

But they should def change their prices for the hotspot devices.

Give me 10gs for $40 or 4for $20

    • Took advantage of a Boost deal to get an "unlimited" line for $11.50 for one month to test Dish's network. So far performance has been great. If they ever get around to deploying their 20MHz CBRS and 20MHz DoD, they would easily clear 1Gbps on a lot of sites. So far I've only dropped off of Dish's native network only once, in an underground garage. When it fell off, it switched to AT&T's network which had one bar of Band 12. When you run a test on AT&T, speeds weren't throttled but ping times were high at over 100ms compared to the 25-35ms pings on Dish's native network. My fastest test so far was inside Nathan's in Coney Island this evening. Pic of the site included. — — — — — Currently the only carrier outperforming them in my house is T-Mobile. They get faster speeds than AT&T and a stronger signal than Verizon.
    • https://ir.echostar.com/news-releases/news-release-details/echostar-corporation-announces-successful-completion-various They have pushed off debt for at least 6 years, except for 139 million. It is secured by spectrum.  They want to put this money towards completing their build out.  Hopefully this includes some midrange capacity.
    • Just revisiting the RCS issue and discussing another point I find odd.  Yeah, my family and close friends and most coworkers still mostly use whats app in our chats due to the odd RCS issues.   Some have Apple phones, some Samsung.  But using Facebook Messenger or Whats App handily eliminates those issues.   But the other thing I find odd is how all the information out there states that to use the Smart View app to mirror your phone to your TV that your TV and your phone have to be on the same wifi network.  That is 100 percent untrue.  I've historically not had wifi at home and only use it in our common areas in our community or occasionally at work.  But primarily I just use my phone for everything and do not have wifi at home.  It's because I haven't needed it.  I've been using all my Samsung phones for the better part of a decade now as my entertainment center because it's simple, effective, portable and absolutely does not require a wifi connection for my TV in order to cast all the content from my phone.  I'm not sure why it is stated that it is required.  The two devices - as we all no doubt know - create a wifi direct connection between the two devices in order for smart view to work, however, no general wifi network is required at all.  Again, I've been enjoying the feature for close to a decade but I find it odd that they say that you need wifi at home to use it.  Samsung television sets, Roku TV sets, LG TV sets (I cast to all of them at work regularly, again, sans wifi) and TCL TVs are all compatible.  There are likely more but these are the ones that I regularly screen mirror to, again, without the two devices being on the same network (this is separate from the notion of creating a wifi direct connection between the 2 in order to enable the service). This is the sole reason I only buy Samsung phones.   I tried a Pixel device before the Pixel 8 (which was the first to allow display out via wired connection for streaming) but it simply did not offer the same feature.   I wonder why they say this.  It's interesting if nothing else.
