I have to tell you all I am near tears right now.  I am so stoked that Marcelo listened to us, directly.  I am sure he listened to all the feedback he heard.  But I believe S4GRU was influential in th

I'm still shocked and amazed how successful S4GRU has been in staying online, remaining relevant and keeping quality members and staff all with member donations from a relatively small pool. When we

A conference call starts at 8:15, and the access # is in the Sprint Newsroom. Otherwise everything on the Sprint Countdown page is for the consumer facing.

You have to be credentialed media to actually listen to the Conference call. Entering the Conference ID is only a part of the verification process.

Maybe we wait for the conference call before everybody freaks out.

Sorry, but looking at the website it does not look like anything else is coming.  Except fine print.  Maybe he discusses the network some in the phone call, which I hope he does as the network is really getting strong.  Listen, I love Sprint they have been great for me, but when you hype something up, you better deliver in the tech world.  Hence why I am very careful when I play tech stocks.  One miscue during a presentation an plummet the stock.

For someone who knows nothing about Sprint...this is huge!

 

For me, Framily is the cheapest plan ever. I pay $32 dollars a month (with taxes) for talk,text, and 1GB, combined with my wife we pay a whopping $100 as she is on a GS6 lease.

It is indeed a good deal. But it is not, however, big news. Consumers still believe they are sacrificing quite a bit by moving to Sprint from another Big 4 carrier. Sprint must address this perception. Secondly, Sprint has made a big deal of protecting (nay, growing) margins....and yet they come out with something like this?

 

A wiser strategy would have been to bundle things that have merely an incremental effect on the bottom line (more hot-spot data, a beefier global roaming deal that is automatically bundled with each plan) rather than something so costly. Marketing emphasis could have also been placed on the $25.00 difference in price that already exists between T-Mobile's unlimited plan and Sprint's. SMH

 

I love Sprint. I love what they're doing with their network. I just think they underestimate consumers.

 

A quick counterpoint: Depending on the plans the new customers come from this will probably still be a benefit to margin/ARPU especially seeing how popular phone leasing is with new customers. If you are talking about margins etc then truthfully it is the legacy SERO/Framily plans that drive that down. I agree that it could have been a bigger deal but, still, half off even T-Mobile plans is actually a really huge savings for many people and the sad truth is that these types of moves are what Sprint has to do to gain goodwill back from people. They've had a terrible network for too long to simply issue press releases saying "The network is great now, really!" and they have to rely on the value proposition until they are considered a real option to people.

 

T-Mobile has made that transition and Sprint can as well.

I'm just wondering how many people got themselves hyped up thinking they were going to get free goodies, what a bunch of moochers we have here. You don't get something from nothing.

Marcelo said there was something for us existing users. There was nothing in that announcement indicating something for us.

I just asked about which tablet and free year he was referring to for existing... I guess some aren't reading the previous posts before replying that nothing has been mentioned for current customers. Although I don't..and won't be needing another tablet...I already have that crappy LG tab that they hyped up to be awesome...with it's whopping 8gb of memory...and no expandable storage...

Really don't get what the big deal is. They already had the cut your rate in half. So what's the big deal?

they added T mobile, but not binge on or music freedom so...... yeah doubt they will get many t mobile subs

      Definite usage quirks in hunting down these sites with a rainbow sim in a s24 ultra. Fell into a hole yesterday so sent off to T-Mobile purgatory. Try my various techniques. No Dish. Get within binocular range of former Sprint colocation and can see Dish equipment. Try to manually set network and everybody but no Dish is listed.  Airplane mode, restart, turn on and off sim, still no Dish. Pull upto 200ft from site straight on with antenna.  Still no Dish. Get to manual network hunting again on phone, power off phone for two minutes. Finally see Dish in manual network selection and choose it. Great signal as expected. I still think the 15 minute rule might work but lack patience. (With Sprint years ago, while roaming on AT&T, the phone would check for Sprint about every fifteen minutes. So at highway speed you could get to about the third Sprint site before roaming would end). Using both cellmapper and signalcheck.net maps to hunt down these sites. Cellmapper response is almost immediate these days (was taking weeks many months ago).  Their idea of where a site can be is often many miles apart. Of course not the same dataset. Also different ideas as how to label a site, but sector details can match with enough data (mimo makes this hard with its many sectors). Dish was using county spacing in a flat suburban area, but is now denser in a hilly richer suburban area.  Likely density of customers makes no difference as a poorer urban area with likely more Dish customers still has country spacing of sites.

      Mike if you need more Dish data, I have been hunting down sites in western Columbus.  So far just n70 and n71 reporting although I CA all three.

      Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.
