I hate I hate I hate I hate going into sprint stores.

 

I came into the store to activate a iPhone 6s that is unlocked that I had wth T-Mobile because the rep couldn't do it over phone. So I told the rep that I need to swap phones on my line and somewhere it was lost in translation and they activated the damn phone on another line on my account. The rep asks me do I have that other phone. I looked at that rep and said no that's a other persons line. So they had to call and get the stuff fixed and add the phones to the right numbers. I just don't understand why the reps don't listen. I've never had a good experience when going into their stores. I try by all means to stay away.

 

Now is it true that a sprint store can not help a person with a Virgin mobile account? A guy walked into the store needing help and the rep had no clue sprint owned virgin mobile and when I said they do she said oh well we only have access to sprint and boost. Crazy thing is this person was training a new hire. I just don't get it with these stores where I live.

Other than AT&T VZW and USCC, who else holds B5? 10x10 low and in ANY market would be awesome for sprint

 

I don't believe there is any adjacent spectrum available to expand Sprint's current 800 holdings. They would have to acquire new 850 spectrum, which is pretty much all in use, and not likely to be given up.

Kamchatka.  That is the market where Sprint can hold 10 MHz FDD of low band spectrum.

They are now using it for B5 LTE, for what it's worth.

O rly?! I haven't seen any 850 antennas added lately. Are they using the older antennae? I do not have their service but close family does. They haven't mentioned it but I will have them look.

There was a background slide about it on one of the pictures Sievert put up on Twitter about meeting with T-Moble's engineers at the Carolinas. Can't find the Tweet in question, probably because I'm not bothering to look it up for now.

Talk about flyover country!

 

Uh, yeah, you can fly over Kamchatka at your own risk.

Maybe frat boy Sievert presented it as a PowerPoint at the weekly chapter meeting.

Good to know, that is more info than I had before. Thanks for satisfying my curiosity.

So Sprint's adding an Amazon Prime add-on feature. For $10.99 per month you can add amazon prime to your phone bill.  

 

http://newsroom.sprint.com/article_display.cfm?article_id=12168

 

That's a 33% premium over getting it direct from Amazon. I guess some people won't care. Or they'll just want it for a month here and there.

I wasn't sure why it was so expensive, but I guess that if the prime membership can be month to month it makes sense. Like if someone wants to buy a refrigerator but doesn't want to pay for shipping.

Prime has a hidden month to month in the payment settings. I have been paying

$9.99 a month for it for almost a year now. Sprint is charging $1 extra.

Well, I could argue the T-Mobile SIM Card Starter Kit is a form of activation fee, and the Verizon, Sprint, and AT&T practices are forms of SIM Card charging. The reality? It costs nothing for providers to activate and probably $1 for the piece of plastic that will eventually be obsoleted by eSIM, which can't get here soon enough IMO.

 

That said Sprint should consider lowering their activation fees or SIM card fees or whatever they choose to call it today. $36 is too much.

Sprint already lowered it to $30 for one line, $60 for 2 to 10.

Fair enough, but I wouldn't mind it going down further (obviously).

      Official Tmobile-Sprint merger discussion thread

      By dkyeager · Posted

      I think the push for them is adding US Mobile as a MVNO with a priority data plan.  Ultimately, making people more aware of priority would allow them (and other carriers) to differentiate themselves from MVNOs like Consumer Cellular that advertise the same coverage. n77 has dramatically reduced the need for priority service at Verizon where the mere functioning of your phone was in jeopardy a couple of years ago if you had a low priority plan like Red Pocket. Only have heard of problems with T-Mobile in parts of Los Angeles. AT&T fell in between. All had issues at large concerts and festivals, or sporting events if your carrier has no on-site rights. Edit: Dishes native 5g network has different issues: not enough sites, limited bandwidth. Higher priority would help a few. Truth is they can push phones to AT&T or T-Mobile.

      Tracfone AT&T sims went from QCI 8 to 9 as well a couple years ago. I'm pretty neutral towards AT&T's turbo feature here, the only bad taste left was for those who had unadvertised QCI 7 a couple months ago moved down to 8. In my eyes it would have been a lot better for AT&T to include turbo in those Premium/Elite plans for free to keep them at QCI 7, while also introducing this turbo add on option for any other plans or devices. As it stands now only a handful of plans can add it, and only if you're using a device on a random list of devices AT&T considers to be 5G smartphones.

      My Red Pocket AT&T GSMA account was dropped to QCI 9 about a year ago.  Most recently 8 for the last few years prior.  Voice remains at 5.

      https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2024/05/att-announces-7-monthly-add-on-fee-for-turbo-5g-speeds/ Hopefully we don't ever see T-Mobile do something like this. Based on how I was treated with my Credit Limit, it's definitely not the same company it was before the merger, and it's entirely possible they'd try it.
