Even if they did, Sprint beat them to the punch. This fight is getting interesting!

Agreed. Wow!

I wonder what Sprint's Q3 Earnings is going to look like in terms of subscriber growth and such. I'm thinking they're doing well for the first time in a while.

Only cautionary tale is "we" could enter magenta territory on the P&L scale. Which honestly is needed to boost subs short term.

Seems like sprint found a way to attract customers, lower the ul plan and bring back/rename contracts! Then top it off... The get the devices back!...

Hopefully they start doing this for all phones now.. Let's see what the "others" offer!

 

I like though.. Gives you something to feel good about as this is a "first" wonder what jl will say...

Well at the Sprint store today I saw several 4+ line switch overs. The manager on duty said they have been getting a lot of large groups moving over with the new share plans. I think they may be gaining sub's this quarter!

[Paynefanbro]

The share plan must really be attracting those Verizon and AT&T customers like crazy.

Same. With the new plans and free tablet offer hopefully sprint posts a good healthy subscriber gain.

 

I think Sprint should continue the promotion (contract buy out and waived access fee) until the end of the year

Half the reps in my store are at our monthly activation quotas and today is the 9th... this last weekend was insane. Every person i pulled out of que seemed to be from them and interested in info or ready to switch over.

Sorry if I missed this but how are the shared data/up to 10 lines looked at?

Can my lines and my in-laws lines be combined even if we don't live together?

Thanks.

Interesting Marcelo article: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-09-09/sprint-s-iphone-for-life-plan-lets-users-upgrade-every-2-years.html

 

During the interview yesterday, Claure was interrupted by another call from Son, Sprint’s chairman. He promised to call back. While the two clearly communicate frequently, Claure said Son hadn’t signed off on Sprint’s new subscription plans.

“He trusts me -- I hope,” he said.

[Rawvega]

Interesting. Well supposedly it's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission so I think Marcelo did the right thing.

The best part was Son "loving" Claure for already delivering net add of customers 3 weeks since his new subscription plans.

I think for Masa, image is everything. He'd rather have momentum and an improving image and lose some money, than to be a loser and lose money. At least there is hope and a chance with the former, and none with the latter.

 

Take some chances, shake things up. Move forward. Take a few jabs, but charge forward like a rabid moose!

He lost 1 billion each year, for 4 years in Japan. I think he's okay with this risk, especially if it brings new customers...which it will.

Yes, exactly. He will spend money to improve subscriber numbers and move forward. But spending money to get even further behind will not cut it with Masa. Spend money to win! We will call this SM2W...the Masa acronym.

[JeffDTD]

Exactly. Its not like he cant afford it. Starve the flamingo and steal some better credit customers from the duopoly. Now I just need some rural carrier coverage realization

Has anyone found the T&C for the iPhone for life plan? How much will you end up owing Sprint if you get to the end of 24 months and your device is lost/stolen/broken?

I don't think it's out yet. Maybe they are waiting for T-Mobile's move (which is at 4pm EST today)?

 

I'm really digging the lease options (only for Apple devices, don't think it'd work as well for Android devices).
