Sprint's Q1 Earnings Report (May 5th, 2015)


Ascertion

Recommended Posts

AJ has a good point about voice and text and how AT&T would have been chosen well over those carriers who don't, as they have it and since it seems to be such a big deal, then naturally yes, they would have got a lot of that business. Only thing I can think of is these same people prefer coverage over that, which until recently, AT&T has still been well behind Verizon in that department.

 

Now it is at a point where if At&T were to price match Verizon and offer a membership discount for a membership I have with the Freelancers, I'd check them out as an alternative. I remember someone else here on S4GRU mentioning they had the same membership and got AT&T to do it, but I couldn't when I asked an representative at AT&T, shortly before getting Sprint.

AT&T customers get a 22% discount through Freelancers. It's the easiest thing to get put on too. Just log into your freelancers account, find the link for the 22% off AT&T, click on it (should redirect you to an att login) and then to a form already filled out and submit it.

My discount was processed and added within 30 minutes.

Att is also more likely to give you more data to keep you from leaving.

My sister has $100 for 30GB (instead of 10) because they threatened to leave.

I was a customer less then a week and I mentioned the new Verizon 15 gigs for $100 deal to retentions and they threw the same plan at me no questions asked.

Seriously, what did I exactly do/say that was so egregious?

 

You are beating a dead horse.  S4GRU has been over the simultaneous voice/data thing ad nauseam.  And we are tired of it -- because we already have said everything there is to say.  But I will say it one last time...

 

If you require operator provided simultaneous voice/data at this time, Sprint is not right for you.  Go find another provider.  On the other hand, if you are more flexible, you do have options:  use third party VoIP, carry a separate hotspot for your data, or wait for VoLTE.

If anyone has any issues with staff moderation or individuals of the staff please communicate your concerns via PMs either to the individual in question or Robert himself instead of cluttering threads. 

 

Thanks!

Practically a must in corporate America

I've been in corporate America for 21 years, in consulting nonetheless, and I've never had simultaneous voice and data. I'm still doing fine.

I'll just let that topic die.

 

Thanks for the input.....

 

To be fair, I took your comment as sarcasm and a joke - nothing malicious towards Sprint.  

 

Talking on the phone while driving is bad.  Talking while simultaneously checking email/maps/directions and driving is worse.

Because he loves to troll here, every.single.day

 

I roll my eyes and skip past his posts most times as they rarely add any value to the thread.

 

I sincerely wish there was a way to like/thumbs up this post x10,000

    • Your referring to the $25.00 a month Infinite Unlimited plan?  I don't see any other plans on there even cheaper than that on their website.  I was looking at the Motorola 2023 Edge fwiw as well for $10.00 a month. 
    • A heavy n41 overlay as an acquisition condition would be a win for customers, and eventually a win for T-Mobile as that might be enough to preclude VZW/AT&T adding C-Band for FWA due to spreading the market too thinly (which means T-Mobile would just have local WISPs/wireline ISPs as competition). USCC spacing (which is likely for contiguous 700 MHz LTE coverage in rural areas) isn't going to be enough for contiguous n41 anyway, and I doubt they'll densify enough to get there.
    • Boost Infinite with a rainbow SIM (you can get it SIM-only) is the cheapest way, at $25/mo, to my knowledge; the cheaper Boost Mobile plans don't run on Dish native. Check Phonescoop for n70 support on a given phone; the Moto G 5G from last year may be the cheapest unlocked phone with n70 though data speeds aren't as good as something with an X70 or better modem.
    • Continuing the USCC discussion, if T-Mobile does a full equipment swap at all of USCC's sites, which they probably will for vendor consistency, and if they include 2.5 on all of those sites, which they probably will as they definitely have economies of scale on the base stations, that'll represent a massive capacity increase in those areas over what USCC had, and maybe a coverage increase since n71 will get deployed everywhere and B71 will get deployed any time T-Mobile has at least 25x25, and maybe where they have 20x20. Assuming this deal goes through (I'm betting it does), I figure I'll see contiguous coverage in the area of southern IL where I was attempting to roam on USCC the last time I was there, though it might be late next year before that switchover happens.
    • Forgot to post this, but a few weeks ago I got to visit these small cells myself! They're spread around Grant park and the surrounding areas, but unfortunately none of the mmwave cells made it outside of the parks along the lake into the rest of downtown. I did spot some n41 small cells around downtown, but they seemed to be older deployments limited to 100mhz and performed poorly.
