I fixed your thread title.  One incident does not a corporate conspiracy make.  If you or the author of the linked article want to show that this is standard Sprint practice, please do.  But the burden of proof is on you.  S4GRU is not automatically going to run a thread with a salacious title that generalizes from one known occurrence.

 

For those curious, the original thread title was "Sprint installing MDM on iPhones."  That is akin to one customer witnessing once at McDonald's a hamburger being picked up off the floor in the kitchen, then saying "McDonald's serves its hamburgers off the floor."

That is enough information to ruin someone's appetite.

A "McDonald's hamburger" is enough information to ruin someone's appetite.

 

There is good reason why McDonald's has started serving its breakfast all day.

No one over the age of 8 should find anything at all desirable about their "food."

 

But I think we've had this discussion before

 

Fried chicken? That's always in season.

I suppose the original thread title WAS more appropriate.

 

The problem is there was not evidence at that time to support that sweeping conclusion.

Lol, I immediately thought of the pink slime in Ghostbusters 2 that runs under NYC's streets, because it will put anyone in a bad mood.

One day, if only this man became McDonald's CEO, he could literally raise hamburger meat from the sewers :

      Kind of amazing that T-Mobile is still holding onto that speed title despite Verizon all but killing off lowband 5G on their network. While Verizon is mostly being evaluated on mmWave and C-band performance, T-Mobile and AT&T's average 5G speeds include their massive lowband 5G networks that are significantly slower.

      Yup. Very true. We were originally on an Everything Data 1500 Plan, which got Unlimited Minutes thanks to Marcelo's "Loyalty Benefits" offer. We then switched to Unlimited Freedom (with the Free HD add-on that Sprint originally wanted $20/month per line for.... remember that?) because the pricing was better with "iPhone for Life", vs. the "Loyalty Credit" for staying on a Legacy Plan. After that, I ran the numbers and switched us over to Sprint MAX, especially for the international travel benefits. There's absolutely no reason for us to switch to Go5G Plus or Go5G Next if we're going to do BYOD by purchasing from Apple/Samsung/Google directly as we've been doing. These new plans aren't priced for current customers to switch to. They're priced for new customers, where they throw in a free line, etc. It's gone from "Uncarrier" to "Carrier". What a shame.

      Strange business model that they keep around all these pricing plans. 1000s of plans per carrier is reportedly not uncommon.  Training customer support must be a nightmare. Even MVNOs have legacy plans. A downside of their contract mentality I guess. Best to change contracts during a recession. But then all carriers try to squeeze out legacy plan benefits as they grow old.

      Everything "Uncarrier" is becoming "Carrier" again. Because of the Credit Limit that T-Mobile put on our account for no reason at all (and wouldn't change/update the last time I checked all the way up to the CEO), I don't plan on buying/upgrading our iPhones through T-Mobile. I'm going through Apple directly. Looks like I'll be going through Google and Samsung directly for our other lines for upgrades. Also, we're staying on Sprint Max given the ridiculous pricing for Go5G Plus. On Sprint Max, we currently pay for our Plan: $260 for 7 Voice Lines $25 for two Wearable Lines. (One is $10/Month. The other is $15/Month because the AutoPay discount only applies up to 8 lines.) Total: $285/Month vs. Go5G Plus (Per the Broadband Facts "nutrition label" on the T-Mobile Website): https://www.t-mobile.com/commerce/cell-phone-plans $360 - ($5 AutoPay Discount x 7 Voice Lines) = $325 The Watch Plans show as either $12/Month or $15/Month: https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans/affordable-data-plans/smartwatches So this is about the same for the wearables as what we're paying now. Overall, it's quite more than we're paying now to switch plans. Ridiculous....
