    All carriers do things like this. Look at Sprint site, roaming/non-roaming colours are green and slightly less green. This is done on purpose. They should use green for native and any other colour for roaming, not green.

    I got charged on my sero-p lines. They should increase the cost of the phone $35 to make it a lot more clearer, but I know they like fees to try and hide behind.

    THI Donuts...

    Most of the country, as in most have the land coverage have 1 or zero options for high speed internet. You are very lucky. This is because of zero competition in most areas.

    I just read my current bill, it looks as though my terms have changed to either 100 or 300 MB, based on plan terms. http://shop2.sprint.com/en/legal/legal_terms_privacy_popup.shtml?ECID=vanity:termsandconditions#3 Nice.

    I think the worse thing about the plans is the lower limit for roaming. 100 MB is very low. (it was 300 MB) Last month one of lines used 66MB and never left the native service area.

    http://shop2.sprint.com/en/legal/legal_terms_privacy_popup.shtml?ECID=vanity:termsandconditions Says this... if a particular rate plan is no longer supported or available, we may change your rate plan to one for which you qualify Seems a little strange.

    Is this the same way that Sprint currently re-compresses images on web pages? They will re-compress the streaming video and limit it to 1 Mbps? I have seen them compress streaming video already, when connected to an LTE enabled tower. I'm not sure what rate they re-compressed it to.

    For the areas outside of the cities they depend a lot on CenturyLink. The landscape and trees means microwave can't be used in a lot of areas. CenturyLink is expanding fibre to the outer laying areas, but they keep putting their target dates behind month after month. My area is already 6 months behind schedule. They are adding DSLAMs that replace the old terminals, the fibre hasn't been run yet. CL told me they are running fibre quite a few miles. Sprint just turned on a tower in Maple Valley and Black Diamond a while ago. VZW is also starting to enable LTE in the same areas, I don't know which frequencies they are using.

    What does EPRP mean? I listed those two employee links as examples, many others exist for other companies.

    Still available. For example goto http://sprint.com/microsoft or http://sprint.com/boeing Still listed and active.

    After the 1GB data plan is used up, do they reduce the data speeds to edge? I wonder what that is like. ;) The T-mobile plans being compared to don't include phone subsidies, the Sprint ones do.
  13. Bob Newhart
    What do you mean? He is saying that T-Mobile planned for expansion of increased data usage. Sprint didn't do this. I have connected on T-Mobile sites with HSPA+ but still max out at 1Mbps, as the site is fed with T1s also.

    They have recently removed native areas in Western states. So it looks like the coverage area is shrinking, at least in WA. They should have waited until they almost completed NV before trying to raise prices on people who have put up with poor network performance for years. They are trying to count their chickens before they hatch.

    On the Android application, they list the signals as Sprint (LTE), Sprint (CDMA), T-Mobile (GSM), T-Mobile (LTE). Which is a lot clearer. They should also list Sprint (Roaming)

    I do find this thread and story amusing, but.... it is no different from other peoples opinions or religions, people preach their view and expect people to believe it because they told them so, because of some funny reason that some guy once said on the way home walking his dog. Lots of money to be made there.

    Any idea if the AIO wireless plans allow for conditional call forwarding to allow the integration of Google Voice? The T-Mobile pre-paid plans not allow for the Google voice integration.
  18. Bob Newhart
    It looks like there won't be any in San Diego for quite some time, not until they get approval to use the 800 Mhz frequencies for CDMA/LTE. There is an 80 mile buffer zone where these aren't getting converted.

    VZW will also give them to users at no cost. Plus there isn't a monthly cost, unlike Sprint's fees.

    Since sensorly includes roaming on Verizon and other cell companies on the Sprint map, the map might not change at all. The maps show non-Sprint coverage on the Sprint coverage map, crazy I know.
  21. Bob Newhart
    Not sure why we get charged to make a decision, that is wrong. What happens if we don't choose, we get a mix of cash and stock?
  22. Bob Newhart
    I asked them this two about a year ago, they told me that it doesn't report when roaming, I know this is incorrect though. I think its very wrong of them to do this. It its roaming, they should have a different colour to indicate so. I don't mean a slightly/almost the same shade of green like Sprint does on their site, which is almost as deceiving. It should be something Green = Sprint coverage, Orange = Roaming coverage.
  23. Bob Newhart
    Why does Sensorly register roaming as it was a Sprint signal? It is deceiving for 3G maps, especially since the speed is limited to 1x when on Verizon and maybe others.

    They should plan ahead and upgrade these towers in non-breeding season. Tower companies do place a more attractive tower specifically designed for large birds to nest upon very close to cell towers to prevent this happening. As large birds can be very territorial and won't allow birds to nest on the close cell tower.

    Are you sure it wasn't because of cell phone rules setup in 1848?
