  1. I knew it required new handsets -- just assumed it needed tower enhancements too. So this should help anywhere with b41 correct. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  2. Admittedly I'm being lazy here... Will hpue require hardware upgrades on the towers? Or hopefully pure software updates? And the G6 has it built in ? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. That model didn't bode well for Saturn Automobiles Auto pay saves money and brings in less late payments. People like a deal and some people like to negotiate a better price even more. For those that like a set price they should look towards an MVNO- which if memory serves you don't particularly like. Activation or SIM card fees aren't going anywhere- they are a quick way to create cash. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. Activation fees can be marked down or credited back to a zero cost. Whereas a sim card is bought as a tangible good, which it is. As such some people don't feel it's "nothing" and complain less about buying one. Just my 2cents Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  5. I'd be curious if the complaints for the 3mbps plan are from phone sluts like us, or everyday average customers. Called the deathstar today and oddly they said for the prices listed on the two new plans - directv was required. Which I either missed or they aren't fully trained yet.

  6. I'd actually be shocked if Vzw doesn't follow up with a similar one. And the majority will never use a hotspot feature. Heck I don't need 100mbps on my phone. I just want to know I can stream music, podcasts, YouTube and surf the web. With it just working. I know some do care and that's fine as there are options for that. If my Sprint phones had a constant 3mbps connection I'd kindly give up the occasional 50-100+ Mbps bursts I get. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  7. Why would ATT kill off their own MVNO Cricket? Cricket allows ATT to be very nimble without compromising their own brand nor network QoS. All while leaching small numbers from other mvnos and even T-Mobile. Oh not to mention no real risk as all the money is upfront. Cricket can have higher speeds than the new low cost ATT plan as again it's a tool that helps defend their ATT network yet being faster than what most subscribers get on TMO and Sprint when away from city centers. The new 3mbps plan on ATT is slow yes. But it's pricing is decent especially if you currently have sprint or TMO in a non upgraded area. Yet you still have a carrier that will finance your new $900 iPhone or Galaxy with zero interest. Is the plan perfect- hardly. The structure you listed above is great, but not for shareholders. As companies aren't in business to make friends, their goal is to offer a product that sells and makes a profit. I suspect that 3mbps plan will attract many customers.

  8. Lol - so true. I bet a ATT and VZW buyout would get through. Now I'm not suggesting that to occur. That said I do think a tmo and att makes the most sense. But under the current debt load on att's books I don't see it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  9. Define current customer... I believe they are not pushing any one Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  10. To be more clear -- on volte their voice sounds good. But still not great. Wifi calling though is great. Sprint has had great voice sound quality for many years. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  11. From my use VZW voice is beyond over modulated or compressed. Even on VoLte imho. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  12. Correct. But a national carrier in 2017 should have reliable voice and text. AND data. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  13. Apple typically gets much better battery life for many reasons Biggest - the OS is made for the CPU - CPU is more efficient and OS can work better with less threads - the GPU has less pixels to draw Lesser - more efficient task switching (newer Dozer features in Android handle this very closely) - better SDK for developing the apps.

  14. So LTE-U interesting. Seems again TMO is talking less and doing more. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  15. I ported from VZW about 6 weeks ago -- just talked to their Winback team -- not including device payments just data/voice etc ... VZW is 60 more per month. The coverage is far better with V but speeds are all over the map between the two. And I assume next march the difference is about 35 bucks. I don't really know what to do. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  16. I'm thinking SoftBank already has a buyer. No merger. Sorry -- just my hunch. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  17. I ported in from Vzw on Jan 20th Just called to ask about the free HD and 10gb and if I added a 3rd line would it be "free". They said no since I'm now an existing account. She was willing to submit a request to back office team to waive the 3rd line fee - but that was all. Not to get folks mad at me here for posting again. But it's tempting to go back to vzw or even ATT -- to me sprint's only draw was unlimited data. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  18. I'd say by leaving it off of the press release it: -- lets them see how much analysts and or competitors talk it up and speculate a price -- lets them have the need for another press release and more news outlets talking it up - free press
  19. Wait I've been gone for a couple months -- and we are still "discussing" audio compression issues with the stock unlimited plan. I genuinely feel sorry for you W... That's all don't worry Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
