    http://www.rcrwireless.com/20150813/carriers/att-trumps-t-mobile-verizon-and-sprint-in-purchasing-satisfaction-tag2 Sprint continued last place for "purchasing satisfaction". I'll be honest, I avoid local Sprint stores (corporate and non-corporate owned) at ALL costs. They are absolutely horrible to deal with. They always have computer problems. It easily takes over an hour to upgrade your phone in store. Every time I walk in a Sprint store, they add insurance to my line without my permission. Buying on tele-sales or online is a much better experience.

    Does anyone here have experience using Softbank in Japan? Are they the "Verizon" of Japan?

    I bet this is directly related to their earnings and the info that Masa wanted out. Trying to calm fears. Sent from my SM-N910T using Tapatalk

    It's been awhile... I remember years ago, Radio Shack exclusively sold "Cellular One" service in Maryland. With the Sprint Shack now a thing...revive Cell One? I remember when Bell Atlantic became VZW years ago. Sprint seems to be one of the oldest names still in use? Sent from my SM-N910T using Tapatalk

    My vote would be Spark. But not until the network is better.

    I guess this is the evidence of T-Mobile's organic network expansion finally happening...not sure it's early enough for anything significant in 2015 to match those maps they were bragging about in January though...lol

    http://www.fiercewireless.com/story/america-tower-t-mobile-co-locating-gear-verizon-towers-we-bought/2015-08-12 Does anyone know what regions these towers are in? T-Mobile looking to co-locate for LTE expansion on the recently sold Verizon towers.

    5S or 6? I've found the 5S to be an extremely weak on band 4, while the iPhone 6 is noticeably better. Plus I think T-Mobile's maps include Band 12 coverage, which no iPhone supports yet. I wish they would differentiate the two, but as every phone in the future likely adds band 12 support, it shouldn't be a problem.

    Agreed! I travel overseas for work frequently, sim swapping is a pain. Those things are tiny, a pain to deal with, and often inconvenient to find. These roaming agreements are MUCH more preferred by me. Sometimes it takes a while just to figure out where to buy sims locally...especially if you don't speak the local language. I have a time or two where it was impossible to find one. Thankfully for imessage and facetime calling over WiFi, I made do.

    I'm guessing Sprint will stop offering phone subsidies on contract in the very near future. https://www.reddit.com/r/Sprint/comments/3giqzx/sprint_may_be_next_in_line_to_cut_2year_contracts/

    That's not how it works. If you pay the "buy out" price, you get to keep the phone.

    Sprint is going to remain the most competitive with device costs for the foreseeable future I think. Annual iPhone upgrade for $22...not bad!

    Verizon has executives getting a little more vocal on Twitter. Sent from my SM-N910T using Tapatalk

    Performance comparable to a S6 you think?
  16. joshuam
    I know we will never find out...but I wonder what the margins on a flagship vs budget device are? Like a Galaxy S6 vs a Galaxy Prime? Or even what the Moto G is.

    $160 for 4 lines to share 12GB...LOL. No thanks.
  18. joshuam
    Isn't this basically what Sprint does now? Except Sprint has a $10/month add on for upgrades after 12 months.

    It's the same thing Sprint is doing with Boingo in Airports, just on a different scale. I've not used the Boingo service yet, but it is sorely needed judging by the recent RootMetrics report for Airports.

    Not a big deal to skip if you desire.
  21. joshuam
    Correct
  22. joshuam
    Agreed...Sprint should have bought MetroPCS.

    Former Sprint CEO Hesse: Unexpected disruption from Network Vision was 'very painful to me personally' http://www.fiercewireless.com/story/former-sprint-ceo-hesse-unexpected-disruption-network-vision-was-very-painf/2015-08-05

    I'm guessing most of the efforts to increase the density of Sprint's network will be focused in urban/metropolitan areas...which will be a huge improvement for Sprint, and one that is definitely needed. But outside of urban areas, I spend more time on band 26 than any other band, even in areas fully blanketed by band 41 with 8T8R panels. Band 26 is too congested (speeds around 1Mbps)...adding a 10x10 low band carrier will help with congestion in areas Sprint won't increase the density of their network.
