As long as he uses it to not be a D-Bag like a certain Magenta tool...but to help keep customers and potential customers in the know....Tweet to your hearts content! 

There is a way to troll the other guys without being a D-Bag...I hope he does do *some* magenta trolling!

Just tagged his account to notify at each tweet. This could be a great day.

I'm so glad that he is using his twitter account for Sprint!

Didn't someone (AT&T?) used to offer a plan like that?

Maybe Sprint should offer "roll over data"!

I did not realize constant data stream interferes with band selection on a tower.

Now is this just a coincidence, or is vzw playing Marcelo a bit?

I think Verizon is definitely trying to snatch some low profit customers just for numbers...and with this Sprint transition, tmobiles poor coverage becoming more and more known...now is a great time.

Yeah if shopping as a new customer on Verizon's website, I get the $60 plan option too. That is very competitive for Verizon with their coverage...no compelling reason for a light data user to stick with Sprint or Tmobile. Now for a heavy data user, verizon and att prices are simply insane.

Sprint store is offline now...I guess the programmers working OT for the new plans!

Yeah but gives you some freedom to pay it off in a couple months if you want, or just go the whole 2 years. Once you pay it off you get the cheaper rates. I think have subsidized and unsubsidized plans on the same carrier creates confusion to consumers.

I think 2 year plans should be gone. I love the framily/easy pay concept, cheaper monthly rates, and you aren't "stuck" for 2 years.

My biggest wish list would be tether included with plans...and rename the stupid framily plans. Terrible marketing name.

The idiot CEO strikes

From twitter...@JohnLegere: To paraphrase @Sprint CEO's 1st employee meeting today:"Our network is terrible, so we're going to have to slash prices" #didthatjusthappen?

Here's some reporting about the townhall from Light Reading: http://www.lightreading.com/mobile/4g-lte/claure-tells-sprint-disrupt-on-price-first-be-the-best-network-next-/d/d-id/710357?

This is all looking very good! I really hope he starts using his twitter account too.

Sounds like he has some great plans, and they are acting on them ASAP.

Just speculation and wishes...(note: I'm on an 8 line framily plan now with several family members, we managed to merge them into one framily, got the right CSR apparently), but I really hope they add some tethering into the plans, as well as simplified ways to make the per line easier to understand. The framily was a good idea had it been done before market saturation, but now it's just hard to understand the purpose.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure there will be more than business account targeting. That isn't going to drive the turn around alone, that's for sure.

Any leaks related to that "town hall" meeting yet? Anxious to see what's coming up!

Update on White Marsh tower on Red Lion Rd

@sprintcare: @JoshMSr We apologize, but we're still working on the problem. The estimated time of repair is 08/15 by 11:30pm. Ticket#3435913. CXS

Would a Spark tri-band phone improve LTE coverage for Baltimore area very much?

Message from Sprint support regarding White Marsh, MD tower on Red Lion Rd

@sprintcare: @JoshMSr The outage is still open. The Estimated time of repair is 08/12/14 by 11:30pm. LTE upgrades are in process.Ticket#2609474.

I have a iPhone 5s so no band 41 :-(

The maps in the sponsor section just say 3G/800 for that area, am I misreading what that means?

White Marsh, MD is still awful. I have opened several tickets with Sprint support about it, they tell me one of the towers are offline right now (hopefully that means LTE!). 3G speeds on I-95 near White Marsh Blvd are just awful, can't even stream Spotify :-(
