These fees really should just be baked into the mrc for whatever plans they sell. I get having sales/local/911 fees separate but little administrative charges like this always irritate me no matter who the service provider is (phone, cable, gas/electric etc).

I agree, but I also understand why they do it. It gives the illusion that their plans are "cheaper" by about $5/month. Taxes and fees for my plan add about another 10% to the total monthly cost. If ARPU is $50 and taxes and fees are an estimated $5 per month. For 60 million subs, that's $300 million per month, or $3.6 billion per year. Respect to TMUS.

Increased from $1.99/month/line. Sprint is lacking in my area, so this is a good opportunity to jump ship. This is just a PSA for people that don't comb over their monthly billing statements in detail (I certainly don't). I think it's been 4-5 years since the last increase. I've suffered with Sprint's subpar CS, coverage, and speed for over 10 years now and the value proposition just isn't worth suffering any longer.

Administrative Charge Increase Effective with this bill, the Admin. Charge has increased to $2.50/month/line for customers subject to the charge. You may cancel the Sprint service(s) directly or indirectly affected by this change without incurring an early termination fee. To cancel, dial *2 within 30 days.

I also confirmed with Sprint chat to cover my ass when inevitably I'm charged an ETF when I port out. Check if you still carry a balance on your phone before canceling service.

Sherry T. : While we value their business and would like to retain these customers, should a customer decide to cancel their Service Agreement because of the Administrative Charge they will not be charged an early termination fee, if applicable; however, customers will remain responsible for any outstanding installment billing or lease payments, including any applicable Purchase Price Option.

Sherry T. : Sorry for the confusion earlier. That means that early termination fees are waived however the remaining balances of the phones under agreement will not be waived.

Is that with open world or global roaming?

Global Roaming.

It's fairly unusable depending on your level of patience. I was frustrated even using Uber. Loading any websites with even basic images are a pain as well.

It's okay mainly to check up on email.

Actually, I think TT is Avea, not Turkcell.

Is Trump CEO of Sprint now?

Spring a last minute, ill-advised surprise on people, and then walk it back once you realize it was a bad idea? 

Was in Portland this weekend, was able to finally experience B26 on my MXPE, having an active connection indoors was awesome but sometimes it would drop to 3G in older buildings which was no big deal. 3CA is also enabled. Compared to 2CA in Orange County and Inland Empire, data seems to be a big faster when loading sites. My friends on T-mobile were struggling with full bars on their Iphones, their instagram feed wouldn't even load. 

Are you in the right thread? I thought the MXPE doesn't work with Sprint CA.

Rocking the 128gb 7+ right now....

 

Need this app on my phone asap!

Great app. I hope the developer finds some time to continue to work on it.

I saw some previous posts mentioning the widget being broken in 9.x, but it works for me?

Thanks Nahum.

It'll work on BYOD.

Eligible devices - Coming Soon:

Samsung Galaxy S7 Special Edition

Samsung Galaxy S7 edge Special Edition

Moto G4

Moto G4 Plus

What I'm interested to know is if CA will work properly. Or if it'll be nerfed like the Moto X PE. Also 2x or 3x CA?

That is a pretty busy area. Do you know if you were on Clear B41 or Sprint B41? In some cases, the Clear B41 still doesn't have the appropriate backhaul yet. 

Sorry, I don't know for sure.

Are you able to tell from the PLMN? It's 311-870. The majority of the time I see 310-120 around here.

It's possible you may not have been using CA at this moment. Although it's possible, 99% of the time the PCC and SCC PCI's are the same since you're generally using CA on the same sector of the same site. The SCC fields on LG engineering screens tends to get stuck, so when it disconnects, it still shows data there even though it's not connected. The only way to know for sure it's connected is if the RSRP numbers are updating on both the PCC and SCC fields.

 

Where was this test done? It's also possible there was just a lot of traffic in the area.

I see. I didn't know that. Thanks.

Midtown St. Louis. Right after I tested, I checked the engineering screen again and it showed primary/secondary of 375/375, going along with what you mentioned.

i have this phone and CA works with it. however unless you get a really great deal on it i would stay away from this phone. its just "all right" not amazing by any means and still has lag that gets worse as time goes on. basically you have to factory reset every 4 to 6 months to keep acceptable performance.

I see this is reported to have 2x CA, but haven't seen screenshots or confirmation of CA in this thread. Can one of y'all owners confirm CA is working well? Thinking about picking up a used model. Thanks.

Does anyone notice a slight memory leak in the stock 5.0.2 rom? Signalcheck pro and pandora and chrome keep closing itself.

FP says this is a prepaid PRL. I'm getting it on a postpaid Aquos Crystal. I hope my roaming isn't cut off.

Edit: Okay... Update PRL put it back on 25023.

No Service -> 1x -> 3G -> B26. I've been sending Twitter DMs with @SprintCare and the mobile tower never made it out; further, the tower that serves the stadium was not yet repaired, as was forecast last week.

 

I try to be positive with Sprint progress. NV has been awesome in a lot of areas... But the stadium/downtown has been a hot mess for as long as I've been a Sprint subscriber with a smartphone.

Edit 3:

 

Ah shit, the Aquos is apparently not part of the Sprint free international roaming party. Fantastic.

I'm guessing because the Aquos doesn't work on GSM bands?

What are your other phones?

You are able to add the free international data on SERO plan?  If so what do you have to do?

 

EDIT:  I was able to find the International Value Roaming option  under "Change my Services" on my account.  Thanks again Sprint.

Where did you find it?  It doesn't show up for my account.

What band were you on when you took this test? My guess is B25. Also where were you when you took this test?

B25 was roughly the same down speed, but slower upload. Couldn't get B41 in the building. Near Compton/Olive <1 block from Pappy's.

Sprint bragging on on the RootMetrics results

Downtown/midtown has similar LTE speeds during daylight hours.

In the recent past, Hangouts/Voice integration used a link to send MMS images instead of sending the image directly over the network. Has that been fixed?

It's infinitely better than it was in August. Another month or so before it can be announced, but now that there's plenty of B26, SF is a much better place.
