After looking at this, Sprint's LTE coverage map have "shrunk" because it is covering significantly less now than originally projected. I'll need to go into Wayback machine and compare new Jacksonville to prior Jacksonville map.
-
By that logic, Framily should technically be in the same category. As the offer was originally created for friends and family, not some dude on /r/SprintFramily.

I don't have access to Twitter atm so I can't check if this is real or not, but I thought it was pretty funny. -
Rude!

I think the way T-Mobile should have handled it is to send an SMS to ALL subscribers that were opted in and allow them to enable/disable it by texting BINGEON ON or BINGEON OFF. Leave the setting in account settings too, but utilizing sms as a means to conveniently turn it on/off would be a better alternative. Most people leave don't opt out of opt in stuff so I understand T-Mobile's stance towards enabling it by default.
-
Maybe they're projecting future coverage within the next 6 months.
-
At my workplace, all of the carriers, except AT&T are 3G-only. AT&T definitely works better with businesses, from my experience. Our employee discounts are also ridiculous through AT&T.
-
Sprint's unlimited data family plan is more expensive than both AT&T's and T-Mobile's now. I'd expect them to create an offer that's equal or maybe slightly better ($180/4 lines, or $160/4 lines but with a lease required per line.)
-
I predicted this would happen. Just as you said, they've been losing the most postpaid phone subscribers for the last few quarters. If they're wanting to pass Verizon, they'll need to offer some type of incentive. I still predict Verizon will eventually bring back unlimited, but it'll be outrageously expensive.

Sprint's map is exaggerated still in my area. Haha Sent from my Nexus 5X

Wish it had actual Mbps speeds instead of a chart averaging certain percentages. Sent from my Nexus 5X

Looks like Best Buy still has 2Yr upgrades available. Hopefully that stays for now. The 2yr pricing on legacy plans is always amazing @ BBY.

How's RF performance on the 6S/6S+ relative to a Nexus 5?
Ascertion replied to wifi_n's topic in Apple/iPhone/iOS
All of my android phones seem to drop B26 when it hits anything lower than -115dBm. It just doesn't want to hold onto it then. Wish there was a setting to let the phone favor 4G over 3G, because that -115dBm LTE signal can and will be faster than a stronger 3G signal in most cases. -
The deductible is what really kills it for me. BestBuy used to have the $10 accidental protection plan and it was awesome because there was no deductible. Supposedly, this caused a lot of customers to not handle their phones with care and BestBuy discontinued it I think when the galaxy S4 came out. If you smash your screen, you're going to be out $200 whether you pay for TEP or not. TEP is only worth it if you have your phone stolen in the first few months, otherwise the cost per month doesn't justify the protection.
-
I get very annoyed when I decline TEP during an in-store upgrade and find that TEP and Outlook Premium has been added to my line. I guarantee that they do not get my business again when they do that (per store basis, that is.) Luckily, a new "Sprint-Shack" that has opened near me has honest employees so I've been going there since it opened for my Sprint needs.
-
Arrgghhhh, I've been waiting two quarterly results and now this and we still haven't heard anything specific. So vague, Sprint. I'd rather see what's planned, even if some things are delayed.
-
Tarek said the Q3 numbers look good, but wouldn't be any more descriptive than that. I had to get off the stream early, did he mention anything about NGN?
-
John's reaction to any criticism is literally "Who's paying you?" He's starting to sound more like Fabian as the day goes on.
-
Sprint's currently at 58.6M customers, as of Q3 2015. I wonder if they hit 60M by the end of 2015. Some quarters, Sprint has pulled over 1M customers. I wonder how well they did this time. We may find that out today, but more than likely, it'll be announced at the next quarterly earnings call.
-
Man, I think 4GB is more than enough, but I'm on a 1080p screen running 2GB on a Nexus, with literally no bloat, aside from Google's Apps. I wouldn't mind 8GB, but I think it's too soon to expect manufacturers to put that much ram into a compact size.
-
Whyyy is the stock crashing so hard this week?
-
I'm digging the 3K battery. I wonder how it'll fair though. If it's anything like the Note 5, we have nothing to worry about. I'm curious about the AMOLED and if they've made any additional improvements since the last model. I personally prefer LCD due to the lack of screen-burn, but AMOLED is very pretty and the colors/blacks are perfect imo.
-
I haven't seen the video yet but if he really says that, then he has the same mindset as the Vzw CEO. "You don't need this." Sent from my Nexus 5X
-
Well, the new unlimited plan has 3GB of included tethering. Of course, this doesn't affect us on legacy plans, but it is still something that Sprint's enabling for future customers.
-
I'm actually quite impressed with T-Mobile's network expansion too. They've done ridiculously well and exceeded my expectations. I don't think they met the 2015 coverage they were looking for (geographically speaking), but they did hit their POPs covered (maybe). There's a lot of their map that is incorrect and exaggerates, but all of the carriers do this to an extent. Regardless, I'm kind of glad T-Mobile is as successful as it is, or Sprint wouldn't have offered me global roaming, or other things like no more overages, included tethering on unlimited plans, and other nice freebies.
