    It should be but I cant find any confirmation.

    I also cant find anything as to what free unlimited texting really means. If Im in Mexico, and I text a Mexican cell number, is that free? The FAQ is very inadequate
  3. jamesinclair
    Does anybody know how one goes about ensuring that you can use the free data and not accidentally roam into paid data and texting?

    From my experience at the call center, this is how things worked: Press release sent out 9am Tech website report at 9:30am Internal reference website updated at 11am with press release and nothing else Customers begin calling."Uh, what are you asking about???? Oh, heres the release, we know as much as you do!" Internal email goes out at maybe 4pm if the supervisors have been getting a ton fo questions. Essentially links to internal page. Next day or so, internal reference website updated with actual details. Two weeks later, mandatory training on new feature or policy. Keep in mind any call centers reps are given zero free times to browse information on their own. If your shift starts at 9am, you need to be talking to a customer at 9:02am (the two minutes it to allow log in and opening of software).

    Yawn, what a disapointment. Its just another virtual network no one will talk about in 2 weeks.

    I bought this unit http://www.bestbuy.com/site/insignia-hd-radio-tabletop-radio-black/4635744.p?id=1218505477073 The speakers are crap, so I bought a standalone speaker set for it, and together it sounds fantastic. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0027VT6V4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Reception is fine. It actually comes with two antennas, the attached rod, and a string version that actually works better. Also, almost no cars come with HD Radio standard. You need to get the super expensive version of the line for them to make it standard. Its ridiculous

    I bought a home unit for my mom. The best part is that most HD-2 stations dont have ads. So she can listen to 2-3 stations with 24/7 music and a better selection than the FM channels. The problem is that because its digital, it is very hard to optimize antenna placement. With a regular radio, you move the antenna around and can tell if it gets better or worse. You cant do that with HD, you have to move, scan, move, scan...

    RE: Uncarrier delayed Is this all Marcelo's doing, or was it already in the cards and just took time? I mean, I think it's fair to say that features such as paying off ETFs and free global texting/data are a direct result of T-mobile doing it. The question is, was Hesse a roadblock preventing Sprint from adopting these kinds of policies (ie, thinking they were useless gimmicks), or did he ok them but it just took many moons to get them through?

    A couple of years ago, Georgia was in a serious drought. Many towns ran out of water and had to get daily deliveries. Same in texas. Las vegas is spending billions to build a "straw" to suck out the very last drop of Lake Mead.

    This is a really cool idea

    I love how the mall has the stock tile and wallpaper from the "dead and dying malls" catalog

    That seems to be the case, even though Mexico is very CDMA friendly. For a 2014 flagship model, this is very dissapointing, and from what I saw, the Sprint branding materials don't really mention the limitation. The Iphone 5s and Galaxy S4 added the feature without any issue, which is good. I look forward to using it.

    Just a word of warning: My dad was unable to use wifi calling in Mexico because it insisted he put in an address, and no matter how it was formatted, Sprint refused to accept it. Anyway, the free texting and limited internet is a killer app for my family. My only complaint is that it took so long after Tmobile did it, but it is fantastic that it is here now. Edit 1: This is odd... It has to be done on a line by line basis yes? I can do it for two lines but not my third. Ugh. Does this mean I have toc all Sprint? Edit 2: I hate the stupid phone system. Why do I have to listen to an ad about easy pay before even getting to the menu options? First agent said she couldnt do anything and would transfer me to international department. International department says theres no such thing as a new free roaming text and data plan and now Im on hold. Sigh. Edit 3: Ah shit, the Aquos is apparently not part of the Sprint free international roaming party. Fantastic.
  14. jamesinclair
    Whats this about free international data roaming? Is that coming to other plans?
  15. jamesinclair
    The negative press is not about him, he just comes up when named as a major investor in the future Miami team.
  16. jamesinclair
    Which IMO was a really bad plan. Who spends a lot of time at airports? Upper management and executives. Who gets to sign off/veto company-wide decisions on the corporate cell phone supplier? Upper management and executives. No service at airport = "Claudia, look into switching cell provider, NOW" A bad experience for Bob the VP could mean a loss of 700 corporate lines. Anyway, apparently Marcelo is at the center of a big MLS (Major League Soccer) press scandal this week? Nothing to do with Sprint, but interesting to see his name brought up.

    Fresno coverage is still completely broken. Still shows more spark coverage than sprint voice and 3g. Wut.
  18. jamesinclair
    Im just comparing the posting frequency here and in other forums I visit in relation to the S4 and S5.
  19. jamesinclair
    I just dont think theres any excitement about this model. For the hardcore, too many features were cut. For the casuals, theres nothing new and exciting to hook them. "Looks more like an iPhone" isnt a selling feature.
  20. jamesinclair
    Maybe hes with Putin?

    Dwindling tax base? Huh? Oakland is growing rapidly both in population and in commercial economy. 16,000 new residents in 3 years.

    So your needs are different. Great. But who are you to say what my needs are? I need an SD card slot (not negotiatble), a removeable battery (not negotiatble), and water proof (highly desireable). I will not buy the S6, period. Also, the removeable battery isnt to carry around extras, but to switch out after a year when it stops holding a charge well. Ive owned an S2 and an S4, and my family has had the S1 and S3. Samsung batteries are garbage. And this is the wrong thread for this.
  23. jamesinclair
    I dont want design, I want features. I want waterproof, removable battery and SD card. The GS6 is of no interest to me at all.
  24. jamesinclair
    Got it, so next time Im on the subway Ill toggle airplane mode. I assumed I was getting the Galaxy 6, but the reveal was a massive disapointment for me, so I have to wait and see what the phone world looks like come September. I was near Times Square yesterday and while my friend on AT&T could not get websites to load, I was flying along with Sprint 4G. She was making fun of me for the poor service I experienced at Prospect Park.
  25. jamesinclair
    What do you mean, doesn't losing the signal completely mean my phone will try for 4G when I get to my destination? No, it doesn't but I'm 6 months away from my upgrade.
