At some point, Sprint added every country in South America to Open World (unlimited talk, text, 1gb data) Caribbean is a bit sparse, with only DR included.

Im sure Im late on this, but in case Im not...

Maybe Sprint will be in better position if Softbank can use ARM to demand more phones come to Sprint. "10 cent discount on every chip if you release an exclusive iPhone 7 Active on Sprint"

I know for a fact Myanmar wasnt a partner 2 weeks ago, I checked

Random question: Data here has been really slow the past two weeks. Feels like a tower is out. Does using sprint zone to report actually help?

I was sent here from the Central Valley thread. I was in Yosemite last week and I could text but not get any data while roaming. I had previously used data in the same locations without issue. I am using a Galaxy S7. I keep getting the failed message, however I ensured my roaming data was on

Is this being discussed in any thread in particular?

I was in Yosemite last week, and places where I would get roaming data no longer worked. I could send texts but access zero data. Any idea what changed?

My speeds in New Brunswick have really slowed down over the past 2 weeks

I dont know Spints process, but what we usually do is as part of a routine survey we ask people if they would be interested in participating in a focus group for some compensation for their time. If they want to, they leave their contact info. Of the 1,000 people who say yes, maybe 20 actually agree to show up at the required date and time. They then sign off on waivers concerning their rights to privacy and such. Obviously having a room full of cameras completely changes the dynamic vs a fully private and anonymous discussion. The filmed conversation is probably not valuable at all.

Yes this. I would bet large sums of money that like Verizon, there is zero communication between what the call centers hear and HQ. You can have 1,000 people on the same day call in about the same issue, but unless its a tech failing (network down) that stat never gets reported to HQ.

You should read up on the subject http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-35296993 But regardless, calling your potential customers poor is not a good thing

Thats what some people have a hard time grasping. Marketing is about winning people over. Not insulting them. If youre not offended, great. But if youve just insulted a group of people - potential customers - thats a very bad thing. The industry is at the point where there arent really any new customers. Everyone has a phone. Youre stealing people from other companies. Insulting potential customers is bad. Generating headlines where youre the bad guy is even worse. Sprint does not need bad headlines right now

I actually read about it on a completely unrelated forum. Every comment was negative against the ad. Thats what brought it to my attention. If you go to http://www.theverge.com/ it's actually their lead story (Disclaimer: The Verge is no longer a good tech website).

Sprint is receiving a wave of bad press on its newest ad featuring Marcelo. http://www.theverge.com/2016/4/12/11418642/sprint-calls-tmobile-ghetto-exceptionally-tasteless-ad The ad has already been pulled, but it was a very poor choice to run that quote, out of the thousands they probably could have picked from. Sprint doesnt need bad press right now on something that very very easilly could have been avoided.

Can you clarify this? I upgraded on Saturday at Best Buy and was told 36 would appear on my next bill

That doesnt really work in this industry "Sure we'll waive the activation fee" *1 month later, activation fee on bill* *call customer care* "I am sorry you were told the activation fee would be waived, we cant do that"

News from Verizon

Well, for the first time in my life I have broken a phone. Slipped out of my hand and landed on the edge. Not only did the screen crack, but the LCD is apparently completely busted. I deeply regret getting the edge. The gimmick was useless and it resulted in a drop being fatal to the phone rather than being an inconvenience. Back to my single band S4 for now.

Anyone here withe experience using Global Roaming in Thailand?

What kind of fraud? If your name is on an authorized user list, you can show ID, and you know the pin, I dont see what problem could exist

According to reddit, Sprint has stopped allowing authorized users to upgrade in store, account holder now required. Thats bad news

Open World

Yup, same for us, it would be my sister but she has a credit on it

22 month lease?
