From the lease I saw no serial number or IMEI is on the lease. Just model. So I am guessing as long as you turn a phone in that is the same model on the lease it is ok. So for example if you have applecare and they replace the phone for a broken screen it looks like you are ok. It would be no different then Sprint Insurance if they replace the phone.

11 or $13 a month is kind of expensive especially when you're going to fork up about $200 as a deductible. Out of warranty costs for Apple at the Apple Store are very similar and you do not pay 11 or $13 a month. Again the only difference I see is lost or theft.

Since there was some confusion because of how Sprint described the lease on the website, here is some clarification from the actual lease document regarding early termination. Basically if you terminate the lease early, you will owe the balance of lease payments remaining. If you return the phone that will be the only fee you have to pay. If you do not return the phone, you will pay the remaining lease payments AND the purchase option price. The purchase option price is the price you would pay at the end of the lease if you wanted to keep the phone. That price for the 64GB iPhone 6 is $200. Obviously it would make more sense to just turn the phone in at the end of the lease rather then pay that to keep it. If you want to keep the phone after two years or don't think you can fulfill the lease, do easy pay. Also it is obviously very advisable that if you do the lease or easy pay you should probably carry some type of insurance coverage on your device. Really no different then a car lease.

 

In regards to the insurance, I am wondering if I were to break or crack my screen and half Apple replace the phone for the out of warranty cost, which I believe is around 200. With that fulfill sprints agreement for the lease?

The only plus for the tep is lost or theft.

They should go back to that ad campaign where they had people talking on the phone misunderstanding what the other was saying. I think it was an ad for how clear the PCS network was. Now it could be an ad for HD voice. I remember things like "I said 'pick up soup from the store' not 'a soap opera star!' !

 

Anyone else remember that?

 

 

I do remember and those were very creative. I like those.

Just wanted to give you guys a heads up. On friday I upgraded my Wife's line to the iPhone 6 and did the iPhone for Life lease. We are on Framily and when checking my acct today noticed the $15 Framily service fee on her line. We had never had that fee before. Apparently their system saw the lease as a discounted upgrade. Took a 25 min chat with a rep to get the fee removed. So if you are on Framily and do iPhone for Life watch your acct.

Similar issue.

We have 5 lines on the family share data plan 20gb.

Upgraded 2 lines to iphone for life and noticed a 25 dollar charge for discounted phones added for the 2 lines. Called sprint, they cleared it up and credited the account back to the start of my billing period. They showed it was added to the account when I went to the share data and removed but re added last week for some reason.

He determined it was invalid and fixed the account.

Also said I selected the unlimited individual plans for the 2 iphone for life upgrade plans, and once I get the phones and activate to call sprint so they can move those 2 lines back over to the family share with the other 3 lines.

Even if they did, Sprint beat them to the punch. This fight is getting interesting!

Oh crap, that brings back memories of Aol Instant Messenger in my HS and college days!

Yes, this is exactly what I thought when I saw the letters ASL.

What is ASL?

Account spending limit.

I went to a Sprint store today and there were more employees working than people in the store! Wanted to upgrade to the M8, but since when does the account holder need to be present for that? My last upgrade didn't need that! I said I'll just do it online I guess, and then left

I did an upgrade and return without the account holder. I'd say that's strange too.

Yes download booster was enabled but.. it only works with wifi and.. it doesn't work with sprint. I found a way to enable it but never got it to work.

That speed is legit and pure band 41 in North Denver. Westminster to be specific. Yea... sprint spark is awesome.

Since I moved from the 5s to the s5. No complaints. Pretty solid LTE in my area.

Magenta can suck it!

Finally.

Why isnt the single band GS4 compatible?

Wow.. this definitely competes with tmobiles international calling plans for the most part. This is pretty big. 

I know the information is buried somewhere in preceding posts, but when does the sign-up/conversion period end? And, if you have phones/hotspots on 2-year contracts, the total charge per phone is only $15/$20 under a converted plan, as long as you add a line & device on easy pay, regardless of where you are on the 2-year contracts? If true, I would save almost $100/month even after adding the new line. It just sounds too good.

The $15 vs $40 per line is something I've seen other people reporting that Sprint is doing. It is a nice savings for people moving a bunch of lines like you did. Have you tried out the hotspot at all?

So yesterday, I went to a Sprint store, as my account is on the ED 1500 with 5 lines. 2 of the lines, mine and my wife's showed they are eligible for a easy pay upgrade. So I upgraded both lines from the iPhone 5s to the Galaxy s5 and switched the account over to the Sprint Share 20GB. All the lines are now charged 15 ea for access fee, and received 2GB each additional for 1 year.

I did not have to put any down payment. They do not run your credit if you are an existing customer, it appears its based off the status of the account and if you pay your bill on time. Good to know.

Once the at line burns through the 2GB that month, the data comes out of the bucket.  The 3 lines that were not eligible for easy pay, still got the 15 access fee, instead of the 40. Strange, but no complaints.  Hotspot is included, comes out of your shared data. 

Before I was paying 240 for 5 lines. Now 229 W/ the payments of the phones. Once those are paid off.. it will drop over 50. You can pay down your phone quicker if you want, which I plan to do. They said we can turn in our iPhones for a credit, we can put towards the bill, or the payments on the new phones. 

Not too bad. Also, I get a 25% discount from work, which should cover the taxes.

I wanted to share my experience in case anyone was still wondering, 

So, I am still on the ED 1500. I have five lines on my account, and two of those are eligible which one of those I am using. If I use one of the sprint easy pay upgrades, do they run a credit check? Or is that just for new customers?

I called sprint today, and they said that I would have to upgrade to a new line to switch over to the family share plan.

Sprint just released a 15 second spot for the family plan.

I don't think you're saying this, but let me comment from my own mind about it. When Verizon was doing the can you hear me now commercials it was all about voice and voice only. Voice is no longer the selling point in advertisements. I do think Sprint can spin off this idea and start doing commercials in weird places showing people watching Youtube videos, posting to Twitter/Facebook and watching WatchESPN. Like on top of mountains or etc etc.

 

One thing they lost out on where AT&T slammed is how AT&T are doing commercials with the network people installing small cells in all types of places. They could have done something like that to say that they're building Network Vision in places you need it.

Bingo!

This was exactly what I thinking too. Show the network being built from the ground up, using services like Sprint Direct Connect, and how you will not experience fewer dropped calls, faster data, and HD Voice on Americas Network.

BGR, was once a great publication.

 

Agree now its a muck raker

Techno Buffalo is not much better either. They use to be a lot better in the previous years. Now the comment section is full of trolls. I use to like the verge, but they have gotten very political. 

I think Durango is a CenturyLink backhaul market. That's typically not good news.

Anytime centurylink is in the mix, it's bad news. Lol

The dropped call issue should be correcting itself from north to south this month and over the next several weeks. The speeds... Well it'll take a bit more widespread LTE deployment to fix that. Also, as sites come online, speeds might not be what you'd expect. It'll take some time for the number of live sites to catch up to the number of users.

 

Hopefully the next iPhone will support Band 41. If not that, it will support Band 26 which is also going live in Denver. Band 26 brings better in building and distance coverage thanks to the lower frequency. The speeds are the same as those on Band 25, max of 37.5Mbps.

I would like to see band 41 on the iPhone 6 and I do believe we will see it. Though I am still happy to have band 26 on the 5s, with, just as you said better building penetration.

drive up to thornton and northglenn you will be connected to lte with no problem and will stay connected for awhile.

 

I love it.

True.

I rarely see 3G here anymore.

I wouldn't think that's something that would be limited to one OS or another. The info should come from the site you're connected to, no kind of info needs to be pulled from the phone, which would then cripple the Apple version of the app. Maybe I'm misunderstanding how Signal Check determines the carrier you're connected to.

 

Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

It would be limited because is the OS. Signal check is not available in the iOS App Store. Sensorly is limited on iOS as well, due to the OS closing off certain API's needed. So that's why, if he was using signal check... It makes sense. While I prefer iOS, it has it's faults compared to android.

Sent from my iPhone 5s using Tapatalk

Signal Check app probably. It tells you who you are connected to.

Ah okay, so it's specific only to android. Makes sense.

Roaming on Cricket 1xRTT and Sprint is showing 20+ hits for being out from foco to pueblo in the last few hours. Is this just an outage? Thoughts feelings opinions?

How were you able to see if your were roaming on cricket, and not Verizon ?

Pulse check? Did this thread die because everyone is getting their motorcycle out and tuned up for the year?

Yep. Just like David said... The Colorado sponsor thread is pretty hot. Good stuff though.
