The solution isn't viable for Sprint at the moment, so for all intents and purposes it may as well not exist.

I know what you mean, my wife and family all have iPhones as well. As for phone calls, it varies on every user though. I talk to my wife on the phone for a few minutes here or there, otherwise it's primarily over messaging since we're both at work. Sometimes we'll just use Facetime Audio if messaging is that important. Also, Maps works offline so the directions will still keep going while a call is in session. The more dangerous moment is having to leave the call screen to go find the Maps icon to switch back. One of the reasons why I'm replacing my car radio with a Car Play/Android Auto supported unit.

I'm well aware of that, as I've worked in the industry for 13 of said 17 years. My point is that people find a reason to complain about something every day, and soon as Sprint solves that one complain, they just move down the list.

You get that automatically with iPhone Forever, and I believe they already have an option to pay more per month and get annual upgrades already.
-
There it is, PCS B Block LTE carrier!

Early upgrade for what?

Anyone who has used Sprint ever knows the limitations in voice and data. 17 years now as a customer and I've never found the need to use voice and data at the same time. That's my personal experience, but is still valid.
-
Sprint has repeatedly said that NGN and other projects will continue to get worked on without press releases every 30 seconds. 30 new small cells in NYC without a press release is excellent work.

I use Skype for Business and Facetime Audio, which are both OTT applications over a data session, and really don't see the value to be honest. Out of all the complaints that people have about Sprint, 1x voice coverage is the least of them.

No, no, and more no. Marcelo is the right man for the job, in more ways than a lot will ever know.

2 year subsidy phone upgrades early warning info
Deval replied to dkyeager's topic in General Topics
The older family plans had a line access charge of $20 per line, which was eliminated with the Unlimited Freedom plans. Now it's simple. -
I'd love to see a picture of that temp site.
-
Doubtful, none of the antennas are at surface level.
-
Could be a new small cell.
-
Got an address?
-
Any proof on NV 1.0 not finished in its entirety? Perhaps there are at most 1-5% of the total sites left. Also who said they stopped the 2.5 deployment?
-
Also offloads macro coverage onto the small cell for people walking in the street so more capacity exists for inbuilding coverage.

Got an address?

Samsung is slowly shutting down some of their redundant programs for better direction in the future with less bloatware. With the Note7 they took 4 discreet applications and merged them into Samsung Notes.

To be honest, I don't think you are a drain on Sprint, not in that regard. No one thinks that of any customer. The challenge becomes at what point does Sprint make a move which makes the best sense for them? A few years ago T-Mobile had 100% of their subscribers on subsidy plans, and pulled the plug overnight on their customer base. Every customer who walked into a store looking to upgrade was told to switch to newer plans or finance their devices. At least Sprint is giving customers an option by letting them continue to keep their subsidies for as long as possible. At a certain point there won't be any options other than Unlimited Freedom and IB/lease for devices. At that point the customers who want to stay will hang on, and others will jump ship if they want to pay more for their services. -
This is the problem, all the stuff you mentioned makes the world more complex. The industry shifting to a simple plan rate card, and the carrier introducing traffic shaping to keep their networks up and running.
-
Change the plan lol
-
The problem is that point of reference has no real world basis to it. Picking an arbitrary number doesn't work because there is significant additional cost considerations in picking MRCs.
-
It's a grey area, all Sprint has to do is not offer premium upgrades and it becomes the norm that you'll get network side compression unless you're on WIFI. That's the only way to stop the network from being crippled by people who refuse to pay for home internet or spend their entire work day watching Netflix instead of working.
-
Yeah and Sprint made the same right call. The price is right for many existing customers as well.
