Sobering news...

 

http://recode.net/2015/09/26/sprint-wont-be-participating-in-next-years-wireless-auction-says-it-has-plenty-of-spectrum/

I think John should check himself because DT isn't exactly throwing cash his way for the 600 MHz spectrum auction. Sprint doesn't really need it, no matter how many arm chair CEO's in here we have that really wouldn't know propagation if it fell on there heads.

Just imagine what the magenta squad is saying right now. Pretty shade of red in there faces.

With all the hubbub about PRLs, RootMetrics and Star Wars toys, nobody noticed this press release

I did, just didn't have time to mention myself from yesterday, Sprint tweeted it.​

Welp.....start freaking out then:

In this case he was referring to Sprint.

Quick question... as I mentioned on another thread, I have a family share plan with 20 gb and have the promotion that added another 20 gb (Was supposed to be 2gb per line) that adds up to a total of 40 gb. My understanding is that the additional 20 gb was a promotion that is supposed to go away? Anyone know when those additional gbs are due to go away?

Good question, because I started it in September of last year when this came about, I'll let you know if I don't see it on my next bill, but I haven't gone over 10gb between 2 phones

I wonder if people who go off on a tangent about signal reception inside a building ever consider the materials used in the making of a building that they are in. Some buildings these days act like faradays' cage in that signals don't get in and out to well, so before you go blasting whoever, think about that.

No actually, this thread is full of dynamite and gasoline, just waiting for someone to come in with a lit match and light it off.

You all should come to Baltimore!

I use to go to Baltimore to Hammerjacks. Now the only thing I do in Baltimore is pass thru it going up to New Jersey.​

Sprint still has there campus in Reston, Va serving the Government IT sector, so as for major metropolitan areas, Sprint is in one.

You know what is funny, the 4 major metro areas he mentioned have something in common he failed to realise. High unemployment and high crime too. And if you look really close, you might find out some of the good paying jobs moved out of California into less costly places to do business like Texas and Virginia. For example, take a drive along the Dulles Toll/Access road between Tysons and Herndon, and you will understand why they call it the Dulles Tech Corridor. Even VW/Audi moved there HQ out of California into Virginia.

I can personally say, from my standpoint being on EasyPay for 1 and a half years now and having the current plan I have now in which I started on Framily when it came out and moved over to Family Share 20gb plan. All of it I may say under no contract except in paying off the phone. I see myself never going back to a contract plan. So the person on everything data that is panicking, you are doing it all for nothing. Heck with a lease on a iPhone with unlimted data, you looking at $82. a month and if you go the family share route, lease or easy pay, you still be better off.

And I'm paying $100 on 40 GB that Sprint gave me on there 20gb family share plan which has hot spot and tethering.

I read somewhere today that Verizon's VoLTE usage is half of what T-Mobile's is. Now what kind of numbers is that I don't know.

Sitting at Dulles this morning deep in the concrete jungle of the offices doing my badge renewal at the airport, I'm on my phone taking a call having only band 25 on my Ativ S Neo, showing 3 bars on the signal, while some T-Mobile users couldn't use there phones at all. I say 600 MHz would be a waste of time going after. Maybe not for the others, but for Sprint, waste of time and money. If I can get a decent signal with that much concrete and steel surrounding me and watching some T-Mobile users suffer. Then all is good.

You do know that Jump on Demand has been shown to have hidden cost right? the more you jump, the more it will cost you.

I haven't heard anything on this for awhile. I still hope Sprint won't sell any of their 2.5Ghz spectrum

Verizon had there chance when they were a Wimax partner before it got underway and then they poopooed it, now they have to think up of things to come up with something new. Hey karma really bites and hindsight can be worse.

I just happened to stumble across this site and was amazed at the hate being spewed...

 

 

If you want to keep your sanity, stay away from that site far away, it isn't sprintusers any more, it has become troll bait and abusers. Take my word, it isn't worth the pain going there.

Let's see, just reported the Samsung Note 5 and S6 Edge + had made a appearance at the FCC for Sprint, and AT&T is jacking up some rates in which you can see here. http://crackberry.com/att-said-be-introducing-activation-fee-next-and-byod-customers-raising-upgrade-fee-august-1

Yes I'm still showing the 40gb on my account.

But for $100, Sprint gives you family share 20gb which has hotspot and tethering included plus if you get a corporate discount with sprint in which mine is 23%, my bill for 2 phones is $107 a month. It's already there, you just have to take the time and pay attention and look.

Well the usual detractors are appearing in there too.

Funny part, while you people groaning and moaning. The stock is up 8%. So stop crying.

Yep, and the insurance is $8/month, which is only $2 less.

 

The other dumb part is your paying the same price for a lease as you would on EIP, but for only an 18 month term. Sprint's option makes a lot more sense being a 24 month lease with lower monthly cost. It's more akin to a car lease.

Also don't forget the part where if the phone isn't in perfect condition, there is a additional $250 dollars that you will have to pony up, no nicks, no scratches, no broken screens, nothing missing. It is in the fine print.
