Robert had written a post providing advice to Marcelo when he first came onboard.

I searched through the different threads and couldn't find it.

It would be interesting to see if Marcelo owes Robert millions of dollars for the advice he provided.

I think its more of a site layout item more than a logo change.

If they put the old logo in there they would have to shrink the text and image to show both. It just wouldn't look right.

It makes sense to buy back more of your own company "on the cheap"; much better practice than many companies that buy back shares when their stock price is already inflated. I do want to know how close Softbank will get to the 85% ownership threshold.

 

Right now, SoftBank's open market purchases of Sprint have put a $4 floor on the stock price. Next desired announcement is that Marcelo Claure also bought millions more shares.

Claure is a bag holder right now. He already demonstrated he believes in a turn around by buying millions of dollars worth of shares.

I've started getting Band 41 showing up in the Edinburg area around UT-Pan American.  Also in the McAllen are around South Texas College.  Anyone else seen anything?

I havent tested it in Edinburg but I have picked up B41 on old 83 and parts of 10th street in McAllen.

Alright, I posted that above link, but it hasn't shown fully on here with a description in it, so I'll describe it here.

 

The article on ARS Technica states that Comcast is not interested in buying T-Mobile. So, hopefully they won't do so after all.

It says "A source familiar with Comcast's thinking" that's too funny...

So we could all be d-bags and say we are familiar with how Dish thinks...

DT wants to get rid of T-Mobile altogether, so Comcast looks more attractive to them than Dish.  Dish has spectrum it needs to deploy and if they lose T-Mobile they won't have much leverage when negotiating with other wireless carriers to build/host a network.  Comcast and Dish are competitors so I don't think Comcast wants to help Dish with their build out requirements.  I wonder how it will all play out.

Ergen will be left with two choices... partner with Sprint or Verizon.

I doubt they would go with AT&T now due to the Directv tie up, and T-Mobile is out of the picture for now.

I had questioned Masa/Claure's agenda in not doing a full partnership with Dish but now it seems that they have the upper hand.

Interesting.  Can Dish afford to get in a bidding war with Comcast?  And even if they decide to do so and win, Comcast will drive up the price like when Dish drove up the price of Clearwire for Sprint.

I don't think there will be a bidding war. DT stated that Dish only wanted to buy a part and they are hoping Comcast will buy the whole enchilada.

Not sure how old this is but I will leave this here.

I think Dish/Sprint partnership is still a possibility. Not sure what's going on behind the scenes to keep this from happening.

I had problems until I setup the sprint router. No issues at home anymore

Just catching up on the rumors...

I find it hard to believe that Marcelo/Masa would let Charlie walk away.

They were already partners in the TD-LTE fixed wireless program.

Hopefully it is just that they now have confidence in their plan and feel that they don't have to bend over backwards for Ergen.

Maybe that trial didn't pan out as planned and Sprint felt they were getting a raw deal and did not want to expand it.

Rep wanted to send me the airave. Explained for like 5 minutes that it was a different product . Read her the item # and no luck. She was going to transfer to telesales so I hung up.

I had the same issues yesterday. I thought it was the other person having problems but it was the iPhone using wi-fi calling.

People complained about a fast busy tone when they tried to call me as well.

I have been using it for a month or so...

I almost lost my place as I ignored the email and they only give you a few days (three) to complete the registration.

I did not have to refer anyone...

The only thing I don't like is that I cant remove an account that I already verified.

I linked it with a Wells Fargo checking account but now I can't remove it.

Marcelo tweeted about a good time with Carlos Slim. Wonder if they talked wireless?

It probably means a free refurbished EVO LTE/Galaxy Nexus on a two year contract or something lol

actually last time they gave iPhones for like 99 cents or something along those lines.

This was for iDen to CDMA migrations

More layoffs planned...

Good luck to all our Sprint employees on this board.

Wow that is awesome news. I know there were a few members asking for an update on this and now we have it. Can't wait till it rolls out in additional locations.

Heard from an employee q1 2015 for wifi calling.

Interesting.... Son said he wanted to dominate the world...

It is night and day to how it was this time last year. Although there are some areas like in McAllen (10th and Dove) that do not have LTE at all. Then we have areas that never got off the ground (Palmview). The Palmview area shows LTE when driving on Exp 83 (I2) but data is unusable.

I think Sprint is missing out on an opportunity in their plans. As T-Mobile and AT&T have moved to data limits with throttling afterwards it has shielded those customers from worrying about potential overages. Even Ting has this type of system in place to prevent people from racking up a huge data charge. With Sprint Family Share you are still subject to overages which can add up if someone blows through an HD netflix movie etc. It would be nice to specify how much data per line and then either turn off data or throttle data to that line after that amount mostly because many people don't realize how much data certain activities uses. Does anyone here have the family share plan yet? Are there software tools to limit data per line or is it a free for all like it used to be?

Just checked AT&T and I don't see where they "shield" you from overages.

 

 

Additional data: $20/300MB on 300MB plan, $20/500MB on $25/per mo. 1GB plan (available as of 3/30/14), $15/1GB on retired $45/per mo. 1GB plan, and $15/1GB on all other plans.

 

 

Looks like charlie is going after tmo now.http://m.seekingalpha.com/article/2452305-dish-moving-beyond-pay-television?source=email_rt_article_readmore&app=1&uprof=51

 

 

And att or Tmo buying freedompop???

Seekingalpha are opinion based. No facts other than when some numbers are posted but even at that they can be skewed at times.

Super disappointed in Sprint today. I went into the corporate store to sign up and the process was a mess. First I had to setup the account and then verify a zero balance with sprint from 15 months ago when I left for Ting. The verification took 45 minutes. Once that was done I was then informed by the manager that because I am on Ting I am not eligible for the waived port in fee. So over an hour and 15 mins for nothing.

 

Apparently I am still considered a Sprint customer when I pay a different company for service. For my two lines this was a $30/month difference and it killed the deal for me.

 

I don't see myself rejoining Sprint ever again because of this. I'll have to explore my options elsewhere.

 

Very disappointed because this restriction for Ting was not in place before.

 

Anyways, thus ends my experience with Sprint.

port out to one of those prepaid no contract deals then port into sprint.

where there is a will there is a way.

That says you can switch your account to the new plan. It doesn't say at what price. I would venture to guess that the lines that are upgrade eligible/not under contract are priced at $15, the lines that are still under contract are priced at $40

I assume it will be like Framily. As long as you upgrade before 8/22 you would pay $15 not $40.
