  1. I am bent they went away from the volume buttons on the back... Works great when my phone is in my pocket and I need to turn up the vol listening to head phones
  2. uhhh hell yes.... The funny part is (well not so funny) is when you tweet in or DM the tmo people, they give the same BS answers everyone does.. and then when I call them out on it, they shift the blame to something else. Pisses me off really, I am waiting until april to see what the new deal is and will probably switch some of my lines over.. Though I am still mad Sprint in the last year still has not covered I-15 though the state....buggy
  3. Thats why I said they would have to Divest some spectrum.. it would be big... but probably close to on par with the att/direct merger.. only thing is Direct doesnt have spectrum, or much of it I think... So there you go... and maybe it will move this way.. the 3 bigs.. Verizon/comcast Att/Direct Dish/Sprint, Tmo Then of course there is this, that mergers I think would help the issue through partnering/agreements https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2016/08/every-major-cable-tv-company-lost-subscribers-last-quarter/ Thinking about it.. the comcast/verizon relationship has issues over the other 2..... internet.... the other 2 dont have a "true" backbone provider like comcast... Meaning something would need to change there humm got me thinking....these numbers are interesting http://www.worldometers.info/world-population/us-population/ https://www.statista.com/statistics/283507/subscribers-to-top-wireless-carriers-in-the-us/ more cell phones then population...
  4. Tmo, Sprint, and Dish, should all merge. then as I am sure are required due to the amount, divest out some of their spectrum holdings. In a way that works for them to have a more complete system in place 2-4 bands to carry across the country, instead of piece mealing stuff together.. The other thing, with the baby boomer craze.... one of these companies needs to come up with a simple plan for those who don't need or want all the data.. a few gig and unlimited text, and calls. with a very basic and easy to use smart phone ala nexus on ensure (see what I did there) And then promote the crap out of it... these accounts use less resources but should net a higher return per customer.... In fact something close to what I have for my business lines... basic 2gb, $15 a line.. want to add more then buy the bundles. plus a $10-20 phone. Call it the senior special or something... I would bet Kids (20-40 yr olds) would jump on this for their aging parents, or the elderly themselves would..
  5. Nope, 150 for 10 lines, 15 each additional (2) and 15 for extra data (3) and 10 for ins on 1. Granted mine is not the ONE plan soooo Sent from my LG-H901 using Tapatalk
  6. yea but I have NEVER seen Tmo have access fees..... have i just not looked hard enough??? even like a year ago when I switched.... in fact it was the MAIN reason I switched... I got my price for the multiple lines, and its THAT price....
  7. Isnt it funny how these things come back round... unlimited... to tiered, now back to unlimited... Why cant they do a nice basic one, for older people, or for kids who dont need to be on it that much??? Yet still include the unlimited text and calls.. and have a nice little 2-4 gb plan. And NOT those stupid access fees. I mean really my inlaws and parents shouldnt have to pay an access fee of $20 or so to grab an email on occasion... First company to cater to older/younger non-power users wins
  8. Sent from my LG-H901 using Tapatalk and everyone of them have "access" fees, they are just smart enough to tie them into the price... Verizons is $110 + $20 each line.. = $190... -$10 for autopay...lol I will say though.. they have this promotion in place... trade your old phone in and you are eligible for free phones
  9. So I saw it after I closed out my "search" but they didnt make it user friendly to find... And yea when I just looked BAM right on the front.. so I guess Announced Fri Website update Mon.... Now to put the 4 phones in and see $335 a month, with 182 due today for taxes fees...
  10. LOL... so I dug into these things (verizons new unlimited wasnt on their site yet) 1st thing... Everyone of these sites suck.. they take for ever to go no where, and are very confusing to me.. 2nd, its back to a battle of unlimited, they really dont want you on tiered plans, because thats where everyone except Tmo, has "access" fees And Tmo, I couldnt find an option for tiered data.. soooooo 3rd I first was going to compare 2 lines on tiered, but read #2.... So i went 4 lines, unlimited, with an s7.. att has 2 different pricing upgrade every 2 cheaper, or every $5 more... everyone has ins. Sprint was the most at $13, but Tmo @ $12 included jump upgrades (i am guessing every year) Att $339.80.. before taxes.. BUT you had to have directv for their unlimited $100 due today for activation Sprint $277.84 Before taxes $219 due today for sales taxes and Activation I am guessing Tmo $312, taxes included $280 due today taxes and shipping sim card So roughly $75 a line give or take $5-10 depending on carrier Att the most PLUS having to have TV.... and theirs still said access charge.. 60 for plan, but $180 total...they give a $40 credit for the 4th line... its all a racket... i pay just over these for 12 lines (3 have a higher GB, the others only 2) but I dont get hit with an "access fee" and it includes phones in that price to.... SMH I guess ill deal with the issues
  11. SO I am just looking around.. and verizon has the "access" fees to... so a 16GB plan for 2 lines is 90 + 2 $20 fees so 65 per line for 16gb shared... SMH plus the phones... For all this crap bring back the subsidized phones.. cuz we as the consumer are getting hosed.. More later
  12. yea i just posted about this in the post above....network access fee... smh
  13. I am guessing its capacity is getting tapped out... sure sure its fun and exciting to bring new customers on board. Till the influx causes issues.. I switched to TMO about a year ago... (got a smoking offer, I couldnt pass up for the 12 lines i am over) and while a majority of the users dont notice the issues I do.. they still creep in and I get a call about it... With that said my latest trip to vegas gave me at least pandora streaming the whole way along I-15... IF and when Sprint gets the major highways covered even in the sticks (which should be a no brainer) Ill look at going back.. Why does sprint have that stupid "network" access fee??... its the dumbest thing known to man... just looks like you are baiting and switching things... just get a fixed price and call it good.
  14. Damn.. I just want a email or twitter handle to tell my issues... someone better then crappy tier one canned responses
  15. Where was this from?? Because I sure as hell aint getting it around me.. In fact I am still burnt about there "coverage" map and "verified" user tabs... load of Horse crap.... I went some where kind of remote, but checked the map... yeah wasnt happening... and its happened more then once... and I tweet and let them know about it...
  16. interesting reading here.... As I am getting ready to move the 13 lines I am over in regards to my family and a few workers... Switching to Tmo....Why you ask well 2 things Pissed that Sprint STILL has not and doesnt look to anytime in the future of upgrading towers along MAJOR interstates.... and out west here there is lot of dead area that you need some streaming capability of some sort, because radio just doesnt cut it... and along a good portion of I-15, voice coverage is worse then analog days Its fantastic they are doing things in populated areas...but people DO travel.. Plus there are some noticeable holes around here as well... 2 Well the offer I got was just to good, over all we will save about $150-$200 a month AND GET ALL NEW PHONES for everyone... Those on the framily will enjoy jumping from 1 GB to 2..... those of us on the 20 GB share wont notice much (only 3 of us ever got over 2 GB for a month, So i might just pay the $15 for 6) but its the NEW PHONES for EVERYONE that really put it over.. they will all be at their same price point, if not $5-$10 cheaper The good news I only have 2 phones I have to worry about the payoff on, Which Tmo covers as well.. Sp we will see how it goes...I have looked at the sister site and its kinda dead over there.....hopefully it picks up...and i will still poke in from time to time to see if they have improved those areas I am concerned with
  17. SO i got a question?? and I guess this is the best place to ask (aside from maybe the store) but i want an unbiased opinion... So i have on a framily play 8 5 of which are under my control, and which I might pull off and leave to Tmobile....maybe 4 Anyway, whats the best way if at all to shift those 3 to another one so they keep the $25 rate????
  18. Not confused at all.... and its not the 1st time i have gotten into it with AJ... He's a jerk and a bully, and I have had conversations about it with other people as well, about his "holier then thou" attitude.. But hey he's an admin so lets bow down Maybe Robert, but I wouldnt have known, not that I care much about wimax anymore now that i have my mom switched. But if hadnt posted it, it wouldnt have popped up on the side bar and sparked my interest.. like I said, doesnt float my boat anymore, but doesnt mean others may not be interested, with out the digging through 20 pages.... And I get the "cleaning up" of repeat posts can be a pain... BUT it doesn not excuse his attitude towards the OP.... And i have seen it happen more then once.... I am pretty sure you are aware the slow decline here since "most" the network is done... What you CAN NOT have is MODS who treat new or inexperienced posters as stupid. I have been on other boards in my industry and caught myself going after the "newbs" who post what most seem to view as "basic" And then shortly there after I catch myself and apologize... AS I said above.....its not the 1st time or 5th for that matter I think AJ has gone over board.....and I think you should address THAT, more so then someone bringing up a repeat post
  19. probably, doesn't mean he has to be a jerk about it. As he usually is
  20. So then by all means be a douche about it....instead of nicely telling him we already got it, but thanks for the fact you found it...
  21. humm that makes sense, these phones get pretty damn hot while doing moderate things
  22. crazy, guess ill be happy it hasnt happened yet on mine.. with that said, the hard reset has appeared to fix my battery issue.. I DL the cpu check and it found right away there was an issue...i didnt even wait a full day to do it... also the LG back up worked slick And my Gmail push issue has been resolved as well...
  23. Oh and with the goofy data issues... Scp, threes funny group of letters in the status bar for a few mins off and on...couldn't tube a screen pic though
  24. Got mine last night.... And now today my LTE is outta whack... Keeps bouncing between it and 3g.. And ya noticeable battery drain while using it
  25. I cant change the line number......and they have a 40gb promotion?? hummm
