Right on! All of the "loyal" Sprint users are chomping at the bit to jump to Verizon because of the more expensive unlimited offering. I would like to see Sprint let existing customers move to the promotional price but in their last earnings call Robaitti was talking up the future increased revenue when promotional pricing ends.

I haven't been to Lewisburg, WV in several years so i'm not sure about network status. I remember being able to call and text just fine though. It is likely still a very rural town so I wouldn't expect B41 or 10x10 but if seen please report!

2 year subsidy phone upgrades early warning info
Jones replied to dkyeager's topic in General Topics
I think there are 2 different arguments here. James is saying for those that can afford $800 to choose the interest free installment as that allows more flexibility in repayment. AJ is saying for those who can't afford $800 a cheaper alternative is financially more prudent. -
Did anyone catch this announcement about a new device called Essential? Here's an article mentioning the developer talking to sprint. http://bgr.com/2017/01/14/andy-rubin-essential-smartphone/ "At the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas in early January, Rubin discussed the smartphone with mobile carrier executives, including some from Sprint Corp., people familiar with the talks said" Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk

No other place to ask and I'm sure a rumor thread would get deleted but I want to ask... Do you guys think there is weight to Samsung forgoing the home button for a full screen S8 phone with a virtual home button?

Has anyone driven through Squirrel Hill to test if service is active yet? I always dropped to no service in Liberty, but maintained at least 3G in Fort Pitt and Squirrel Hill. http://pittsburgh.cbslocal.com/2016/06/27/cell-phone-service-coming-to-squirrel-hill-tunnel/ From the article: Work in the Fort Pitt Tunnel, and the Liberty Tunnel will be easier than Squirrel Hill because the conduits already exist. But Verizon stated that Squirrel Hill will go online first, with Liberty and Fort Pitt to follow. Each tunnel coming on line as soon as the work is finished. The work is expected to occur through mid September.

How is giving away service for free for life a good thing?? I'm no business major but $0 in service revenue with compounding cost to the network is not a good decision.

I recall reading about this a while ago...looks like it has resolved in Sprint's favor. http://thetimes-tribune.com/news/sprint-wins-appeal-to-put-cell-phone-antennas-back-atop-10-story-condo-building-in-scranton-1.2114323 Interesting snippet: “The Hill Neighborhood is disappointed that Sprint was able to bypass the city ordinance that states cell towers/antennas are not permitted in a residential area,” HNA President Nicole Pettinato said in an email. “The HNA is committed to fight any company that wants to put antennas in our neighborhood.”

I spent the morning in Leesburg at the Outlets and had perfect service - B25 or B41 throughout (even indoors). Back in WV now without problems but I haven't made any calls today. I have noted a lot of B41 coming online in the eastern panhandle's cities - Charles Town, Ranson, and Martinsburg.

I read a seeking alpha editorial article that said Sprint could hugely reduce it's interest expense by taking out more spectrum backed, investment grade notes. If that's the case why hasn't Tarek done that already? Was this first spectrum backed funding a proof of concept and then they'll be doing it again? http://seekingalpha.com/article/4015759-sprint-even-valuable-thought

Sprint: 800 MHz rebanding project nearing completion
Jones replied to Rawvega's topic in General Topics
What do you think these managers and VP's think when an S4GRU member contacts them, happy to speak to an enthusiastic customer or weirded out by an enthusiastic customer? -

I just thought the same thing Trip...good one. -
Update to the always on display feature... Go to settings > display > always on display > about always on display and click to update. I use the feature and now there are more clock options, colors, and background images. I think you can use any background image you want now. Which is cool, but will probably eat more battery than just using the clock/calendar.
