Also if they can touch based on the trial plans as well.

There's no need to make a new post just to add-on to your former.

EDIT: (example) touch on your post. You'll see two options (if applicable) EDIT. And QUOTE.

Nope. Not on Sprint anymore. I'm on TMO now. I was just making an observation on what seems like an unnecessary fee. If Sprint offer unlimited why would they charge overage fees instead of just bumping you up to the next data tier. Or just you know. not charge it. It doesn't make sense to me.

You have to change your data allotment proactively.

...but my father is (user of data) and I don't want to be penalized because of his fees. Which is strange to me that Sprint is charging overages since they offer unlimited data... Hmmm...

 

 

-Luis

@WiWavelength - If you could map out subscribers on an electoral/election style map, how would it look like in Florida and WA State? The U.S.A.?

...There seems to be some discrepancy... What is the accurate data allocation?

 

AJ

2.5GB per person. Feb. 2016, downgrades to 1GB per person. This is the "Pump and Dump" strategy that I've been fearing would come out of the rotting woodwork of T-Mobile.

Here is where @Mondays in Flames quoted from: http://bgr.com/2014/07/28/t-mobile-vs-sprint-family-plans/

It should be on the front page.

But it won't be...

Awesome media exposure. Thanks FierceWireless.

Alright, no worries. I was just really confused, I never even mentioned Framily! It was actually someone else who I was quoting.

 

At the same time, I don't believe it was meant to misrepresent sprint, but rather state that the data allotment goes down to 4GB, much like how sprint has a 4GB data allotment (I presume).

 

 

-Luis

You presume wrong. For $25 dollars @ 7+ Framily members, you get 1GB of data. Add $10 dollars you get 3GB's at $15 per GB in overages. $20 dollars Unlimited Data. Not throttling, no slowdowns. Well, unless you're a data hog on one particular cell tower, but once you leave that select tower, to another tower, you're speeds will go back to normal. The throttle doesn't follow you where ever you go.

Sprint, if a bit more expensive, offers you the whole enchilada. With comparable coverage to AT&T.

What? Who?

 

Me?

 

 

-Luis

No, sorry. I meant to quote what you quoted. Sorry for the error.

Can you post a link to what you quoted?

They tacked on an additional 1.5GB of data to their lowest data plans. Is there any movement on the whole Sprint TMO merger?

 

 

-Luis

Why is he insinuating that Sprint's Framily plan is going to stab you in the back like TMO-US's bag of tricks?

That's called "misrepresenting facts."

Can I file a complaint to the FCC?

Can anyone post any of their recommendations? For telecom news?

I only know of SprintUsers, and The Cell Phone Junkie. (http://thecellphonejunkie.com) These podcasts are exclusively wireless cell provider news-based.

There are other shows that sprinkle in telecom news. There's CNET, and theverge/Engadget...

Any others?

I'm aware.

I do agree with you. Wholeheartedly. I just read it wrong. Guess I'm a bit twitchy, eh?

I mean, why can't people understand that Sprint was forced to use WiMAX for their 4G tech because LTE wasn't ready yet AND because 2.5Ghz freq. had strict buildout requirements?

And they bled, and bled, and kept on bleeding from the operation of iDEN towers?

What about the anticompetitive nature of the Alltel buyout? That was absolutely not fair. To regional carriers AND Sprint? Maybe I'm stretching my argument a bit too far with this last one...

I wonder why people are protesting the 49 million pay day Hesse got. I mean, it's a gigantic pay day but doesn't he deserve it for what he did...Ya know, saving the company entirely from disappearing?

IT'S NOT HIS ANNUAL PAY. It's around $30 million dollars, not $50 million. That $50 million dollar figure is a "package," not his salary.

...Now, S4GRU is fairly well protected by its reputation and visibility.

But what do you think about "the idea?"

I've been a fanboy of Sprint ever since I got my Palm Prē in October of 2009. I had left AT&T because my iPhone 3GS was stolen, and because precentral.net peaked my interest in WebOS.

So I used those reasons to take the opportunity switch to Sprint. Plus, I like their yellow colour. It's nice to look at.

I had devoted a lot of time (and money) to WebOS over those long and exciting months. Staying up late at night on community forums and chat sessions waiting for OTA's to be downloadable. Testing them out, and raving about "How exciting this, and that was.) I was so devoted to WebOS and Sprint that I had had great success with many family members and friends, switching then to Sprint and Palm's WebOS.

About 6 months in, I had discovered SprintUsers. They had an mediocre community. 30% of the high volume contributors were intelligent. The rest didn't seem to have graduated middle school language arts.

I liked what I saw, save for those rampant bad apples.

And I liked what I heard while listening to the SprintUsers podcast. The podcasters and their guests, most of whom were employees, were fun to listen to at the time. It was an informative and compelling podcast that I'd like to see recreated here in some form or another through S4GRU.

PODCAST LOCATED HERE: http://www.sprintusers.com/category/podcast/

Is anyone up to the challenge? I'd love to see it happen. Whether a staff member heads it, or a devoted forum contributor wants to, it doesn't matter to me as long as it gets up and running.

Might there be a reason not to? Would it be 'too much' public exposure? I'm thinking that SprintUsers were told sternly by the top brass to "quit it" or get a pink slip.

A reason was never given on the forums (that I could find) as to why it was unceremoniously shut down.

I know that my posts as of late haven't been as valuable as I'd like them to be. Normally 1 sentence one-liners, but I'd hope that I can reshape my image in the future with more well thought out posts, that contribute to & further a discussion. Not just adding my 2¢, (with statements valued as such) just for the heck of it.

Please consider this seriously. Everyone. S4GRU has the gravitas and the calibre to achieve prestige at such heights of theVerge, & Engadget.

If it doesn't happen for two months for the sake of being well planned by the Staff, I'd be okay with that. As long as it gets going. It should be a monthly show, say, before, or after the monthly Community Summit chat? (I don't think "summit" is the right word)

So in the end, did Sprint sell its towers? What did Nextel do with its 1.9Ghz, & its 2.5Ghz plans?

On another note, I remember reading on CNET that T-Mobile sold all of its towers to Crown Castle?

What carriers own there no./% of their towers? Do Sprint own all of theirs?

How can AT&T, with all of its money frak up their Network development/deployment when Sprint is 50% complete with their Network Vision execution with a lot less money?

Told ya.

For everyone wondering what this means. Look at the S4GRU Wall for more information.

From Mr Saw's blog...

You're a day late and a dollar short. With irrelevancy written all over your post because you failed to add your own input.

Uh....yeah...

 

S4GRU doesn't count. We're the cream of the crop.

I want another news/community source.

A very nice piece by Dr. Saw.

Edit: Dr., not Mr.

Why don't they allow comments? It was nicely well written! If, a little sparse on the intimate details...

Does Sprint have anything similar to: tmonews.com?

SprintUsers.com is a C+, okay, D+ rated blog-site... They DID have a Sprint-dedicated podcast! (Which is as of now, is still canceled.)

Anything out there? Anything?

So since Seattle won't be getting 800Mhz for the next 5+ years, does that mean that Sprint will be applying 1x Adv. tech upgrades to 1900Mhz?

Our only in-building salvation being the 600Mhz auction forcing us to wait 3-5 years for its separate implementation?

Why does Sprint have to be so aggravating for us Seattilites?

The Canadian IBEZ will be sorted out before the end of the year. The Mexican IBEZ on the other hand...

I want a source for that Canadian IBEZ resolution please.

Please, please, please!

But, but! What about Seattle!

That's not fair that they're dragging their feet with WA State!

Make a deal with the FCC, and give Canadians some headway with their future slices of low-band spectrum rebranding plans. Sell 40Mhz of EBS/2.5Ghz in order to get it done! Do something!!!

Wow, maybe they just revealed something that Sprint was saving for some time.

Isn't there an event this month, Happy Connecting, they call it, on the 23rd?
