    What would make me happy is if Sprint offered an Everything Data plan with less than 450 minutes at about $15/month cheaper. I never ever go over 100 minutes on my plan, so if they offered an Everything Data plan with 225 minutes, at about $54.99 + $10 premium data charge, I'd be happy. Most phones I purchase, I rarely use my upgrade for. I last upgraded to the EVO 3D last year on its release date. Then when the E4GT released, I had it two weeks later off eBay, brand new, for $85 less than the off contract price at Sprint.

    I hope Sprint is using sim cards for LTE phones. I don't want to let Verizon's outages be the reason to be different than the rest of the wireless industry like they always seem to do. I am tired of Sprint doing that.I am curious if MetroPCS uses sim cards for their LTE service. If so then Sprint has no reason not to implement sim cards. Sprint cannot afford to experiment with sim cardless LTE service with Network Vision.Robert, any news on the LG Viper? Is that going to be released any time soon?

     

     

    MetroPCS does use SIM cards for their LTE. I'm in the new/used phone resell/refurbishing business and have a few Metro 4G phones we're having issues selling. The issue with them is the previous customer kept their last 4G SIM card, and MetroPCS requires them to activate the phones as a used phone. Metro does not provide the customer any SIM card unless they buy the phone directly from them or have the SIM card previously used in that phone. The SIM cards are also not available for sale on ebay or any other website for that matter.

     

    It is a disappointment that MetroPCS does this as it could lead to customers leaving due to such a restriction on their services. Verizon, as far as I know, does not offer SIM cards to customers either, but their SIM cards can be found and purchased on eBay as I have done so in the past.

     

    I don't mind Sprint following the SIM card LTE service, as long as its either not removable, or they are available for the consumer in the "aftermarket" so they may purchase a replacement phone for a lower price on ebay/craigslist as opposed to paying full retail price in the store.
