  1. I own sprint and I'm still adding shares.
  2. I thought it might be interesting to see what everybody is investing in. It might give people some new ideas on investing. Right now I own shares of: Sprint(S-OL2) Fedex(FDX) Fannie Mae(FNMA) Norfolk Southern(NSC) Meridian Bioscience(VIVO) I usually stay away from the financial sector like the plague. However, I have heard some very interesting things concerning JP Morgan and it looks like Bank of America may be turning the corner. I also may take a look at Chrysler and GM.
  3. Two things that nobody has mentioned. The first is these new plans delete(or roll in) the premium data fee. So that major point of contention will not exist with these plans. The second is it possible that Sprint has decided that they are losing money on lines 3-5 of a family plan? While some will say that is being short sighted as they may lose all five lines instead of the unprofitable ones(and I agree)I think it should still be considered. Remember, Sprint had no problem getting rid of its "problem customers".
  4. Would you really notice the difference at 1 mbps. I used to have a 700 kbps connection at home and I was able to stream Netflix with no problem. In fact before Netflix started limiting how many devices could stream at once, I used to stream three devices at a time on a 2mbps connection without an issue.
  5. Some employers offer a sprint discount and so do credit unions. Thats all that I know but I'm sure there are more.
  6. Just ran the numbers and for me its a wash. Without my discount I pay $149 for two lines. Under the new plan I would pay $150(50+40+30+30). Now, if I add on a third line I get screwed by $30. The old plan would be $180 and the new plan would be $210.
  7. The old plan depends on which old plan you are referencing additional lines go from 9.99 on the anytime minutes option all the way to 99.99 on the simply everything plan. http://shop.sprint.com/mysprint/shop/plan/plan_wall.jsp?tabId=pt_shared_tab&flow=AAL&planFamilyType=
  8. I agree to a point. The marketing blitz should not be done with the idea of capturing customers that you have already lost. By that metric the blitz will fail. It should be done with the idea of capturing brand new customers. Most of the old customers are pissed and you could not drag them back to sprint with a team of horses.
  9. And thats where it becomes complicated. Wireline is a dying business. How long would TW be saddled with the wireline business before somebody buys it up?
  10. I dont know if the FCC would even ok that merger. Centurylink is significantly larger than Embarq was.
  11. Augh. Centurylink seems to be trying harder. I know that they had issues with using cheap dslams and then overloading them. I think the techs were finally able to talk some sense into the suits. Last I looked Centurylinks financials were not great and they have been slow in rolling out Prism services because of a shortage of cash flow. If that continues they may be a prime acquisition target. I just don't know if there is a suitable buyer out there.
  12. The HTC oNe has gotten a lot of positive reviews. My wife has one and I am a bit jealous. Check out sensorly.com to see if Sprints coverage will work out for you.
  13. People are foolish. If you have already made a profit on your verizon stock, then selling them and reinvesting in Sprint may be a great way to go. I real investor invests with their head and not their heart.
  14. Official Sprint hotspot. 2 gb for $20
  15. Thats what I am trying to figure out. Is it part of the hotspot or not. Clearly if it is not then it is a TOS violation and thats what I am trying to figure out. I would much rather tether than use the hotspot if it is not a violation. Wait, you can have tethering specifically enabled? I have never seen that.
  16. I noticed that I can tether my evo with my Chromebook. Is this because I have the Hotspot enabled or was it overlooked by Sprint? I really wonder because I could never do it with my windows laptop. The only difference in the phone is Jelly bean vs ICS.
  17. How about selling mugs, mouse pads etc,etc with the s4gru logo?
  18. For all the naysayers. Just because we have been doing something in a particular way since the dawn of time does not mean its the right way to do things. I believe in being prepared. Case in point......http://usnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/06/25/19128121-23-scouts-hospitalized-after-lightning-strike-in-belmont-new-hampshire?lite
  19. There is only one national roaming partner for T-Mobile and thats AT&T and they are not playing ball. Years ago T-Mo had a roaming agreement with Cingular IIRC. After the Cingular/AT&T merger those agreements were allowed to expire.
  20. Looks like we may comply with both distance requirements. Thank you Pedro. You gave me a good place to start!
