About 55gb Sent from my iPhone 6+

That's in my top 3 of android gripes. We iPhone users are used to the screen lighting up when we get a text, or other alert. Android can't do it without special apps. Sent from my iPhone 6+

I was too lazy to save money. I brought in a drawer android I had at home, and they said no because it was too old, and not on their list. Sent from my iPhone 6+

You can keep Framily. I did, and the rep saw my bill and said "damn, don't ever let anyone take that plan from you. What a deal!" An oddly enough, I no longer see the 128gb plus on the Sprint website anymore. My 64gb plus is 30.77/month. Sent from my iPhone 6+

iPhone forever plan with trade-in. You have until 9/10 to do it. Sent from my iPhone 6+

That's what I figured. I always have paid full price for my iPhones, but I'm content with this route. I'm a busy guy, and it's a hassle to sell a phone these days. It's either get destroyed by fees on eBay, or deal with tire kickers on Craigslist. I'm not leaving Sprint, so a lease works fine. Right now, my bill sits at $86.77 plus tax, which includes unlimited everything, the phone, and TEP. I'm essentially paying $369.24/year to always have the latest device instead of almost $1000 from Apple. Sent from my iPhone 6+

That could work. Do NOT give Sprint your iPhone 6. You lose all buyback (potentially several hundred dollars) on it to save $84 ($7/mo discount x 12). Sprint will take any phone from any carrier as long as it has higher than $0 value on their buyback website, and runs android/iOS/windows (no feature phones). Edit: that phone doesn't appear to be on their buyback list. It looks like you would need to go to Walmart, get the serial number off the box, and check that way. Sent from my iPhone 6+

I actually had a plus a few months after launch, but got sick of the size, and wanted a more "pocketable" device, so I bought a regular 6. Now that I have the plus back, I've realized how it's way better to have a large screen and a great battery again. They offered me TEP on the phone, but it wasn't forced. AppleCare may be able to be purchased at the Sprint counter, as I believe it's an option when checking out online. If not, you have 60 days from purchase to go to an Apple Store and add it for $100. Once I get the next model, I'll be adding it. It's a great insurance policy for someone like me who doesn't ever lose or have their device stolen. I'm way more likely to drop it or break it some other way. This way, it's only $75 for my mistake, and not $200. I pay for TEP basically only as a backup. Sent from my iPhone 6+

Yes, I believe I'll be charged 2 activation fees since I just got the 6+, and the new one comes out in like 2 weeks. I only did it because (I think) you have to jump on this by 9/10? Maybe I misunderstood it. Sent from my iPhone 6+

I jumped on the iPhone Forever plan on Sunday. I picked up an iPhone 6 plus for $0 down, and my upgrade date is already reflecting properly for the next iteration. Looks like I'll be waiting in line at my local corp store. They told me there's usually only about 5 people waiting when they open. Edit: I forgot to mention, this was the most painless experience I've had with Sprint; I was in and out in 25 minutes. Sent from my iPhone 6+

Anyone that's wondering about their market's CA situation: have you found multiple band 41 carriers? That would probably answer your question. No multiple carriers, no CA. Sent from my iPhone 6

Was this at O'Hare? Sent from my iPhone 6

I might go do it tomorrow. I'm wondering if it's pointless to go from a 6 to 6+ to a 6s+ a few weeks later, and pay 2 activation fees. I'm getting bored, and miss the plus. Sent from my iPhone 6

Damn. Are you sure? That seems risky to send out equipment without at least a credit hold. Sent from my iPhone 6

I saw it on reddit last night, too, and thought about getting a Verizon version to just hammer the speedtest button all around town. I haven't used Verizon here in years. Did they hit your card with a hold for the full price, or was it actually just $1? Sent from my iPhone 6

I tried running a G4 for a week. Everything is so scattered on Android. Needless to say, it got returned today. Sent from my iPhone 6

Man, if we get carrier aggregation, wouldn't that almost (finally) guarantee a re-design of Field Test? I mean, they'll have to stick PCC/SCC in there. A man can only dream. Sent from my iPhone 6

According to everything I've read, it only has to power on, be free of major damage (cracked screen, missing battery cover, etc.), be a smartphone running windows/android/iOS (no feature phones), and have a value of more than $0 on their buyback website. Edit: and it also doesn't have to be a Sprint phone, and can't currently be a Sprint phone on lease or easy pay. Sent from my iPhone 6

They do. I thought the plan follows the device, and not the person. You can do an actual transfer if you want. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202712 Sent from my iPhone 6

I don't get the difference, or why some prefer to own. Yeah, I've usually owned my iPhones outright, but if I want the new one every year, and I'm not leaving sprint, then who cares. Sent from my iPhone 6

What are all of your thoughts on the new iPhone forever plan? Personally, I love it. I'm going in this week to sign up. I'll give them a burner phone I have in my drawer, and end up with an iPhone 6+ 64 for 23.77/mo, bringing my monthly bill to 68.77+tax, and a brand new iphone every year. Is it a bad deal? It's really a plan for anyone not planning on leaving Sprint, and for anyone who needs the newest iPhone every year, which is me. Sent from my iPhone 6

I noticed that 8315/26315 second carrier when I was making a delivery down in Danville a few weeks ago, and I meant to ask about it. That's the same spectrum used in the Chicagoland area for a second carrier. Did the USCC purchase include this area, too? Sent from my iPhone 6

When I loaded 19.1, it would occasionally put me back to 20.0. It's weird. After it did that a few times, I just gave up, and took the 20.1 update. I don't notice a difference. One thing I'm learning is that the iPhone isn't as bad as we think. I've spent a week using a G4, and it's nearly identical to maybe a hair better (due to stronger radios). When I'm using signal check, it shows the neighboring cells, and I rarely see one standing out -10dbm-ish stronger, which could be band 26. The reason phones are dropping to 3G, and not catching band 26 is because band 26 signal isn't stronger in a lot of places (optimization needed). Your phone won't switch to band 26 just because it's "supposed" to be stronger. The day will come where band 26 is actually transmitting a strong signal, and your phone will want to attach to it.

I wouldn't necessarily call it taking a load off the network. How many people stream local radio? My guess is not many. Most are streaming spotify, Pandora, etc.. It is, however, a fantastic tool for emergencies. Sent from my LG G4

They're always advertising on social media, and other forms of media. Sprint is running lots of radio ads for their 4 lines-10gb-$100 thing, too. Sent from my iPhone 6
