Yeah but you have to look at it from a historical perspective... 1.3% is almost the lowest in T-Mobile history (last quarter was fractionally smaller). They are also port-positive on every carrier and have been for the last nine quarters. In Q2'15: 1.4 from Verizon, 1.9 from AT&T and 2.5 from Sprint.

Anecdotal, but T-Mobile has turned on LTE in a lot of rural areas about an hour+ away from me. Areas with farms and cows and corn went from having a barely usable EDGE signal that was only good for phone calls, to LTE with pretty decent bandwidth for being in the middle of nowhere.

My brain says Sprint will hit their consensus earnings (which isn't good btw), but that it's already been priced into the cost of the stock at this point. My gut says that they'll miss earnings by a few cents, and the news will be coupled with Sprint taking the #4 spot in subscribers which won't elicit confidence, and the stock will show continued weakness over the next quarter.

Dead cat bounce.

Verizon is making strides towards supporting RCS. Full support is on their roadmap. "VoLTE and RCS Video Calling are being dubbed as “Advanced Calling 1.0″. The company plans to roll out other RCS features like presence notification, instant messaging, and file transfers in the future. Unfortunately, despite the IP voice interconnection with T-Mobile made earlier this year, we were told that VoLTE HD Voice calls only work among Verizon Wireless customers for now." - http://www.extremetech.com/electronics/188756-verizons-volte-rollout-will-kill-off-cdma-and-allow-unlocked-lte-phones-too

Sunk cost fallacy. Better off taking the capital loss and investing in a more worthwhile stock.

BTIG Research cut Sprint target price to $2.00 on July 17th. http://www.btigresearch.com/2015/07/16/will-investors-embrace-sprints-new-network-plan-cutting-target-to-2-00-while-we-continue-to-wait/ If Sprint doesn't post strong consensus-beating numbers in their upcoming earnings report, we might see that $2.00 pretty soon.

RCS is an extension of IMS, so at the very least it should work on WiFi in addition to LTE. Since T-Mobile's network expansion is all-LTE, HSPA support is kind of moot, but I believe the RCS spec includes HSPA/3G but requires carrier equipment support. But HSPA-only areas should be pretty sparse in ~9 months. If you text someone who isn't on RCS, it will fall back to SMS/MMS. But I assume that large downloads will sit in the network until your recipient gets re-connected via RCS (like when you MMS someone but their phone isn't on, it just gets delivered later).

You can enable and disable the typing indicators and outgoing read reciepts: http://s4.postimg.org/qyghfu87h/Screenshot_2015_07_22_11_15_41.png Cool, cool. Well, you can disable the rich communications parts you don't like. They're not mandatory. More screenshots: http://imgur.com/a/TQyr8

You realize they are only counting net activations, right? If you join T-Mobile and then port out to AT&T and then Rejoin T-Mobile (within the same Q), that doesn't count as 2 adds. If you do it a hundred times it doesn't count as 100 net adds, it still is one net add.
