    An employee on the Sprint subreddit posted that tomorrow's promotion has been changed. Instead of three months, you will have to have had your phone for seven months to be eligible.

    Got the free year of Prime, too. I'm happy with that. That makes up for the tablet deal they offered.
  4. Scott
    One thing that could have made the tablet offer a little more appealing and tied into the half-off theme of the port-in announcmeent would be to give a year of free service and half-off service for the second year (so $7.50 or $5 instead of $15/10).

    While still not great (and still not worth paying for a year of service on it), some of the specs listed for the Pixi 7 on Sprint's site are slightly better than what Phone Arena reported Memory8GB ROM / 1GB RAM *MicroSD card slot supports up to 32GB Processor1.1 GHz Quad-Core Qualcomm® Smapdragon™ processor

    Nope. I can't find anything except Marcelo's tweet. With the "while supplies last" caveat, it wouldn't surprise me if it's some Black Friday doorbuster deal with 5 per store or something like that.

    "While supplies last."

    Installed the update. Hopefully it does help the battery life. Now that I'm past the year mark with the phone, the battery doesn't seem to last as long as it used to. Semi-random question: Does anyone else's phone get hot when it installs an update? Mine always does and i don't know if that's normal or if it's just mine.

    For an indivdiual, you're right, the 8GB plan is redundant. But the way it's worded on Sprint's site, it looks like the 8GB is shared data. So you could have multiple lines sharing the 8GB for $70 (plus the access charge for each device). With the unlimited plan, it's $70 for the first line, then $60 for each additional line.

    Sprint's ETF doesn't have a linear decrease over time like that. According to the ETF chart on sprint.com, the ETF with six months left on the contract would be $120. With five months left, it's $100. And it never drops below $100, so if someone leaves Sprint with one month left on a contract, the ETF is still $100.

    Thanks, that's what I thought. I was confused because Marv's post mentioned the credit in discussing easy pay.
  12. Scott
    So the $15 service credit is good on easy pay, too? I thought it was just for leases.

    This isn't the first time a company has refused to accept advertisements from a competitor and I don't think the government has stepped in before. A few weeks ago, there were news stories that NBC (owned by Comcast) wouldn't allow Dish Network's Sling TV to buy commercial time on the network. While it certainly seems like it's an anticompetitive practice, I don't think the companies ae breaking any laws by doing it. A company is allowed to choose which entities can and cannot buy advertising from it.

    For those who haven't seen this, Legere's trolling of the new logo on Twitter. I'm not a Legere fan, but I actually like it.

    Slight correction, they were denied a $3.3 billion credit so they have to pay the total of $13 billion (they already committed to paying $10 billion after the $3 billion discount)
  16. Scott
    No, but I never said it will be. I was just disputing your claim that contracts will "probaly" be gone for exisiting Sprint customers by the end of the year when they do away with contracts for new customers. If Verizon -- arguably the least customer-friendly carrier -- is keeping them for existing customers, what makes you think Sprint won't?
  17. Scott
    Except Verizon is apparently letting existing customers continue to get subsidized phones on contract renewal (assuming not on grandfathered unlimited plan) after getting rid of contracts for new customers http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/wireStory/verizon-existing-customers-eligible-discounted-phones-33020255

    Nope I hadn't tried PRL/profile updates because I didn't realize it would affect Wi-Fi calling, but that did the trick. It now works with the usual, occasional dropouts. Thanks.
  19. Scott
    It hasn't worked for me at all since the 5.1.1 update on my Note 4. I just get the Wi-Fi calling icon with the red line through it in my notification bar. I don't even get the Network connection error notification. I've toggled Wi-Fi calling on/off and reverified my address but none of that has solved it.

    But aren't most (or all) of the GMO sites GMOs because of pretty much those same logistic, structural, municipal or technical reasons? So wouldn't that leave the GMOs in the same situation they're currently in?

    My average monthly usage over the last year is 7.19 GB. I didn't think it was that high, I would've guessed it was closer to 5 GB.

    I'm not saying Sprint doesn't have areas like that; my point is that your statement that "2.5 is necessary to have the true lte experience" is not true in all Sprint markets (and it's probably untrue in most markets). I'd consider 10-15Mbps download speeds to be a true LTE experience. It's fast enough for what most people use their phone for.
  23. Scott
    I hate to debunk your blanket statement so quickly after you posted it (not really), but there's no B41 in my market and I routinely get over 10Mbps down. I rarely see anything below 5-6Mbps when on LTE (there are still some pockets of 3G around here). I just ran a test -- 14.85 down/7.23 up, indoors on B26.
  24. Scott
    The way the below question is worded in the FAQ, it sounds like you can. You'd just need to get a Project Fi SIM card, which is apparently free

    Less than a month before I take a trip to Toronto in early June. That's good timing.
