man, would love to see someone pick this back up and update it.  Even adding a carrier aggregation column would be cool. 

I just contacted Sprint and was told that this is not available to customers on corporate plans.  I guess even though I want to give them more money, they will not take it.

 

I'm sure that's wrong. I'm also sure they've prob never heard of it and know nothing about it. 

how did they get this working?  have to be on wifi or anything?

Nothing to do with wifi. (I am curious if it still works when you are using the Wifi calling feature though). 

It pulls the info from the CNAP Directory..google it, that's what I know. 

As much as I am paying sprint a month, it should come at no extra charge.

Agreed. It would be nice. 

You must be overpaying with Sprint if you talking about it.  Sprint has some good plans.

Nice. I'm getting this tomorrow. New Sprint feature.

Premium Caller ID shows the name and number of the caller when they are calling you from landline, IP, or cell phone. $2.99/month

That's a first!

S3/S4/S5/Note4      4s/5/5c/5s/6/6+ compatible right now.

Don't know if this has been said yet(tried to search first) -- iPhone 6/6+ Sprint Wifi Calling update targeted no later than early 2015. 

Sprint iPhone 5c and 5s using iOS 8 also to get wifi calling. 

I'm glad that its the case if the video was faked now back on my short list of devices still hate the 1gb of ram but will see if there is an update for wifi calling down the line as well. Would like that feature!

The one thing T-Mobile does right is make it's plans immediately available and configurable via the website. The official Sprint announcement was nearly a week ago and you still can't really do ANYTHING for Family Share plans except "Make an appointment."

 

What about people wanting to, you know, actually switch TO Sprint? They need brand new phones so let them shop for them!

I wonder if Tmobile has gone to one pricing model for both their consumer and business customers. I've found pricing on Sprint if you get set up as a business account is much better than what I had on Framily and prev UnlMyWay. 

employer discount DOES apply to the base data plan on Family Share pack.

Does.

He's right though. This was not epic. Not disruptive at all. Sprint doesn't have the network to compete with big red and blue.

As it currently stands, I have to agree.

Tablets and mobile hotspots are eligible for this plan. But, Ian, where are you seeing the tethering allotment(s)? If you have a copy and paste or a link to some documentation, many would appreciate it. Thanks.

edit, dang im slow

What about people who are in the 14 day period?

 

And I assume, your employer discount is on the data side ?

So johnny can sing from the rooftops that tmo is the last to offer trully unlimted data (except if you peer 2 peer)?

hmm.. good point..oh yeah forgot about the individual plans coming.

I'm curious to see if they'll open up the discounts to folks choosing BYOD and not only Easy Pay as it is currently stated.

and if you're existing Sprint, and out of contract, creative ways exist to make you a new Sprint customer. 

True that.

 

Per their FAQ.

 

 

 

I very much dislike how new customers always get the best deals.  It does't encourage loyalty AT ALL!!!

Just a guess, but I'm guessing they will cave and make it available for existing as well. It is total BS as it stands right now. Definitely not 'uncarrier'.

Hopefully Marcello's team keeps their ears to the ground right away on this and can react quickly. 

Verizon waiting until 2016 to deploy LTE-only devices.
It is interesting to see how each carrier is going about or discussing their VoLTE plans.

How big of a deal is VoLTE really the next couple of years? (Well for Sprint users, probably a bigger deal than some --due to no SVDO/SVLTE right now on Spark devices). But I wonder if it's that important if a carrier launches 2015 versus 2016 for example. 

Do you have a business account or something? I thought the only way to get unlimited on hotspots was for businesses now0.o'..

Oh, yeah I do -- have a biz account now. I have a personal account but just started a biz acct to take advantage. 

I got mine. Got $100 off it too. So $200 total.  Unlimited data for $50 - special plan I guess. I may drop down to 3GB for $35 if I don't use it that much.

It's pretty sweet. Very portable. I streamed some movies, HBO Go, hooked up my computer to it. It works great. Having Android on it just makes it a lot more flexible in use. That's why I bought it. 

Sprint volte summer 2015

Told ya.

Hey hey hey, Happy Birthday!

And if you are in one of those markets or future markets it might be the last reason to keep you from churning versus waiting another 6 months.

Who care if sprint show 2.6gb in a lab. Sprint pr and management are so inept. Those type of things are kept in the lab not doing some stupid press conference in Frisco about plans for the future. You keep thing under wrap then when the network is fully upgraded everywhere with the appropriate backhaul then you have a press conference then announce as a today sprint offer 300 megabits down in the top 150 markets in America. That is a called catching the competition by surprise.

You don't show your competition what you plan to do you stab them from behind.

Depending on the day I would tend to agree. And 'stab in the back' is a great way to put it - so ruthless. I love it.

My first thought on the October 2013 announcement was oh how premature.

However, I think it was a worthy announcement however premature. It was about the only positive piece at the time. It has rolled fairly quickly to almost 20 markets. Reported speeds for end of 2015 have already bumped to 180Gbps. I think the new ownership will be aggressive as possible with it - recently claiming a possible rival to cable companies (we'll see).

Sprint has had many firsts in the industry but not too many worthy lately.

This may be the first one in a while and while it wont be experienced nationwide for everyone I think it is recognized as legit and they are the first.

It takes a little, at least a very little if any wind out of the competition's blasting of Sprint.

What did it do for the stock? I havent looked. Could be another reason for premature announcement.

Did some searching on the web and some people are reporting this as well. I was unaware the 5s was hd voice capable. Do you have a credible source?

Both LTE iPhones support 1x800 voice. As for HD Voice, I'm really not sure which phones do support it, as I thought it was supposed to be on all 1x800 capable LTE phones except the iPhone 5 and the Galaxy Nexus.

After reviewing the chart again, I guess 800voice is not a must since for example the iphone 4 and 4s are not on there -- non LTE of course. I didn't look at the whole list but prob safe to say they are all 800voice. The iphone 5 and up is.

Iphone 5c and up are HD voice capable after latest iOS update.

Love this chart! Amazing!

I know the chart is related to LTE data, but what do you think about adding HD voice calls and 800voice columns as well? 

People could at least see what they are missing out on by staying in their current model.
