I recently read that T-Mobile would rather merge with a cable company (like Dish), thus possibly ending any Sprint-T-Mobile merge, I wonder if a merge with Charter Communications/Spectrum/Time Warner would be a better mix. I'm curious of the pros and cons. On a side note, I always thought a while back that if Sprint were to rename itself, that Spectrum would be a perfect name, butl TWC took it. Either way, I'm curious, if not T-Mobile, then who would be a good merge fit for Sprint if Masa indeed wants to unload the company or merge it with someone else. TS

So 2 days ago I tried to upgrade online and couldn't because the final continue button was not showing up, so I started a chat and they said they could do it. Going from the 60GB Family shared plan of $130 with add on and fees totaling $180 down to the Unlimited plan advertised of $100. The rep advise me that I can do it at that moment or wait until the 26th when my new cycle starts. If I wait I won't get prorated charges, so I said okay, set it up for that date. She also said that if I wait, the free streaming video add-on would be included. I rechecked with chat yesterday and today to see if it is still scheduled and they said yes. So I sit and wait, and if anything goes wrong before that date (as in folks having issues or the terms as shown in that Reddit screenshot posted by member Paynefanbro a while back not being the same) then I can just cancel the change before the 26th. Either way I'll stay with Sprint. I've seen a few folks leave for other carriers this past year to only find out the service isn't that great or the price was not as expected. Verizon has burned too many folks in the past and I am not one to be another statistic on that list. TS out

It is because most folks use an internet service provider for their home internet, not their cell phone carrier. Judas Freaking Priest, 700GB per month.

Those that did the Galaxy Beta got 7.0. But I wonder if the latest security update that was mentioned by SamMobile was included in it or if its a separate download. TS

I'm curious about a few things also, so if anyone has gone through the steps or know first hand, I wouldn't mind some help. 1-specifically on that employee discount question as well. I'm still a bit confused on that. So its only $5 for each device and employee discounts will no longer be applied? 2-Also as I go through the plan change steps on a test run, it also shows an additional $20 for Premium Streaming. But it doesn't specify if that is for each device on the account or for the total account regardless of how many devices you have on the account. 3-I can't for the life of me figure out my hotspot usage on the new website, so I really do not know if I'll go over the allocated 5GB in a month. What happens when you do? 4-Speaking of the 5GB Hotspot, is that for each line or for all devices in total. Either way for two lines, what used to cost me $180 on the 60GB Shared line for two phones would probably cost me now $139 a month if my calculations are correct or less with the discounts. This might be worth switching to after all. TS

but.. but.. you're now complaining about someone that was complaining about your complaints. anyway, on a side note, and this is not to you but for all. This week has been a bit stressful on everyone in regards to these plan changes from all the carriers and many want to voice their opinions on the matter, myself included. But we should also adhere to the negative comments policy and not make some of these posts leaning as borderline Sprint complaints.

Sorry couldn't resist. There is a section in that article that bugs me and it's this... First it bugs me when any carrier states a certain promotion is temporary and gives a date. Like if the date actually means anything. The second part really irks me, it implies that even if the price does goes up at the end of the promotion (date), that there are newer plans one can change to, But in reality once you become a customer, new promotional plans do not apply to existing customers. It's like a love hate relationship, I too understand the math and the reasons why Sprint may not offer these plans to existing customers, but as a loyal customer of Sprint for years, it surely sucks to see existing (and very loyal) customers are always giving the "No you can't have it" when it comes with some of these plans. Oh well, it is what it is. No need to complain about it.

Could it possibly be that his hands are being tied by Masa and told not to do anything yet, or on the flip side, already has a plan but is running it through Masa for approval. Granted, either way, if he waits too long or doesn't do anything, certain customers won't wait. edit.. Well look at that, I spoke too soon, seems the Resistance does have some pull. lol TS out

History is not on our side. There have been numerous companies that have been ripped from their original home towns when a merger or takeover was done. Even Bell Atlantic which was headquartered in Philadelphia in the early 90's, merged with NYNEX and moved to NYC and renamed itself as Verizon. As much as I hate to think about it, with T-Mobile doing well and situated in the west coast, closer to Son's homeland of Japan, it would seem very likely that if Sprint and T-Mobile were to merge, that the newly formed company will be headquartered on the west coast. That's not to say that everything in KS will be moved or eliminated but overall, it will have a massive effect on the city, the population and the workers there. I can't speak for others only myself, but IMHO, I do not hate John Legere, I just dislike his unprofessional style, his cockyness etc. Granted, wanting an unprofessional loudmouth seems to be the norm now a days but the facts are the facts, he has turned around the company by adding more customers and forced the industry to change their status quo view of how carriers do things. Whether that is better or worse (for the consumer), only time will tell. TS

Yeah I just saw that and couldn't stop laughing because they used the theme from 2001.

While anything is probably speculation at this point, I too am looking forward to see what the Note 8 ends up bringing to the table. I've always been a Note fan and even jumped one of my lines from Sprint to AT&T to get the first Note. When the Note II came to Sprint I brought my line back and kept getting each version thereafter up to the Note Edge. I didn't get the Note 5 or 7 and really liked what the S7 Edge brought to the table and went with that model. (Gave the Note Edge to my sis). But I really really miss the S Pen. So Yeah I'm looking forward to the Note 8. On a side note (pardon the pun), I hope Samsung releases a developers edition of the Note 8 on Sprint and not just on Verizon (as in the past) and have it use Adaptive Storage. The current locked down S7 and S7 Edge without adaptive storage seriously limits the storage space on the device. TS

ha, seems I had a mind fart. I already had put that in the map list back in 2014 but completely forgot.

I believe you may have misread, unless there was one created and I didn't see it. But still AT&T sites on a Sprint forum?

220.94mb to be precise. Version: G935PVPU4ZPLN/G935PSPT4ZPLN/G935PVPU4ZPLN Installing now

I can't tell if I am on the 2nd or 3rd beta update, (G935PVPU4ZPLH) but the issue the phone rebooting seems to have stopped as well as the Hotspot now working. Only wish Adaptive Storage was available. TS

It makes sense if they add the stereo speakers, but that too is a rumor. Only time will tell. TS

It states Touch and Security but doesn't really go into too much detail. I'm updating now as I type. TS
