What's the point of staying a loyal customer to sprint?
I saw that on android central, and al I can say is le boo.
Well, at least they are moving the new customer pricing up to 20 months for upgrades, that's cool.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Those one year upgrades have got to cost them a bundle. That's the only perk I'll miss.
Well...at least we get 20 month upgrades. But the rest sucks.
Looks like ill have to go back to getting 1 year upgrades from assurion.
"Excuse me, my epic mysteriously got dropped in the toilet, then broken in half, then microwaved somehow, then I lost it.What's that, your out of epics? Well I'm not getting off the phone till I get an equal or better replacement. Why yes, ill take the epictouch if i have too. Since it doesn't have a keyboard, your going to comp me the deductible, right? Kthanxbai!"

But really, what % of lines qualify for that? Sprint premier is something that helped them keep customers long term. Now people won't have an incentive to stay. Now the only thing Sprint will have to hold it's hat over T-mo is true unlimited data.
Wow!!! That really sucks big time :S BIG TIME....I really hate this.

How often do they not have replacement phone at assurion?
coming next.... true unlimited data goes away. after that price increases to match the competition. i'm done with sprint. my service has been too shoddy recently in areas that other companies have been good (including ATT) if i'm going to end up paying the same amount as those companies i'm jumping ship.

Ugh, why Sprint? One of the things I liked about you was actually caring about us customers. Now with this, the iPhone, maybe eliminating our unlimited data it just seems they want to be like Verizon and AT&T and be "one of the big boys on the block."

That is totally GACHO ! This was one of the major benefits of staying with Sprint all these past 7 years ..... they better NOT change the unlimited data or they will lose customers because that is another main reason for choosing Sprint !
Well I've been a customer for 15 yrs. I still say they are better than the other carriers but i'm tired of getting dicked over. But that is the new company standard?

The first time someone sucsesfully pulls this, I garuantee there will be a massive thread. That's how I got a diamond (they were out of the vogue) and a tp2 (they were out of touch pro 1s)
It happens. Thbey usually will be out of stock for a few days while they are awaiting refurbs and will have to offer something from the authorized exchange list.
Its amazing how many phones take a bath that week.

There are rumors of people in miami getting 3G on their phones. Can someone possibly confirm this? I called Metro directly and found out that there are at least 5 other cities running on 3G.

I was reading another board where folks in Orlando were getting 3g Also read someone in Tampa getting it I upgraded the .prl to 3022 but no luck so far

I also swapped to prl 3022 but nothing happened. I'm so pissed that we don't have 3G in thia area of Florida (Cape Coral, Fort Myers, Naples), you know, I just got the crazy idea of making an online protest against MetroPCS. We should gather a bunch of people from different areas of Florida that do not have 3G coverage and plan on doing something like that. Maybe when we have 1000 people protesting for the same thing and threatening to leave MetroPCS then they'll do something about it. Again just a thought.

What people fail to realize is if 3g is everywhere your bill will go up and you will have a data cap to cover overages and you will end up with a at&t or Verizon situation the reason why metro is so cheap is because there isn't a 3g if you really want speed upgrade to a 4g phone otherwise be patient until they figure out how much data is being used in major cities and if it's worth the extra costs

It will get better. Now MetroPCS has the LG Esteem 4g it is on their site now so soon they should have to upgrade the system to handle usage. I pay 50 a month with metropcs and i still like it better then the contract companies. Also i read today that sprint is no longer doing one year contracts more folks to metro? never know
Metro is a headache to deal with if you have billing issues, but they're cheap and there's no commitment. That's always nice, but it cuts both ways. They can jack up your price whenever they want.
Contracts aren't solely beneficial to the provider. Sometimes they actually help the customer--I'm on contract for 2 years, for two lines, 1000 shared minutes, unlimited SMS/nights/weekends and 2GB data per device for $100.
It's cheaper than what we were paying for two individual Even More Plus plans (though we did lose 3GB of data). And T-Mobile can't change the price without breaking the contract.
My girlfriend has metro and we live in a city with 3g service. It's super spotty. Even in their most well covered areas, she usually still only gets 1x.
I got teh bootz from sprint due to high data usage. I'll still be around.
SG2 on Tmobile is hot.

Yea, how much is "high"? Sprint is generally very lenient with data usage.
And how did you acrue it? Was it roaming? Tethering?

Bet it was roaming data usage.
I work in security. Basically I babysit empty buildings so I tether on my laptop every night. Playing SC2 and WoW etc. I don't know how much I was pulling but it probably was around 10 gigs a month on average. I think the fact that I've been consistently high for the last 6 months did it in conjunction
with the 4S being released. My roommate on his evo got the boot too.
I'm not paying an ETF but if anyone is interested I have a rooted Epic 4G for sale XD

I sent you a PM.
Also I'd like to add that the stratosphere (since I was on Verizon for a week trying it out) is a good phone but f verizons data caps. I'm not paying $10 a GB. I don't care who you are money doesn't grow on trees like the way Verizon sees it. I live in Miami so network coverage is iffy on all carriers. Verizon was the worst for me, getting complete data black out zones in great areas. Sprint had the best coverage for me 3G wise but was pretty slow. I'd never get 4G at work. Now on tmo I'm getting 1.5 mb/sec to 1.8 mb/sec over 4G at work. So that's a huge performance gain for me and I haven't even rooted my SG2 yet. Tmo doesn't charge for tethering. Unlimited everything. So yeah I'm pretty happy as long as I don't get teh boot from tmo.

I wonder if the tethering did anything.
SC and WoW use different ports, so I'm sure some easy packet sniffing paints some major red flags. 10 gigs shouldn't trigger any red flags.....

Alright guys if verizon is going to end unlimited data for all users even grandfathered in ones i say we dont go down without a fight!! Next month or every month for that matter lets try to get as many people as possible to use as much data as possible!! (that is unlimited of course) Lets eat up as much data as possible and make verizon think twice about messing with the worlds largest LTE network!! Lets tether,surf, stream and eat data away!!

maybe they will change their minds if so many users start needlessly draining their LTE
How would using more data help? All it does is further justify their "alleged" claims that data congestion affects everyone. If you want to make a difference, leave Verizon. Pay the ETF and switch to pre-paid.

But I can say, I looked at the new evo and just like sprint ...they wanted an extra $10 a month for service. Wtf man, that would bring it to $65....

Metropcs is stronger than Sprint in the LA area and offer a phone like LG Motion. It's a decent phone and if not, they are adding new phones every month.
U can check boost mobile and virgin mobile. They r not that expensive. Metropcs is a option 2 but it sucks in my area.U may be aviable to flash ur current phone to use with boost,virgin or metropcs. I've seen treads about how to do it.
