nope didn't pay me, just satisfied with my service like you are with yours, and eh, i've never had that slow of 3g speeds in my area but as i said, 98% of the time 4g and wifi
I have been with sprint for 4 years and am deeply disappointed with the service. My phone has never been able to use the unlimited data i pay for because they won't fix the cell tower in my area, everyone they tell get a discount because of my upgrade find a way rack up my bill 500$+, and the people inn the store are real dicks to me 90% of the time. I only stay because they offer free stuff when I try to quit then I find them charge my on forementioned bill which I have to spend 3 hours+ ironing out over the phone.

Been with them for 2 years and they're letting me out of my contract a year early (it was supposed to end May 2013 because they let me upgrade early). I also used to be a Sprint tech. Their data speeds are HORRIBLE and they know it. Here, they don't even try to argue with me. They just let me out of my contract: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26968947&postcount=4947

The one thing I will applaud Sprint on is their customer service; they're pretty lenient once you get the right rep, and honestly they're a really nice company when pitted against AT&T or Verizon. Their weakest link is their data speed, and if they fix that, then I may come back. Till then I'm off to an AT&T GoPhone SIM with a Galaxy S3 International or Straight Talk AT&T.
I hope NV makes things better

It's a reason that this merger HAS to be denied.
4 -1 =/= MORE choices.
What is the point of being excited about people not having choices?
Maybe some people are either so narrow-minded or have such little in their lives that they get excited about stuff like this?
I for one was excited as lower prices from one carrier might push another into lower prices but hey let's keep prices higher and get excited about stupid stuff like things NOT benefiting the customer
Im not getting excited im further more showing why people should stay with sprint and keep it strong before going to companies that do things like this

Tmobile just got rid of the Even More PLUS plan, which is the $59 plan with no contract and no phone subsidy. The $79 unlimited plan with a 2 year contract is still available.
I like Sprint, but Tmobile(who I was with for 8 years before getting my Evo) has good data speed in reception in my area. Their customer service is probably the best too.
I like my Sprint plan, but I'd also like to have more options in the future especially now that my annual upgrade ironically got downgraded.

I understand what you're saying and I agree that choices are good but T-Mobile is really no better than att nor Verizon.
The only difference is they have Sprint prices.
Sprint's the ONLY carrier that offers a way to get yearly upgrade....does it suck they changed the way to get it? Yes, I was subject to that change and it sucks. But at least its an option!
As far as the speeds, yeah that's great in the few areas that its a good signal...but after 2gb of usage you get edge speeds...
On a bad month I use 4g of data and that's just normal usage...not downloading anything special.
Basically the people that get their rocks off over stuff like this are the ones that need to feel justified to stay with Sprint.

No, that's throttling. I said it before, and honestly say this seriously, but I get edge/1x like speeds on Sprint. A lot of people on Sprint are. So to get 2GB on HSPA+ and the rest on edge is not a bad deal for some. I'm a heavy data user too but I'm on WiFi 75% of time (office at work + home), so either way, I don't use over 2GB on the network anyway. There's a couple of use cases where this deal is better, and don't forget that this has unlimited calling. That's be great for a business line like how I kind of use my Sprint line.

i just went on tmos site and saw 500 min + unlimited texting and data for $50.
if you go the off contract route you can get unlimited calling, text, and data for $70.
not bad. i believe the on contract plan throttles you off of hspa+/3g after 2GB and the off contract throttles you after 5GB. the $70 plan is pretty sweet if you buy a hspa+ $200-300 phone on ebay.
Good luck with your reception, T-Mobile has rather sparce reception here.
LOL, I was talking to a Sprint rep yesterday and I asked him "off the record" what kind've phone he uses (Evo) if it was rooted (it is, and he recognized my user name from here) and what he thought of Sprint basically telling the courts that said we can do whatever we want to our phones, knowingly voiding the warranty as is our choice, and he agreed... lol
dude that said haters gonna hate.....i dont hate i just dont like being screwed, you just say that because you work for sprint..i have 2 tmo touch pro 2. basically the closest i could get to the current service i have with tmo which is $150 a month cost me $260 a month with sprint and they wanted $30 more to be able to use usb tethering and $20 a month for premium data.then they tacked on $20 more a month for a 3rd line fee for the broadband card i have **** all that noise that its free with tmobile

Cheaper I dont think so... 3 lines with tmobile and there unlimited data was around the same price until I dropped my internet at home stopped using wifi calling and was throttled 2 weeks.into the month...

I don't understand how your bill is that high!
1. My bill is roughly $75 a month for 450 Lan unlimited, though I have a corporate discount if 25%.
2. Root your phone for wireless tethering.
3. So that means for me even with two lines that's only $150 a month.
I could understand though if you don't use your phone often. I average 20gb a month so $75 a month for extreme data, over 6,000 texts, and a lot of calls is worth it to me.

My only gripe with Sprint is having to pay for "4g" when I have no hope of ever seeing 4g.
I am on sero and had to upgrade to sero premium to use the Evo...plus another $10/mo for "4g" data...which will likely reach my area a week after the apocalypse.
Went from $34/mo for 500/unlimited everything to $54 for the "privilege" of using the Evo. Ah well...still cheap as hell, i guess.

Sprint officially announced that its very first LTE tower cluster is now operational, thus marking yet another significant milestone in its Network Vision plan. The said tower array blankets the town of Kankakee, Illinois, which is located 60 miles south of Chicago. What Sprint also said is that field testing of its LTE infrastructure has been completed, meaning that the aggressive LTE rollout it announced earlier this year is still on track.

Heh, according to Sprint you are paying for the extra amount of data that smartphones use. Even though I thought my Palm Pre used a reasonable amount of data as well and that didn't have the surcharge. The iPhone 4 has no 4G and they pay the $10 too.

You must be on an old grandfathered plan, because this is what I see on the Sprint Blackberry page:http://shop2.sprint.com/en/stores/popups/blackberry_plan_details_popup.shtml
"Some important things to know about BlackBerry® smartphones
Plans for this phone require our $10/mo. Premium Data add-on charge in addition to one of the plans below."
And in smaller print about half way down the page it says
"Effective 1/30/11, monthly service plan rates for this phone increased to require the monthly $10 Premium Data add-on charge. Phone requirements: Certain phones require activation on a plan that includes data, other select plan or add-on. Premium Data Add-on: Smartphones include BlackBerry®, Android™, Windows® Mobile, Palm , Instinct® family of devices and other select devices."

I just read a thread (can't post a link on mobile) that sprint will be changing their discount to just one line and charging 19.99 for the 2nd line.
This is grounds for etf free cancellation!! Just thought I give you all heads up as I haven't seen a thread in here about it.

Sprint employee discount change
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium
I doubt a change to a discount program will allow a free etf.
yes this does allow you to end your contract. Been confirmed by many on Android Police.

It has been confirmed by sprint employees on xda as well that they have been informed to allow etf free cancellation. It is a breach in contractual agreement as the price is changed as well.
Well that's good. I still don't think you would be better off financially to switch to another carrier. I would hope people switch for better data speeds/phone choices or something because if you are doing it just to stick it to Sprint you will probably end up paying more anyway.
Tmboile's closest plan is $80 per month with 2gb data
Verizon's closest is $90 and with 450minutes and 2gb data
att is $90 I think for 3gb and 450 minutes...their website sucks( and they have a weird $30 unlimited messaging/data plan but it looks like that is more of a feature phone plan on not web access. Their normal 3gb with unlimited messaging is $50($20 +$30))
I am guessing most people get the best discount with Sprint so don't switch because you think it's going to be cheaper. Your best bet price-wise if you do switch is probably t-mobile if you get a good enough discount and if you want to put up with their coverage....(it's bad in my area anyway.)
It still gives you a chance to switch and I'm thinking about it. Big red has been on my radar for a while now and they have coverage here with LTE in tow. With my employee discount it will be cheaper than sprint.

I guess it depends on how much data you use. Big Red's data plans are Highway Robbery. Obviously none of us are grandfathered in on the other carriers' data (un)limits. Everyone else is faster where I am, but my speeds are more that sufficient for what I use my phone for. I left TMO for the unlimited data on Sprint, even though TMO's 3g blows 4g WiMax out of the water here.

Look at Tmobile prepaid plans...

I was excited when I first saw this and immediately rushed to Big Red's site for deals. Even though they were running a double data special it was still a huge rip off. As much as Sprint sucks the unlimited plan is really the only way I can go.

Deep Idle does NOT cause your phone to use less power when screen is off. It already goes into Deep Sleep for that. Deep Idle ONLY gives battery savings when using your phone with screen off, such as when playing music or using GPS.

Amazon has the galaxy nexus for $100.00 on Big Red

Although Sprint has the slowest speeds and coverage, the other carrier's are so much more expensive and just you guys wait, by 2013 Sprint will be better than ever with unlimited LTE plans, I have faith in Sprint
Can I opt out if I chose to without paying etf? I don't have employer discounts on my bill

No. Since the change won't affect you adversely you cannot.

Yup
First lady in retentions said she couldn't waive the ETF until I asked to speak with the manager.
Called a second time to see how long I had to port my number before they turned off my line. That guy said he could only waive the ETF fee on one line, not both. Made him speak to the manager and correct himself also.
Is it just me or will they try to make you pay the fee any way they can?

They will try to get over.
When I first called the guy was like well if you cancel because of this we will give you a discount on your etf fee. I told him no and explained to him that sprint has changed our contractual agreement and thus it is now void. I will not pay any fee, he said ok your right.
Moral of the story have any information readily available when you want to get something done right the first time. All companies are crooks and only think about their bottom line.
I am leaving because I chose them because of my discount program through my wife's job. 25% off total bill, with the change my bill will go up by $7.00. Though $7.00 may be small in comparison to other carriers, good choice of phone and great coverage are 2 things sprint does not have so I will bite the bullet on cost and get what I pay for. Though Tmobile in my situation is the cheapest and best coverage in my area. But I may go back to att....
Just popped in to say bye and thanks to all the devs for the awsome roms. Going to move over to t mobile in november. Sick of sprints slow speeds on spark. Spint has been in financial trouble for years. Moody's downgraded sprint last month. Sprint is carrying so much debt and I just do not see any improvements in their service due to lack of capital.
It was a fun ride. To all who worked so hard for our enjoyment. Thank you so much. I will see some of you on the t mobile side.
Again Thank you devs and friends.
Ill be around for a couple more weeks until I pull the plug. Thinking of giving the lg v10 a shot. I know they are a pita to work on. Might not root. Nah, thats impossible for me.
Cheers.

LIBERTY or DEATH
Well i left tmobile for sprint because of the 10 gig data limit . That's wasn't enough data so i went with sprint for unlimited data well . Im ready to go back to tmobile as well at least i could use the 10 gigs i can't even use 5 gigs on sprint network is horrible. Thought it was just my phone nope its sprint. My second note 4 still have the same data issuses .
I got unlimited data and it's 20 times faster than Sprint. I live near Dallas tx and Sprint really is bad. On a good day I would get maybe 2mbs. Steadily getting mid 20's with t mobile.
As for the lg v10. I'm liking it so far. Sweet phone. Plus a free 200 gig sd card, spare battery and dock. 64 gig internal memory. Finally I can watch you tube videos in hd. Lol.
Now, to root or not to root.

How did you switch? Did you have to pay a lot to sprint to leave?
I'm waiting for my contact to run out in 3 months, then looking elsewhere for an unlimited data service in Michigan
Yeah yall go ahead and pay those big data fees, I'll keep my unlimited data with Sprint.

No. My wife had a brand new note 5 through Sprint. I had note 4. T mobile paid for us to leave. Gave us credit for the phones. And gift cards to pay off Sprint. I'm loving it. I'm not kidding. With Sprint I had .5 -2mbs. Now I can watch a 1080p video on you tube WITH NO BUFFERING. I'm happy.

Unlimited data 80.00 a month. 40 times faster than Sprint.

Yes.. it's unlimited but they will prioritizing (slow you down, you dont get lte anymore but rather 2 or 3 g till your month is up) you use a lot of data in a month. By doing that, it allow others users in your area to use the data.... is like capping but they call prioritization.
Yes they do. After 21 gigs. They do throttle. But that is still faster what Sprint had in Dallas area. I don't care. They are upfront about throttling. Sprint was severely throttled all the time. At best I would get 2 mbs. Most of the time it was .5 to .8 mbs.
Secondly. Moody' downgraded Sprint. You can read there report. They said the threat of default was very high. This is going to make the 2.5 billion of debt due this quarter more expensive to roll over.
They said that the cell phone buisiness is very competitive and the bigger ones (verizon, att, t mobile) are going to have a very hard time to remain profitable. Sprint would most likely not survive. Sprint has been in severe financial trouble for years. The service in this Sprint spark area is so bad. I do not see them spending any more money to improve it. I agree with Moody's. They are going to start selling bands to create liquidity. While they do have some liquidity right now. It is going to be burned through quickly. Sprint is carrying 36 billion in debt. 2.5 billion matures this quarter. 2.5 billion early 2016. Yes. The threat of default is very high. So their credit rating was dropped.
This does not mean that default is imminent. It just means that the threat level is high.
This also had a big impact in my decision to go ahead and abandon ship.
Don't trust me. Go do your own research. Its not hard. Sprint is in had shape.

To each his own. Some people love Sprint. Some people get good speeds. I didn't. Others on my framily plan from Denton tx. Plano tx. Dallas tx. And me. We all are having the same issue. Slow speeds.
I pay good money to get data. I'll spend my money where I get the best deal. And t mobile Bill is 20 bucks more for 2 lines unlimited data. For me it's best. While Sprint is unlimited. Their data was way to slow for these times. I would rather have 21 gigs, of 20-40mbs. Then throttled than deal with .5-.8mbs

What do you mean buy T-Mobile paid it? You didn't have to pay the ETF first before they gave you the money?
T mobile paid the remaining valence on the phones

Including taxes/fees? Do you get an upgrade discount on phones every 2 yrs, or do you have to pay full price on a new phone or lease one?
Three upgrades a year. Just turn in your old phone. No not including tax
Sent from my LG-H901 using Tapatalk
T mobile gave us every penny we owed Sprint to switch. We got the trade in as a credit on our Bill. My t mobile Bill right now is -$580. So we have 580 buck to pay off Sprint. The balance we owed is a visa prepaid card.
Sprint is paid off. The phone business is very competitive right now.
If you are one of the ones that have crappy service. There are options out there. Your not trapped by contracts.
I'm happy. I've got very good service.

My speeds with Sprint, unlimited everything for 2 phones only $100. After insurance on 1 device and taxes it's about $140. Happy with Sprint for the most part.
