Re: 4G LTE
4G could be HSPA...it's certainly fast enough for most but it's not real 4G.
Re: Oh Sprint.
"...a lot of their customers are loosing patience."
I did a long time ago. And then there's my wife. She won't leave because they work where she works. My lowly Metro PCS 4G service is fast while her Boost 3G is painful.
Re: Generous ?
T Mobile's network is great most places. Keep wasting your money...
Re: Had a few people already asking about switching because of this
More like a fear of change. Same thing happens anytime there's an acquisition or merger. I remember AT&T Wireless customers switching in droves during the AT&T/Cingular tie-up in 2004...not so much on the Cingular side though.
Re: Pro Government Goons
Has NOTHING to do with copyright or licensing. My phone, my business. It would be like buying a PC locked into windows with no legal option to change it to Linux. Nonsense. It's your hardware.
Pro Government Goons
What the pro-government goons on this site don't understand is this legislation shouldn't be required in the first place. The fact that it is proves over reach by the government.
Re: Coverage......
Come on. Have you ever used a Metro phone outside of the coverage area? They have roaming agreements in place with Sprint and US Cellular. I have no problems with Metro in rural areas.
Nice Specs...
From Pantech?

Re: Why?
Those who give up their liberty for more security neither deserve liberty nor security.
Re: Why?
This is not Israel. This is not China, North Korea, or Iran. Government cannot shut down communication for an "emergency!"
Just wait until it's a simple protest. You guys can't run scared and expect the government to help you. A very slippery slope.
Re: Why?
The government should not be shutting down communication for ANY reason. WOW!
Re: Well, well, well....
Dish is flush with cash and they want to offer "bundles." That's the official answer. The unofficial answer is they're flush with cash and they want a new toy.
Re: Oh what fun!
It's a lame way for Verizon to show investors and customers that they can play in the prepaid arena. Why anyone would opt for this with SO many other prepaid options is beyond me.
FINALLY!
THE ZUNE PHONE WILL BE HERE!

Re: Well.....
With all of the great all you can use plans, this really seems unnecessary.
Re: Thinking Of Switching
There is no speed reduction on T-Mobile.
Re: Thinking Of Switching
NOPE. Unlimited is available at T-Mobile and Sprint for the National carriers. If you're in a Metro PCS market they also have an unlimited plan.
Re: T-Mobile tanking in USA?
Two major shareholders on the MetroPCS side are opposed. That said, those two aren't majority shareholders. I'm not counting this merger out yet.
Re: Sprint's JD Power ranking drops, ATT now # 2
"Still, Verizon seems to be able to consistently have the best network..."
It's been my experience that this is just marketing. Remember all of the LTE interruptions last year? Verizon is still to this day the only carrier that drops on a major interstate by the airport in my market.
I think all of the networks are good enough on the voice side of things. I think slow data is good enough across all of the networks at ...
Re: Sprint's JD Power ranking drops, ATT now # 2
All of the carriers are the same Jay. Until people start demanding more by investing in wireless wisely we're stuck with the horrible service we have. My experience with AT&T and Verizon are the worst carriers on earth but they're the largest.
Re: Thinking of switching ?
I would try to be patient. I'm with you on the unlimited data. Another option for you would be T-Mobile. They have 4G ish...It's faster than Sprint's EVDO and you can get it without a contract. That said, it's a lot of work for what might be little value for you.
Re: Thinking of switching ?
Are you in a Metro PCS market? Their 4G isn't nearly as fast as Verizon, but it is unlimited and substantially faster than the EVDO 3G at Sprint.
Re: 2005 called............
Because I use my tablet for most things I could easily get into a basic phone again. What I would miss is my GPS.
Re: Do you have an unlimited data plan? (NT)
I guess you gotta know your phones. I never noticed that and have used them a few times.
Re: Do you have an unlimited data plan? (NT)
I think there's a few things to consider here. MOST people don't use nearly as much data as they think. It's possible with the new plans to get out a little bit better depending on your usage.
If you're one of those data hogs if you will maybe you should consider voting with your feet. T-Mobile, Sprint, and Metro PCS all have unlimited data. The down side is LTE is non-existent at T-Mobile, limited at Sprint, ...
Re: 2005 called............
Smart phones still only have a 60% market penetration. 40% is still a lot of people to serve.
Re: Satisfaction
My wife is a longtime Sprint customer and I can't get her to leave. The coverage is great most places we travel and works great at home. She has switched over to Boost for the cost savings. You may want to give one of the many Sprint MVNO's a try.
Re: Will Virgin Mobile and Boost branding go the way of Nextel...
Doubtful. These really are two different markets they're targeting. The pricing tells you that. I'd worry about people wanting to churn from the $109 plan at Sprint on contract to the $70 prepaid plan.
Re: This is how the industry should have been the whole time.
Metro has done this from the start (except the financing part) and they don't have any issue targeting the low end of the market. I think it's great. My $30 phone bill doesn't hurt either.
Re: Maybe someone can tell me...........
1) The merger hasn't happened yet.
2) The existing network will be around for years after the merger.
3) You still have to attract and maintain customers.
4) A phone often spends months in the development stage. It's possible or even likely this one was developing before the merger was announced.
Re: 2.3!!!!!
They use 2.3 so they don't have to provide much storage on board.
Re: This plan is not Unlimited
T mobile and Sprint have fine networks as does AT&T for that matter. Put the red kool aid down and walk away. Verizon is overpriced for brand sake. Page Plus doesn't have the brand.
Re: This plan is not Unlimited
Nor is it competitive with other prepaid options.
Re: Iphone 4s on Tmo, pros & cons
You paid T-Mobile shill. Why aren't you honest that you don't get 4G speeds over the majority of the network. This is how you get dissatisfied customers. Instead of recommending one of the brilliant Android or Windows Phone handsets on your network you recommend something that will lead to churn. Do you think this is wise business?
Re: Iphone 4s on Tmo, pros & cons
SLOW 2.5G speeds unless you're in one of the lucky markets they've converted.
With all of the exceptional Android equipment available on T-Mobile I just have to ask why you want an obsolete Apple phone?
Re: Contract extension without new phone?
Contesting it depends on whether she signed a new contract. If she did, you need to demand a copy of it and if it can't be produced you're home free.
If it was a verbal contract made with a call center, you have to demand a tape of the conversation. If it can't be produced again, you're home free.
Don't misunderstand my home free statements. You will likely spend hours talking to multiple supervisors who will tell you ...
Re: interesting...
Nokia is aggressive in their pricing due to their market share problem.
Re: When the Facts Don't Support Your Position
Just go back to your job in compliance, or as an analyst, or whatever it is you claim to do today.
Whatever you do, don't expect to post lies about ANY carrier on this forum and not get called out.
Re: opps my bad, i fed a troll
I don't know that he's mad...just all that stuff he's been telling his customers about Metro PCS turned out to be lies. I've heard all of these arguments against Metro from representatives of all 3 national carriers.
When the Facts Don't Support Your Position
Name call.
