Thank god sprint is dying a fast and painful death.

Being forced out of airwaves by the fcc, class action lawsuits, losing (rather than gaining) millions of customers, being rated worst for service nationwide as well as in individual cities by consumer reports and jd powers, wimax partners backing out, cable (comcast, cox, time warner) all backing out of their agreements to offer a "quadruple play" for their customers by giving cell service, Qwest dropping Sprint (supposedly) and probably a lot more that I can't think of off the top of my head. Oh, and don't forget that new unlimited plan that they will surely lose a crap load of money on. LOL!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!

And yes I'm sure that the big guys are trying to get Sprint to go ou...

Man before you laugh, how about thinking twice about your fellow human beings that's going to lose their job if what you're praying for happens. Rather than praying for the ship to sink it's better to pray that Sprint get itself together, improve its services so that everyone would be happy or at least most would be happy.

They can work for another cell phone company or retailer. If the big guys each absorb tens of millions of customers, they'll need people to sell them phones, manage accounts, negotiate deals with Qwest and other MVNOs, etc.

The smart, innovative, and honest Sprint employees will be fine. The rest of them are the reason Sprint failed anyway, so let them lose their jobs.

I love how folks think that 20,000 employees can just switch to another provider. I work for Sprint and although I wanted them to suffer with losing customers, I only wanted that so that they could fix the problem, not go under. They are fixing the problem yet for some reason folks want other people to lose their jobs and investors to lose even more...

You act like Sprint is this big monster, but there are a lot of honest people who are actually working on making it better.

Grow up! 😡 😡 😡

Peace.

Case in point: JD Powers recently ranked Sprint last in overall satisfaction, including network performance, while ranking Virgin mobile, a Sprint MVNO, FIRST in the pre-paid category! Proving once and for all what bogus crapola their surveys and testing really are.


Or, people simply have different, and lower, expectations for prepaid service. 😉

I do agree however that Sprint isn't going anywhere. They may end up getting bought out in the end, though.

The problem with that theory is that even if it is true, it still doesn't explain how Virgin Mobile, using Sprint's network, could beat out Verizon prepaid, if Verizon's network is supposedly better than Sprint's.

not if your a sprint customer, only iden is being impacted if at all, not even all of that specturm is being impacted as i understand it.

If your on the cdma network, this has no effect on your service and your etf is completely valid.

As for nextel customers that will be impacted, I'm obviously only speculating, but by the time the forced removal is going to happen, a issue like this will probably escalate the rollout of DCS, which can be used as an alternative to iden with minimal loss. I would imagine due to the nature of the transition, it will become very similar to our hybrid policy when it rolled out, free hybrids for impacted zones of coverage, those that still didn't like it after 30 days were usually able to cancel with a wai...

DUDE its called sensitive writing. Ignorant people are quick to say "its freedom of speech" instead of THINKING how their words might hurt others. Instead of using your freedom of speech to hurt others why don't you use it to help build eachother up?

Hey Jabba i wish horrible things on you. I hope you become homeless. See you are right they are just words. I am 100% behind the right to freedom of speech, but to use that right to attack other people is wrong. Do I really want something bad to happen to you, no. I do not know you and you have never done anything to me. People on these forums can sit behind their computers and sling hateful words around and because the hateful words are about Sprint, it seems to be okay. It is easy to kick someone when they are down, and it is even easier to jump on the bandwagon.

calm down dude im just trying to protect the fact that we have the freedom of speech. and i try to expose the fact that people always try to control what others say or write. thats why i say let him/her say/write whatever they want we each have the right to our own "opinion" but i do agree with you crowewon
