Not bragging on sprint but pointing out the facts. Sprint is steeping so low to scoop customers that it will force all the other carriers to comply.
...
Sprint is slowly turning into Metro PCS with only slightly better coverage.

May I ask what you mean when you say "steeping so low to scoop up customers"? To me they are giving more for what we already pay. And for someone that works in a call center. Customer act like there at a swap meet when trying to get all the services they can for a already low price. Take a look at prices for cell service back in 2001. What did you get back then? Look what you can get for the same price now. Things are going the right direction. So, Sprint stepping up to give more for the same as other carriers. But if it was Verizon, At&t, or T-Mobile they would be praised for making that step. Cut Sprint just a little slack. They are trying to make things better. I do understand the stigma they have left behind in the past with the old CEO....

I agree with you. I said steep low meaning "lowering" the price to scoop "Deep" to gather more subscribers.

Sorry, did not know where that was going. Thanks for clearing that up. 🙂

Bottom line is: If a carrier has a cellular network it costs them nothing to allow messaging on that network. So what are they really 'giving away'? Nothing.

From what I can tell Sprint isn't cheaper they just "include" a bunch of stuff a lot of people won't use anyway. For example, they give 1500 minutes for their 99.99 Family plan with text. Verizon and AT&T give 700. Most of the people I know would never go over the 700, so it really benefits only a few.
Their Any Mobile, Any Time plan actually eliminate a feature that the "My Circle" plans have. The ability to add land lines. I'd much rather be able to add my wife's office number since her boss objects to her using her cell. Also, they only put it on plans with data.
I actually think things like My Circle, Friends & Family, or AM,AT would better as add-ons to lower minute plans than as automatics on higher minute plans. Those a...

who uses land lines? call your wife at work for 2 minutes? im pretty sure you cant hold a decent conversation when she is at work. also you can just send a text. most people dont even own a home phone these days. plus you have minutes on top of the any mobile any time plan. so you can call a land line using your minutes. Its a great deal, just admit it. When it comes down to it you can either call 20 number for free with my circle or literally thousands if not millions of numbers for free with the any mobile any time. more minutes are better. 700 vs 1500? come on wheres your logic. I know alot of people(especially women) who talk on the phone all the time, 700 measley minutes would be gone in a week or two. seriously.
also its on plans w...

Nice answer. but I do agree with him when he said that most of sprint's newer plans are more beneficial to data users.
But to also add-on we still have sprint to home or sprint to work plans for only $5 a month. It allows you to call any landline or work land line for only $5 and it won't use your minutes.
