Sprint Still # 1

I give Tmobile two thumbs up but they still fall short of the everything data plan 450 for 69.99. If you have a bb you still have to do that bb add on which comes with the plan that sprint has to offer. Also the network at sprint is better. Good Try Tmobile you almost have it. But with Unt mobile Calling on the sprint plan it's like having an unt plan for 69.99 than if you do happen to get 15-25% off like most due based on whom they work with they save even more.

sorry dude, hate to burst your sprint bubble but $79.99 gets you unlimited everything including bb devices. unlike sprint who only gives you 450 mins to call land lines and to roam, you'll use those min up just calling customer care every month to fix your bill or complain that your phone sucks to someone who doesn't speak English after getting transferred 6 times. plus, when the other carriers make changes to the company its to combat at&t and Verizon and not sprint. they don't consider a company who continues to churn more customers than any other network despite the "awsome" , oh an why would they worry about a company who's stock is $3.50 or so a share and will probably be bought out in 2 years anyway. "well sprint has 4g!" ..... who car...

There is room for confusion. Tmobile didn't do a very good job updating their website. Take a look at the "optional services" on the description of the unlimited plans

http://www.t-mobile.com/shop/plans/cell-phone-plans- ... »

Why are you comparing Sprint's 450 minute plan to TMobile's unlimited plan? If you want to say the Tmobile's in $79.99 vs. $99.99 at Sprint, you have a valid argument provided you are comparing equivalent phones and take their prices into account.

For example, if you take the two providers current ly available most expensive Android phone, the MyTouch vs. HTC Hero. The monthly difference in cost is less than $7.

I didn't include things like higher sales tax on the full retail phone, as that varies and is probably offset by taxes on the phone bill.

hahaha your right after all the mess ups on the bill the plan does come out to be about $699.99. Sprint is nowhere near #1, i mean come on they lost around 1 million customers between Jan 08 and July 08. What does that say about Sprint ontop of that their customer service is hell on earth. I would rather have Revol or Cricket than switch to Sprint!

I agree with Ptp713

Even though I myself am a T-Mobile customer, these new plans (though very nice) cant beat Sprints plan.

AnyTime AnyMobile is = to Unlimited Minutes.

I for one only call 1-3 landlines and if I do, its for a very short time. The other 97% of my phone calls are to cellphones. AnyTime AnyMobile allows unlimited calling to ANY cellphone.

Sprint has 3G EVERYWHERE. Unlike T-Mobile. You might have great speeds in Philly but head up to Wyomissing, Reading, hell; even Allentown and No 3G service from T-Mobile available, your back on EDGE.

Sprint Tv.

Sprint NFL.

The HTC HERO is better then the MyTouch.

Sprint Customer service is trash still. Always has been, probably always will be.

No Contract for T-Mo...

ok, ill give you any mobile to mobile = unlimited, although not everyone only calls cell phones all the time ( they should though). sprint has a good network, tmobile is good...and getting tons better really fast. nfl network i do not care for cause it freezes half the time anyway, but saying the hero is better than the mytouch is a little much.

specs -

hero- ram-512 rom-288
mytouch- ram-512 rom-198
mytouch LE- ram-512 rom-288

hero- 5meg camera
mytouch and LE- 3.2meg

hero- 2gig card in box(according to htc website)
mytouch- 4gig
mytouch LE- 16gig

hero- $179 after $100 MIR (good luck trying to get rebate back)
mytouch- $149 2yr $199 1yr $399 no contract
mytouch LE- $199 2yr $249 1yr $449 no contract

sense ui is just ...

Okay maybe I spoke to a non english speaking rep well to of them when I called Tmobile to change my plan and they stated that I would have to add the bb pack on my account so if i'm wrong hey i'm sorry but I think I'm right.

That goes to this point the service level at Tmobile is not as great as it has been. I have had Tmobile sense they started {rmr the 1st song cam phone with the cam you had to add} Yeah I been around and they have feel off. The last time I spoke to a english rep was hummm I dont even remember.

Plus where I live the sprint service is 10x better take into account I live in Houston. I have a Bb on Sprint and the 69.99 plan plus my discount or even w/o my discount is way better.

ok, i spoke to a service rep and they told me that roaming was not included, my bad, i got wrong information too, but this is not nothing new, thier customer service is and always will be horrible, you had a bad experience with tmobile, but the reality is they are always number one in customer service and satisfaction in a nationwide study. tmobile plans are great, when customers look for cell service, most are turned away from sprint based off reputation alone so they look at att, verizon and tmobile. when you start to compare prices, and the fact that android is blowin up and tmobile will have 5 devices before xmas and with new divices releasing next year ( nokia n900 and HTC HD2) along with HSPA+ and 4G starting next year, tmobile is goin...

It's NOT=to unlimited calling. If it were it would be UNLIMITED CALLING! Just because in your world you don't call landlines does not mean the rest of the world is like you. Give me a break. I love Simply Everything. I am on record as wanting Sprint to succeed because we consumers NEED more than two carriers but please don't play like that. Sprint should break down and offer an Unlimited Voice and Unlimited Voice and Messaging plans at lower price points. They may be better than T-Mobile without doing so but please do not make the argument that Any Mobile calling is Unlimited calling. It Simply Is NOT.

So here's another fact If I want to change to one of the plans seeing i'm in a contract right now I have to pay a 200.00 etf to switch to the SOOOOO GREAT NON CONTRACT PLANS I understand that but also there is a 35.00 fee to change the plan.... Still think that's better?

dude, give it up. if a customer activated before Oct. 25th and wants to switch to even more plus there is no etf, if activated after the 25th with an even more plan and wants even more plus of course there is an etf since you are getting out of your current agreement. there are migration fees of $35 for the first 2 lines moved and the rest are free but if a customer has a discount program ,which 8 out of 10 customers do, then there is no fee, plus with the money saved per month even if they are charged then it pays for itself in a month or two. there, you just learned something today.

You must be Flex Pay Huh...sorry to hear that but as long as you are not flex pay T-Mobile has no offices outside the US (except Vancover so as long as Aye isn't annoing you should be fine).

We have a unlimited talk and text at $125.00 per month. The migration to the lesser plan will cost us $35 and T-Mobile refuses to waive fee. What steps do you know that waives this $35 fee. The new plan does saves us $35 per month after we pay the $35 to save us $35.

well, if your business offers a discount with tmobile or if your military or go to school then they can put a discount on your plan which waives the fee, but the discount will not apply to the new plan.

Ptp713:

The best way to circumvent the contract termination fees is by using the Flexpay service. The only issue is that with the new T-Mobile plans pose to a Flexpay customer is they are subject to a$35 transfer fee. And that sucks.

If anyone knows a way to have that $35 fee waived please let us know.

unfortunatly there is no way to get the fees waived for flexpay, justgo into it conisdering the cost savings over the time you are with tmobile and it will probably pay itself off in a few months.
