Sprint: Smartphone Users Need to Pay $10 More
So... Same price as T-Mobile?
Sprint:
450 anytime minutes
unlimited "Anymobile" (unless you are roaming)
unlimited Mobile to Mobile
unlimited texting
unlimited internet
TOTAL $80.00mo. (Smartphones)
$70.00mo (feature phones)
T-Mobile:
500 anytime minutes
no "Anymobile"
unlimited Mobile to Mobile
unlimited texting
unlimited internet
TOTAL: $80.00mo (smartphones)
$60.00mo (feature phones)
I guess Sprint still has a great value on minute packages, Anymobile is a pretty neat hat-trick, but this brings thier pricing in-line with T-Mobile.
Also, it's a LOT easier to just NOT get internet on T-Mobile.

What I'm hoping is that with this change they post a positive quarter. The last thing I want to see is if customers only have a choice between Verizon, ATT, Tmobile (where available, talking smartphone data) or prepaids.
Big 4 is still better than big 3.
On an unrelated note.. can you still get the discounted Tmobile plan if you provide the equipment? I've heard that they removed it entirely, and then that they just took it from the brocures to avoid confusion

but then thats comparing apples and oranges. basically sprint is saying if your gonna pay the same price why not worry about your minutes...
...
i am unsure how many users dont have any discounts. either way tmobile's max discount was what 10 percent and sprint offers much higher depending on whom you work for
...
You might want to check your facts it varies for who you work for. Most people get 15% and i believe some can 18%. Yes some are lower than 15% also
...
Max on Sprint that I have personally seen is 27% and that is not grandfathered either.
Almost a 10% difference.

I wasnt saying tmobile has better discounts available for customers. I was just letting him know that the max isnt 10%

And I was just saying, even if incorrect on the first part, he was right. The inference of "what is it, 10%?" usually means "I have no idea so I'm going to throw out an obligatory, round number.

One of the downfalls of forums is that people present themselves as experts, and influence people by their words, but dont have or present all of the facts. Just so you know, T-Mobile has been over the last couple of months been offering:
79.99
1500 anytime minutes
unlimited t-mo to t-mo
unlimited data including smartphones
unlimited messaging
I do not really want to get into the debate of who is better, because it frankly I dont feel like it, and each carrier has its positives and negatives. I am just saying, do a fair comparison and present all of the facts.

I don't mean to try and come across as an "expert" or anything... but I have been working for this industry for almost a decade and specifically for T-Mobile for three years.
So yeah, maybe I am an expert.
I'm not going to compare Sprints regular pricing to T-Mobiles promotional pricing. It would be an unfair and temporary comparison.
Just so you know, over the last few months, T-Mobile has also been running a 3000min family plan, $5.00 add-a-lines (which ended a couple of days ago) and extremely good international texting rates. In the last year they have offered $0.00 add-a-lines, 200min add-a-lines on family plans in which the first two lines are on an unlimited rate plan for $10.00. They have also offered BOGO on the MyTouch 4...

I strongly disagree with what you are saying. When you compare companies, you compare what they are currently offering at the time, regardless if it is labeled "promotional" or not.
For a customer, who is shopping around, are they going to say, "Wow, I like that plan, but since it is 'promotional', it will not factor it into my decision making. I am only going to compare it to plans that are labeled regular"?
To a customer, a plan is a plan, and they choose the best plan (as well as service and devices) for them, regardless of how it is labeled internally.
It isn't like T-Mobile's plan is a promotional plan that expires in 6 months, after the customer gets it. It is a plan the customer will stay on as long as they dont change.
