Any Mobile/Simply Everything

Okay. I've been a Sprint fan ever since the Simply Everything plan launched. The new commercials bashing AT&T and VZW's Unlimited Voice offerings for $69.99 are cool, but Sprint should go ahead an add in unlimited calling to landlines as well. DO IT SPRINT! DO IT!

Then what would be the point of the Simply Everything plan? Sprints Everything Data Plan is superior to the others plans as far as what you get.

I agree, make it all unlimited at $69.99, and we will see a major turn in the cellphone industry. It's not like landlines actually cost Sprint more to dial into than other cellphones do.

you wont see anything change in the cell phone industry. Sprint is so far behind and they give the farm away and still lose customers. Until they start adding like verizon and att they will not sway either of them to change anything major. It hasn't for years and will not for years.

The only one who's far behind is YOU. Sprint is now adding customers, thanks to the EVO and other bold moves they have recently made.

You Fail, sprint added subscribers the last quarter, and is the most improved company in the us in customer service over the last 2 years. They are on par with Verizon with new phones (some would say the best in the industry).

Sprint did add customers last quarter. But how about the 8 quarters before? 1 positive quarter isn't a turn around.

Most improved in Customer Service huh? I guess not having lawsuits against your customer service is an improvement. You call in with a question and end up with your contract renewed without knowledge of it or any documents signed.

clap clap

The customer loss has gone down each quarter for the last 6 quarters, and your story can happen on any carrier. Check JD power and associates if you have real questions about customer service and how sprint is ranked 2nd among the 4 major in customer service now.

People here have no clue how to read and comprehend. My point was a response that if sprint added landlines for that price it would not change the cell industry. They are not a major factor in how the other two do business. They have had better plans and give you allot if you ask and have steady lost customers until yes just last quarter. But my point is if att or verizon did unl everything for 69.99 then att would have no choice to follow and the others. Get it now. I like sprint other they did me wrong when I had them but I had no issues with phones or network.

I didn't understand your point. the first half of that paragraph was going smooth, but then the last half just seemed like random words. and then you said:

"if att or verizon did unl everything for 69.99 then att would have no choice to follow"

I don't understand what you were trying to get across.

wombough

Aug 25, 2010, 6:40 PM
what I meant is if one of the big two (att or verizon) offered 69.99 like sprint then whoever didn't offer it the other would have to follow.

The other would follow sure. Yet neither need to. They are doing fine without giving away to much. Suprisingly, people are ok paying more to them without thinking. America is full of sheep.

people will pay for good service it is just a fact. Walmart is losing ground form this fact. They lost sight of the customer service aspect. They miscalculated thinking people will shop there just for low prices and they are paying now. I would rather shop at publix then walmart or go to kohls or something else. I hate going to walmert anymore.

Now with verizon I have 3g everywhere (at least in all my travels) my buddy with att doesn't have voice something were we go let alone 3g. I don't have data issues he gets once in a while. And sprint here forget it. But I found them good on the road due to there roaming agreements. So yes I will pay a little more to verizon to have that great service. And I have never had an issue with CS on the ...

one thing for my point. VM cames out with $40 unl data plan. Verizon comes back with a $80 5gb plan. You see my point on they are not worried about VM or sprint until they start taking subs away from them. Once sprint and I think it is possible starts taking subs then sprint can alter what att and verizon do.

🤨

Prepaid companies are always cheaper than post-paid. All cell phone carriers get calls from customers who want to switch to a much cheaper prepaid service. There are benefits to being with a post-paid carrier, and therefor no pre-paid service worries post-paid at all. In fact, many of the 'competing' pre-paid companies are ran by the post-paid companies, so it does not hurt them at all when a customer switches.

that 80 dollar plan was prepaid with Verizon. My point is sprint is not a prepaid carrier and has way cheaper plans but doesn't add the numbers the other two do. And until they do sprint can offer 19.99 a month for everything and neither would follow till the customers do.

What if the people still paying $99.99 for their high-landline usage Simply Everything plans are the ones really supporting my paycheck? Like, to make $69.99 unlimited across the board, Sprint would have to cut money somewhere, and I'm sure it would not be in personal profit.

Aug 24, 2010, 9:52 PM
yes they probably would cut the commission on the plans, but think how many more plans you would sell. I would pay my etf from alltel right now and switch to sprint for a true unlimited plan for 70 bucks. and i have 3 lines.

My mom does. She is effectively keeping me on Verizon where I can use Friends and Family. I only have one F&F number (my Google number) the other nine are for her and she uses them, too. Only one of her nine is a cell number.

We don't get paid so much on sales, most of our pay is based on customer satisfaction via outbound surveys. That would definately drop if they were paying less monthly on average. Lower payed employees equals a lesser customer service experience (nobody wants to be paid the equivelant of a burger-flipper for a job that really is more difficult). And when customer service sucks, cheap plans won't be enough to keep customers!

So, long story short, I don't think that the rates of plans is solely for corporate profit; they have *a lot* of employees to pay to talk customers through using their phones. If the customer's didn't call in so much, and went through greater lengths to solve their own troubleshooting issues (essentially only calling w...

You think like a Democrat. If Sprint were to cut Simply Everything to $69.99, it would pull subscribers from AT&T and VZW.

Amarantamin

Aug 28, 2010, 1:46 PM
Oh, right, let me correct myself.

I have no problem working minimum wage so that we may pull more subscribers from other carriers and increase my workload! So long as upper-management makes a profit, I am happy to serve!
...
Azeron

Aug 29, 2010, 1:33 AM
Are you making minimum wage now? Hmmmmmm... So you want things to remain status quo? Interesting... Yep! You've made my point...again. If Sprint fails to grow the business, they will be forced to cut jobs...again. Good luck to you.

Amarantamin

Aug 29, 2010, 1:55 PM
I'm not making minimum wage now... 🤨

But, I've already agreed to go down to minimum wage so that customers can be offered dirt-cheap plans and management can be rich. It's no problem for me, because I support America!

I think that alot of people would switch to sprint, and it would prevent alot of people from switching to boost or something like that.

I get a lot of people on the simply everything moving to boost, because boost is half the price. if sprint was only $20 more, I think a lot of people wouldn't bother with the switch.

I really cannot believe that you would be asking one of the Big 4 companies to give you unlimited everything for $69.99. I understand you want to save where you can. In all reality $69.99 for unlimited text, unlimited data, 450 minutes to landlines or businesses, and unlimited calling to all cell phones just listen to that plan. I have been with verizon, atnt, cellular one, and sh** tmobile and I can guarantee you that they cannot compete with that plan. I've had sprint for a little under two months and they are by far the best that I've had. Customer service EXCELLENT, PLANS SUPER, cell quality GOOD. I cannot even believe you are still asking for more. SMH 🤣

I'm not even on a data plan. I'm on the messaging 1500 with my wife and In-laws. I work for sprint, and my customers want more.

I'm just saying that other than landlines, the plan is essentially unlimited. Why not just take out that last barrier. It would make the plan easier to understand, and the amount of money that it costs sprint for our customers to call landlines, would far be outweighed by new customers, as well as people upgrading their plans.
