Re: I dont know where they operate at.......
What 2 years? There is no 2 years. You pay 25 bucks a month until the phone is paid off. Where do you get 2 years?
Nobody said anything about 2 years.
Re: Smart Sonic Receiver audio technology
Perhaps, perhaps not. It may allow one to hear a call in some circumstances when any other method is impossible. I'm thinking industrial locations, around machinery etc. It's not always feasible to have a bluetooth on.
Re: Another reason I can't jump on board with Apple...
Meanwhile, while the claim originality of almost everything, they use other peoples images as icons, like the Swiss Railway clock design. Pathetic.
But the funny part is, they only forced apple to pay them to use it after they witnessed apples aggression towards any company it can think of to drag to court and bully.
Rural LTE
Whoever thinks Verizon has the spectrum but doesn't have a "license to broadcast" is delirious. Owning the lease on the spectrum is all the license they need to use it.
Like all wireless companies, Verizon has coverage partners. Lets use Bluegrass as an example. Verizon coverage in large parts of Kentucky is provided by Bluegrass. Bluegrass may have their own spectrum, use Verizons, or often some of both, but Bluegrass runs the network and has their own customers under ...
New?
Pretty sure this phone has been on sale for almost 6 months. What's the point of this post? And why doesn't Phonescoop have any of the last 10 or so Tracfone, Net10, or Straight Talk phones on their site?
Re: This is awesome!
People who use hot water are the ones who want clean clothing. Whatever added ingredients they add to the tide to make it clean in cold water probably outweigh the benefits of using cold water. If you are using Tide and not one of environmentally friendly soaps that have been on the market for decades, you must not care too much anyway. And some people have solar water heaters so the hot water doesn't hurt anything. Thanks for playing.
Re: Caps, tiers, throttling and overages
There is no reason, other the finite amount of bandwith that exists, the capacity of existing towers and equipment, and the sincere desire to keep the most amount of customers happy, and therefore, you know, remaining customers, not to mention the money they pay each month which goes to pay the salaries of employees, for equipment etc.
Other than that, you're right. There is absolutely no reason.
I don't get it
Just as they are set to lose the court case over the phrase app store, they are starting new battles with new people. As soon as the court rules, and the indication is that apple is sure to lose, then the point would be moot. So why bother? Don't have a bad enough image already???
No 4G. Big Fail.
Why build a 4G network if you aren't going to sell 4G phones?
Re: Smart!
It's a form of tax loss harvesting. It's simply a way to get out of some taxes. Believe me, if anyone wanted completely, they would have been out a long time ago. One small share holder is keeping 90% of their stock. This is really not news.
Everyone should buy this phone
so they can experience att at its best when it shuts down the faster network and drags all the former tmo customers back to their clunker speeds...
Re: Look at the Numbers
Sprint has lost iden subs in the past, no doubt. But the business at hand now of being required to vacate the spectrum isn't really their fault and could not have been known in advance, so hopefully their CDMA replacement will be good and they will keep most of what they have. Truth be told, the PTT on any other carrier that offers it is so bad that they won't win any iden diehards anyway.
Re: No...
Really? Please provide links for these "facts" you are throwing out there.
This is exactly how it begins
First it's what seems like a few unhappy customers who say their 4g is unreliable, then it becomes more widespread and people from across the country are reporting having problems staying connected, even in strong 4g areas, now the whole damn system is down.
Wimax was more proven at the time it was implemented by Sprint than lte is for verizon. For the highway robbery prices they are charging, and considering they had the network mostly reading for quite ...
Re: You sound very uneducated.
That's what I am saying... This is the defense that apple is trying to use in the "Court of Public Opinion." Jobs himself made this claim. My point is, their excuses might fool some people who see jobs on tv, but in court, it's irrelevant. Whatever Android does is not unrelated to apples case.
The Android defense
I wonder if it'll work in court lol. "But your honor, Android does it too..." Good luck apple. As usual, they make excuses that have no merit and don't make any difference regarding their disrespect for customer privacy. Every time they cry about what other companies do, it makes them seem just like everybody else...
Re: They shut Verizon out lol
Considering they are a fiercely independent company, locally owned, a leader in the small carrier movement and every company out there has had the door slammed in their faces by Cellular South, it's doubtful they would employ a CEO who wants to sell the company. And if they did, he would be out and they still wouldn't be sold. So, yeah, its good they turned vzw down. Afterall, saving vzw money isn't the business they are in. I wish ...
Re: LIGHTSQUARED TECHNOLOGY
That crossed my mind a while back and I had kind of forgotten about it. At the time I found it potentially worrisome for them, but maybe something has been addressed already that I missed?
Re: I agree with everything except for the whole "duopoly" thing...
Don't let the government get involved? Who do people think regulates PUBLIC AIRWAVES? These companies operate in an industry where they don't own the airwaves, the lease them from us, the people of the US, as regulated by the government we vote into power. Why should 2 companies that operate using OUR assets be allowed to control so much of it that they are allowed to rip us off, using our assets?
Don't let the government get involved? I ...
The law is the law....
Sprint want current law to be applied to the situation. Nothing more. There is not a precedent for this kind of consolidation, and the legality of it is a big question. T Mo knows this, and that is why they required such a big payment if the deal does not go thru. To think that it's only Sprint questioning the deal is crazy. They would be better off with T Mo around. They want to compete. But when over ...
They shut Verizon out lol
It's good that they turned down verizons offer to build out their lte spectrum is Cell Souths area. Going with Lightsquared is a much wiser option. Every hole in verizons lte network is either an area they won't offer coverage or one that they will spend a lot of cover themselves. For a smaller carrier, it would be really stupid to sign on with the verizon scam plan.
Re: I Saw This Coming
They cannot, unless the business agrees to be regulated by the FCC. By leasing spectrum that is publicly owned, att and verizon agree to the terms that were stated in advance. Perhaps they should consider owning networks in the third world, or switching industries if they don't like to play by the rules.
Re: Lame FCC
Thats true. In other words, they have no problem with this type of agreement when it benefits them, but they don't wanna play by the rules when it doesn't. Tough luck. The people have spoken.
Re: "If any agreement is reached then just give them 10kbps speed while on roaming."
Verizon already leasess their network to multiple MVNO's so why weren't you complaining before now? Vzw has no problem doing that because it's much more profitable. They don't care if it effects you.
Re: "If any agreement is reached then just give them 10kbps speed while on roaming."
Never mind that vzw is too cheap to bid on enough spectrum to accomodate their bloated network and roam on Sprint when their network is full. IT's an agreement they both depend on. Besides, Sprint had an awesome agreement with Altell that suited both of them really well, before consolidation ended that. So vzw can't complain.
Re: Lame FCC
It's not at all about fairness. It's about law. att and vzw knew the rules when they leased the spectrum from the government. They don't want to play by the rules they argreed to. They will be paid, they don't want the profit they will make from these agreements, they want a duopoly with no competition so they can make even more later.
Re: Alltel still exists??
Verizon "offered" to divest markets. Oh, how nice of them. Too bad that they were going to have to anyway to get approval, so how nice of them to volunteer a good dead like that lol.
An old classmate of mine just "offered" to serve 90 days in a plea deal. You know, as a nice gesture.
Re: "This is just plain BAD BUSINESS"
Of course, att and vzw could always go run any private business they wanted and not one that is dependent on public airwaves. Then, they would have less rules to follow.
Re: What incentive do small carriers have...
The big boys want to roam anywhere THEY want and only on THEIR bully terms. They like to try and patch together a network using regional carriers and other network operators but to their clout against each individual company, not as a group.
Basically, they want the small guys dependent on their roaming fees, but not strong enough to demand reciprocal agreements.
Re: What incentive do small carriers have...
Thank you. That's what I was going to say. Btw, watch how you reply to certain posters, hint hint.
It clearly says they have to pay for the roaming. Nothing is free. Even if they did have to provide roaming free, if those were the rules when they bid on the spectrum and they knew it in advance, they still would have no room to cry about it later.
But no, they don't want the compensation for roaming they will ...
Re: I side with VZW and AT&T
Here's a fact. They were intentionally breaking the established rules on roaming that they agreed to. Fact. A more specific rule had to be passed to stop their cheating and anti competitive ways. They got busted and now they are crying. Fact. The vote went along party lines. Fact. A currently tea party dominated republican party versus the Democrats. Fact. Any other questions. Was I factual enough?
Yes they do
Not saying they are huge or anything, but last I saw they had around 1 million wireless subscribers in the US. But they parent company runs networks in numerous countries, I know in the Caribbean and I think South America.
I know they just started working on 4G for the Navajo Nation.
It's a real company. Not the just the remnants that will be disappearing after a set amount of time is up. They own the Altell name now.
Re: What incentive do small carriers have...
Roaming for free. Where did it say that? You got it all wrong. They are required to allowing roaming. The rules come with the spectrum, and that belongs to the public, they are only renting it. The problem was, they were breaking the rules they agreed to by not allowing data roaming at ANY cost. Now they simply must comply with the rules they agreed to in advance and allow roaming for data at reasonable rates. Get over it.
Re: I side with VZW and AT&T
So you don't think the Federal Agency in charge of communication over public airwaves has the authority to enforce pre existing laws requiring them to allowing roaming? Wow. Been to many Tea Parties, or just not paying attention?
Att and Vzw knew the rules to every auction for spectrum and this has ALWAYS been a requirement, so time to put a stop to their cheating ways.
It's Arkansas
I think it's pretty safe to assume almost everyone will qualify since it's based on income.
Re: What's the point?
They are counting on cashing the 3 billion check from att when the deal doesn't get approved and laughing all the way to the bank. But you're right, att will only screw it up.
Re: Hmmm
I wouldn't say US Cellular is too far behind yet. They don't have a huge footprint and can proabably cover a lot of their customers fairly quicklly.
Huawei is more of a telecom network builder than a phone builder. They have build some of the bigger systems in the world. It's their specialty.
One problem is the that the US wants free trade, free trade, free trade, but want to find excuses to block foreign companies from building things here, while ...
no, its an apple's fool
They wanna sue every company out there for everything under the sun, but they may, or may not, have their own facts straight when it comes to apps.
Re: alltel?
Word is that they do really well in their existing markets. Wish I had them as a choice still. Perhaps they will start inching out from their bases and include some additional metro areas. Hope see. We all need the competition!
Re: this is starting to get stupid!
So if the millions of tmobile customers who are happy with the coverage and don't need more, should pay more because....? They might be getting something more, but it's something more they don't need or want. But now the won't have the choice for themselves because cowardly politicians and greedy companies made it for them. Hope this fails.
