Sprint CEO Derides T-Mobile's 'Misleading' and 'Fake' Moves

Jul 2, 2015, 8:42 AM by Eric M. Zeman

Sprint CEO Marcelo Claure has had enough of T-Mobile CEO John Legere's brash attitude. Claure had harsh words for Legere after Legere poked fun at Sprint's latest promotion, the All-In calling plan. "I give credit to @sprint for swinging the bat when they do – but #allin is a swing and a miss, guys! #sprintlikehell," said Legere via his personal Twitter account. Claure responded by saying, "I am so tired of your Uncarrier [baloney] when you are worse than the other two carriers together. Your cheap misleading lease imitation is a joke. You trick people to believe that they have a $15 iPhone lease payment when it's not true. You tell them they can upgrade up to 3x but you don't tell them the price goes up to $27 when they do. You say one thing but behave completely different. It's all a fake show. So it's really #Tmobilelikehell." Legere did not respond to Claure's accusations. Legere is known for his direct approach and use of profanity to make fun of T-Mobile's competitors.

Well

He does have a point. I don't like sprint but that's epic he's calling out tmo.

Not really. The $15 is a special deal. Other phones are closer to $27.

I don't like the $15 deal, because that just means after 18 months, the payoff figure is that much higher.
