Sprint Offers 'Unlimited Everything' for $99
I'm leaving AT&T first thing tomorrow!
😁
I've been with AT&T for over 11 years and have enjoyed their service but when Sprint brought this out this is too good to be true! i'll miss AT&T but this is what every consumer wants! All for one liveable price! It beats the rest hands down!

LMAO HATER I HAVE SERVICE EVERY WHERE I GO. AT&T RIPPED MY PARENTS OFF AND THEIR SERVICE IS WACKED THEY'RE INTERNET IS STUCK IN 1999 AND SPRINT SPEED IS ALREADY IN 2020.
...
Yeah, well I have AT&T service everywhere I go - including HSDPA 3.6 - and Sprint ripped me off. Sprint coverage sucks, and their customer care was the worst of all 5 major carriers.
I work for a company that makes games for cell phones, so we deal with all of the carriers on a daily basis.
It may not make you happy, but in the case of Sprint the hate is justified.

Sprint has BETTER coverage than AT&T, WAY better! CDMA covers a much larger portion of the United States than does GSM. Sprint covers over 290 million people. AT&T can't even come close to that.
And btw, HSDPA coverage is practically nowhere by comparison. By the time it is, Sprint will already be rolling out WIMAX.

Um i dont know where to start with that one. Sorry but when it comes to coverage AT&T has Sprint beat hands down. The largest CDMA carrier in the US is Verizon . And against Verizon AT&T holds its own but Verizon is still bigger. The sweet deal about having AT&T is i have an unlocked phone. So when i do run out of AT&T coverage i can pick a network to roam on. Sprint you cannot do that. You have to roam off of a PRL . I drive all over this Nation and when my buddy that has Sprint starts dropping calls , he gets Frustrated .
I like this Though as far as The plans. Hell im thinking of getting Sprint again . If they get enough new subscribers out of this they may be able to build out the network even more. I say Go Sprint ! Make the big c...

.....What???? Having an unlocked phone doesn't allow you to roam. I mean, ugh, I don't even want to start to explain this with your logic. Sprint has free roaming for you off of Verizon towers. BOO YAH.

chainmail...let me correct you on something....yes there is free nationwide roaming, you are correct, but its bad for users who use it all the time. at least 60% of your calls has to be on sprints home networks, but if your majority of your calls are roaming...well then sprints going to give you the boot!!! thats not with sprint...but ALL carriers. cmon now...heavy users who use roam will get it. i have delt with sprint customers getting letters, emails saying there service will be cut because they roam too much. so yeah... 😁

True.
But as you pointed out ALL carriers have policies in place that forbid too much roaming, or you're out. They couldn't make any money if they didn't.

.....i wasn't talking about that at all. And if I was talking about that, I would have mentioned what you did, cause I used to be with AT&T and made more than 50% calls off network. They claimed they would boot me, but never did. I switched to sprint.
I hate talking about roaming. There's a lot of preconcieved notions about it.

i would have to agree you there! VZ has the largest CDMA coverage, sprint roams off of them. at&t has the largest GSM coverage. T-mo well...they barely have coverage.

Verizon actually has the smallest native network of the four! Verizon only covers 260 million people while the others all cover more.
...
If we are talking without roaming, then yeah, AT&T does have better coverage than Sprint. Here is the breakdown of national provider's native coverage:
AT&T/Cingular- 273 million
Sprint-Nextel- 272 million
T-Mobile- 268 million
Verizon- 260 million
These figures are all per their own websites.

Sprint has better voice only coverage with roaming than AT&T does with roaming. We aren't talking about native coverage here, but coverage in general. Sprint could not advertise that they do if they didn't. Native coverage breaks down as follows:
AT&T- 273 million people covered
Sprint-Nextel- 272 million
T-Mobile- 268 million
Verizon- 260 million
These figures are all per their own websites.

oh yeah...not all CS for every carrier is great, but yeah..i have to admit we didnt do good, but we have worked our way up from the bottom, sprint...lets see....lost 600,000 customers, booted 1,000 customers for calling CS too much...oh yeah the latest not too long ago. Sprint rated #1 for WORST customer service. wow!!! at&t was rated 3 stars = average for jd powers, and sprint got what....a low 2 lol.
...
WHOOOO cares!?!?!?!
You people act like u have to call CS everyday the minimum I had to call CS when I was a regular customer was about 4 times per year. People wanna call CS for every little thing. For example
Oh my gosh! My phone came out in annew color I want it. calls CS Oh I'm going to cancel my contract if I can't get this phone in the new color for free and I only had my current phone for 90 days

Yeah, I read that same thing about ALL the carriers on here.
I know somebody who got charged 1200 bucks by AT&T and never went over their minutes, but their bill said they did.
I know somebody else who had a similar experience with Verizon, their bill was over 1000 for roaming charges when they supposedly had free roaming.
Don't know anyone with T-Mobile, so I can't say either way on them, personally.

Yeah, that was my point. But apparently I was too subtle with my sarcasm. 🙄
Like I said, though, I do work with all of the major carriers on a daily basis and Sprint doesn't fare well. They used to be one of the better carriers from our perspective, but lately - especially in the last year or so - they've not so much gone downhill as fallen off a cliff.

I was responding to JohnnyAppleseed's post, not yours.

Hate to break it to you bud but that info is false about non BB service.
We do offer it with unlimited BIS but not BES. Soooooo get your facts straight bud ;P
But have a great day!

don't be stupid. you can use blackberry. just another $20 for enterprise email...
and if anything sprint is better coverage. i don't care about where YOU live, but where I live it's almost the same, with sprint getting better reception. oh yah, and CDMA doesn't screw around with speakers like precious GSM does. I don't miss THAT aspect one bit, being a musician and graphic designer.
I hated the GSM signal dinkin around with my comptuer screen and fuzzin up my stereo speakers.

i used to work for sprint...when i had service with them which was 2005-mid 2007 i had service outside...when im inside i get fluxuated signal...it would go up and down, up and then down....my calls were static and well...dropped. the only good phones were the sanyos, but other than that coverage is whack!!! the old sprint coverage map was well.. covered! but then the new ones rolled out and i saw more grey roaming that actual green sprint coverage. Now i work for at&t and i get coverage and full signal everywhere! i go. i gotta give it up to sprint for there data, but...thats about it. the word goes...YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!
...
Hey genius you might want to do a little research before you start spouting off nonsense.

YEah NO one can offer unlimited everything for $99. This will be good for Sprint when it comes to heavy testers and data users.
For voice onlt its for a very small segment of users that would benefit. IF I could use my Pone on Sprint I would even give it a go. But CDMA phones generally suck and are usually released on for CDMA long after they have been out for GSM.

Yes it WILL be able to use on any BlackBerry on Sprint! This whole BIS yes, BES no, simply means you cant use the BlackBerry Enterprise Server with the plan, (Corporate E-mail) but can add it for $20 more per line of service!
...
I'll give you that much, AvgJoe. GSM phones are usually a step ahead in innovation. But the faster data definately comes from Verizon and Sprint. I really really do wish that Sprint had better phones, though. I would love a bb curve for Sprint.

haha Sprint must be pretty dang desperate to pull this move, oh well they will still fold here in the next few yrs

Desperate is GOOD for the customers. That translates into better pricing and better deals for us.If Sprint was doing well, we wouldn't have this opportunity.
Folding? Nah, more likely is someone else buying them out. Sprint has WAY too many assets and two very large networks that support mobile broadband for them to simply shut down altogether and quit.

VeRiZoN01 said:
either way sprint as a company is going down the drain
Either way, it doesn't really matter.
The only thing that will change for me, if Sprint gets bought out, is I will make out my monthly wireless bill to a different company. I've already done that once when it changed from Nextel to Sprint, and I'll just do it again if it changes in the future.
My home mortgage has been bought out and changed hands more times than I could shake a stick at. The only difference to me is the name I write on the "Pay to the order of" line.

Wait... you still write checks? What, your bank doesn't do ETFs and keep track of all that for you? 😉

To say that Sprint is doing this only because they feel they have to is completely wrong. They already had a test plan in several markets for over 6 months that was an unlimited plan, which included everything like the current plan does. The only thing that plan offered was the choice to add an unlimited broadband card for $40 more. Now they just wanted to make a phone deal that was a little cheaper but the same plan. Verizon and other carriers are falsly advertising a true "unlimited" plan. You get everything with Sprint's plan and only voice calling with Verizon. The way people text, use web, music and navigation now, it only makes sense to include it all in one simple plan. You can never have unexpected overages in any way now. I ...
