Sprint Drops Phone-As-Modem Charge to $15
Really?
Sprint charges for this? Wow no wonder they are the worst company out there. Tmobile doesn't charge to use your phone as a modem. All you need it the $20.00 data package or if you know what your doing the $5.99 t-zones package. Just another reason sprint sucks.
...
T-Mobiles is free becasue is it dial up speed on their edge data network smart guy. With Sprint you don't have to wait 5 min for ESPN.com to load. Talk to me when you have 3G in more than just Vegas. Sprint, VZW, and At&t charge people because it is actually worth paying for. T-mo has to give it way since that is all it is worth $0.00. It's 08 not 98 do you get the cool dial up modem sound with your "Free" PAM? Just another reason why T-Mo is #4. Also I use PAM for free on my Instinct thanks to ##debugmenu# 🙄
...
Yeah Tmobile has 3g in only vegas 🙄 After october we will have 3g in most major markets. And last time I check sprint was number 4 not Tmobile. But good try there buddy. 😉

Have you ever heard of Google? Try it next time before you make yourself look stupid....again!!
Sprint 52.8 million customers
T-Mobile 30.8 million customer
Only 22 million from #3. They are getting close....probably be only 20 million away by the end of the year after Sprint losses another 2 million iDen customers.

so that means Sprint presently is closer to #1 than tmo is to #3. 😁
Still not #4 as he states and lets see who lost a couple million subscribers first quarter and is sinking into ruins?

It actually means T-Mobile is closer to number 1, if they were to buy Sprint...
And with over 15 million iDen users (down from an all time high over 20million), Sprint would be JUST a little over T-Mobile (and still losing customers), if they sold off the iDen platform.
iDen by the way, would be sold, and better suited to be used (spectrum and likely some of the backend server shiz, then CDMA) for GSM type things... what am I talking about... I dont know .

Rwalford79..You bring up some very interesting points that are shared by many. Here are mine: I feel Sprint should not be underestimated. while they may be having problems, a lot of other carriers have as well at one point. I have been a cell user for almost 25 years and I have seen many things from the transition of "bag phones to the legendary "brickphones" and from there to motorola flip phones which were huge in their own right. When I signed on back then, I bought a bag phone made by Antel and then moved to a Motorola. The average call was roughly $1.50 a minute!(there were no bundled minute plans). You dared not use it a lot. Aren't we glad we don't see that anymore? Minute plans came shortly after that. Then the transition from analog...

We're talking network here and once again T-Mobile people hide behind their JD power and Associates customer service rating and their WalMart like pricing.
Let's talk network specs here.
T-Mo: UMTS (not HSDPA or HSPA)up to 500kbps in 2 markets
Sprint: EVDO Rev A (Rev0 is faster than simple UMTS)up to 3200kbps in almost all but the most rural markets
T-Mo: 13.5% dropped calls according to Mind Wireless Study
Sprint: 5.4% dropped calls according to the same study
If your product performs so poorly against the competition then you had better have extremely low prices and great customer service or you won't have any customers.
Not that customers buy network but they do get kind of tired of dropping one out of every eight calls and...

Whoa dude! I am a huge sprint guy but in order to defend our passion for our carrier, facts have to be consistant and true.
First: our revA is currently the fastest offered but not at those speeds you claim.
Second: verizon has the least amont of dropped calls at 6.2% which means sprint can't have that 5.4 that you boast about. we are 2nd with 7.1. alltel is third ATT is forth and Tmobile is fifth. it is not surprising that all three of the carriers in the top are CDMA. There is a technical reason for this. Some of it has nothing to do with the carriers themselves. remind me to explain it sometime.

GPRS data speeds or if you are lucky EDGE or UMTS. Another reason T-mobile sucks.
People without networks should really not throw stones at those who have them.
I would give away my service if it was dial up speed as well. Nobody who could see beyond the WalMart price would ever seriously choose T-mobile for a data connection.
Sprint on the other hand supports speeds of up to 3.2MBPS.
Seriously with your industry leading dropped calls, your slower than slow data speeds and your poor coverage I don't see why anyone would choose a 2G carrier in a 3G world (soon to be 4G)
