I generally understood the concept of an MVNO as a distributor that basically bought block's of allowances wholesale from the carrier, and resold them in the manner they saw fit.

Sprint is really unique in this aspect, and it makes you wonder due to their declining market share.

I hope sprint can hold on long enough to do something impressive with the 4g roll-out, and with their foray into WIMAX. I personally would not choose sprint as a customer or investor and have felt this way for the past 6 years, but for competition sake hope they stick around. We do not need more excuses for AT&T and VZW to bully the market on price.

We certainly need Sprint to survive. Let's hope they figure it out.

I hope someone figures it out. The stores have been filled with nothing but complaints the last few months. Everytime we get an awesome phone, theres this huge known issue with it (rumor, instinct, katana 2, centro, etc...). Hopefully this gets virgin mobile to attract customers to the store on a positive note. 9 out of 10 times, when a customer comes in to the store to buy minutes or purchase a virgin mobile phone, we talk them into getting sprint anyways. Its a great marketing technique on sprints behalf cause its advertising a different kind of plan that most major carriers dont offer, and it gets the customer into the stores.

I 100% agree(d) with you.

I had a terrible experience, primarily with Sprint's network, about 5 years ago. Sprint was the first cell phone company I had and I swore I'd never use them again. So it was AT&T for work and Verizon Wireless for myself.

I moved to Southern California and gave Sprint another try because Verizon is non-existent here. I have been pleasantly surprised with Sprint's phones, coverage, and as long as you call Customer service during normal U.S. business hours, you get nice, credit-happy southern-accented people in Georgia?I think?.
At night you get India so be careful but fortunately the service is so good and cheap ($99 everything) I don't need to call much. I would definitely recommend giving Sprint another ch...
