Hey guys. Once Sprint figures out what it is going to do with their unlimited plans, my mom will be moving over from Nextel to Sprint.

What is the best phone out there with Sprint currently? She talks a lot, needs speaker, 1 megapixel or greater camera, and it needs to be somewhat thin.

I was looking at the Samsung M520, Katana DLX, and the Samsung M510.

Am I missing any good ones?

I appreciate your help.

ok im really bored at work, and does any one have a link where i can get a free emulator and rom for my htc tough? thanks in advance 😁

Researchers claim GSM calls can be hacked on the cheap

Posted Feb 21st 2008 10:10PM by Joshua Topolsky

Callers, your worst nightmare is coming true... maybe. According to a report, a group of hackers at the Black Hat conference in Washington D.C. claim that they're able to hack GSM calls with equipment costing about $1,000. If you believe the team (and we're inclined to at least have a listen), they can decrypt GSM phone conversations and text messages on a network using inexpensive tools called field programmable gate arrays. Until now, the cost of the technology required to hack GSM transmissions has been prohibitively expensive for all but your government and large-scale snooping operations, but that's beginn...

I had a post on here ealier talking about coverage issues im having with sprint.....

On a whim, I went to best but and bought a PREPAID AT&T and T-mobile phone, they were both on clearence, so togeather I paid about 22.00...not bad...

Me side by side results.

Sprint -- 2 Bars - Call out - Choppy Convo.

T-mobile -- 1 Bars - Could not call out.

AT&T -- ALL bars. give or take 1. Good call...Great Service....

Im not nessisarily going to switch....but I just wanted to compare

Does anyone have a copy of the 3rd party employee plan they can send me or post a link to it please? I've been after my boss and our rep for two months now and neither can find it...

Does anyone have any info on this phone. I'm guessing this phone is similar to VZW's Voyager. If I get info on this phone or leaks, I will post it.

I wanted to get a data plan for my upcoming move, but I already have the voice plan (YEY SANYO M1) and am under contract for another year or so. Can I still get a data plan, or am I SOL?

"Monday, February 18, the FCC will allow wireless network operators to shut down their old analog networks. These networks, built in the 1980s and called Advanced Mobile Phone Systems (AMPS) were some of the first used in the U.S. Network operators can also turn off their first-generation TDMA digital networks. Verizon Wireless and AT&T plan to shut their analog networks down on the 18th. The number of AMPS and TDMA users is low, so most wireless costumers will be unaffected. Other, regional network operators will likely turn their analog networks off as well."

Regarding this, I was wondering if anyone had feedback on this from the customers whose service may have been axed. I know this didn't affect Sprint Customers but maybe some of th...

I'm a sprint customer, vzw indirect employee. I know that where I live, VZ gets great coverage, Sprint not so much. PLEASE don't argue that. that'll come later.

A few nights back, when it was quite windy out, I couldn't make a call to my wife. after 6 tries, I called her from the house phone, quite upset about our phones, and then called *2 on my sprint phone. that didn't work, since I was in digital roam. I looked up an 800 number, called that, and got someone who could understand english only if it fit into the script she was reading. She also referred to me as ma'am. I don't have a high voice, and I'm male. I told her what my problem was, and then she asked me what trouble I was having. I asked to speak with her sup numerous ...

When Can I possibly get the sprint AIRWAVE in Chicago, IL?

Hi all,

I need to know if it's possible to recover my voice mail before I call CS.

Yesterday I returned a phone to sprint store and the rep closed my account by mistake. When I try to make call on my old phone I couldn't. I went back to the store, she called TS and recover the account but all voice mails, emails on the account were wiped out. My number was unreachable for at least 90 minutes. I had voice mails I did not get before the disaster.

I just need to know from someone who works at Sprint if they can recover my voice mails and settings.

Thanks
MM

I have had Sprint for over two years and have been living in an area that Sprint doesn't service for over 1 year. I emailed Customer Care to find out when my contracts end so I could go with someone who does provide service here. I got an email back stating the following:

"contract end dates of 01/30/2010. These contracts were extended due to the promotional discount of 10% off every month that was accepted on 01/31/2008."

They were supposed to end in May of 2008.

HOWEVER, I NEVER called, wrote, spoke, or anything with someone from Sprint to extend my contract. Futhermore, my bill is $150/month so why would I sign up for 2 more years to get $15 off each month living in an area that they don't provide service to.

This is the s...

I have a friend who shares a Sprint plan with her mother. She and her mom both have much older phones and the service will go in and out on them. That is, there will be a beeping noise on my friend's phone and a message on the screen that says Out of Range, something along those lines. Is the Sprint service bad or is this her phone? It sounds to me like it's her phone. I have some other friends that have the Palm Centro and it seems that their service is just fine. My friend also lives in a somewhat mountain/hill area, but it's still in the city.

Is sprint going to be getting any phones similar to verizons voyager. I really want a phone with a slide out keyboard. I do not like the LG one they have now. Any idea? Dont care too much about the touch screen.

...Nextel's reputation, maybe.

But as far as network, services and pricing, not so!

As much as I love Nextel, when I first got service with them, it was VERIZON expensive! For the same money I'm paying now for 7 pm nights, unlimited nationwide DC and free LD & roaming, I only got 3200 N&W minutes, starting at (ugh!) 9 pm, and 250 LOCAL DC minutes. In order to upgrade to unlimited nationwide DC, it was $20 extra per line!

My data services and text messaging were soooo slow, too. ☹️

And roaming? Forget about it! I would've even settled for analog backup in those days. Now, Sprint will be launching QChat phones that are full roaming capable. 🙂

My powersource phone works in places my i90 won't touch. My coverage, data, pricing ha...

has anyone ever used a sprint mobile broadband card while roaming or will it even work while roaming?

i posted this in the shop talk forum but i'm getting the typical customer care responses one person saying something completely different from the other. I work in sales support so i know the "well it should but im not sure answer" thats not good enough, i want a definate answer from someone who has either used the service while roaming and succeeded, or tried to use it while roaming and it failed. thanks alot 🙂 (ps. i know there are circumstances that could make the phone not work but i just want to know in general if it should work.)

i'll use it primarily in sprint coverage but would like to use it when i visit family where they on...
