Don't care what they name it...

Im only interested if there willing to make an offer to purchase Tmobile move away from being a regional carrier and go GSM and/or combine with some other company ( google, vodafone etc.) to bid for TMobile to keep it out of ATT hands. Soon enough they will drop the C, "Spire Wireless" sounds better.

I have it as well. I read (Somewhere on the net) that the rates are fixing to go up for the unlimited plans. I am satisfied with their voice, not so much with their data. It is slow. Also, their selection of phones really sucks.

We agree that the name is the worst. My God, what were they thinking? Think about all that money they are going to spend re-doing their stores. Pretty lame.

I just switched to Cell Soutb...horrible new name.

I think they just beat the SyFy channel for dumb name changes.

My guess

My guess is they changed the name because they're about to start offering service nationwide via an MVNO, probably on Sprint's network. If they do that, "South" wouldn't make much sense anymore.

But C Spire? Dear God, what were they thinking? I'm betting this was concocted by a senior exec, and no one else at the company has the balls to tell him it sucks.

I would agree. The SyFy change is the dumbest thing I had seen in awhile.
