Re: Revenue per Unit? Sprint? said by Matt:I'm shocked that Sprint has the highest voice ARPU and is within $.40 of Verizon's data ARPU. If you exclude the two regional carriers (#9 and #10).So much for their perception as the "discount" carrier. I thought that was weird also.. especially since Verizon nickle and dimes people for everything. |

I thought that was weird also.. especially since Verizon nickle and dimes people for everything. I wonder if perhaps ARPU literally means "handset" ... Verizon probably has more family plan users, which would artificially lower their ARPU.
I know my individual Verizon service was more expensive than my individual Sprint service was, for virtually identical plans. However, I have 4 phones on my Verizon plan now and I only pay $9.99/month each for the 3 additional phones. |

| With Alltel you'd only pay for the 3rd phone. The first 2 phones are free. |

Windsor, PA | would have you been a new subscriber at T-Mobile? I can't believe you couldn't get a free phone if you were a new subscriber or was it you wanted a more expensive phone and not one of the ones they offered you for free...that's my guess. |

| no I wanted their free phone promo. It was my first cell phone my credit is not that bad. I only had to pay a $125 deposit for verizon. T-mobile would not even let me put down a deposit. the just flat out denied me |
