I guess it is time, but the PP is right, they served their purpose. I rather liked them. It's refreshing to see an ad that isn't completely stupid for a change. |

I think for Sprint it worked. It seemed to take them out of the penny stock category. If they were smart they'd build on it by a policy such as getting rid of ETFs and lowering plan pricing during this economic downturn. |

Indiana, PA | wouldn't that help the economy? all the broken tv's and devices thrown at them would need to be repurchased, which would pump money back into sales *lol* |

| I agree.
These ads weren't 'bad', however, they didn't move me to want to purchase any service. They appeared almost depressing. Not that I'm in an sort of Ad agency or anything, but being that its spring time, black and white corporate Ad aren't appealing to me right now. |

if they lowered pricing and got rid of the ETFs all together it would work for them. They need to do a flat rate service plan that is about the same as Boost and all the rest. That would build their customer base up. That would also save the money that it costs on the paper, ink, postage, and everything that mounts up to printing all those bills.
But yes with GM or any of the 3 big. |

Do you have HD? The ad looked amazing in HD, not so great in SD. |
