.. what many of you guys don't get is that it takes tie to dig out of messes.. Dan has done a good job already turning this massive ship into a new direction. Just as it takes years to dig out our economy, it will take Sprint some time to repair.
So far, the customer service has improved.. the price plans are really unbeatable.. and for those that are wanting to run to ATT or VZ for cheap bottom rock pricing.. well, maybe Sprint is okay with that.. let the big boys take the cheap customers.. I don't think they care. They can lighten up their load, focus on their current customers, make them happy and improve their ratings..
As for the technology.. CDMA, LTE, UMTS, WiMax.. how can people really bitch about that when those technologies are going to carry the higher bills.. the very thing that people here bitch about. The "everything" plans, by far, are better than what ATT and VZ are currently offering.. Sprint's notion is to put a fair price on a plan, not limit you and dime you to death and let you use your phone as it's intended.. can ATT or VZ say that?
Stop paying attention to the customer base that's looking to not spend any money.. they don't pay your bills.. rather, they take up space on the phone banks, customer service rep's time, and run their mouths a foul at every chance.. if I were running sprint, I'd GLADLY send those customers to ATT.
Just as Comcast, the big boy in cable, gets slapped the most in the face when they put their neck out there and simply just for being the big boy.. it's happening to ATT and VZ as well.. I'd rather be a leaner company with happy customers than a giant with a large group of pissed off cheap-skates.
In the end, it's not all about number of subscribers.. it's your profit margins and P&L statement... and again, it takes time to get that turned around, which Dan is doing an excellent job of already.
Oh yea.. and to your "I guess Any Mobile, Any Time isn't doing the trick comment".. IT JUST CAME OUT! talk about impatient! This any mobile plan is exactly what people are asking for... but, these days, people like to take a good look at how they spend their money so they don't always turn on a dime. |

| You're correct, somewhat. Verizon and AT&T charge $50-$70 PER LINE what Sprint charges $30 for on top of a normal voice plan, less on a family plan.
OTOH Sprint netted 300+ thousand customers on prepaid service this quarter. Most of them were probably on Boost Mobile's unlimited $50 per month plan, which is fine. Sprint is making money off of them, and re-utilizing the old iDEN network. The rest are Virgi Mobile folks, who pay a bit more for their 3service and use the regualr Sprint network.
One thing that Sprint has over everyone else is their data network, and to some extent their voice network. I can't remember the last time my phone dropped a call or had audio quality problems on Sprint. I caan't remember the last time my phone data has been sluggish. Try that with AT&T, T-Mobile or even Verizon. |

I have a Sprint phone, and a Verizon phone. My Sprint phone doesn't receive reception in my house, my Verizon phone has 5 bars. Calls drop on Sprint, they are crystal clear on Verizon.
Service is different everywhere, just because it works great for you, doesn't mean that's going to be the case for all of us.

I have a suggestion for you on the coverage issue with sprint. If you have a computer at home and it has either DSL or Highspeed broadband cable internet then you can call sprint and ask for a device called the airave. It is about the size of a router, it connects right into the back of your computer and is like having your own personal tower in your home. I got one and it works great. It covers 5000 SQ feet and the service is great now. Simple, easy and problem solved. Hope this helps, good luck. |
