| Sprint Lets do the Positives for Sprint:
1) Expansive Coverage
2) Reliable Network
3) Great Roaming Capabilities
4) 3g with UNLIMITED internet and no hidden caps
5) Reasonable pricing scale
Cons
1) One thing that holds sprint back is its HORRID customer service. To their credit, moan and they will give you credits back on your bill. IE, if they mess up they'll toss out 10 and 20 dollars your way like candy. So for their poor and inefficient support, they do compensate you at least. I've had them for around 10 years and their billing sucks. If you dont mind moaning, then they;ll give you credits for the headache of having to call in. Yes, it's a headache too.
2) Merger with Nextel was a bad move.
Either way, Sprint has a lot going for it. If it could hammer out those 2 Cons, I'd rate it the BEST in the U.S. However, that customer service point drags it down a lot. Still, if they offered unlimited, I;m sure people would go to them, but I'd recommend training their support better. | |

NEW YORK (Reuters) - No. 3 U.S. mobile service provider Sprint Nextel Corp (S.N) is expected to offer flat-rate calling plans at up to a 40 percent discount to its rivals, hurtling the industry into a price war, analysts said on Wednesday.
Sprint has yet to respond, but analysts say it could be considering an unlimited calling plan for as low as $60 a month in a bid to stem customer defections.
If something like this happens, I imagine roaming will become complicated again. | |

That was the main benefit of the merger. Good point. Sprint added CDMA to 4000 Nextel sites and plans for a total of 8000 new CDMA on Nextel sites.
Sprint/Nextel combined cover 270m pops natively, but CDMA only isn't there yet. Verizon covers about 255-260m pops natively. I think ATT is around 270m pops native, but they're turning off analog, so not sure on the latest. Roaming for all is over 290m pops if I recall.
But was it worth the merger? Sprint probably should have merged with Alltel. | |

1 edit | A) I've been a customer for around 10 years. So Quit being a snide Pita (PAIN IN THE ASS).
B) I have called their support MORE than I'd like to since they couldnt get our billing right for OVER a year. Hell I spoke to prob 100 + techs and supervisors who promised theyd resolve problem and only made things worse. My bill would come back inflated or with roaming charges (we have roaming included). I forget the number of times we saw a 20 or 30 dollar EXTRA roaming fee when we hardly roam and we pay for it already. Not to mention, my vision plan kept being billed at DOUBLE the rate. So yes I've talked to support. Each and every time we were assured we'd see a proper bill which we even DICTATED to them, and each month we'd get something else screwed up. Last, I forget HOW MANY times services DISAPPEARED from my phone that I pay for. The vision would magically be gone and Itd take weeks to be solved. Ah yes, sprint support DOES suck and so does your attitude.
C) Next time Please stop being a jerk because now you come out looking like a FOOL pretending like you knew my situation. Now don't you feel stupid? I bet. As per t he customer support in the U.S. I am glad they speak english. Too bad their call centers are ALL subcontracted so no one has ONE BIT OF A CLUE what's going on. Had friends that worked for them and we got one of those call centers here. | |

| No, the sprint employee referral plan is the best deal sorry, jg - Sprint has had the best deal out there for awhile and it still does. There have been a lot of posts on this.
1. Go to www.sprint.com/sero.
2. Go to Sprint website and pick an officer name (or go to their news releases and find the representative and pick their name)
3. officer name@sprint.com in the employee email
4. Get $99 for 2500 minutes (unlimited). Their 500 minutes for $30 isn't so bad either.
5. Includes free text according to the website if you order before 5/18
6. Also includes free internet/ Vision access
This is the best deal in telecom. T-Mobile does not include Internet. Available to all - you just need to find the name of an employee. Not that hard. It's amazing how Sprint can destroy more value in Verizon and at&t in two days than it destroyed from itself in two years. That's how fragile and deceptive the wireless industry is. Time for a change...

DO the employees get notified when someone signs up using their code. No , No, and No. At least not at the time I enrolled.
The SERO plans are available to anybody, great deal. I signed up for one over a year ago, I think I used some generic email that was posted on multiple forums. 500 anytime minutes, unlimited text, unlimited picture mail, unlimited internet (fast, Power Vision), unlimited nights and weekends after 7pm, free Sprint to Sprint anytime, free roaming, $30 per month, 2 year contract. Also comes in other minute flavors for more $$.
Of course unlimited obviously has a limit somewhere. I am not a heavy user so I haven't hit any yet. I wanted the free internet. $36.61 out the door, after all the below the line fees. IMO a great deal
Hard core dealbusters proclaim they extracted additional discounts on top of that, and probably should get goodbye letters. You want a good deal, not drive them out of business.
Customer service did suck, but is now steadily improving. I never use CS, except when they screwed up billing repeatedly while they merged their systems. I manage myself via account net access. I am low maintenance, and split the savings with them. I believe that is the core with SERO plans, do not be a high maintenance account. Stay quiet, use the service, don't abuse it, don't bother them. Everyone stays happy.
If I could only get them to cough up my phone rebate from a year ago, plus the first one from 10 years ago. I would be very happy. Shame they are not GSM.

However, I had my family take the rather extreme step of getting all of our cell phones from AT&T just for that purpose. We talk to each other all the time and pay nothing for the minutes used.

For about $65/mo, I get unlimited local, 500 mins LD, 100 mins roaming on Verizons network, and unlimited sms, pix, and data. Fits me perfectly, and costs about the same as a landline. No Brainer.

| I'd sign right up for that. I bet my bill would be almost nothing when I travel from the Midwest, to California, to the East Coast all the time.
What people aren't getting is that:
1) these plans aren't for everyone.
2) these plans are not for those "casual" users.
3) these plans are for those that want to expand their cell phone use and have no limits... possibly wanting to lose the land line all together.
4) these plans are for those that want true freedom.
5) if you took these plans, the "I don't even use that many minutes" point would drop for many. I can tell you that MANY people are cautious about HOW they use their phone based on their current plans now. If you only have 700 minutes, you're going to be careful. You're not going to socialize and visit on the phone as if you would with unlimited.
I have Nextel 300 national incoming. I HARDLY use any of my 300 minutes, but I use a butt load of incoming... why is that? because I KNOW that all my incoming minuted are free. I also paid to have my nights start at 6pm. If I had truly unlimited service, I'd spend more time on my cell phone than I would my land line as it would cut my cord.
Right now - however, I'm caution about my outbound use because I get 40 cents on the extra minutes. I think MANY people use their phone with in their plans which makes sense. I'd also bet that MANY people would increase their use of their cell phone if the bill was unlimited.
These new plans will likely get those people that are paying $79 a month for service already. $20 more a month for unlimited use.. for them, it should be a no brainer.
Each person has different needs, use patterns, AND desires. | |

| Voice is a rip off nowadays Cell companies laugh all the way to the bank with voice service and SMS. SMS, 15 cents for 150 bytes. HAHAHHAHAA Thats $700,000 to move 1 CD (700MB) worth of text messages.
Lets see what 31 days of chatting on your cellphone is.
(9.6/1024/8) * 60 * 60 * 24 * 31 = 3138.75 MB
9.6 Kbit per sec using »en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EVRC worst case scenario. I love how every couple years they introduce a new lower bitrate codec that promises "better quality", and makes it only harder to understand anything from a cellphone. Also the way these codecs are designed, they basically match your voice to only syllables ("codebooks"), and then send your syllables. Try playing Top 40 music through a cellphone one day to prove this. Smart isn't it? and as the bandwidth decreases, one day your phone will just have a copy of »en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragon_Nat···Speaking one day. And a computer read out system at the other end. The data trasmitted over the cellphone network is actually Gzip'ed english text. Better not try using a different language, this is AMERICA!
Anyways, so, having a cellphone call for 31 days streight, and you eat 3.1GB of traffic, heh, thats less than Verizon's EVDO cap of 5GB. Remember your using as much bandwidth as a modem from V.32 modem from 1993.
Thats also a reason why cellphone providers don't want low latency internet on cellphones. They are scared someone will commercialize a VOIP cellphone, that sends data at a jaw dropping 64 kbit/s, compared to existing cellphone networks. It would be end of the world for network engineers or the CEOs that sign off on upgrades. | |

| Untought of Factors The carriers will also save money when it comes to unlimited pricing. I've worked in the call center industry for cell phone carriers, and I know first hand the #1 reason people call in are for billing issues. Also, billing issues can sometimes be the most complicated and time consuming to resolve, and usually take two or more calls to fully resolve. If a large portion of customers start going unlimited, billing issues would dramatically drop thus increasing customer satisfaction.
Charge a flat rate, and the carriers will begin seeing a lot less people calling in. The less people who have to call customer service, the more satisfied customers overall are. Also, carriers can begin getting rid of agents and closing down call centers to save even more money as the call volume drops.

| Re: $1.99 You have just discovered rounding error. When I started working for a Bell Operating Company Marketing Department many years ago, we sold Measured Wide Area Telephone Service (WATS Lines). One of our sales techniques was to point out to potential customers was that WATS Service was rounded to the nearest Six Seconds and that they were paying I believe 20% more than the advertised rate for Long Distance Service rounded to the nearest minute, due to rounding error. Wireless Broadband Service Providers should more clearly state that the usage charge is based on an aggregated rate which is the sum of uploaded and downloaded data. Verizon also mentions that the customer is responsible for the cost incurred for advertising downloaded to their handset browser by any website that they access.

If any of you have spoken to Sprint customer service in the past 6 weeks (Like I have), you should have noticed how customer focused, helpful, friendly, and attentive the new reps are.
I'm just getting tired of the same song and dance... customer service customer service F that. If you're going to knock on Sprint, you better come up with a better excuse, and if sprint is so freaken bad, then go with verizon or att... I'm sure they'll take care of you. | |

Sprints doesn't have any of these. If there's pricing is right sprint could actually collect alot of new users that simply see that they no longer need a POTS line or VOIP line.
On top of that with their up coming Airware to combat a low signal in the house or building coming this year sprints ready to rock. As I said in the other thread. "Say" vague statement about unlimited calling plans, days later others jump on it, while sprint smiles and gets ready to rock the Big three. Or at least we can hope.

| Re: Enough for the customer service crap (same old song n dance) Thanks Old,
Ya its true it "could" go that way but their putting a good amount of $$ in it to make it work. There was a big write up about Femtelcell's in CRN this month. Was a interesting read and if you can get a copy its worth reading about.

| Sprint's CS woes are part of the standard BBR repetoire, just like Comcast's caps, AT&T's evil, and George Bush ruined the universe.
It's not even worth questioning any more on this site, to the point where I'm surprised when it doesn't show up in a thread by the third post. | |

| Minute plans.. While all the hoopla is focused on unlimited plans.. where sprint may lose customers is on their limit plans.. they are not competitive lately and their phones are probably the most expensive in the industry.. last quarter Sprint had a net loss of well over 600,000 customers.. Investors should be nervous about that.. | |
