Welcome back nextel,
I see you have come out of hiding. for someone who is always on the forefront of posting quarterly numbers you really steered away from this one, please enlighten all of us with your insight on what happened with sprextel. you do a great job of posting comments on how other carriers need to improve their service but have not mentioned what your company can do to bring themselves back together. rev a and Q-chat can't fix this one.

The hiding? Lol. No, I was just away and because my life doesn’t revolve around Phonescoop.
With regards to Sprint well there seems to be still a lot of problems in the market with the products and that will hurt the quarterly numbers as evidence in the 2nd quarter report. Wholesale business was down and same with postpaid while prepaid still remains strong. Whenever there is confusion in the market place unfortunately, these things tend to happen. Sprint obviously has great products but it is being hindered with the problems as I just mentioned.
There are a few problems going on now;
1. image
2. brands
3. network integration
4. partners
As soon as the problems go away then they will do very well. Mergers such as this don’t...

🤣 Prepaid held strong their churn was a massive 6%.
why would image be a problem its not like you have changed your name people are still familiar with these two companies.
what integration do you speak of?
you say mergers don't become successful overnight, This is correct but this quarter was just a train wreck . I would be very surprised if sprextel makes any sort of rebound anytime soon. Cingular didn't even start off this bad and turned one company into one. imo I think the ceo's are just getting way over their heads try to manage these two companies and are to make moves too fast if they would slow down and take a look at the whole picture to make improvments. But we shall only time will tell.

Well Sprint’s prepaid is actually the industry leader with all of its metrics so even at that high churn it is still better than industry average and the same with net ads, and ARPU.
The integration with the billing systems, call centers, the cell sites and other things such as the backbone. When you have problems in those areas, you might have some bad quarters.
This quarter wasn’t that great but they actually had net income, not many companies can say that when they have merged.
There is a difference between Cingular and Sprint and mainly is that it has to deal with 2 separate networks and that is a problem especially with confusion.
Companies sometimes have horrible quarters and then they rebound. That is the life of being...

Cingular didn't? Hmmm, if I recall correctly, Cingular had to manage two TDMA networks, two GSM networks, two analog networks, two GPRS/EDGE networks, and a UMTS network. I'm pretty sure that adds up to be a whole lot more than two seperate networks.
Now tell me, logically, who should have had the more difficult time merging? 🙄
The best part of it all, Nextel18, is that you assured us all that Sprint's acquisition of Nextel would be flawless (despite the technology difference). If I cared that much, I would dig the posts up...

Sir, your new spin appears to be that Sextel is a data company. However, we should note that Verizon Wireless is getting the rave reviews from business customers. Also, Verizon had the highest data revenues ever for the company. Nexint didn't do that well in that category, and yet it is a "data company."
Verizon will roll out Rev A over a Quality network with quality customer service. Verizon is also the exclusive seller of quite possibly the most popular phone worldwide...the Chocolate. Once Verizon rolls out it's program to allow customers to upgrade every year, and begins prorating etfs...customer loyalty will be at an even greater high than it is now.
In a nutshell, Sprextel is in big trouble...and it's going to get worse.

You people and your sillt Verizon rants... Sprint currently operates a larger high speed EV-DO network than Verizon, their Vision services are avalible wherever you have Sprint coverage composing a larger data network than Verizon and are currently ahead of schedule with their 4g plans. As far as the Nextel side of things, they still hold a vast strangle hold on the niche market of businesses they target with Walkie-Talkie services and durable handsets and are still that only company that offers GPS services on every handset they currently sell, some of which are true, GPS, not AGPS.
And lastly, the Chocolate by LG is not the most popular phone worldwide. For what its worth, that slot has been filled by the Motorola Razr unfortunately....

The carrier’s inability to lower its customer churn speaks to its continued customer service and perceived network quality troubles, both of which Verizon Wireless, Cingular and T-Mobile USA have been able to master at Sprint Nextel’s expense. As a side note, props to Cingular for having turned around what had been a listing ship so quickly and becoming a strong competitor for Verizon Wireless.
Sprint Nextel’s moves are nothing new, having been mastered by magicians since the beginning of time. Make a commotion over here to distract the viewer from what is happening over there. Brilliant!
Unfortunately, if Sprint Nextel is unable to keep investors distracted from its operational ills, the carrier’s management might not be around long e...

My new spin? It has been my spin since the company merged and signed that exclusive deal with the big cable companies.
Compare Sprint’s data arpu to Verizon’s data arpu and you will find that Sprint destroys them. Also, compare Sprint’s Power Vision users to Verizon’s EV-DO users and you will find that Sprint has more customers on its Power Vision than Verizon’s EV-DO network and Verizon launched theirs a while ago. More importantly, Verizon is too ashamed to provide the numbers of those customers while Sprint reported their Power Vision numbers in presentations.
Sprint will also roll out REV A with Qchat, in the 2008 time frame, but more importantly they have that deal with the cable companies, signed many deals with content players...
