Sprint has officially announced it! But if only they launch it before verizon does...

http://www2.sprint.com/mr/news_dtl.do?id=14102 »

oh yeah, i think this announcement has come a few months too late...

I am currently a Sprint subscriber and am very happy with the service and the phone (Sanyo Katana), that I have. I am wondering with the merger with nextel and the very poor adds in the recent quarters, what does sprint do in the 4th quarter and next year.

In my view Sprint service works great so I don't understand why people are not getting voice service with them. I understand about data and prepaid that they are doing very well, but how long is that going to keep sprint afloat.

In final, Will the merger doom sprint or in a few years will they be bigger and better?

How to market their product. I am not an expert but they want to make you believe they have the best network then show a phone (not a bad phone as I have one)that is not even power vision capable. Come on sprint.

I'm from Farmington's.

How does Sprint compare to Cingular?

Should I get the KRZR or should I wait for the Q to come out?

Whos got the scoop?

I am looking at the m500, 8400, or what phone would you all think i should get? I have the 7500 and use everything on it besides tv. I love the music store that sprint has.

What is the most expandible music phone on Sprint right now?

By expandible, I mean which one can hold the biggest memory card for music. Thanks! 😛

Okay. Im a cingular rep so perhaps ive been jaded simply because our customers can call in and activate any unlocked phone with any cingular sim and also because we actually sell sim cards by themselves. I can get an unlocked black razr dirt cheap and with a sprint sim it shouldnt be a problem for me to use it. I spoke with a sprint rep for a long time, explaining gsm to her, and then she put me on hold only to come back to say "Are you leaving the country? Why else would you want a gsm phone?" Then after i re-explained cdma vs gsm, explained subsity unlocking, she said it was IMPOSSABLE to buy a sim card without the phone... That just seems completely moronic and i pity the fool that has to pay to replace a $280 phone because his $20 sim...

I don't want to make this about voice or data. This is just a voice issue in my book. What is everyone's take on Fair and Flexible becoming neither fair nor flexible?

Let's look at the past plans. $5 for 100 extra minutes on the higher end plans and $10 for 100 minutes on the lower plans. Next it was $5 for 50 minutes but fun things like nor roaming and 7pm N&W thrown in.

Now we still get fun things like 7pm N&W and no roaming, but there are fewer minutes in the bucket to begin with and the overage is $5 for 30 minutes. In a time when Sprint is adding customers in terms of 200K per quarter vs. 1.9 million at VZW, don't you think it's time to change the plans for the positive instead of taking minutes away?

I suggest making "A...

When will this phone be out and how much will it be if I add another line. Thanks!

Ive had my phone 3 months and now the display on it looks like a tye dye shirt. Its a samsung A840 which i really like. It costs like $70 for one on ebay and since i dont have insurance thats about the cheapest place ive found it. I hear the razr is coming to sprint next month so im considering holding out for that but how much would retail be for me to change to a razr when its released? Is there a better place price-wise to buy phones than ebay?

If I just want to add 7pm night/weekends? Especially if I still have to pay for it. That doesnt make any sense to me, if I am going to renew my contract for it I should be getting it for free. Another gripe that I have is that last october I bought a new phone at full retail price (my contract wasnt up till april 2006) and when I wanted to get a new phone in august at a 'discount' they told me I wasnt eligable because I got a new phone in october....WTF? I bought the phone at retail price and didnt get a discount and I am currently out of contract so why should I be able to get a discount? They were telling me I could get $50 off....how ass backwards is that. I didnt want to change my whole plan b/c I get a discount, but the $5 or whatever ...

Hey, if the street (or general area) I live on doesn't have coverage can I get out of my contract??? 😁

Verizon Wireless Leads Industry
Verizon Wireless again delivered strong revenue growth, profitability, net customer additions and low churn that were significantly ahead of the industry.

Verizon Wireless is now the largest U.S. wireless carrier in terms of revenue. The company is also the largest wireless data provider based on data revenue, and it has the most retail customers -- that is, businesses and consumers directly served by Verizon Wireless and who buy Verizon Wireless-branded service, rather than customers of the company’s resellers.

Verizon Wireless revenues grew 18.2 percent year-over-year to $9.9 billion in the third quarter 2006, driven by strong customer growth and demand for data services. This was the fourth consecuti...

I posted this last week when I noticed in on the launch calender in the playbook but never got any response to speak of. This week there is a whole page about it, so it's for real starting 11/1. How does everyone feel about the elimination of LD from the retail stores? I personally feel it alleviates a lot of pressure on the RCCs who are trying to sell a dying product, but on the other hand you can make good money if you can and do sell it... How does everyone else feel? Are you relieved, or will you miss the LD on your paycheck?

Does anyone have inside information about additional coverage in North Mississippi?

This might come across as a really stupid question, but I've been looking around these forums at the Sprint posting and it seems like all that anyone has to say is that Sprint doesn't understand voice services (and please don't polute this thread with Sprint voice service bashing!!!). What I'm wondering is has anyone heard about VOIP coming down the pipeline anytime soon? With the 3G network all over already and 4G en route soon, is it a forseeable outcome of the data network to have unlimited VOIP calling? Just a thought if anyone wants to speculate... This isn't based off a tip or anything.

im with nextel, whats envolved if i wanna migrate to the sprint side? Is there another credit check envolved etc?
