Some of you may already know that Sprint is switching their billing system to UBS ( Unified Billing System ). From my understanding, the system is going to unify both CDMA and iDEN together. Some of you may have been turned down at a Sprint store or possibly Sprint's customer service. Those of you who are in this transition, there is a number where you can get account information. The UBS number is going to be 1-877-541-5705, or you may also call Nextel's customer service. If you go through Sprint's customer care, they may transfer their customers to their extension that can take 45 minutes to get to UBS representative. It's faster to go through Nextel's customer care, or just call the number that is given here.

I'm not sure why ever one is dogin on Sprint I recently ported from verizon and IMO they offer much better service and offer so much more, I love POWER VISION and my voice calls are much more clear then it was with verizon.

Where besides phonescoop can we find info on new phones coming so we can do our homework first..

I have the Katana its ok just received the razr and again its okay looking for info on the Krzr held it and it was nice...

I had the 8300 and it was a good phone but want a thin phone checked the 8400 and it wasn't like the 8300..


Sprint it trying hard but they cut alot of the goodie out of the programs the built in ringtones on the other razr are loud and nice for one doorbell ... i like it and we don't have it and you can hear the phine ring.

I'm sure this will open alot of comments

What are Sprint's ETFs? Do they get prorated or are they just a flat amount?

When/if will it be offered?

TracFone ratchets on 215,000 new customers in quarter
By Joni Morse
Oct 27, 2006
MEXICO CITY—Prepaid wireless provider TracFone Wireless Inc. reported soaring third quarter revenues of $330 million, a 36 percent increase over its year-ago figure of $243 million.
The Miami-based prepaid carrier’s subscriber base grew by 41.1 percent year-over-year, from 5.1 million to 7.2 million as the carrier added 215,000 subscribers during the third quarter. TracFone has landed a total of 1.1 million customers since the beginning of the year.

This phone is pretty but junky. Samsun have a long way to go to make their phone work right. Using this phone makes me feel like using a prototype: a lot of bugs in the phone:

1. If you finish a phone call and fold up the phone without pressing the END button twice, the screen will never turn dark and the battery will drain all the way. To reset the screen, you need to turn the phone off completely and restart.

2. Quite offen, the phone would loss the singal strength and call information on the screen for unknown reasons, to rest? you need to turn the phone off completely and restart.

3. When you get in a no service place like a high rise building, oops the phone would loss it normal screen and display a funky rotating spaceship lik...

Which one is the best overall? (Sprint-wise 😛 )

I've heard rumors that the A660 will be the first to have OTA software updating capabilities. Does anyone know if this is true?

We went to a radio shack and got the a920 and the lady there said it would connect to our computer right away with the data cable we had. and we could put music on there. But i don't trust anyone other than sprint. and sometimes i don't even trust certain sprint stores. any way does anyone know if she lied to us or if we just cant figure it out. thanks any help is appreciated.. and if we need to buy a different cord could you please tell me the approximate cost of one and a bigger card. thanks again

I guess the bright side of Sprint right now is the growth in the Power Vision, DO network which has over 1.5 million customers so far, MVNOs and Boost Mobile while both legacies are struggling and it is quite obvious which network is doing poorly. The good thing what I listened to during the call is that they were very upfront with their problems at hand and have plans in place to fix them. I think Mr. Forsee is a good leader but we have to see if they can execute which is key especially if you have everything going for you such as having the best assets in the industry, but if you cant execute then doesn’t matter about your assets. There is obviously some problems going on and it seems like they aren’t keeping the subscribers as evidence b...

I have been with Sprint for almost 7 years. I have had no complaints in that time, but now I want more with my phone. I have noticed that there a lot of Win OS 5 phones coming to Cingular and T-Mobile. As much as I hate to admit it, I am considering switching to one of those carriers so I can get an inexpensive smartphone.

Does anyone know Sprint is planning on adding any new smartphones to their rather meager line-up? I would really like to stay wiht them as I have never had any coverage problems.

For those of you who don't know by now, the v3m is finally on sprint's website...only about 3 years too late 😛

Nice job to sprint for to making good on there promise to roll out rev a when they said they would. Now we can sit back and watch what will happen. ie: how will they advertise, what phones will be released, what new feats will be available. let me know if anyone out of san diego has that new rev-a card and what there speeds are. I'm just curious

For the techno geeks out there, what are you thought's on WiMax and how well it will be implemented by Sprint once they launch it?

What are some of the benefits and downsides to using such a protocol?

Should I go with the RAZR or the Sanyo 8400?

Myth: 800 MHZ is a stronger signal there for it penitrates deeper.

Fact: 800mhz bandwith is the noisiest bandwidth used by wireless trafic. there is so much signal that if the signal is not broad cast at a high enough amplitude then it is very supseptable to distortion, resulting in loos of quality of signal.

Myth: 800mhz pentrates deeper into buildings then 1900 mhz

Fact: 800mhz looses a lot of its power as it truges threw its cluttered bandwidth. 1900 mhz is above most other frequenses being generated on planet earth there for it does not loose its power as it is transmited. What this means is that the net result is the same. you really don't get better signal one way or the other in terms of penetration.

The truth is that 80...

ok guys, i need any info from first-hand experience with new sony vaios with sprint cards embedded.

need to know about the software it uses.
anyone tried to use the sprint connection manager instead?

screenshots would be awesome.

post info here or email me.

[email protected]

thanks in advance for any help.

I was just checking on the Sprint website and found this:

http://www.sprintenterprise.com/red/?id12=UHP_Promo_ ... »

Is this Red Razr going to be available for normal add on your paln/purchese? Or is it just going to be off the website/mail???

😕 😕 😕

I know Sprint just announced activation of their EV-DO Rev A network in San Diego yesterday, but is there anyone out there using it already?

I writing up a "what's next" story for a business newspaper here in northern CA and I'd like to include a quote from someone with real-world experience with the new network who is unaffiliated with the company.

I'll monitor the forum. But, you can call/email/IM me too. I'm .

Thanks!
Michael
