We're taking actions to manage network roaming


05/16/2008

Sprint is addressing network roaming usage to better manage expenses, promote continued broadband availability, and ensure the best possible experience for the vast majority of customers. Our company's actions are designed to curtail heavy roaming and data use by a small segment -- less than 1 percent -- of customers who drive a disproportionate share of the Sprint's expenses.

New connection plans for mobile broadband cards, USB modems and embedded modems, as well as phone-as-modem plans, will place limitations on off-network data roa...

MAY 13, 2008

Did you feel like someone left a cake out in the rain at Overland Park yesterday after Sprint Nextel Corp. (NYSE: S - message board)'s fairly dismal first-quarter results? Well, buck up, Sparky, because Unstrung's got 10 -- count 'em -- 10 reasons for you to learn to love America's third-ranked cellular operator once again.

1. Clearwire and 4G
Yeah, we went for the obvious one first, but hey, barring any major screw-ups, the Sprint-backed Clearwire LLC (Nasdaq: CLWR - message board) venture will be the first to offer 4G-like services in the U.S. Both companies have said they'll have initial markets up and running in ...

My favorite quote from the article:

Standard & Poor's lowered Sprint's debt rating to junk on May 1, saying the company could come close to violating its lenders' terms. Under its credit agreements, Sprint must keep its debt at 3.5 times earnings, excluding interest, tax, depreciation and amortization, over its most recent four quarters. The ratio was at 2.9 times earnings at the end of last quarter, up from 2.5 at the end of 2007.

Credit rating is JUNK!

You guys keep arguing that the losses aren't more than expected, but that doesn't seem to translate into good news.

How am I receiving text messages that appear to be from my home phone?

I have a crazy lesbo that stalks me and she has really outdone herself this time. She is sending text messages to my cell phone that have a callback number of my home phone (a landline) preceded by two zeroes (e.g., 00areacodenumber). How is she doing this? Is she doing it online somehow?

I know that I can send a numeric page to my cell from my home phone but this is different because when I do that the text message says "HOME" in the "from" field because I have my home phone number saved in my contacts. These "mysterious" text messages just have 00+the actual phone number in the "from" field. Weird and creepy. 👀

In need of phone distributers

I am looking for import or domestic distributers of CDMA cellphones usable on Verizon or Sprint. Any authorized agents have some leads? I am in the process of starting up a local MVNO for WV and KY and I will be running off both systems. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, J

reconnect with direct connect

Did any employees get a nextel phone with this program if so have you tried to attach a sprint device to it. Will they let you put a Sprint phone on this line instead of the Nextel device?

Sprint is not laying off MORE EMPLOYEES

It is unfortunate that so many who write in this forum and other newsgroups cannot read!

I have written Bloomberg, Cnet, Engadget, and Phone Scoop regarding this issue and I will share the same information in this forum.

On January 18th, 2008 Sprint annouced job cuts and store closings that still to this day have not been completed (and likely will not be).

Dan Hesse Speaks to Share Holders

www.buzzaboutwireless.com

"Dan Hesse, chief executive officer at Sprint Nextel Corp. for less than five months, faced tough questions Tuesday about the company's continued trouble keeping wireless subscribers.



Overland Park, Kan.-based Sprint, the nation's third-largest wireless provider, lost about a million customers in 2007 and reported Monday that it lost 1.07 million more in the first quarter of 2008 alone.



"Over the last year, AT&T and Verizon have really been eating our lunch, particularly in terms of high-value customers," investor Carlos Roberts of McLean, Va., told Hesse at the company's annual shareholder meeting...

LONG but it reads fast

Here is a convo I had with a VZW rep last night in total and complete bordom. I was amused, but maybe I was just over tired.

BTW I actually work for Sprint, name says AT&T cause I used to work for them and made the change. I also know that I act like the kind of customer we hate in this convo, no need to point it out.



Please wait for a Verizon Wireless sales representative to assist you with your order. Thank you for your patience!
