Largest Mobile to Mobile calling network
This is yet another step on the path towards unlimited calls at a cheaper rate. Thanks Sprint! Okay, who's next?
...
Unlimited calling to anyone is great, but if I can't get a signal to call anyone in my area doesn't do me much good.
It would be nice if other carriers could follow in Sprint's pricing footsteps.

Sprint is the cheapest of the big three in terms of rate plans and they are still hemorrhaging 1 million plus post pay customers every quarter.
Until they start ADDING customers to their base instead of shrinking it, there is no reason for other carriers to care about what they do, since obviously giving away the farm isn't enough to keep their customers.
ATT and Verizon don't feel a pressure from sprints pricing because it's not working.

Even more, if Verizon and AT&T moved to the same pricing, Sprint would be decimated. There wouldn't be much reason left to stay on Sprint, except maybe if you want a Palm phone.

Really?
Verizon is rated Higher for customer service, wins multiple awards every year for their coverage and reliability.
Sprints whole advertising push is the cost of service, and how much you save. You don't really see anything about their coverage or reliability, so if suddenly Verizon dropped to the same prices, what would Sprint be able to differentiate their service on?
Marketing on being the "cheapest" is great, until someone comes along and offers something for the same price, or worse, offers something that consumers perceive as "better" for the same price.

There is a lot bigger differences between Sprint and Verizon than just price.
...
I'm talking about for the typical consumer.
There are differences, but apparently not that many.
Think about it:
Sprint is currently the cheapest national carrier, giving away the farm in terms of equipment discounts to try and get new customers, with plan features no other carrier can match. And yet they are LOSING close to a million post pay customers a quarter.
While Verizon and ATT, who everyone likes calling "expensive and overpriced" are actually gaining in customers.
There are differences, but for all the advantages that Sprint says they have, it's not proving to be enough for the traditional consumer. Yes, there are people who come into my store that refuse to switch from Sprint to verizon, but 9 times out of 10 it i...

Locally, customers are fed up with Sprint's lack of speed and coverage added to their poor customer service. Of the new lines I work with each month, ports from Sprint make up about 70% of all my ports, with AT&T and T-Mobile bringing in about 25% collectively, with the other 5% coming from Virgin or Cricket.
Each area is different. Here, Sprint has become the laughing stock of the carriers. I even run into people who'd rather be on Cricket than Sprint, and that's saying a lot, in my opinion.
So, like Menno said, with cost equal, why would one stick with Sprint?
