They should make em suffer with wimax.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app

They're shifting everyone to LTE - I think - to try and start taking down WiMax in some of these markets. I'll be interested to see if any new devices will be able to use the Clear band anytime soon.
All in all will be an interesting year for Sprint. If the deals go their way they may be in nice shape for the rest of the CY.

Only devices using wimax now are the multi band hotspots and clears routers/hotspots. No new wimax phones are being produced, but older stock maybe rebranded a la the epic touch on boost and vm
I like to break stuff!

I used to work for boost.. To this day customer service sucks... Virgin is the worst though

Even my service provider cricket wireless is becoming 4G. And it started with the wackest phones 4 years ago while sprint. Was claiming they had it . And had better smartphones. Now cricket has the s3. And is going 4G LTE this year. Not even sprint is that Fast

Then again, I had Cricket not too long ago (switched from Cricket to Sprint when I got the Note 2 on opening day) with my EVO 3D and they make you pay for each GB of data per month.
I had 2GB and was paying 60 a month. It sucked when the data speeds slowed.
Think it was an extra ten for another GB.
In actuality, their data is not unlimited.
I called and complained to them stating I thought everything was unlimited and they said, "well, not that."
Lol.

I guess it depends on the plan you have too. I have a family plan with 6 lines on a 1500min everything data account. So I pay $230mo after taxes for 2iphones,my GN2 and 3 dumb phones to get unlimited data, text and the shared minutes. I can't beat that on pre pay yet.

Is LTE authenticated through meid number?
If we use an Lte boost phone as a donor, will the note also have Lte enabled?

Yes I am authorized for 10 plus lines on my "account". But the limit per "plan" is supposed to be only 5 lines. So you can have 2 plans with 5 lines each, but not 10 on one plan. Unless you open a business plan.

It appears it will be free if you already have the unlimited (5GBP)(like me). It says upgrade to unlimited from 2gb for $10. Thats $30

Probably in preparation for the I phone 5 launch.
I have a question though. Let's say we got the truely unlimited plan can we still use the tethering option in cm10 without getting caught?
Hopefully they just add $5 more to the 30/monthly 4G plan.

I just hope tmobile's network will be able to take the hit from all of us data hogs + the new ones who will be making the switch. That's the only thing that worries me because it would suck to be on an unlimited data plan that only crawls along web pages and streaming.

I was a little bummed that I left sprint after 9 years and was missing my sprint unlimited everything and have been keeping a good eye on my usage now with TMO so I dont go over. Now I'm really glad I switched over. Currently on the value $64.99 (500 min, unltd texts, and 5gb data) plan and from the looks of it I'll be paying $5 more to get the unlimited everything. Cant wait for the 5th! The plus side of Tmo is I get 4g speeds in 99% places I go and didnt have to wait for LTE to roll out for sprint.

Customer retention can offer you unlimited 5GB data for $20 (this does not have the tethering option) and it can be added now, no need to wait till the 5th. They only have the 5GB plan, i already asked about the 2GB for $10 and they said they don't have that offer. I didn't take this option even though it is $10 cheaper (I currently have the grandfathered unlimited data & text for $35) cause I always find myself tethering my laptop or tablet during travel when the hotel wireless is spotty.
I just got the 5 gig from retention but the rep states that I still will only have a five gig cap is this true? or does he know what he's talking about? I'm thinking he doesn't know what the hell he's talking about. But got that plan from retention for 20 bucks a month

If you received the preferred android data plan then yes it will have the soft cap of 5 GB a month then slows down to 2G speeds.

At first probably nothing. Eventually who knows. Plan rate drops? Doubtful but always possible. Honestly the value plan with unlimited data is the sickest postpaid plan out there. In my opinion it destroys any thing Verizon att and sprint can offer. I just dropped Verizon for Tmobile and I couldn't be happier.

Yeah, I left Sprint (w/15% discount) for TMO and saved $40 per month (w/15% discount). Verizon would have been $45 (w/25% off data) more and ATT (no discounts) would have been $80 more per month.

Having different brands can be easier than trying to explain the differences between your products. For instance, Sprint's offerings have features like roaming, nights and weekends, mobile to mobile, LTE, etc, while Virgin Mobile doesn't. It's probably less confusing for the average consumer to view two brands than to have Sprint explain, "This is a 300 minute plan, but it's not the same as these other plans because it's missing these features." Instead, Sprint gets to market VM as a full service provider to people who don't know what they're missing.

Go to Walmart. ...hit the electronic dept. ask the clerk for a FAMILY MOBILE START UP KIT.

Hmm, TMobile will let customers upgrade 2x a year on new plan

T-Mobile to let US customers swap phones twice a year
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/07/10/tmobile_jump_phone_swap_plan/
They're really trying hard to attract customers. This is a serious hook, that's for sure.
True...but do the math. It will definitely draw people to T-Mobile, but they are just throwing away money. You are better off buying the device upfront than selling it yourself after 6 months instead of the 'JUMP' deal. If you upgrade after a year, you have just spent 150 for a phone, 240 for the monthly installments, and 120 for jump...that's 510 to lease a phone for the year. You probably could have purchased that same phone for 600 originally. I'm guessing you could have sold it for more than 90 dollars at the end of the first year.
Plus that includes insurance, so may be worth it for people that are willing to pony up for that anyway. T-Mobile is starting to look awfully tempting especially after the new sprint plan details that leaked recently.

Wow had no idea that was happening. Does that plan allow you to have more than 5 phones on your account

That sprint plans seems like what I'm paying now for everything unlimited for one line. I don't see a difference unless you have more than one line.

I have a family Plan and would actually be paying more with the new plan.

Same here
Back when I actually had a 2 line family plan, I payed $142 after taxes (unlimited talk not included, 1400 minutes)
New plan, would be paying $150 if I still had the family plan.

Seems to me then it might only be worth it to stay if you have just one line and if the service is better than t mobile. I winery if this will let people out of their eTF?

I have 4 lines with the everything plan. this new plan increase my bill about $25 (4 lines 140 + 110 for the new All-in) but it comes with hotspot on every phone.
I suppose that is fairly reasonable to have the hotspot on the phones; as I don't root my wife's and kids phones anymore. talk about a headache. hehehe
On T-Mobile, I am interested to see what amount of $$ they'll give you when you want to trade in for a newer model. Sprint's current trade in is horribly in inadequate.

Tmobile seems like a good alternative to sprint. My old carrier doing what I wanted before I left them unlimited data. I might go back they have lte in my town and hspa to fall back on.
