If this is true, hello new phone. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424053111903327904576526690675657466.html Wall Street Journal posted:Sprint Nextel Corp. will begin selling the iPhone 5 in mid-October, people familiar with the matter said, closing a huge hole in the No. 3 U.S. carrier's lineup and giving Apple Inc. another channel for selling its popular phone.

dexplosivo posted:If this is true, hello new phone. So it will be the iPhone 5 not the iPhone 4S? If the screen is bigger (like rumors have said it is suppose to cover the whole phone) I might use one of my upgrades to pick one up. I still think the Nexus Prime will be a better phone (plus I am person that loves flashing ROMS) so I will still get the Prime, I just will give the iPhone to another member of the family when it comes out.

Q_res posted:I thought Sprint was going to re-purpose the iDEN network frequency for LTE. Anything with 4G and especially LTE is a big fat unknown with Sprint. I've heard rumors that network vision is behind, but those are big fat rumors from one sprint tech. Honestly, its almost apple ish as in no one knows until the CEO steps out and says something. Auron posted:Arg, and my upgrade isn't until May of next year. Oh well, my Evo is still in near-new shape after a year and its a good phone overall. I'll admit I am lucky to upgrade phones quicker through a variety of means, but I do have to say my Evo would have served me fine for another year if needed. I like dualcore / new poo poo, but I do think phones are starting to plateau in power over all. Someone made a point that battery life is the next thing to improve on, which would be nice.

Just talked to someone today who's using a Samsung Exclaim, what the hell? I didn't even know that was an actual phone. Long shot, has anyone had an issue with the Exclaim not receiving texts unless you place a call?

Q_res posted:I thought Sprint was going to re-purpose the iDEN network frequency for LTE. In the short-medium term, the SMR (iDEN) band is going to be repurposed for CDMA service. The Samsung Trender and Evo 3D have SMR-band CDMA support, not sure about any others.

So this administrative fee thing, I asked ecare if I could get my upgrade bumped up as my phone is making GBS threads itself. No go. They will let me cancel though, what the gently caress is that? My upgrade isn't TERRIBLY far away anyway, 7 months or something. Jerks.

ddogflex posted:They will let me cancel though, what the gently caress is that? In short, if you want to continue your phone service with Sprint, you have to agree to their fee changes. But if you can't tolerate the fee change, this gives you a way to leave Sprint. In no way is it a means to keep your service with Sprint and get a free upgrade.

ExcessBLarg! posted:The increased Administrative Fee is a "materially adverse" change to your contract with Sprint. You can either: continue your contract and phone service, which means you implicitly agree to the change; or if you disagree with the change, you can terminate the contract and phone service without penalty. Because companies would rather lose a customer than give them a few month bump in an upgrade? I didn't realize that was ridiculous of me. Sorry. I mean, I'm not going to quit either way, and they are obviously banking on that, but it seems like the few people that ask something like this they would throw a bone to. They bump people's upgrades all the time without any "materially adverse" change to their contract. I guess me not being a dick about it or calling retentions is the problem.

I wasn't looking for sympathy? I also didn't bluff on anything? I didn't say I would cancel or anything to the effect. And asking for a upgrade with 25% of your contract left isn't exactly "absurd".

Some SERO questions: I have an old school $30/month SERO plan. Can I buy a really nice 4G phone (with no sprint discounts, etc) and switch my service to that phone without having to upgrade to the $50/month new SERO plan? Or will it be treated the same as if I had bought it with Sprint renewal discounts? Also, can I add a line to my SERO account? Sorry if these questions have already been addressed. I've skimmed through the thread a bit, but it's one long freaking thread! And thank you.

The only phones you can put on $30 SERO, no matter how you buy them, are dumbphones and maaaaybe the TP2. Non-4G smartphones require the $40 SERO-P, and 4G phones require that plus the  4G fee.

That's lame because I have a smart phone right now. I have the HTC Touch Pro. I got it right before they shut down SERO. It's a nice little phone, but I have phone envy for my boyfriend's Android.

ddogflex posted:Because companies would rather lose a customer than give them a few month bump in an upgrade? You can capitalize on the bail-without-penalty bit to get an upgrade if you port your line to another carrier, add a line under someone else's account, and port your number back. Hell you can even profit with the port credit. But you can't create a new account for yourself within 60 days of leaving.

Haji posted:That's lame because I have a smart phone right now. ... It's a nice little phone, but I have phone envy for my boyfriend's Android. The Samsung Reclaim might work on $30 SERO, since it's a smartphone-but-not. I'm not certain of that. While it does run Android, it's rather low powered. Perhaps strictly better than a Touch Pro, but might leave you with phone envy yet. $40/mo SERO lets you run the Optimus S, Echo, or Arrive (Windows Phone). This also includes "any mobile", so minutes to any cell phone are free, and unlimited texts (an add-on many folks, but not all, had on $30/mo SERO). $50/mo SERO lets you run anything else. Which frankly, is still the best individual-line price plan across all four nationwide US carriers. If $40/mo is just too much, you can use an Optimus V or Triumph on Virgin Mobile's Beyond Talk for $35/mo. It's 300 minutes a month total (no mobile-mobile or N&W minutes), and no roaming. Personally I think $40/mo SERO is a far better value for the extra $5/mo. Also, the recently-rumored Sprint iPhone, assuming it doesn't come with WiMAX, should be compatible with $40/mo SERO based on the current pricing. I'd be surprised if it's actually allowed, but something to consider.

Thank you! I really appreciate the breakdown. How about adding an extra line to my SERO account? I tried when they weren't allowing people to keep their SERO accounts and almost lost mine (grr), but now that they're keeping SERO, is there any way I can add a line to my SERO account?

The Reclaim does require $40 SERO; the confusion came because the $10 smartphone fee (which non-SERO users pay on all smartphones now, regardless of 3G or 4G) was waived for it. Said $10 fee is not the same $10 fee that you get charged to upgrade from SERO to SERO-P. I would be utterly shocked if they let the iPhone onto $40 SERO-P. I think the 4G fee is ultimately called "premium data" and it's charged on whatever phone Sprint wants to charge it on.

Tidbits, but the Reclaim is a lovely slider texting phone, the Replenish is likely the phone you are talking about. Blame sprint for being obnoxious with the drat names. And the Touch Pro is barely a smartphone  LG seems to have two phones coming out, an optimus 2 and some 4" screen higher end phone. Both android of course.
