agreed. they can try to entice new victims to join them all they want but i dont see them lifting a finger to keep them. once they get a whiff of their horrible data speeds they are going to want out. hopefully it happens soon enough for them to get out of the contract.
they can cry "network vision" all they want. fact of the matter is that they should of been had a solid 3g network in preparation for the icrap, but they fell way short of that

I love Sprint, but $25 a joke, can't do better than that? I get $50 just for referring someone to CREDO, and they lease Sprint's network. Weird attempt to draw in customers.

In my area (Washington DC) sprints network is almost non existent. It's so bad it is literally unusable. wimax is ok but constantly drops out if you are moving. This just has to do with the origins of wimax I think.
I've tried T-Mobile and Verizon. T-Mobile ironically had both the most consistent coverage and fastest speeds, even faster in real world use than Verizon.

AT&T drops T-mobile bid - confirmed

I guess it's good news for us all.
Bring on DISH or Google!
Here's a link if anyone wants to see the official statement
WSJ reports this as fact YAY!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL ATT are insane. Look at this hype they have made:
“The actions by the Federal Communications Commission and the Department of Justice to block this transaction do not change the realities of the U.S. wireless industry. It is one of the most fiercely competitive industries in the world, with a mounting need for more spectrum that has not diminished and must be addressed immediately. The AT&T and T-Mobile USA combination would have offered an interim solution to this spectrum shortage. In the absence of such steps, customers will be harmed and needed investment will be stifled.”
Sure.
I'm thankful I get to keep my job! Now tmobile has to think of a crazy master plan. Google exclusive partnership please!

Google is almost not possible. They don't know about the wireless industry and they wouldn't become T-Mobile exclusive when the OS is on all carriers.
There is enough hate in the world. Why can't we all get along here ...?
Hallelujah. Sometimes prayers are answered.
Hmm... a roaming agreement... sweeeeeeeeeeeet, I can mooch of your 42mbps HSPA+ while mooching off AT&T's LTE.
Also, Google will NEVER make their OS exclusive to any carrier, and if they did, it would be Verizon... because Verizon is the biggest android carrier.
Anyways, happy for you guys, you get a few more months till someone else bids for T-Mobile.
Where can we find details on the roaming agreement? will we have 4g roaming?

My cousin has a droid 3

But he's tired of paying so much money and wants to come to sprint but I told him to wait because there's no good phones out with a keyboard and its not worth putting a new 2 year contract for a phone from 2010.
Then I remembered he's on verizon lol think it'd be possible to flash it to sprint? Will that be illegal? I mean, he's willing to pay the etf to get out of verizon, its his to do whatever with from that point on right?

whats the point for speed? To see who's faster? Who cares?
As long as you can get your data or info whatever you need like if you need directions or need to hop on the internet and get something whether it be 20 seconds or 45 seconds it doesn't matter.
And if your in a hurry you should have planned ahead, and don't "say well with LTE or faster 3g speeds i don't need to" well that just makes you lazy as hell.
I rather pay 200$ for 3 lines being UNLIMITED versus 250+ on VZW.
And yes were unlimited because the fact its slower but again who cares.
just saying..........

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.

Did it for a month or two without Sprint batting an eye. It would take months for Sprint to notice, all the while your phone depreciates further. Either bite the bullet and pay the fine, or reneg and hope you can have the collection erased from your credit report. How anyone can have that erased by saying 'not my debt' is a complete mystery and should not be heeded as sound advice.

Three options:
1) Pay the ETF
2) Just live with it and leave at the end of the contract
3) After choosing #1 or #2, never sign a contract again

So there was no guarantee of service speed or anything of the sort in your contract. When you signed a contract, there is no clause that if they don't provide a certain service to you that you're entitled to leave the contract. You either have to pay to leave, or continue to pay out your remaining months of service, those are your only legal options.
Just roam on Verizon a lot. Flash a modded prl. You'll get fast speeds for a few months then Sprint will terminate you.

I know what you mean by the data speeds. Currently I'm blazing at a whopping 22kbps! I keep calling about this and then sometimes after, the speeds jumped to 2Mbps then back down to nearly unusable speeds. You can't connect to the Play Store at speeds this low. It just errors out saying that the connection timed out.

You're fooling yourself if you think it won't end up on your credit report. All you did was dispute it. The CRA will verify the debt is yours with Sprint and it will be on your report until you prove that it is not your debt or you settle with Sprint (or several years from the date you left Sprint when it falls off automatically). And no, saying 'not my debt' does not prove that it is not yours.

Congratulations on them not verifying the debt. I wouldn't count on them always siding with someone just saying "it's not mine" when common sense says Sprint has every right to try to recoup the money per the contract all users agree to. I didn't remember Sprints ETF being $350 three years ago. I'm pretty sure it was on $200 back then when I was with them.
Didn't you have an Evo3D when I did (like less than a year ago)?
Flash a roaming prl and download as much data as possible.
I believe that they let you out if you move to an area that they don't cover. Use their coverage map to find some areas they don't cover. Call them and tell them your job is transferring you to Billings Montana or something and you want to check coverage at a couple addresses you are looking at (check realtor.com to get a few addresses). Make sure you already know there is no coverage based off of coverage map. When they tell you no coverage ask them how they handle it if there is no coverage. Chances are you get out right there. Especially if you've already been roaming a lot.

I honestly think Sprint will be involved. They're building out their network but there's no way they can get a nation covered by 2013. They will likely partner with Sprint with their lte network for its coverage until they get a hold of things. Reason being, they want to compete against Verizon and At&t, and T-Mobile has the speeds they need, but not exactly the coverage. When sprint finishes their network vision, it'll be on par with Verizon in terms of speeds and coverage.

Agree with you on that one. I actually think it might be better as Sprint is upgrading every tower in their network with a few exceptions. I'm also excited Sprint just bought some people and spectrum from US Cellular in the Chicago market. In two years, Sprint will have THE best network in Chicago, and I'm happy about that.

They will probably be very tempting when it comes to their entry level pricing. Google likes to recruit a lot of customers by promotions that they lose money on, then make the money from elsewhere. (Ie: Google Play Market. If they sell only Android phones, more android apps will be bought from the market.)

The article says the Google network will be data-only, no call minutes or SMS/MMS. That stuff would be handled as VoIP, most likely through Google Voice.
So, I'm guessing it would be $20-40/month for unlimited data. Any sort of cap obviously wouldn't work for a data-only network.

Dish Network owns AWS-4 spectrum at 2000Mhz/2200Mhz spectrum. This frequency covers slightly less customers with slightly less building penetration. The best way to think of it is between Sprint's 3G and Wimax coverage.
If they decide to go with Sprint in the meantime, they'll probably be forced to have a cap on data until they get their own network on the ground. Google will definitely have a strong presence in the U.S. cellular market.
dish is horrible at making deals, look at what is going on with amc, they are having problems trying to get em back in there line up. I could see this deal collapsing if google mentions money.

Yea it does happen all the time, but amc is one of 5 or 6 channels that was dropped. Just bc they didnt want to give em more money, its been over a year and they still have yet to come to a resolution. Lets look at direct tv, when they had that 17 channel problem, they got that done within a week. So yes i do think they are bad at making deals or getting deals, resolved.

I was about to say the same and judging a company on channel deals is a bit ridiculous. It has nothing to do with wireless phone technology.

If google goes through with this I seriously doubt they'd use any CDMA carrier for any kind of backbone.
Every nexus device they've released has always been on GSM networks first and I don't even think the Nexus 4 will hit Sprint or Verizon.
Google loves the sim cards.

Google's looking at data only network, which means it'll need fast speeds to support voice over IP. LTE is a gsm based technology and Sprint is Google's best carrier friend (Google Voice, Google Play bill to account features, etc.)
