T-Mobile will get a new CEO in a few days.

What will that mean to us? I hope lower plan prices.

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.

Maybe their next flagship phone won't cost $80 more than the other carriers.....

Lower plan prices???? I just signed up for my first plan and Verizon would have cost me $75 more a month. That's including me paying for my phones each month. I'd like to see more 4g coverage and that means huge investments by tmo. Lower prices won't get us there.

Verizon is pretty much out of control with their plans. Would cost me 109 a month with 5gb of data. They can take their share everything plans and go play in traffic

$1,000,000 a month

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.

It's not just dollars and cents when compare providers, the coverage should be take in consideration and Verizon LTE just smokes Tmo most of the time.

Not for long.

Tmobile needs to get more coverage aswell as the other bells and whistles. My area doesn't even provide 3g from T-Mobile.

I doubt anything will really change.
You have to remember, its not good customer service to alter or increase the price of plans, etc or anything just because you hire in a new person, even if said person is the CEO.
I mean, imagine how many people will jump ship, how many dollars is that lost? Millions.

actually a lot has changed.
In case you didn't notice, this thread was started last September.
Plans, pricing, contracts, HSPA+42, LTE, etc, etc, all have been influenced and changed by the new leadership in the company.

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.

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.

I switched a long time ago, but back then i was paying 80 bucks for less then what i have now and am now paying 67 a month for T-Mobile service. Granted, I lost a lot of coverage, but for what i use it for, its perfect.

I pay $80.00 a month everything unlimited.

I made the switch from Sprint. IMHO I believe that T-Mobile has hit bottom and can only improve their standing at this point. Verizon costs too much to even consider.
I will be paying $240 plus taxes and fees since switching to the new plan style........oh yeah....that price is for 8 Phones!!!! All unlimited calls, texts. Tthen two of the lines with unlimited data and the rest get the free 500 mb cuz they don't use a lot.

Tmo ETF

What is the early termination fee if you have 4 lines, 2 of which have conctracts running this month and the other 2 after one year and you want to switch to the "no contract" plan tmo has introduced? Would tmo let you switch without any fees? How does it work?

The last time they tried to tell me to change my plan to the non-contract one they said they could do it with no charges but i would still have to stay for the life of my contract seems kind of a catch 22 to me.

I just came from VZW.. 2 lines... The only one paying my ETF is me, TMO isn't obligated to pay your ETF, nor should they be. ETF isn't part of plans, it's part of the customer agreement, and I read somewhere about that being a nono anyways of one carrier paying another carrier's fees. If they got caught doing that, they (or the employee doing it), could get into some serious trouble.

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.

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.
