Didn't see you in /spg/. Anyways, is it better to lease a phone or pay through easy pay?
>>
I have sprint. My only problem is lack of phone variety
>>
>>51746413
Sprint doesn't cap, but they throttle after 23GB if you're on a tower with a lot of users. It polls every 200ms so as soon as the tower is no longer congested, the throttling ceases.

It's so the top 3% of data users don't make the service unbearably slow for the other 97%. Every US carrier has something similar if you go digging in the fine print.
>>
>>51746491
fuck off sprint shill, i like to actually get service and sprint sucks major balls west of the mississippi

just like tmobile sucks balls outside of any major city. commercials bragging about how strong/fast their 4g signal is doesnt mean shit when half the time you arent even in 4g

i pay for what i want faggot

Verizon network guy here, get a network that works and I might even switch :) Hated going through some highways with a sprint phone playing our favorite game "Signal or No Signal!"

Sprint has 0 coverage where I'm at. Would would be the next carrier you'd recommend? I'm liking t mobile . I like their binge on feature which would benefit me a ton
>>
>>51746537
why arent you excited for the fact that verizon may follow suit instead of just saying "fuck you sprint"

why do you enjoy getting keked?

fucking shill
>>
>>51746507
I just got home. Holidays are shit for hours. Thats my fault and I am sorry.

Lease is the best, saves you 200 bucks if you didnt want the phone and if you do, your monthly payments are less than Easypay would be because of the 200 dollar difference.
>>
>>51746692
For coverage, Verizon. For data, Tmobile. But I would just get sprint, request a airwave. I assume you are at home with wifi. If so, the Airwave will be a god-send and you can have cheap unlimited data when you arnt at home and still so-so coverage.

Also, sorry for late reply. Ex is trying to hook back up and is looking for sum fuk.
>>
>>51747085
Ah nice. Second off, is it true there's no data cap no matter what plan you're on?

Its 1,2,4,5,8,10,12,15,20,and 25 GB of LTE speeds, then its unlimited 2G all day. So yes, its "unlimited"
>>
>>51747307
I wrk for sprint and im not going to lie. Verizon is better for coverage and thats all they have. Their prices are shit, their phones are locked down, and they suck ass at about everything else. Nobody tell you how they was given 8 billion in stimulus to rebuild infrastructure and lower prices and all they did was pocket it? will post source if to lazy to google.

Why is verizon going to sue sprint? Verizon is about to go for broke while sprint is ontop of gobs of money.
>>
>>51746442
How does the SERO plan work and is it easy to switch phones like when a new Nexus comes out next year and still be able to keep the plan?
>>
>>51747744
its 35 for unlimited everything and you have to do a 2-year agreement. I know sprint is removing 2 year agreements on the 1st of the year, but it still will be offered to SERO subscribers.

>>51747843
So it clearly states that it doesnt care for your personal data. It uses WiFi IP to save battery on GPS by looking at the IP of networks and locating them, thus locating you, and getting a betting lock on where you are.
>>
>>51747785
Ok, but how easy is it to switch between unlocked phones once I get the plan? Will I be able to just call sprint and ask em to switch the MEID for me and just ask em for a new ICCID? After the 2 year agreement is over can I still keep the plan as well as the same rates? Lastly, how exactly do I join this plan? Do I just walk in a sprint store and ask for this specific plan or is this more like a friends / family of sprint employees kind of thing?
>>
>>51748029
Sprint wont activate unlocked phones for you unfortunately. I had this issue with a customer today. We wont even activate Boost phones. After your 2 year term is up, you keep the plan, but you can cancel anytime. Only way to get the plan is to either be a employee for 3 months, or know someone on the inside.

>Sprint wont activate unlocked phones for you unfortunately

How does this make any sense? So let's say your phone gets stolen / broken / just died then you're stuck with a plan that you won't be able to use?
>>
>>51748221
*sigh* You have to get the insurance and pay the premium, or buy another sprint phone either from us or other means.

Granted I've never tried swapping an existing customer to an unlocked phone, but I've activated a few unlocked Verizon iPhones myself. I don't see why it would be different. We just call up to our sales support center, have them add the IMEI to the system, and then just activate them like any other phone. We would need a Sprint SIM, though, but the customer can call Order Support for that, but more often than not, we have spare ones laying around that we save for new customers.
>>
>>51748493
OH LORD YOU HAVE SIM CARDS JUST LAYING AROUND HOLY JESUS WE CHARGE 35 A POP!? WE COUNT THEM FUCKERS TOO
>>
>>51748574
Not many. We might have two or three at a time. Just whatever SIM cards we can bum off of buybacks/trade-ins.
>>
>>51748648
I never thought of snatching buyback sims. But back to activating unlocked phones on Sprint. Ive been told countless times that we cant activate Verizon phones. I also have a nigger who I work with who wont even let you try, she just starts yelling about how you cant and will make a big thing about it and get a manager.

You can, though, at least for new customers I know you can, but only unlocked Verizon iPhones (5S and newer). It was even mentioned in the Playbook a long time ago. Try calling NSS and confirm with them if it can be done, when you get a chance.

It's not cause of cost cutting, its cause jewgle is tryna make you join the buttnet and use jewgle drive and Google play music cause SD cards are old tech amirite and everyone in the world has unlimited 4g and doesn't need more memory, and if you do, just buy the 64gb model for only $100 more goyim!

Actually its a mexican company Movistar, don't know if they operate outside Mexico.
I got a call one day and they offered me this deal if I switched companies (I was using Telcel then) of course I took it asap since all I had to do was pick up the new chip at their local office/store.
To top it off its not even a contract, I literally can just pay the $3.50 at any of many stores and also stop at any time I want, I could also get all that plus unlimited Facebook and Twitter for $7 but I'm sticking to this one until February when I get a job.
The best thing about this is that it will force Telcel to be more competitive and consumer friendly.
>>
>>51749285
Being I have 4 unlimited data lines and rent out 3 to other users, i'm passing the cost right to them. I get 150 bucks a month from each user, my bill is like 300ish a month. I'm making money on my cell phone plan

Why is your service such fucking shit? I used Sprint for years and finally rage quit a while ago. Everything about it is fucking backwards. Sprint doesn't even use SIM cards. If you buy a phone that works with Sprint you can pretty much only use it with Sprint or one of their resellers. And yeah, there's "no data cap" but that really doesn't fucking matter when you're getting 56k speeds and could never reach what other services are capped at.

And those speeds in that image are only if you can actually connect to Sprint's shitty "4G" network. Which I usually couldn't. I'd usually be left with either 3G or even fucking 2G, which is just disgusting. Looking at pic related, I sure fucking wonder what carrier I would pick. I don't even understand why Sprint bother's servicing this area if this is all they will offer.

>>
>>51755144
Not him, but I could understand how he could easily reach the cap. An hour of streaming audio at 320kbps is 140.625MB of data transfer. If you were to listen to an hour of music a day (running, at the gym, whatever) then that alone would be over 4GB of data.
>>
>>51755191
If you stream 320kbps music for long periods of time you deserve to run out of data
>>
>>51755144
step up senpai

>>51755232
T-Mobile doesn't agree. They don't meter music streaming through supported apps, many of which serve 320kbps MP3s.

>B-but anon, I get 50 Mb/s down!!!1!!!

Why would you "deserve" to run out of data? Is it some sort of finite resource that we're in danger of running out of? Or are you just an idiot that fell for some garbage marketing designed to get you to pay more for data caps?
