Prepaid and PostPaid, Voice and Data
Boost Mobile's launch of their first-ever smartphone, the BlackBerry Curve 8330, and its $60/month unlimited, prepaid voice & data plan, got me to thinking about the true cost of owning and maintaining various smartphones on the various US carriers. With the help of Billshrink's handy-dandy charts and infographics, I did a little research and came up with the following. Note that I stuck to national...
Verizon Wireless has won the 2010 J.D. Power and Associates 2010 Wireless Customer Care Performance Study, edging out T-Mobile for the first place slot.
According to the J.D. Power press release, Verizon Wireless performs best when contacts are resolved through phone calls to customer service and visits to the company's retail stores. In both situations, Verizon Wireless representatives "perform well with regard to identifying customer... Overview
The good: Sprint’s One Click interface gives you quick access to the tools and apps that you use the most; the new front panel touch screen allows you to access messages, photos, etc. without having to open up the phone.The bad: The keyboard is not the greatest, actually a step down from the previous Lotus, and the web browser needs improvement.
Introduction
With all the messaging phones out there it’s sometimes hard to...
First, a rumor about Google's Nexus One coming to AT&T, and now, rumors about it heading to Sprint? Shortly after Walmart's "accidental" release of a Nexus One product page featuring support for all four nationwide carriers, an e-mail from Sprint Customer Solutions comes to light. In the e-mail obtained by Gizmodo, it makes direct references to the Nexus One launching on Sprint at some point in the future.
Here's the e-mail text... It’s been decided the Colts and the Saints are set to play in the Super Bowl, now is the time for you to review and vote on the top plays of the season. To cast your vote in the "Sprint Can't-Miss Play of the Year" visit the NFL mobile phone app on a Sprint cell phone or go directly to www.nfl.com/cantmiss on the web. The top 5 plays of the season have been picked by NFL Network's Rich Eisen, Jim Loftus of NFL.com, Joanna Hunter of...
When the FCC inquires about something, they really investigate. Despite Verizon's huge $350 ETF when it comes to "advanced devices" and the subsequent harassment received from the FCC, the group has determined that it wants to hear from everyone on how they apply ETFs, claiming that "there is no standard for structuring and applying ETFs throughout the wireless industry." To that end, they sent letters to AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile,... Pros: Been with Sprint for a long time. Never had an unusual problem. Cons: Customer service improving, but can still be better. I usually have to be patient with the customer service reps and have to repeat myself about 3 times before they understand. Summary: I never had an unusual problem with Sprint. I have friends that have phones with all the big networks (eg, AT&T, Verizon & T-Mobile), and the problems are the same with every company. Some of the problems that I hear people have with Sprint (which I don't experience) are; 1) They cut my phone off... Well people, this happens when you don't pay your bill. Eventually it gets cut off. And keep in mind it's a computer that cuts you off. It can't tell if you're 1 cent or $100 over your spending limit (if you have one), you're just over your limit. 2) Why do new customers get a discount and existing customers don't get anything? Not true. When you first sign up, you sign a two year agreement and get a discount. When the 2 years are done, you can sign another 2 year agreement and get another discount. Every 2 years, an existing customer can get a full discount just like a new customer. You can't take advantage of a discount, and then only one year later come into a store and start arguing that you've been a customer for 5 years, how come you don't get a (another) discount.... 3) Their prices are too high. In my opinion, they're prices are similar to the other carriers. And with the Simply Everything Plan, they are actually cheaper that the other carriers. Overall, I'm happy with Sprint and wouldn't change. They were the first to have an all digital network. One of the firsts to introduce the web on a cell phone. The first company to offer a camera phone (Sanyo 5300. First camera phone in the US). The first with Push To Talk (Nextel). One of the first to offer 3G service and the first to offer 4G service. The most reliable data service (that's why Amazon uses Sprint data service for their Kindle e-books). Why would I want to leave a company that almost leads the US industry in cellular technology? 5 out of 5 people found this review helpful Pros: cheap and good Cons: i cant think of any Summary: I havent had any issues so I have nothing to complain about 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful Pros: None that I can think of Cons: I recently became unemployed, I could not pay my bill for six weeks, until my first unemployment check came. Sprint charged me the early out of contract fee. I called and explained the situation and then Sprint said that they would take back the early out of contract - they never did. I do have my phone back on but the bills keep coming for the early out of contract. My phone is old and Sprint tells me that I cannot get a new phone until May of 2010. My battery only holds a charge for two hours. Summary: Do NOT go with a Spring account. You can find better with Verizon or AT&T. 2 out of 8 people found this review helpful Pros: my brain hurts too much Cons: bunch of goofs Summary: Got 2 new phones, while working on unlimited data plan I get offered a $10.00 discount by rep. Mind you, I've been a customer forever. When other issues moved the call upward in department they took away the offer..................I'm contemplating returning 2 phones and moving on. 2 out of 9 people found this review helpful Pros: found only 2 places that dropped calls Cons: every thing!!!!!!!!! phones were crap. long lines to get your phone fixed, promise never kept. can not under stand them on the phone. Summary: i had sprint for 3 years worst customer service ever. could not understand them over the phone most the time, for i thank their call center is in India. when trying to call sprint it would take an average of 30 min some times longer to get someone on the phone. T-Mobile maybe 3-5 min. when trying to get my phone fixed i would have to go to there store wait in line for 45 min drop it off come back in an hour wait in line for another 45 min for them to tell me they would have to order a refurbished one come back in a week. i would wait in line for 45 min get my phone and out of the 9 times i had to do this 5 times i would find that there would be a issue with the phone in about 2 hours of having it. T-Mobile dose it all on the phone no mater were your at and no lines no hassle and every phone i got back worked and in some times less then a week. long story short T-Mobile rocks hard core 1 out of 5 people found this review helpful I am a WM fan(purely because of endless mods available) and with WM7 coming next year i have a feeling i will become even a bigger one. Having said that my response to your question would be: HTC HD2 (Leo) without a doubt. How can you say no to 4.3"(800x480 resolution) screen (now compare that to iPhone lol)) with 1GZ CPU and 420mb of RAM(and all the other stuff you can think of includint GPS, 3 sensors? Now since its just rumors thats HD2 is... Is there any new phone coming out next year or soon for Sprint? anymore Android phones im looking for a new phone and right now im think of gettin the Samsung Moment but should I wait hello my Question is can i put some of my itunes on to my verizon barrage? i have a big library of itunes on my mac book? I dont want to spend anymore money then i have to please help. i have multipul removable storage files. i dont know which one to click. then how do they get transfered to my phone after iv put the music in the file hi it is kinda sad that they have no flash a all i think htc is not listening to theyre customers but i like the hero and the samsung moment but im startn to like windows now if u have time check out the htc hd2 it has a duel flash led 4.3 inch big A$$ screen all touch phone that might make u mad that u got ur phone already but maybe not im really picky ... :) its going to launch in the US in frst qtr 2010 Maaaaayyybeeee but i really want that... hey thanks for the info man i checked out the moment b4 this post i kinda like it but i think i might just might wait for the htc hd2 to hit the market you should check it out man pretty sick...but im really liking the windows 6.5 over android but then again it has its ups and downs. but thanks again brotha very cute kid btw. Hey Reyniice to kinda solve your flash delema the hero is an awesome phone dont get me wrong with the 7 customizable screens but if your worried about the flash capability. I would recomend for you the (NEW) Samsung Moment coming out for the Sprint network on Nov 1, 2009 it doesn't offer you the 5.0mp camera that the Hero does. But it does indeed offer you the flash capabilities that you are looking for running Android with its 800mhz... i was also upset that there was no flash with the camera. on the upside no need for flash lite when flash 10 will be working on tha hero ((From what i heard)). If you want flash, go pre =/ Im considering that option but i really want a hero. I left Tmo for perosnal reasons, but when I left I had a G1. I remember when I first got sprint I said if Sprint got android I'd definitely buy it. Well, it came true =] help me please im looking for an android phone i really want to go to sprint but not to happy with the hero not having a camera flash!!! sorry i should start off by telling you what im having trouble with ..ok i want an android phone with flash lite and a good camera w/flash and with sprint have you heard of anything commin out soon from them besides the hero ..i like the moto shules but its commin out for VW and i think we all know what they... I am in total agreement with this post. Sprint's bad reputation is due to a combination of things, one of which being a lack of knowlege from the public. Don't tell me sprint has bad signal-when sprint signal runs out my phones roam for free on verizon. Any phone that has its own signal and roams on verizon will have service everywhere...IF....the owner of the device simply makes sure the phone has roaming enabled. Simple as that.... |
