As for t mobile, I have tried them, but in my area coverage is not good. Also when I travel I have coverage issues as well. If it worked I would love to use them but I guess my area isn't a priority to them. Only companies that work for me are big red and sprint and I don't feel like giving verizon an arm an a leg for their service.

I agree that it's next to useless, but I think OP's idea is that if enough people complain/****/whine (whichever way one perceives it), it will attract some sort of attention... whether it be from the Sprint top dogs, competitors seeking to attract defectors, third party tech news sites, any type of social media, real media, oblivious Sprint customers like your uncle, etc..

But if the handling of "4G tax" has shown us anything, it's that Sprint really wants or needs this revenue for their business strategies and goals. So much so that they were willing to suffer a PR black eye to stick with it AND introduce other fees on top of this... during a time when their #1 competitor is getting the #1 phone on the market. This is either overly ridiculous or totally desperate.

That leads me to say that all the FCC filings won't do much if anything. If they miraculously scrap any of the various $10 fees, they're going to turn around and get it elsewhere in order to stay afloat.

Show them what you think with your wallet or just open that wallet up for them.
