thx
Just to add to the rumors, Where I work, we have multiple sites which cell companys lease space from us for towers. Today, I ran into the Sprint electrician and asked him about when my area is getting 4G coverage. He did not have a specific time frame for me but he did say " Yeah I heard we were launching that new 4G phone at the end of May." He was also leaning towards sooner that later for the coverage update, citing the Los Angeles area is next for the upgrade. So take it for what its worth.

Re: Sprint HTC Evo 4G

We don't know right now that Sprint will make us add something additional for the phone. I think it should just be the same especially if you have unlimted data plans.

Its worth a hike for me personally.

Re: Sprint HTC Evo 4G

Positive quotes from Hesse?

Quote:
9:35AM "It's like standard def versus high def, but with that analogy, you paid more for the better service. With 4G, we're giving you more for free."

9:34AM With 4G, "because we can produce a gigabyte cheaper, we can offer more to the customer."

I don't really see how they can charge for 4G if you don't have 4G (which is a majority of subscribers). It'd make more sense that if they were going to charge extra for it, you'd still be able to use the phone off a 3g plan.

Re: Sprint HTC Evo 4G

@PhantomApolyon

Add-On: I just read your reply again. DO me a favor. Don't try to twist things around. I am stating facts as I see them regarding Sprint, as they pertain to me. You can defend Sprint all you want, but don't Direct certain Innuendos towards me. I don't do that with anyone here, so I'd appreciate if you didn't do it to me.
And there is No other Plan that would give me what I have now for the price I am paying, or even come close, so you may want to give more consideration regarding your quick answers to issues that I am bringing up. So as not to clutter the thread, I'd be happy to discuss these issues further via pm if you so desire.

I read your reply and let me say this. I am not ranting. I am stating facts as they are. 3G to 4G I can understand requiring a 4G plan if one is on a 3G plan, if there is no work around. But with all of the other 3G devices that came out, I should not have to be required to switch plans if my Diamond works fine on it, the other devices should also. Sugar Coating the reasons that Sprint does things does not change the fact that there are most likely work arounds that Sprint does not choose to incorporate.
I have Unlimited Data with my plan. I have 3g with my plan and device. It appears that anytime Sprint comes out with a New Non WinMo Device, they want me to change my plan in order to purchase the new Non WinMo phone. I won't pay 100's or 1000's of dollars more over a 2 year contract period in order to purchase a New Device.
I am confused by your explanation as I don't know what really pertains to me and what does not. If the new devices are 3G EVDO capable, they should work on the Plan I now pay for.
If Sprint requires certain codes for certain devices, than that is something that most likely can be adjusted unless they just want to get Customers off of certain plans because the other Required plans are more Profitable for them.
Don't confuse Rants with Facts.
I have been a Sprint Customer for over 10 Years and have put 1000's of Dollars into their Kitty.
There is something Fundamentally wrong with requiring Customers to change Plans that would cost 1000's of Dollars more than what they are on now, to get less.

I think a kitty is worth putting thousands of dollars into IMO..

That said sprint is just trying to make most out of its money..to them if they can switch 2 people off SERO thats like 1 extra subscriber.

Of course from a SERO perspective it is a huge money saver...it kinda boils down to this...what do you use your phone for.

If you wanna just make calls and other things on the side SERO is perfect and is too cheap to swap.

If you wana download movies and etc and utilize 4G it is another story..

lets use dial-up as an example it costs $10 a month and is great for nayone who just wants internet here and there..but when more is given you pay mroe for broadband..it boils down to what exactly you need and want.

It boils down to what exactly the carrier gives...as it stands it is not enough to get some people to swap others swap for 4G because it is worth it to them...at one point you will probably give up the SERO but the carrier ahs to give enough incentive in your mind to justify the cost.

To clarify, I don't have SERO. I pay over $100 a month for my plan which is the Free & Clear Family Plan.

I had a powerpack family with (3) lines and unlimted data that was over $100. I now have an Everything Data Family 1500 3 lines - with Any Mobile, Anytime and (3) $5 unlimited incoming add-ons. It's exactly the same price, maybe $1 more and I can change to any phone I want. Glad I changed. I had the same attitude you have but I decided the best thing to do was make a deal. In pouting about it your dealtime is getting slimmer. You really will be paying a whole lot more if you don't act soon. The pickings on deals are getting slimmer and slimmer. This is just my experience.
