Even among Verizon customers, LTE voice doesn't sound any better, or maybe I'm 
not using it right?

Re: For Those Who May be in the Market for a New Cell Provider in the USA, Sprint Launches LTE+ Service

2015-11-23 Thread Mike Arrigo 
I think eventually, everything will be LTE which will use a sim card, 
and CDMA will be phased out, but it will be a while before that 
happens. Even with LTE, not all providers use that for voice 
communications yet. Once they do, voice calls will be similar to using 
skype or other voip services.

Original message:

I think with Sprint and Verizon, it's kind of both. You have the sim for
data on LTE, but yet you have CDMA for the voice part or for areas that have
no LTE available. I think the phones can be more easily switched though as
they have to unlock if you aren't under contract or on an installment plan.

$650 per line with an American Express Reward Card after online registration
and phone turn-in. 

Sprint says its new LTE Plus network is faster than Verizon's and AT's
networks, citing Nielsen Mobile Performance data. NMP uses crowdsourced data
from Android users in 44 of the largest markets in the U.S., and it found
that in 20 of the 44 markets, users downloading files over 5 MB did it
fastest on Sprint. The carrier says the new network can reach up to 100
Mbps, includes stronger service with an extended 2.5 GHz signal and more
reliable service with three bands of spectrum: 1.9 GHz for broad coverage,
800 MHz for indoor coverage and 2.5 GHz for faster speeds.

Current Sprint customers will get a free tablet with one year of free
service while supplies last. Sprint says this offer is a $360 value.

One thing  to keep in mind with Sprint is that it's CDMA. Personally, I'm 
never doing another Sprint branded phone. GSM or even a Verizon phone that 
can also be used on GSM networks.

Hello Everyone,

Sprint announced it is launching it's new LTE + 3 band LTE service in 77
markets in the USA.  This also comes with an offer to cut T-Mobile, AT and
Verizon plan costs in half.

The following is the text to the article the link to which is located at the
end of the piece.

Enjoy,

Mark

print today launched its LTE Plus network, which is available today in 77
major markets in the U.S. To celebrate, the carrier is announcing what its
calling "the biggest wireless offer in U.S. history", offering 50 percent
off of T-Mobile, Verizon and AT rate plans. The offer runs from November
20 to January 7, 2016 and the pricing remains in place until January 8,
2018.

"We've made tremendous strides with our network because we know consumers
want wireless service that provides consistent speed and reliability," said
Marcelo Claure, Sprint CEO. "We are so confident that customers will have an
amazing experience that we are encouraging them to give us a try with the
biggest wireless offer in the history of our industry. Customers switching
to Sprint will never need to look elsewhere. They will learn what our 58
million customers already know - Sprint offers the best value and an
award-winning network."

T-Mobile, Verizon and AT customers who want to switch to the network will
get Sprint plans that mirror their old plans, only for half the price. For
example, a T-Mobile customer with four lines and 10 GB of data per line pays
$180 per month at T-Mobile, but will only pay $90 at Sprint. An AT family
who pays $100 for 15 GB data will get the same thing at Sprint for $50.
Verizon customers paying $80 for 12 GB will get the same for $40. Verizon
and AT customers will also get 50 percent off access fees.

The discounts are only available to consumer plans for Verizon's 1 GB, 3 GB,
6 GB, 12 GB, 18 GB, 20 GB and 25 GB shared data plans, T-Mobile's Simple
Choice 2 GB, 6 GB and 10 GB plans and AT's 300 MB, 2 GB, 5 GB, 15 GB, 20
GB and 25 GB shared data plans. Specific carrier features like unlimited
music and video, data rollover and cloud options do not carryover to Sprint.

Customers switching over to Sprint can also take advantage of iPhone
Forever, Sprint's plan that allows customers to upgrade to a new iPhone
every year. It's also a "worry-free" offer, with customers having 28 days to
try out Sprint's service. If they're not happy, they can return it without
incurring a restocking fee. Sprint will also pay any switching fees up to
$650 per line with an American Express Reward Card after online registration
and phone turn-in.

Sprint says its new LTE Plus network is faster than Verizon's and AT's

Re: For Those Who May be in the Market for a New Cell Provider in the USA, Sprint Launches LTE+ Service

2015-11-20 Thread Brent Harding 
I think they are all unlockable now after the contract or payment plan are 
paid off. I think Verizon is as much CDMA as Sprint is. Sprint is a decent 
value for the money though, at least around here. There are places where it 
doesn't work so well, but that problem probably exists with everyone.

2015-11-20 Thread Kelly Pierce 
Realize that the only iPhone that can use an LTE Plus network
described in the Sprint offer is the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus.  Other
iPhones cannot take advantage of the faster speeds or the extended
coverage range.
