Yeah, this is fantastic...We will see great thing in terms of business moves from Sprint, will definitely allow them to push out more green to upgrade infrastructure.

While it's good for Sprint customers, I do regret that the profits from my monthly payment will be sent to a Japanese company.

My main concern is will they be bumping up the monthly prices? Or maybe even remove the unlimited data plan. I really hope they don't change anything.

Well Im just happy they are rolling out the 800mhz spectrum in my area when I talked to support.

Although we'll only ever be indirect beneficiaries of it, I also hope the capital helps them refarm the 800MHz spectrum from their IDEN network-- and of more interest to us, that they're able to repurpose those towers to also broadcast our particular flavor of LTE.

I am on the Verizon network. I hope that Sprint does something cool. Like roll out new LTE and new towers for a broader coverage and some how keep their current price structure and unlimited data plan. This would help to show these other two idiotic greedy companies that profits and good business can truly be done at the same time. Then maybe their pricing structures will be lowered and their data limits be raised. But, I doubt that. These are greedy idiots we are talking about here. And truthfully, I would not put it past Sprint to go in the same direction as the other two companies.

As long as I'm grandfathered into what's going to be the best network in America, I'm cool. I also have no problems paying full price for my phones since I already do that too. Next 2 years should be fun.

I don't think so. A big part of what's keeping Sprint alive now is the truly unlimited data.
The Thanks button is just to avoid "THANKS" posts in threads. Nothing more. Don't defeat the purpose of why it was introduced.

I got sprint 4G LTE faster in my town than both at&t and Verizon ever did...plus I've noticed much...much better signal quality..looks like sprint really is trying here

Ya, if I recall correctly SoftBank took a failing wireless company overseas and lowered their prices, increased their network capacity and speeds and turned them into the #2 carrier for their region. I think we can expect similar if not identical plans to now but with a far better network.

I read thread title and thought OH cool, Sprint HTCONE 4.2.2 is here. Not the case :crying:

If 4.2.2 came out the thread name would have been "OMGITSHEREGUYSOMGOMGOMG" or something like that. But I hope we get updates faster in the future because of the changes being made.

True, we've had a global economy for centuries, although not quite to its current extent. But one only has to look at history to see the negative effects of profits going away from where they are created. For example, in the 1800's, the US north bought raw materials from the south and made items to sell. Even to this day, the wealth in this country is concentrated in the northeast. Similarly, I think many of the issues Africa and South America have are due to the wealth created from their natural resources being sent overseas or being concentrated into the hands of a few. I'm not saying that Softbank owning Sprint will cause the US to become a slum and I look forward to seeing what will happen, but it is a little sad nonetheless.

Thanks! I was going back and forth between this and the S4, but Best Buy had the One for $99. With my reward zone cert and gift card I preregistered for, I ended up paying $50. Pretty sweet deal that also coincided with the LTE launch here.

Unlock HTC ONE?

I can't afford to pay $100 a month to Sprint so I want to know if there any options out there to unlock the phone or flash it over to another carrier. I don't know anything about this stuff and would really appreciate some answers.

Then why did you buy it? You know what's going to be much less affordable than your $100 per month? Your increased interest rates on anything you finance in the future since you jacked up your credit.

Now, there's no need to start lecturing. Sure, ideally OP wouldn't be in this situation, but things happen (job loss, medical, personal), so let's just see if we can be more helpful.
OP, generally Sprint phones are difficult to move. There are people that go to janky 3rd party carriers, but this is annoying and difficult. No matter what, you'll have to end up paying the ETF with Sprint to get out of that contract. Otherwise, you'll have a mark on your credit (which is not worth the $2-300).
You could think about going with Ting. They have a BYOD program, but none of the new phones are in the program. Perhaps in a year it will be available.
Lastly, $100/mo. seems high for Sprint service. Are you sure you looked at all the plans and your options? I, personally, am in a family plan with some family members, and it ends up being about $55/user, subsidized.

If he's doing just a straight individual plan, this could be around the price after TEP and taxes and such.

Here is the answer to your question.
guide how to flash to htc one (M7) to cricket or other carrier
Sprint phones are easily flashed to cricket and even when your bill or contract is burnt and sprint flags your esn unusable.

Is there a video or tutorial on how to flash the phone over?

If you want to use a GSM carrier, I wrote a simple app that will SIM unlock your phone...

i pay 77 i get discount from my job
plus i take insurance off

Mines almost $300! With 4 lines though...
Sent from my HTCONE using Tapatalk

Why do you take insurance off? Don't TEP cover your phone when you have a brick or something like that?
Sent from my HTCONE using Tapatalk 4

I have the same plan and mine is always just over $100.
Sent from my HTCONE using Tapatalk

261.62 for 5 lines, really on the fence to try AT&T though, Sprint only offers 10% discount while at&t is 30% for the company.

I have the same plan with TEP and the $10 premium data. $83 after taxes, fees and employee discount.

That $10.00 premium data is a big joke as there is nothing premium about it. I am lucky to to get a half meg down or a ping under 250.
Companies can state any price they want now and just add fees to everything.
I was thinking that when I upgraded from EVO 3D to the ONE I would get better speeds. Not so!
Hell my Hero did better than the evo or the one.

So why the Hell is the bill so inflated?
Sent from my HTCONE using Tapatalk 4

if you had a business discount, you might wanna check and see if its been taken off.
sprint apparently sent me a "renewal paper" in the mail, never got it, so i was unaware that i had to renew my discount.
ended up losing it, and my bill went from 70 to 90, just like yours.
had to go through the new discount program webpage and all that chit just to get a discount. not to mention signing a 2 yr agreement.

Taxes, surcharges...all that fun extra stuff the government and Sprint like you to pay. Its been skyrocketing the past few years.

You're on an $80 dollar plan before tax. Assuming you don't have insurance...$91 isn't that bad. It's called taxes.
I'd recommend rolling over into the My Way Plan. $80 would give you unlimited everything rather than 450 minutes. Get more for the same amount of money. Check into discounts through AAA, any credit union member or your employer as well. But honestly for a contracted carrier...your price isn't as unreasonable as you're making it sound considering the prices of other carriers. I believe you could save around $10 or so with T-Mobile. Not sure how their coverage is in your area though.
Sent from my HTCONE using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Just about any company in existence gets a discount with Sprint lol. Just check with them, even my employer gets a measley 13% discount but that's almost $17 off per month which is pretty reasonable.

If you can't get a discount through your employer I think they offer discounts to credit union members. Open an account with the minimum amount and profit.
I pay $82 and that includes the $11 insurance.

+1 to that. For what its worth, i pay $240 for 4 phones all them with TEP and VVM. Sprint kills you on regulatory fees and gov fees and all that bull****

Or just move over to t-mobile... Especially if you have LTE

What carrier are you using your N5 with? -Discussion-

Lots of threads about shipping among other things. But what carrier are you using your PHONE on? I am personally using T-Mobile with Unlimited everything on a family plan.
Since this device is being sold around the world, i think an actual poll would be too lengthy and have too many options. So please just post as a comment!

Depending on your current bill, could potentially be worth it to cancel early. I have a friend that is going to cancel their verizon, because they will save more money than the cancellation fee.
As for me, T-mobile, been with them since 2001. (GO VOICESTREAM)

Um, you forgot to add the poll to your poll thread.

I will be using AIO pro plan.

Sprint is my carrier.

Will be Three UK. 2000 minutes, 5000 texts, 5000 three to three minutes, unlimited data with free upgrade to 4G in December including unlimited tethering all for £15 a month on a 12 month sim only contract.

Same Situation, however I am in the midst of fighting with them over this nonsensical 61 Cent "Administrative Fee" they added per line to my Family Plan. They never notified anyone and in breach of contract. I am going to try to be released for their breach of contract.

T-Mobile!

I ordered the free micro sim kit from T-Mobile today. Plan on buying their 1000 minute $100/yr prepaid plan. Wifi for 90% of it's use. Sad to hear about Google stopping 3rd party VOIP apps next year, no more GrooveIP, Talkatone and others... still not sure if I'd use 1000 minutes per year.

AT&T is my grandfather's plan, don't think I'll be seeing a 2g data data toggle on this one.

Straight talk At&t. I really wish Tmo would get the LTE in my area already because that seems to be the best choice. Just can't deal with edge/2g speeds and att has great LTE coverage for me. Even better than vzw in a lot of places.

I'm coming from at&t to Verizon. I just ordered a g2 on the Verizon edge plan. I'm the type that likes to switch phones yearly..so I'm hoping this plan isn't riddled with hidden BS. Anyone care to elaborate on the pros/cons that may not be widely known about this plan?
Looking forward to Verizons strong coverage..thanks guys

You're paying about 88 more than a 2 year contract over those 12 months, and if you ever decide you don't want to upgrade you still have to end up paying the full retail of the phone.
not to mention you have to trade your phone back in whenever you do decide to upgrade, its kind of a bunk deal if you ever want to get out of service with them.

You do have to trade yout phone back in, but you only have you pay 50% of the phones retail value in order to upgrade.

I knew there would be some drawbacks...but we'll see. Thanks guys
