It's true, you can't talk and at the same time surf the Internet or use an app on new Sprint phones due to there sparq antennas...i haven't upgraded in 3 years for this reason...so fukk Sprint when the Note 6 drops

Is it because they're cdma? Seems odd.

partly..Verizon is CDMA to but they have talk and surf on new phones because they have two different antennaes. Sprint cheap asses uses the sparq antennae which is to big to fit another antennae in the phone for the purposes surfing the net. Thats why since 2014 there stock has plummeted and customers leaving in droves..I wouldnt be surprised if they didnt exist in 5 years if they dont switch it up

Sprint has pulled an ad in which it was calling its competitor, T-Mobile, "ghetto." The ad featured company's CEO Marcelo Claure. "I'm going to tell you a carrier name and I want you to basically tell me what comes to your mind," Claure said in the ad. "T-Mobile. When I say T-Mobile to you, just a couple of words?" Which is when a white woman chimes in, "Oh my god the first word that came to my head was ... ghetto." "That sounds, like, terrible," she says. "I don't know't know. There's always, like, three carriers; there's AT&T, Sprint and Verizon. And people who have T-Mobile are just, like... Why do you have T-Mobile?"

If she said cricket wireless or metro pcs or boost mobile I'd frown but be like she right

Yea on new Sprint phones you can't talk n surf on data you gotta be on wifi..shyts lame because I'm on the go alot and now with these wireless bluetooth ear pieces it's really convenient to talk and surf. Sprint really fukked themselves with that decision once there customers catch on its a wrap for them

boost mobile is sprints.

only reason for anyone to have sprint is if they have one of those old grandfathered unlimited plans... sprint barely works in LA. :camby:

its not grandfathered, they are still selling unlimited plans

the phone calls work fine and the LTE works good, but their LTE network coverage isnt that great and drops down to 3G when you are driving around

but overall not having to give a fuk about how much data i use makes up for the other things

you only get a gig at LTE then the rest is 2g/3g but if it works for you :manny:

i know they are planning to add towers in the SoCal market.
