Sprint Wants to Give 3G iPhones 4G Speeds

[rhekt]

i used just a little over 1GB today alone[1096.34MB]. [not necesssarily typical] but it does happen.

ive had sprint/t-mobile/at&t and out of the three sprint was the worst in coverage and billing.

Ouch 60$ for 300mb? I'm glad I locked into Rogers 6gb for 30$/month. For 3 yrs :-D

I heard about this early this morning and called about it. I DON'T have 4G where I live and the monthly rate plan is $59.99 a month. That's a joke. I have Internet and Wifi at my house for $32 a month. I was only interested if it could possibly do what the AT&t Micro Cell (I think that's what its called) could do. Unfortunately that's not in my area yet as I have ZERO AT&T coverage at my home. By the way, the representative told me it was a 5GB monthly limit. Don't know about the 300MB limit, she never mentioned that and I specifically asked.

That can't be right. $60 for 300MB/month? Either you guys screwed up or sprint is out of their minds.

While I don't think this is worth it at all, this is to help clear up confusion:

Plan details:

Unlimited 4G usage. Download mammoth files, watch streaming videos and video conferencing without the lag. More coverage locations coming soon!

3G coverage nationwide: 5GB/mo. in total or 300 MB/mo. while off-network roaming.

Here's what they said on their site:


This plan includes

* Unlimited 4G usage. Download mammoth files, watch streaming videos and video conferencing without the lag. More coverage locations coming soon!
* Peak download speeds of over 10 Mbps and average download speeds of 3-6 Mbps
* 3G coverage nationwide: 5GB/mo. in total or 300 MB/mo. while off-network roaming. Additional monthly usage over 5GB costs 5¢/MB. You may not use more than 300 MB/mo. while off-network roaming. You can check your usage online anytime.
* Sprint reserves the right to limit throughput speeds or amount of data transferred. See what you can do with 5GB or 300MB a month on a 3G connection plan.

love the idea of 4G and hope that the next iPhone will have but employing it when its not full functional??

[KartRacer]

that was a really stupid idea advertising it with an iphone. they should have had him holding a pre or BB

Obviously you missed the entire point. Wow.

[rickybobby]

I still find it odd that they are marketing a form of next gen tech on a phone (Iphone that is) that they will never have wow thats kind of odd get it together sprint bad marketing i remember the fusiq i had with the tv wow that was new tech at the time now look where we are

[confucious]

With Verizon going for LTE I thought maybe the USA would join the rest of the world and actually have one standard.
Seems like Sprint are still persevering with WiMax so in future you will be able to have phones that work on AT&T/Verizon/Just about everywhere else in the world, you'll also be able to have a choice and buy one that works on Sprint....

Sprint has very little 4g coverage, like 20 cities total i believe. Yet they advertise like its nationwide. I had sprint for awhile. Never had a bill in my life with more hidden fees and taxes. My $40 rateplan was a $75 a month bill after fees and taxes. Sprint blows, but I cant say too many good things about at&t either..

I love the video you have. The guy is all like "So you want to go and..........**** right in the ***? Girl"Yeah......pam1!!!!!! Boob grab from ramdom guy" Boy friend goes Rambo on those ****** *******!!!!!
