Need a new phone

[Bouncer]

It is LTE, but the LTE coverage of Sprint/TMo is less than AT&T and Verizon, so there is a greater chance that as you go to the outskirts of town of on some smaller highways, the phone may fall back to 3G.

If you currently get LTE everywhere with Sprint, then you'll be fine.

Ok, cool, yea it's LTE everywhere around NorCal that I've been. If anything I should have even better coverage cause it uses both sprint and tmobile right?

[Scrumhalf]

Absolutely, I think you're golden.

Scrum what happens if you go over on data. Do they charge you fees or what? Which data package are you going with?

My original nexus 5 is now turning itself on and off about 15 times per day. When it's not doing that it is turning the camera on and off. I really don't have much of a choice at this point, gonna need to jump on this deal.

[Scrumhalf]

You just pay the extra. For example, if you sign up for 2GB and you use 2.15GB, then you are charged an extra $1.50. Pretty simple.

Just a FYI. Amazon has the Nexus 6P for special 6 month financing and it's $549, if you have an amazon credit line. Tempted to pull the trigger and buy it tonight lol

Perfect, just looked at how much data I used last month and 75% of the data used is YouTube shit I watch on the treadmill at the gym. I can easily cut that out. I should be able to easily fit within the 2gb plan.



Now that I think about it, my gym has wifi that I never used. I'll just sign into that for YouTube on treadmill. Lol

[Scrumhalf]

That's the thing. There's WiFi all over the place these days. At home, at work, in the gym, in malls and shopping centers and restaurants.

That's way too much for a damn phone for me.

I got it scrum. I just went with the 1GB data package to keep it low as possible. Why sign up for anything higher if there is no overage charges? lol. If you go over your just charged for what you use so I don't see why I would sign up for anything more.

Me and my girl are currently on sprint and the total per month comes out to just over $100 per month for service and that is using a friends employee discount. If we were to both use Fi instead our total monthly bill would be $60 bucks. That's $40 per month cheaper than what we pay with sprint. That comes out to a savings of $480 per year using Fi over sprint. That's nut. She's an iphone user but her phone is getting old and she's agreed to switch over to android for this deal.

I can see absolutely no benefit of keeping sprint over Fi. Fi even allows unlimited tethering, something that sprint charges an additional $15 fee for.

Fuck the cell phone companies scrum.. we are team Fi! :D

P.S. Unlike your free Oregon Tax, I got charged $16 for California Tax on the order. Bah.. The price you pay for sunshine I guess.. blah.

P.P.S. I had to pry open my Nexus 5 this morning and unplug and replug the battery to stop the phone from it's restart loop that it was stuck in. Lets hope the new Nexus is better quality. I only got the Nexus 5 2 years ago and it's already dieing. The HTC One X was made of better materials for sure, that thing never put a foot wrong.

I thought you were new to sprint so won't you have an early termination fee?

[Bouncer]

That's if you are under some sort of contract. I brought my Nexus 5 to them. That's the benefit of a Nexus phone.

But even if they were to try and charge some sort of early termination fee. I simply wouldn't pay it. Fuck them. They never did me any favors.

Hey scrum, how long after you ordered did they ship? I ordered mine 5:30am and it still hasn't shipped. What the hell kinda shit shack they running over there at Google!? :D

[Scrumhalf]

Well, I ordered it at 11pm on Saturday and the FedEx shipping notice said the package was picked up at 6pm on Monday. Since it is weekdays for you, I wouldn't be surprised if yours ships by tomorrow evening.

[Bouncer]

mine shipped just now! should have it Monday!

[Scrumhalf]

Yeah, looks like they ship same day! Mine probably took an extra day because of the weekend. Did yours ship from Chicago too?

Mine made it safely across the mountains! It is in Troutdale, on the other side of town about 30 miles away. Should get it tomorrow!
