I wonder what happened to anti trust laws. The way it's going the 3 will settle on some packages setting prices as they like and we'll have to accept or loose it.

I loved Midwest Wireless when we had it, it all went downhill when Alltel bought them. We were 6 years customers, but dumped them in a heartbeat due to price and especially quality.

I have TMo without a contract for past 2 years, and I was with AT&T prior let's see what happens.

I use to be on Sprint, They were not bad at all. The only problem I really had with them was some spots I traveled to frequently had spotty coverage and their customer service was horrible. Vzw isn't much better but you can talk them into many things. Things have changed and I wouldn't say id change back to them but I would say their coverage is better than it was before. To each their own.

Them merging likely wouldn't happen unless one of the companies starts to fail or need to be bailed out. I do not see that happening anytime soon..

Better?

I'll stick with my cheaper plan and good service with Sprint. Keep VZ away.

But that's just me. smile

But putting the 2 companies together would leads to efficiency and economies of scale that would increase customer satisfaction and lower costs which then could be passed down to the consumer.

Or a bigger company that has more of a monopoly.

Isn't that what a free market and capitalism are all about? it didn't hurt us one bit when Ma Bell ran the land line monopoly.

The economy of scale will give them the capital to improve their range, build more towers and pour more money into R and D

I sure hope AT&T lets T_Mobile costomers stay with the plan they have but it sounds like they may not. I just want a simple service, no internet or texting, plan and paying $20 more for what I'm getting now just is not justifiable.

I wonder how long it will take for sprint and verizon to merge and make it even better.

No thanks, what was Sprints last purchase?....Nextel two way radios....LOZL!...Good one.

Truthfully I'd be OK with it if they use Verizon towers. I need my Phone to work more than 2 miles off of major interstate HYW's.... grin

AT&T still has just phone plans, well I am pretty sure. We just upgraded and we added texting and data to mine but my wife is still just voice.
They do have just phone service it cost $20 bucks more than what I am paying now. When all this buying up other companies started they are saying the same thing now as they did then and that is this will make plans cheaper and better coverage. Well they were half right but I have yet see the prices go down and from where I am sitting the price may go up 50%

Sprint Introduces New Mobile Solution to Combat Distracted Driving

Looks like you might be driving down the road with your new spring android update and have these happen.

Lock the driver’s cell phone screen and redirect calls to voice mail.

Block text-message alerts and auto-respond to the message sender that the driver is currently unavailable.

Allow access to three key contacts and three mobile applications, such as GPS navigation.

Give parents and business administrators Web portal access to configure Drive First for their teens’ or employees’ mobile devices.

Lets hope you sprint users don't have employee phones smile

You're obviously not familiar with Blackberry's device management on the IT side, which is much more powerful and has been around for a much longer time.

What Sprint is rolling out is kind of a yawner in the enterprise world. Would be good for parents i suppose.

Glad I dont have to worry about either my BB or Android being subjected to these restrictions. smile

Winning!

The deal is not approved yet. AT&T has already declared any 3g phone will not work with the new system. FTC is looking into the anti trust infringements.

They paid 39 billions for 34 million customers, that means we are worth $ 1200 a piece. I wonder how they are going to get their money back..... hmmm whistle

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
