BIG CHANGES coming to Sprint in 2008! (talk about upcoming services/devices here)

**PCSuser** · 02-23-2008, 04:04 PM

So, in 2008 there are alot of new things Sprint is coming out with (especially in the 1st/2nd quarter).

1. With the Airave coming out in April for its national launch this will hopefully help out people who do not get good service at their homes; and this will also give you a good reason to cancel your home phone service - with their unlimited anytime minutes via Airave for $15.

2. qChat is coming in April with the LG, and Sanyo 200 reported to be in by the 16th of the month. And later in the month of April we should see the Sanyo 700, and the Samsung z400

3. 99% of Sprint customers will be transffered onto the new Ensemble billing platform by the end of March - meaning that the Pick3 (and other features) that are not available to those on P2K will be available to almost everyone! And at this point they should start to be advertised as add-ons, and what not.

4. Also, at an unspecified date Sprint will also be creating new plans; and possibly releasing an Unlimited Plan to compete with other carriers in the nation.

5. Sprint is re-vamping its Customer Service experience with the new online forums (BuzzAboutWireless), online e-care chats, shorter wait times, CustomerAssist program, online ESN swaps, more pressure on Sprint reps to make them preform better such as the "color system" thats now in place and much more!

6. Sprint will launch Xohm in partnership with ClearWire. Welcome to the world of WiMax!

Anything else thats big going on with Sprint this year; be it products, services, or customer service?

(Well without further a-do, I though we might be able to create a thread for the upcoming stuff that Sprint has planned - and since there is so much, maybe convene it to one thread here; instead of creating clutter.)

WOW I am so interested in what Sprint is going to have new pricing plans so in Dec 08 I can choose a new pricing plan and a new phone which it will not be a Samsung.

Hopefully they will market better and more.

And I will be in the 1 percent that will not be transferred by the end of March.

I want to see that customerassist program effectively implemented for all customers.

Man, I can't wait for the Qchat phones. Too bad I just added two more lines and they won't be available for upgrades for another two years

When is Wimax rumored to go public in Chicago / DC / Baltimore? What are people hearing about devices? Is it just going pc cards or we will see something like the rumored Nokia N830 tablet?

if they make a tablet that uses wimax expect that to work.
A few companys have developed ones that use evdo, so they'll be re-releasing them with WiMax.

my g/f's account is getting migrated, got the letter today. i have a phone on her plan that i don't use often, but it's a start.

my 3rd party employee plan, i don't know. noboby at IPCS knows anything about ensemble migration. they only told me if i tried to manually migrate, I'd have no support thru them directly for billing issues/etc.
