To be fair, not true. YOU can as a current Sprint customer, but if I were to have say, my wife decide to switch from Verizon to Sprint tomorrow, there is ABSOLUTELY NO WAY for her to join Sprint as a new customer without a 2 year contract, whether she pays $999999999999 up front for her equipment or not.
[HTC EVO 3D] etbrandt2:
Maybe they could you know, fix their ****ing network and people wouldn't leave?

Never mind that unlimited data is going away eventually, no matter what. But hey, have fun with your crusade against the inconsequential amount of people using 00001
[HTC EVO 3D] Raignonem:
Lmao u know what the problem is? I've had Sprint for a long time realizing they had not so good service in my area. But for the price I signed my contract also thinking that it would improve. It has not and also it has gotten worse. So I want to get off sprint without the etfs and get on Verizon. Yeah they are going to improve in a couple years but for those of us with EVO 3ds we won't be able to use LTE anyway unrolled our upgrade in 2013! So i might as well try to get canceled to avoid the etf! And go to Verizon wireless which is what sprint wants to become anyway!
[HTC EVO 3D] hitman4274:
So much wrong information in this thread You guys make me laugh.

This all goes back to you signing a contract, who signed it? Did you read it?

Why do you think they have return policies? SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO PAY THE ETF!

and as far as unlimited data goes... Sprint will be keeping it unlimited no matter what... They are capitalizing on the fact that they are the only ones with it, if they give up unlimited everyone will be jumping ship bottom line... And they see this....

And you agree to a contract so they can sell you a phone for cheap, so if unlimited isn't going anywhere... The next thing we will see is higher priced phones... Also one of the reasons they booted the "yearly upgrades"....

Very simple business...

If your using the verison prl more power to you, but your not doing anyone any favors or helping the sprint network get better, and ok our contracts will be up by late 2013, I understand that, however by then just imagine where our phones will be...on some quad core HTC super phone... I understand we all think differently, no issues there... But seems like you guys are just very misinformed and are stealing good service by paying for cheaper service and making things worse on the rest of us. Sprint is aware of what's going on I'm sure.(any Sprint rep dare to reply) do you think verison customers want to think about you taking up their bandwidth.. when you don't pay the same price for the same service? So not only are you taking food off sprints customers, your taking from verisons as well..

Funny how the mood has turned about this. Usually one guy says **** sprint's policies, and 100 bash him. Not so much anymore.
[HTC EVO 3D] zone23:
I'd love to just try this is ##775# supposed to work on the 3D or is it a different code. It doesn't seem to work for me.

edit

never mind i got it.
[HTC EVO 3D] cajones42:
To all you people complaining, remember that sprint doesnt have to cancel contracts. They do that on their own. Sprint could let you pay a couple of bills and break even on the phone im sure.
[HTC EVO 3D] Vandelay007:
I tried this via the 773 epst code - no data at all - when i went back in to try to update it it says not available? I have my phone on wifi trying to update my prl through settings/software... it hung for a while and then gave me error 1012, prl could not be updated - any ideas?

***Edit - Ok, so I rebooted again even after the initial reboot and it updated it to 00001 - before it was showing my old one - so I think perhaps thats why it said unavailable - because it needed another reboot
[HTC EVO 3D] SolsticeZero:
So you signed a contract for service in an area that you already knew had ****ty service, and you were relying on hope to make the signal better? That sounds like your own fault honestly. You have a better chanve of clicking your heels together three times and saying "I wish I had better speeds".

Remember, hope is the first step on the road to disappointment.
[HTC EVO 3D] Sad Panda:
I wanted to post my opinion, and talk about it with you guys, because I truly am interested in other's thoughts, but I realized how long it would be to get into what is wrong with the cell industry, not just sprint but all the carriers.

Bottom line seems to be the favorite phrase of the week, so I will go ahead and jump on that bandwagon too. Bottom line, the cell industry, all of the carriers are guilty of using contracts to keep customers while denying consumers the service they crave, were promised, and deserve. It is common to bait and switch. They use legal jargon in their contracts that would be illegal under contractual law (a contract is void if it breaks contractual law, no matter who signs it, for any reason including but not limited to terms in the agreement not being kept, or the signer not reading it) if not for the loop holes they use with legaleese/jargon.

In any other industry consumers control the market. If you were treated poorly, prices are too high, or the quality of the good or service suck then you consume from a competitor. This either forces the companies to change their ways or they get run out of business. In the cell industry the largest carriers control the consumer, it keeps getting worse because they are allowed to continue acquiring and merging carriers. This is so so wrong.

And bottom line #2; if we are going to use the"you signed a contract, should have read and understood the terms", well fine. Under my plan I clearly have unlimited, free roaming. Sprint and Verizon are one of the many reciprocal roaming agreements. There isn't anything unethical, illegal, or wrong about using my service exactly the way it was written. Sprint allows you to roam when your signal is poor, or nonexistent. I don't roam all the time, I am not stealingbandwidth from anyone. I am using a resource that was given to me by sprint and Verizon through their roaming agreement.
[HTC EVO 3D] SolsticeZero:
Roaming is a resource that is given to you, yes, but it is only intended for use when outside of a Sprint service area:

Technically you are in a breach of contract by not using the Sprint service where available. By using this PRL, you are doing just that, using Verizon service 100% of the time.
[HTC EVO 3D] Sad Panda:
Hey solstice, thanks for your reply. I always enjoy your posts as they are well researched, I think you are a valuable asset to the community, and I am definitely one to be able to change my opinion when presented with new evidence and knowledge.

If I was in fact using Verizon 100 percent of the time you would be right. I don't though. The PRL can be turned on and off quickly whenever you need. When service is nonexistent I use it all the time. When I am at home it isn't used for voice because of the airave, and my wifi. When I am out and about I use it when service is too slow to accomplish anything. However, the contradiction in the agreement is not legal, they only get away with that because the clause states they MAY terminate or limit service. That kind of legal maneuver is what I am talking about. If any other industry did that, customers would run to a competitor. Unfortunately we have very little option on who we can choose, they all are guilty of unethical business practice, and you have to make a compromise to get service, because if you don't you either don't get the service you need, or none at all :(
[HTC EVO 3D] SolsticeZero:
Likewise, Sad Panda, I feel you are a valuable asset to this community, and I understand completely if you're not using it 100% of the time. In fact, an easier method than switching PRL's all the time is to just use the 11115 PRL (which allows 3G roaming on Verizon, but still connects to Sprint when available). With that PRL in place, using Roam Control, you can turn roaming on or off as you please.

Using Verizon's network when you're in a pinch and you're needing faster speeds every once in a while is OK, as roaming to a certain degree is allowed. However, abusing it and using it all the time, especially as a method to get out of your Sprint contract, is just an asshole thing to do.
[HTC EVO 3D] Sad Panda:
Thank you for your kind words, you don't know how much I appreciate that and how nice it is to read. I wasn't aware of the PRL you speak of, that sounds more like what I want to use. Thanks for that info, I'm going to research to get that setup.

I completely agree with you, and I understand your perspective, it is obvious you have strong feelings about the subject. I can definitely respect a man that holds onto his convictionsforming them under reasonable logic, knowledge, and facts. There are some subjects with respect to this community and the technology that I have strong feelings about too.

It would be hard for me to argue against your point, because you are right. Using Verizon's data stream all the time is not ethical, as they pay for their own network, do not receive any money from sprint customers, except under whatever their roaming agreement with sprint states I'm unsure exactly what that contract states, but I am sure it isn't as simple as a service for service trade, I would imagine their is at least some sort of monetary adjustments being done. Furthermore, it is unfair to the costumers of Verizon, and just because a person or entity does some unscrupulous actions that negatively affect you doesn't mean wronging them in return makes the situation right.

On the other hand I am adversely affected, and I am doing what little I can to squeeze a little better service as I was promised when I originated my contract. Part of that poor service could have been avoided had I done research before signing my contract. As an example had I looked at a coverage map before I hastily responded to Tmobile's contract changes. I would have known I was being lied to by the sprint reps, I would have known I would not be getting 4g service in Arizona, and their 3G speed was terrible.
[HTC EVO 3D] peecs121:
So is keeping it on the 11115 ok? I have it set to automatic roaming. Not on Sprint only. Thanks
[HTC EVO 3D] SolsticeZero:
11115 Is a Sprint business PRL that allows full roaming on Verizon's network instead of just 1x roaming. That way, when needed, you can get full roaming speeds. If you happen to be in an area with bad or no Sprint signal, and you find yourself roaming, it will actually work worth a damn. But then when you get back into Sprint coverage, it will automatically flip back over to Sprint.
[HTC EVO 3D] mjcole2003:
thanks. just installed 11115
[HTC EVO 3D] zone23:
You know whats an asshole thing to do? Sell you a $600 dollar(over priced) phone promising 4G on WIMAX then canceling the network and leaving users with NOTHING. While the competition continuously expands their 4G network and speeds. Face it Sprint doesn't have a network I'm surprised I CAN EVEN MAKE A CALL. Some of you must work for Sprint but kissing their ass on XDA isn't going to get you a raise.

Its funny Sprint can cancel their WIMAX but I can't cancel my contract. Seems fair. With the current state of their network I should be allowed to use any carrier I want.
[HTC EVO 3D] SolsticeZero:
No, I don't work for Sprint, but I ****ing hate assholes and hypocrites. Face it, all of you douchebags would be ****ing pissed if Verizon people were eating up our bandwidth for free and causing our speeds to drop.

Don't like it? Then why even sign a contract? Go to Boost or Virgin or some ****.

And yeah, Sprint is leaving us nothing. I mean, they're only switching over to a more advanced 4G network, switching voice and data over to the 800 MHz spectrum to get better building penetration, and doing a complete multi-node reoutfitting of all of their towers, not to mention admitting they're losing money by keeping unlimited data but they do it anyways. Yeah, **** those guys for that stuff.

Besides, it's not like they're turning off Wimax ****ing tomorrow or something. They're getting rid of it in 2013, and considering the average life span of a smart phone now is roughly a year or two, most everybody is going to upgrade anyways. Deal with it.
[HTC EVO 3D] Sad Panda:
Lol. I feel the same way in regards to their 4g. Sprint does have pretty good customer service, and they work hard to make sure you are happy, like sending you a free airrave if you complain about signal at your house. None of that matters if you are lied to about the network though. I switched to sprint because I flew into a rage at the Tmobile store, I switched the same day because of it. Now part of it was my fault for not researching it before hand but the assistant store manager told me he had fast 4g. I didn't find out until I got the service and did the research, that I found out not only would I not have 4g, Arizona barely has any 4g, but I wouldn't be getting any because of the 4g roll out SNAFU. The whole reason I own a smart phone is to use it on fast wireless. I depend on my phone for everything. I don't even have acceptable 3G! It is slower than you would expect the fastest edge network to be
[HTC EVO 3D] zone23:
Well we don't have to worry about that now do we. Verizon users can laugh in the face of Sprint and its ****ty network. Yes we are douche bags for wanting what we are paying for..
[HTC EVO 3D] SolsticeZero:
No, you're douchebags for stealing from another network to avoid an ETF fee, hurting the rest of us.
[HTC EVO 3D] zone23:
I'm sorry how does it affect you again?
[HTC EVO 3D] Raignonem:
First of all I know its my fault for signing the contract. But u can't blame me for wanting improved service. U probably have great coverage where u are that's probably why your so pro-sprint. If I knew it would be THIS horrible I probably would have stuck with metro! Further more if i knew that 4G coverage was non existing and wasn't available indoors I would have turned it down. That was one of the main points the sales person sold me on! But anywho ur correct my bad for signing the contract... But if I've been paying extra for non existing 4G I should be able to cancel my lines with no etfs. Cause at this point the way I see it sprints 4G is a gimmick and a horrible imitation of LTE.
[HTC EVO 3D] SolsticeZero:
By people using the 00001 PRL using Verizon's network all of the time, that's costing Sprint more money, which is why they terminate people. When those people get terminated, they don't need to pay an ETF. Without an ETF, Sprint loses even more money. And how does Sprint get that money back? By taking away services, such as the Premier Gold 1 year upgrades, the unlimited hotspot, etc.

Sprint's 4G (WiMax) was never an imitation of LTE. They never said it was. WiMax is what existed at the time. And WiMax isn't a bad technology at all. Sprint's decision to put it on a frequency that is very prone to interference is the problem. If they had put it on the 800 MHz IDEN band, there would be much more WiMax coverage with a lot fewer drops. And I'm not super PRO-SPRINT like you think. I've been calling them stupid from day one with that 2.6 GHz WiMax. But they're not going to have a chance to improve at all if people keep jumping ship without paying an ETF.
[HTC EVO 3D] tgruendler:
When you switched to Sprint, you have 14 days (used to be 30, not sure when you switched) to find out if the service is good enough for you.
[HTC EVO 3D] SolsticeZero:
Exactly. If you can't figure out if you get bad signal or ****ty service in 14 days, then you have problems.
[HTC EVO 3D] zone23:
So so your under the belief that carriers actually pay full price for our phones. Ya sure they do.

If Sprint was worried about money maybe they should cancel their NASCAR sponsorship and worry about loosing costumers because they don't have a network. I don't stick with Sprint because I like NASCAR.

Now I would say that if I bought my phone and immediately flashed PRL 00001 to purposely get my contract cancel then you are correct in calling everyone names. I have been with Sprint for a very long time and over the last 5 years they have made some very serious errors on their network. I am going to let all of my contracts die out and if Sprint doesn't have a network in place by then, then I will be on Verizon network anyway. Verizon is to have LTE here by the end of the year (thats next month) Sprint? Who know maybe by 2014.

I'm guessing you have 4G were you are. When I signed my contract Sprint was still pushing WIMAX. If you recall they decided to go to LTE after we all signed up. I supposed their is nothing shading in that its just business right?

---------- Post added at 09:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:26 AM ----------

Sprint did not announce the canceling of WIMAX for months after we got out phones. What it boils down to is if your don't have 4G now your not going to have it for a long time to come. I guess your right Sprint never promised 4G when I signed the contract thats my bad. I also never said I would flash PRL 00001 just to get out of my contract. Although I don't think I would cry about it if I did.
[HTC EVO 3D] Raignonem:
I agree with you but as the heavy data user that I am I will still be unsatisfied with this type of service and will continue to try to achieve my "moneys worth" by any means necessary. If i cause anyone here discomfort or I irk you in someway for wanting what is best for the money I am spending then I'm sorry. But charging for Wimax when it is nonexistent in the comfort of my home is in itself IMHO a scam.
[HTC EVO 3D] tgruendler:
I know you are not wanting to start the debate on "the 4G charge" so I will let this one go.
[HTC EVO 3D] etbrandt2:
Fix this, and people will stay. Simple.

Do you honestly believe that I should continue to pay 80 dollars a month (or pay an etf for that matter) so they can turn a profit and maybe (unlikely) improve to the level of service they should already be at? I don't.

And for the record, I'm a longtime customer and I bought my 3D unsubsidized. So go piss up a rope with those arguments.
[HTC EVO 3D] Raignonem:
This is what you people are defending? Lmao.
[HTC EVO 3D] Raignonem:
Listen bro if u think paying $10 extra per line for something you barely can use unless ur outside in a "wimax" area go ahead. Let it go if u want but I stand by my opinions.
[HTC EVO 3D] etbrandt2:
Haha nice. I think that was my dialup back in '95
[HTC EVO 3D] Raignonem:

[HTC EVO 3D] Rob the plumber:
This is pretty good!

(for using a verizon prl)
[HTC EVO 3D] Sad Panda:
No, actually I had 30 days to decide. That's pretty irrelevant though. As I previously said I dumped Tmobile because they are now adopting att policies, and changes that screw me. That means I have one less carrier to choose from. Att, well I just complained about that, that's two less carriers to choose from. I would love to be on Verizon, but I just can't afford the service I require at my current financial situation, as I would pay well over 300 a month for the service myself and my family requires. I just can't pay for it right now. That is three less carriers to choose from. Oh crap, I either go with a prepaid service, pay more for the same service, get on a network that is owned and operated by the same douche canoes I just complained about or I get on the only carrier left that I have to choose from. Ahhhhh ****, that's right the FCC and doj allowed the douche canoes I just complained about to acquire the other carriers and monopolize the industry. Well guess I stick with Sprint.

I hope you think before you speak again, because there might be a reasonable explanation to why someone has to stick with a service that requires a compromise. This is my whole point guys. This industry is terrible!

Edit: The speed that the guy posted complaining to be bad, is literally 10 times faster than what some of us are getting 90% of the time, in multiple locations in our home area. That's not even 3G speed as advertised.
[HTC EVO 3D] SketchyStunts:
ive had better luck with the 40060 PRL. Faster (for me anyways)

I only use it here & there but it gets old being stuck at 1x 90% of the time and pay over $80 per month for this service is BULL****!!!!
[HTC EVO 3D] peecs121:
I agree with you 100% I live in SC and my data speeds are pathetic!!!!! I came to Sprint from T-Mobile for better service and It's terribly slow here. I got 6.5mb with them and now I get .1-.20kb. I can't stand it!!!!!
[HTC EVO 3D] GGerk:
I did the update, but I am still getting slow speeds? Shows 00001 as my prl
[HTC EVO 3D] peecs121:
Must be where you live. I tried it once and my speed tripled
[HTC EVO 3D] Sad Panda:
You also may want to try 1337 and the other, trial and error, see what works best
[HTC EVO 3D] hitman4274:
Lmao, ummmmm.... Yea your not paying to use those verison towers your paying to use the sprint towers you turned your phone off of finding.... So no in this case you can have what your NOT paying for.

And you say that we don't have to worry about verisons customers stealing our bandwidth... Only time will tell.... Let's see where this goes in the next few years, I would bet by 2015-2016 you will see verison customers gettin our prls on their phones .... Just wait...

And you guys would be there to bash them for it...

A lot of ways, you making our network pay a different network for service... sprint will adjust their strategy accordingly. As solstice said... Using the verison prl full time is just wrong on so many levels...

I see my money going to sprint then right back out the door to verison... So your NOT helping their network to get better by making them pay verison... And then want to flame the sprint speeds... What do you expect

So stop stealing food off my plate...

We will see the results of using this prl in the long term it will cause changes to be made... What they are who knows...

But with all the negative changes to the contracts they just made its not gonna get any better...

Ahh man u went there.... Almost all cell phone carriers have a "smart phone fee"

IPhone-iPhone fee

Blackberry- blackberry fee

The list is endless... This is sprints "4g service charge" as you call it... To clear that up

So what your tellin me is I can go steal a race car because I require it to drive fast?

In that 30 days, you didn't notice the service was crappy? If your reporting the speeds your claiming to have this would of been noticable very quickly or no?

I'm with you this industry is in their hands and they do with us as they please... But again do you think this is helping at all? I mean you might get better speeds now but looking at the big picture what do you think it will do, its not just you using verison prls... And talk about bad speeds....

So yes these are the speeds I get in my living room I feel your pain...

That 1.2 is holding my phone to a window in search of better speeds.. that 1.5 is at work where I get the best possible speeds I can get a few blocks from a Sprint tower actually . Yet I won't mess with prl because i don't want to get kicked because i too cant afford a better network so i sit and wait, I Dont screw over my fellow penny pinchers for better data speeds..

Lets not even start with the pics I've seen of 12gb down with 4g for the same service I pay for... It sucks but again doesn't mean I would take something from you.. only time will tell...
