Sprint Launches Best Deal in Data….. Yeah Right.

Leave a comment

Sprint’s new CEO made waves when they were talking about new plans that would be very low and make everyone think before choosing another carrier….. Yeah about that.

So Sprint is releasing some new plans, And they have, But look making statements like “We’re going to make everyone think before choosing someone else” Is a big statement and I would not have led with this plan, Just my opinion. Sprint launches a new Family Share plan that allows you to have 10 lines for only $100.00 (Through 2015 then it will ADD 15.00 per line or 150.00 if you have 10) Sounds like a good deal on its face. 20GB of data with 2GB per line extra. So possibly 40GB of data on the whole account.

BUT HERE IS THE CATCH, You have to port your number in from someone else to be eligible for the discount…. Not a good move in my opinion.

And Sprint if you wanted to offer something compelling, You should have made the data Unlimited, I am sorry but people only go to sprint if at all now because of the Unlimited Data.
This is actually worse than the framily plan in my opinion for the loss of unlimited data.

I have included the plan image below so you can see the Koolaide Sprint is serving.

Now look I am a NEW sprint customer, I moved my business lines from Verizon to Sprint last week, So far things have been good, Either on par or better than Verizon in places.

I think If sprint wanted to make a splash here they should have led with the $50.00 Unlimited Everything plan, And or launch the 10 Lines 100.00 promotion but make the data unlimited. That would have surely made people think.

But sprint trying to do what AT&T and Verizon do at a lower cost is just not a good look, And in fact this should embarrass the new CEO and Corporate Staff that has come in.

Sprint fans and staff will say this is a big splash…. But if you want people to think you are serious about change….. Like T-Mobile was. Then this sadly is not it.
I still have hope that the new plans you announce this week for unlimited users are good, But leading with this plan set….. Is a fail.

OnePlus Ladies First? That’s Bullshit!: http://youtu.be/3SpAJZolpmo

In the episode of Thats Bullshit listed above we talk about how OnePlus has yet again stepped in a big pile. And how this may affect oppo.

We also send a actual teabag OnePlus way.

Let me know what you think in the comments.
In my opinion the entire executive, marketing, and support staff should be fired.
Women should share this and get the word out on this Bullshit.

3 Comments

In the images below supposedly are of the iPhone 6 and the device itself.

The only problem with the images here are the fact that the Health Application is missing. Its not on this box at all.

Im not saying the images are fake, im saying take them for what they are. More coverage on this later today.

UPDATE** Softbank makes ridiculous offer for T-Mobile CEO

4 Comments

image

UPDATE***
WSJ reports Sprint to name Claure as CEO. Claure is the founder of wireless company Brightstar, and joined Sprint’s board back in January.

News broke today via the WSJ that the deal for T-Mobile wouldn’t happen.

We also learn that Dan Hesse time as the captain of the ship over at Sprint is also over as he will be stepping down.

The crazy news of the day is TMobile customers may still end up being mad as hell. As Softbank has reportedly made a ridiculous offer for the maverick T-Mobile CEO.
(There is also a shocking replacement if that would fall through)
Nothing specific was stated from the source who is a well known investor and holder of Sprint.
But the source stated quote “They are definitely willing to overpay, This guy is Jack Welch of our time”

Pretty strong words. Stay tuned as we will update this story the moment we get more info. And more info is coming tonight after a board phone call.

@evleaks fund is live (Medical support fund for Evan)

1 Comment

Thanks to Evan ‘@Evleaks’ Blass tech fans have gotten an early look at some high-profile smartphones and tablets, usually months before they’re officially announced.
Now, after two years of tweets, the tech journalist turned full-time leak artist has announced he’s giving it up.

Evan Blass, who earned a reputation for putting out legit leaks, says he’s quitting because leaking photos and spec sheets on Twitter had proved near impossible to monetise.
He told The Next Web he had tried sponsored tweets, accepted donations and pushing folks towards his website, but found users had little incentive to visit after seeing his pics on Twitter and across the web.
Retirement

So, as a result, Evleaks, who was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis a decade ago, is Retiring.
I call on all in this Tech Community who have used images from @EVLEAKS and or used his content for the last to years to build your tech sites and give us all something to write about to get the word out.
This indiegogo campaign will help Evan get the proper medical care and treatment he needs to return to the best health possible and possibly one day make a return to this tech community.

You can help by sharing the campaign, Donating to the campaign, or just getting the word out.
Thank you.

OnePlus customers go to Change.org out of frustration

Leave a comment

image

It looks as if the OnePlus saga has taken a new twist by making the government aware of the issue.

We have seen customers file complaints with the FTC and now to see this change.org petition is really not a good look for the company OnePlus.

What do you think about this recent development?
And do you think the issue is getting better or worse?
Let me know in the comments.

On another note we have purchased a OnePlus device directly through the company….. Why you may ask. 1.) people said because we purchased ours from ebay we havent had the real OnePlus experience.
2.) The device we purchased wasnt directly from oneplus.

Ok fair points on both.
And no the company had NO Idea we purchased the device and we had a family member purchase it so that OnePlus doesnt know who which order it is so they make sure its a good phone. We are getting one luck of the draw like anyone else and will report on the device as soon as it comes in which should be end of this week or beginning of next. Cant say what process the order is in. I dont want to tip our hand to OnePlus.

If the device is good with no issues I will say so. If not… I will also say so.
Then there is no debate. Ill go through RMA is bad and… Will video each process. And the public will see either good or bad. Its that simple.

See you soon.

Twitter its a thing in 2014. While OnePlus continues to try and censor its forum members, they have started to take to twitter and have posted screen shots of PayPal disputes and defective phones.

OnePlus has been answering to other press outlets lately claiming they would never charge for a warranty return, Yet images on twitter today of emails from OnePlus doing exactly that have surfaced.
Also on twitter are more screenshots of PayPal disputes as people are realizing they are not getting help from support and want their money back.

Here are some images from the past day.
Make sure to follow us on twitter @tktechnews as TK will post each image and retweet each image or issue you are having.
Censorship in 2014 is much harder with social media.

Could this be the end of OnePlus

48 Comments

Reports are coming in of Hundreds of people filling PayPal disputes against oneplus for the yellow band issue.
And in one case we received a conversation with a customer and PayPal in which PayPal assures the customer they will get a refund because quote “We have placed a hold against these funds”

If PayPal has frozen the funds from OnePlus it could be the end of that company. Its one thing to lose money in a recall etc for bad devices and a whole other issues to have your merchant freeze funds.

We will keep updating this story as more info comes in, But right now its really not looking good for OnePlus.

Have you filed a PayPal dispute? Let us know in the comments below and whether you got your money back.
