He hasn't been proven wrong. Only you have. Along with:

1) Your preference for lying ...
2) Your misquoting of other posters' messages.
3) Your attempt to impersonate other posters here.
4) Your unmunging of email addresses so spambots can harvest them.
5) Your attempt to answer prior posts made in one ID with different IDs
6) Your attempt to moderate this group on what can or can't be said.
7) Your failure to answer simple questions asked to clarify your position
here, when the truth comes out.
8) Your manufacturing of false facts.
9) Last, but certainly not least, using AT LEAST 102 different IDs here to
avoid kill filters of others.

Well, there is another market that SPCS is going after, and it may be the
pre-pay users, if they pass the credit check. I don't know what the average
monthly minute usage for pre-pay customers are, but I'm guessing that once
they get use to using the phone, they will be using more minutes and have a
higher monthly cellular expense than $35/mo.

When you look at Virgin Mobile's expense, it's $0.25/min. for the first 10
minutes each day, and then $0.10/min there after. They don't offer free N &
W minutes. So even it they only speak 20 minutes a day, and that's not much
.... it's costing $3.50/day, $35 in 10 days, and using only 200 minutes. Add
the rest of the days in a month, and it could get pretty pricy.

At least with this F & F plan, any minutes used during the night won't
charge against their AT minutes and save money.

I did actually think of that, Bob. The pricing structure for F&F is
kind of close to other prepaid plans -- specifically AT&T's GoPhone and
U.S. Cellular's TrackerPack. They are the prepaid options that you pay
by the month instead of buying airtime cards and they give you a set
number of minutes plus free weekends, etc. The plans rate better than
traditional prepay, but still more expensive than traditional postpay.

I just believe that it will harm Sprint in the future by pushing F&F
over F&C instead of giving each equal promotion. The person in the
store (that I referred to in my original post in this thread) was turned
off by the pricing of F&F, but the rep made no attempt to tell him about
F&C... which could have netted Sprint a new customer. If this becomes
widespread (and O/Siris did say that Sprint's plan is to push F&F as
Consumer Plans and F&C as "business" plans)... this could be a real
problem for Sprint when it comes to signing new customers.

Sprint PCS already had a problem before F&F. It lost 1,400,000 customers
last quarter. Its now doubling its advertising budget to try and push
F&F, and likely with SprintPCS now merged back into Sprint, they wont be
as forth coming on their loses in their 10_Ks.

They also need to get a better reputation for their customer service.

Well then, since, by your own standards, Verizon Wireless had 2.04
million customers leave in the same quarter, then they're *really* in
trouble.
