Sounds like a really good deal. Just want to know what the catch is XD

Well, it is Sprint, hehe. There should be details though on the Best Buy mobile site. :thumbup::beer:

I'm definitely doing this. I'm in my last year of school so its time for me to bail on my parent's verizon account they've been nice enough to let me stay on. I just hope law school works for the deal, but I don't see anything that says it wont. Planning on signing up on december 15th when my verizon contract is up and getting the nexus 5.

I wonder if they would let you BYOD. If you could this would be a lot better. Not paying $800 for a GS4 XD

Do you know if Sprint is OK in your area though? Also I think the 2nd year is still on contract but tbh I didn't read the whole ad. It's nice if this works out well though. :beer::thumbup:

Yes, good point. You have to go through Best Buy I think (not sure) so I'm not sure what they require.

It's coverage is pretty good but the LTE is painfully slow XD

I know, I'm a Sprint customer still... as soon as I can pay the etf I want to get on Straight Talk or Go phone. The data speed here is so bad I can't watch YouTube videos.

I wish I could get one of those. T-Mo is really good here but the building penetration is bad and for some reason when I'm in Disneyland the data rivals Sprint speeds even though it's insanely fast at California Adventure

How's ATT there? Do you work at Disneyland? That sounds fun. :beer:

At home T-Mo is actually better than AT&T but at my school I get no service in one of my classes whereas my friend with AT&T gets 3-4 bars of 4G on his phone.
I don't work there but I have a year pass so I'm there often

I've never been there but I imagine it must be fun. :thumbup: Here T-Mobile is probably only a little better than Sprint according to the app I used to compare. ATT is supposed to be the best right where I am (Verizon is 2nd but they haven't enough prepay options). Unfortunately it could be several months until I can afford the Sprint etf but I'm looking forward to it.

Maybe by then Sprint will have better LTE speeds (Sarcasm)

Haha, maybe, but I doubt it. They're taking forever to upgrade their network. I still have a line on Boost Mobile too, so I'll know if they do.

I like how this is just back and forth between us. Ignored thread is ignored XD

I live in Lincoln, NE and have heard sprint is great here and in Omaha (Nebraska's two cities). Where I worry is when I head to rural western nebraska for various reasons it will be awful and I will likely depend on wifi a lot. For $10 a month though, I think that's a reasonable sacrifice.

You can opt out of the contract anytime (for no charge) after 3 months until the end of your 1 year.

My biggest question is what effect on your bill does roaming have? That seems like such a simple question, but something I haven't had to worry about for a long time with verizon.

That's a good question. Did you find anything on Best Buy about the plan? Maybe Sprint or Best Buy CS would know (but then they might pressure you to sign up right away).
