Sprint will have to deal with more Families and Children

Do you think sprint will be able to do it? Deal with families about their brand new Disney Mobile plans. Well, maybe Disney will realize that Sprint Sucks when it comes to service and just use them for their towers.

You heard it correct Disney Mobile will be launched in the US next year using the Sprint PCS network. Disney is reported to be offering handsets and entertainment content based on Disney’s line of products and entertainment geared at families.

This means that the American Iconic company of Disney will be joining forces with what most people who deal with them call the worst customer service available today. I’m sure back in the early 1800’s it was hard to get realiable or quick service from the traveling horseshoeman, but in this day and age, Sprint takes the case as the worst.

I can only imagine a family getting a great sprint phone for their child only to find out that the wonderful entertainment that was suppossed to keep their children busy and keep them safe and connected doesn’t actually come with any of those features. (Or something to that tune)

Good luck Disney!

    Does Sprint Really Know What Women Want?

    Sprint Recently released it’s findings from surveys conducted about female cell phone usage. The released the findings to the public which may or may not be conclusive findings about what wireless females really want out of their phones and plans.

    How about service, didn’t see that one on there. Must not have had a question about that. Sprint had this to say about you wireless women.

    “The findings show that 89 percent of female wireless-phone subscribers say their wireless phone is a time-saver and more than 50 percent make at least half of their calls from their wireless phone”

    and…

    “The survey findings show that when compared to men, women are more
    likely to want their phone within reach 24 hours a day (37 percent to
    30 percent). Communicating with family beyond just making phone calls
    is certainly one reason: seventy percent of woman indicate they text
    message with family members, and 61 percent indicate they take pictures
    of their family with a camera phone.”

    Although I’m not an expert in the field of wireless usage, might this be a stunt to tell women what they should want??? Anyway, found the results interesting and you can see more about them atSprint

    New Superior Visual Quality Sanyo A640

    Sanyo and Sprint just announced another wonderful edition to their Sprint PCS Vision phone collection today. The Sanyo A640.

    The Sanyo A640 is supposed to provide customers with “Superior Visual Quality.” There are new features to the backlit displays which include user changeable interfaces on the display that one can change between a black and white menu. Great.

    The camera has a digital zoom and a timer for those pictures you really want to take on the small cheap imager that is your phone. It also has a personal organizer that if like other Sanyo personal organizer options is quite lacking.

    Although the display options would be nice to play with it doesn’t sound like the Sanyo A640 is the superior visual wave of the future.

    Parents Can have Control over Their Childrens Phones

    Sprint PCS announced a phone today together with Sanyo that allows parents to have control over their children’s wireless phone usage. Although I am still torn over whether or not children should or need a phone I can see both sides of the coin and this phone may allow those cell phones to be used for what they were intended for, getting in contact with your children.

    The phone is a full featured Sprint PCS Vision phone that enables the parent to easily manage whom the child calls and who can call the child. All the parent has to do is input the numbers the child can call and the numbers the child can receive calls from and press a single parent control button.

    Parents can also lock Sprint PCS features like vision and others to keep the children from racking up overages and other charges. (Although I’m sure Sprint will find some way to keep those charges racking up.)

    This is a great way to keep parents connected with their kids while keeping their phone usage in check.

    One problem we can think of that the phone may have is what if the childs parents are calling from a number that isn’t registered and the call is an emergency then we hope the phone has some way that an incoming call can input a password to bypass the parental control. But then again who knows anyones phone number any more.

    Will Ferrell will be Featured in Sprint Commercials

    Will Ferrell, star comedian of the new NASCAR themed movie “Talladega Nights” will be featured in several new Sprint Commercials as reported by Sprint.com’s news release section in Will Ferrell Stars in Sprint Commercials and Exclusive Mobile Video Shorts.

    Will Ferrell is by far one of the funniest people in movies right now and although I am a big fan of Will, I am not a big fan of Sprint so I am a bit at a crossroads with liking this announcement. However, I did really like the commercial about the theft protection where the two guys were in the locker room and the one dude chucked his cell phone at the other guy. Pretty funny stuff.

    So I guess I am partial to some of their commercials, although any commercials discussing their customer support require me to turn the channel immediately.

    Sprint said they would be releasing the commercials soon so I’ll make sure to youtube them and post them here as soon as they arrive.

    Just like sprint to suck in their customer support and then get some big movie star funny guy to try and bring in more customers. Spend some of that money you are no doubt spending on stars and spend it on giving back to the customers you already have. I don’t know how many times I can say that here.

    Send a Text Message From Your Web Browser

    Want to avoid the 10 cent charge of sending a text message from your Sprint phone? If you feel like you’re missing out on this whole new technological wonderness called text messaging that everyone in America seems to be engaging in under the age of 25 then you’re in luck.

    You can forgo all those ridiculous charges that Sprint charges you for using their sprint services over and above your phone service contract by heading over to your browser and visiting sprintusers.com and their text messaging application.

    All you need to do is put in the phone number of the person you want to text message, then put in your phone number, and then put in your message. You can use it to text message any other service, the only problem is you need to know what service the person you are texting has. That can be a drawback if you don’t hangout with the person much. But if that’s the case maybe you should call them and catch up.
