Take my advice:  Sprint, don't walk.

I don't know, that sounds like a lot of work.

There is probably a 50-50 chance I will be selling my house in the spring/summer of 2016.  So, I want this merger thing to get over with ASAP if it's going to happen.

Got it now.  I'm easily confused.  Half the campus isn't Sprint already.  I bet if it happens t mobile would come to the campus,  it'd be hard to sell the campus though if Sprint moved to Washington.

I don't really drive around near my house that much, so that won't matter. 

I've decided to root for the  government to shut this merger down.

It could happen!  It's within the area of candidates we have outlined.

Check out some articles on fierce wireless or Yahoo finance to see what the industry analysts say.  That's probably saying too much.

i scanned a couple wikipedia articles

its probably all you'll get out of me.

sprint is the big company hemorrhaging money like an ebola patient. t-mo is the little company hauling in the cash.

so maybe sprint buys t-mo then adopts their brand and business model and crap.

not really a business tycoon shark guy.

I bet Johnson County Community College takes over the Sprint Campus and goes 4 year.  I will sell my house to a would-be start-up frat.

I live on the edge of 4G coverage. When I'm home and give a crap about calls, I force my phone to 2G coverage. Might help your situation.

Also, do you and granny have same service provider?

my phone is mumped  :frown:  it won't make any sounds and won't connect calls.  took the battery out and restarted it and it said it was dec 31st.  did a factory reset and it gave the correct time/date, but still wouldn't connect calls or make any sound.

it's my only alarm clock and i have to get up earlier than usual tomorrow  :runaway:

Man I never read this thread.  1)  If Sprint/T-Mobile merge, you can bet your ass HQ will be moved to WA.  The Japanese are already tired of flying to Kansas.

2)  I just kinda took a leap of faith and ported my personal number over to Google Voice, and will just do call forwarding to my work phone so now I only carry around one phone.  #onephone #onechant
