Sprint, America’s third-largest carrier, has just announced its Q4 2013 earnings revealing marginal growth thanks to its quickly-expanding 4G LTE networks around the country. The carrier added a total of 682,000 customers during the last three months of 2013 alone.
The Sprint MVNO operator, Ting, has just announced that it is now selling the Nexus 5 on its own website, but, strangely, it doesn’t want to you to buy it from its online store. Instead the carrier would prefer if you went to Google itself and purchased it directly from the Play Store for $349 and, then, popped a $10 pre-paid Ting SIM card into the handset upon its arrival.
Sprint and T-Mobile could be rethinking a possible, according to sources close to the two companies who have been speaking to The Wall Street Journal. SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son is reportedly interested in the deal as well — but not if it is unlikely to be approved.
HTC’s Android 4.4 KitKat update for its flagship One has already rolled out in many markets all around the world — including the U.S. — but in typical Verizon fashion, the carrier is keeping its customers waiting. If you’re one of them, you’ll be pleased to know that it will be arriving “shortly.”
Earlier today, Sprint announced that it has added another six new Android-powered smartphones to its lineup of PTT service compatible handsets which enables customers to have fast one-to-one conversations via 3G when they open up the Sprint Direct Connect Now App – which is available to download from the Google play store.
