Sprint wants your Soul! Introduces Unlimited EVERYTHING for Life!

Sprint wants your soul
Sprint wants your soul

It’s been a busy week for the folks over at Sprint. Not only did the carrier rebrand itself as the Sprint Corporation, and complete its buyout deal with SoftBank, but today it announced two new rate plans that include unlimited talk, text and data.

While the unlimited data itself is notable—few carriers still offer this—the real highlight of the plans is the lifetime guarantee. That’s right, in a world where the rules seem to change every other year, Sprint is promising unlimited everything, forever

From the press release:

“Sprint (NYSE: S), the long-time leader in offering unlimited wireless services, is launching The Sprint Unlimited GuaranteeSM. The Sprint Unlimited Guarantee guarantees customers unlimited talk (calls to any wireline or mobile phone), text and data while on the Sprint network, for the life of the line of service. This guarantee is applicable to both new and existing customers who sign up for Sprint’s new Unlimited, My Way plan or My All-in plan. These plans and The Sprint Unlimited Guarantee are available starting July 12.”

With the new My Way plan, Sprint customers can get unlimited talk, text and data for as low as $80 per month. And they can add a line to that for an additional $40 per month (not including data), two lines for $30 extra per month, or three lines for $20.

With the My All-in plan, customers get everything listed above, as well as hotspot functionality with a 5GB monthly data allowance. If you don’t need 5GB, you can add the hotspot feature a la carte to the My Way plan for $10 a month for 1GB.

According to Sprint, its customers will save $240 per year over Verizon customers, and $120 per year over AT&T and T-Mobile with these new plans. And as aforementioned, they’ll be available—with the lifetime guarantee—starting July 12.

It’s actually a very interesting time to be a wireless subscriber in the US. Sprint’s announcement comes hot on the heels of T-Mobile’s big ‘Jump’ promo, which will let customers upgrade their devices up to twice a year. Verizon, AT&T, your move guys.

 

Are you planning to sell your soul to sprint?

Lets you know where your government stands.                  #bartstrike is getting heated. #california governor is calling #oliviapope to fix it! He is bringing in top 2 mediators to get this done.       And #yahoo once again proves why #googleIO is important and why #google is Google! They buy another #startup today. The new yahoo mantra “we don’t hv to #innovate we can just buy companies that do”. So like a bit of #oldschool #SiliconValley between #apple and #microsoft . #stevejobs wanted to innovate and change the world while #billgates want to buy it, repackage it and pass it off as #newtech Follow me on #twitter for links to all the action, plus we can chat over there! #sf #nerd #programmer #science #teslamotors #Teslacoil

#ThatTechGirl’s Bart Strike Survival Guide in Silicon Valley

Spot #ThatTechGirl on Bart around San Francisco

All of my friends and followers know I absolutely LOVE BART and I am deeply sadden that they couldn’t avoid a strike. I have appeared on air supporting BART riders with the Chairman of the board, I actually have an instagram game where bay area riders can spot me and be featured on my account. This is a sad day for #ThatTechGirl and Bart. I have gathered a few things together and here ya go!

Below you will find a basic survival guide for life in Silicon Valley until they come to their senses.

  • FIRST CALL TO ACTION: Follow @SFBART on Twitter and set them to direct message you and alert you with updates.
  • Transit officials are urging anyone who can to telecommute, ride a bike, or shift work schedules to of communte
  • BART is offering limited free shuttle servicefrom the El Cerrito del Norte, Walnut Creek, Dublin/Pleasanton and Fremont stations to San Francisco’s Transbay Terminal from 5 to 9 a.m., and back from 3 to 7 p.m. Tickets are available on a first-come, first-served basis, and only about 2,000 to 4,000 people would be able to make it on each day, according to BART’s strike information page
  • Take  advantage of free parking at any BART station or Park & Ride lot for carpooling purposes.  map of casual carpool pickup locations.

TRANSITS

  • AC Transit: Bus Service Between East Bay And San Francisco
  • Golden Gate Transit:Accessing San Francisco from the East Bay via Marin County.The Golden Gate Bridge District has said that North Bay ferries are already operating at capacity, and that they should not be used as a BART alternative for people traveling from the East Bay to San Francisco and vice versa. Instead, officials urge  anyone taking transportation through Marin county to consider bus service due to already heavy traffic on the Golden Gate Bridge. For more information on bus routes, visitthe Golden Gate Transit information page regarding the strike.
  • Caltrain and SamTrans: Peninsula Alternatives To BART
  • Officials are warning riders to expect delays on Caltrain due to a jump in ridership and say equipment and personnel constraints will likely prevent much in the way of additional service. SamTrans plans to offer temporary shuttle service in several locations around regular BART stops.
  • SF Muni: San Francisco bus and light rail service
  • The Municipal Transit Agency is referring riders to 511.org for complete information, but has indicated that routes along the BART corridor will be prioritized during a stoppage, including the 14 Mission, 49 Van Ness, J-Church and N-Judah lines. The system will also deploy fare inspectors to help regular BART commuters find their way via Muni.
  • San Francisco Bay Ferry:  San Francisco Bay Ferries are expected to add additional boats, potentially doubling capacity, servicing Oakland, San Francisco, Alameda, Alameda Harbor Bay and Vallejo. More information is available on the system’s website. The City of Alameda says service will be offered directly from Alameda to San Francisco, without stopping in Oakland. Main Street departures will take place every 45 minuets, while Harbor Bay boats will leave every 30 minutes.
  • The Santa Clara Valley Transportation authority has not released a contingency plan on their website
  • Capitol Corridor Bus Service: East Bay Train Commuting

WHEN IN DOUBT CALL 511 OR 511.ORG

Zuck “Likes” Prop 8 in San Francisco

At the top of Friday so many people were asking me “What are you doing this weekend”?! That is how every conversation started after word from Supreme Court on Friday at 4pm

It was like Juneteenth hit San Francisco! (If you are a Texan or Southerner you get it)

Well not quite that exciting but it was CRAZY in The Bay Area all weekend. You couldn’t walk 10 feet without seeing someone in a tutu or a wedding dress or tuxedo. It was just excitement everywhere! I am beginning to think people were marrying random people just to be a part of the festivities!

And there was no way the technology capitol of the world wasn’t going to chime in!

Mark Zuckerberg, of Facebook fame, lead the way to “Like” the decision on Prop 8. Prop 8 allows gays to legally marry in the state of California. He and his team of Facebook investigators printed special shirts for the occasion and joined thousands in the historic pride parade in San Francisco. #ThatTechGirl
