I left Sprint for T-Mobile at least 10 years ago, and am still so glad I did. If T-Mobile improves Sprint, And if Sprint doesn't destroy or devalue T-Mobile, Then it's a good move by JohnLegere

As long as they contract with the US that ALL Americans who use their service will receive DECREASING bills every year, and INCREASING SERVICE. If not, then the merger should not be allowed and Sprint and T-Mobile should be broken INTO SMALL ENTITIES. GOP POTUS

Please don’t do it

It would be a nightmare
