Sprint's plan to bid on T-Mobile closer to fruition

article published on 1 May, 2014

Sprint, who has been rumored to be preparing a bid for rival T-Mobile, is closer to doing so after meeting with banks in order to make debt arrangements. CFO Joe Euteneuer and Treasurer Greg Block met with as many as six banks to structure the financing of the bid, which could be as high as $40 billion.

If Sprint is losing money, why would T-mobile(who I use) want to have them buy them out; so they can lose all their hard earned customers? Or does T-mobile just know that it won't go through and like AT&T, they will just have to pay for a lost cause?

Hopefully. I love T-Mobile (have had for a decade) and Sprint just flat out sucks.

Sprint is garbage in every respect. T-Mobile is great because they are smaller. You can even speak to a live human after only 3 or 4 key presses. If Sprint buys them, I'm going back to the two-can method.

Plus what makes no sense is that they operate on different systems - T-Mobile on GSM and Sprint on CDMA. That will be a nightmare that will take years to combine.

Duplication happen when we post first & we don't see the post, then we post again.
My advice:
Post 1 time only, then refresh.

Back on topic:
No love for the very ugly duck Sprint !

Been with T-Mobile for almost 9 years, they have given me some very good deals, and have been very helpful whenever I had issues with either coverage or their data network, including discounting my data plan for an entire month. I have had nothing but good things from them while I have been a loyal customer.

Sprint.....they can go and suck on a few things that if I post here, may either be edited or may get me a suspension!
