John Legere will always love you.
If you're clawing, chaining your heart in vain at your current cellular carrier, T-Mobile (NYSE:TMUS) suggests you jump, never asking why.
Will you fall under CEO John Legere's spell?
In IT Blogwatch, bloggers just walk away. Not to mention:
Your humble blogwatcher curated these bloggy bits for your entertainment.
Jon Brodkin can't live a lie:
T-Mobile US CEO John Legere has had an eventful week at [CES] in Las Vegas. ... He got on stage...and he unleashed a stream of curses and insults at competitors.
...
Family plans are "total horse****...a complete life sentence," Legere said. "Sprint is a pile of spectrum waiting to be turned into a capability. ... Their network is completely horrible." ... AT&T, meanwhile, is a "total source of amusement for me." ... Holding a can of Red Bull [he] said he plans to send a cease and desist letter to AT&T "to stop their advertising that say they're the fastest."
...
"This industry blows. It's just broken." MORE
Chuong Nguyen runs for his life:
With UnCarrier 4.0, T-Mobile will be paying customers money in an effort to make it more affordable to switch. ... “We’re giving families a ‘Get Out of Jail Free Card,’ said John Legere.
...
T-Mobile US says it will pay potential customers up to $650 to switch. ... You’ll get up to $350...to put towards your early termination fees...to get out of your contract(s). ... T-Mobile will give you up to an additional $300 to trade-in...phones.
...
This is T-Mobile’s [most] aggressive move to date. MORE
So Ilya Grigorik puts him high up in the sky:
Legere doesn't dress it up. Refreshing. MORE
But Kevin Allen Moore leaves us crashing in a blazing fall:
Well with AT&T’s new mobile share value plan, off contract can make sense. They give you a $15 discount per smartphone line if you are not on contract (either continuing to use your now-paid-for phone you originally got on contract, a phone you bring from somewhere else, or an off-contract phone you buy from AT&T). $15 * 24 = $360. That number makes some sense as contract phones that cost $200 with a 2 year agreement tend to be in the $560 ballpark off contract.
But the math doesn’t always work out exactly like that. Another example is a phone that is $0 on contract. Look at the Lumia 520. You can get those for well under $50. Signing a contract would never make sense with that phone. Plus, it’s nice not to be on contract anyway if you wanted to switch. MORE
And Finally...
FAIL! She gets the words to Wrecking Ball wrong
