While we wait for Legere’s response to Claure-which is sure to come-feel free to sit back and grab some popcorn. You trick people to believe that they have a 15-dollar iPhone lease payment when it’s not true.

Chief Executive Officer John Legere, the self-styled rebel who has garnered 1.5 million Twitter followers for his snarky posts, got some blowback on the social-media site from a rival CEO.
“It’s all a fake show”, Claure tweeted. The resulting backlash induced Sprint later on Tuesday to withdraw the video throttling policy as company CEO Marcelo Claure informed the public: “we heard you loud and clear”. But another Tuesday tweet accused Sprint of “reverting back to the old-school carrier way”. “So it’s really “#Tmobilelikehell”.
Legere then linked to a negative story about Sprint’s new cell-phone plans.
It remains to be seen just how many more tweets will be sent between the two CEOs. Both Sprint and T-Mobile have introduced new packages that are both lucrative and offer reasonable advantages as compared to their previous services.
He was live broadcasting from a beach in The Hamptons, New York, in which he teased that next week is going to be “fantastic” and T-Mobile is “coming out with something great next week”. T-Mobile and Sprint could be on point to steal market share from AT&T and Verizon in the next five years, according to a report from Strategy Analytics Inc.
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) accepted a plea for setting aside 30MHz but last week chairman Tom Wheeler rebuffed a T-Mobile U.S. request to expand that pool of reserved frequencies beyond 30MHz. Undone by their own tweet, how sad.
