Still Fighting AT&T and Verizon, Sprint and T-Mobile CEOs Fight Each Other on Twitter

At times, the heads of Sprint and T-Mobile are united by their competition against two larger rivals with way more market share and resources.

Then sometimes, Marcelo Claure and John Legere really just get on each other’s nerves.

“I am so tired of your Uncarrier bullshit when you are worse than the other two carriers together,” Claure said in a tweet to Legere Thursday, which took T-Mobile to task over its Jump On Demand program, which Claure called a “cheap misleading lease.” Claure said that T-Mobile makes much of the fact that customers can upgrade up to three times a year, but doesn’t highlight the fact that the monthly cost can go up when they do.

Claure’s tweet came in response to one from Legere which criticized Sprint’s latest plan, known as All-In.

The new promotion, as noted by Re/code, actually represents a higher price for iPhone customers than a prior offer and doesn’t necessarily make customers’ bills any clearer.

It’s not the first Twitter fight between the two, though at times they have also praised one another in their efforts to take on what both call the AT&T-Verizon duopoly.

Legere is known for picking fights on Twitter, having launched volleys against not only wireless rivals, but Donald Trump as well.

Will you support Vox’s explanatory journalism?

Most news outlets make their money through advertising or subscriptions. But when it comes to what we’re trying to do at Vox, there are a couple of big issues with relying on ads and subscriptions to keep the lights on:

First, advertising dollars go up and down with the economy. We often only know a few months out what our advertising revenue will be, which makes it hard to plan ahead.

Second, we’re not in the subscriptions business. Vox is here to help everyone understand the complex issues shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. And we can’t do that if we have a paywall.

So even though advertising is still our biggest source of revenue, we also seek grants and reader support. (And no matter how our work is funded, we have strict guidelines on editorial independence.)

If you also believe that everyone deserves access to trusted high-quality information, will you make a gift to Vox today? Any amount helps.
