Advisors' Opinion:- [By Matt Thalman]
Earlier this week, news broke that Sprint (NYSE: S ) �was going to offer an option for customers to upgrade their phones on a yearly basis, as opposed to the standard two-year cycle. Today, shares of AT&T (NYSE: T ) and Verizon (NYSE: VZ ) moved lower by 1.42% and 1.5%, respectively. One reason is that Sprint officially announced the change today, and made a point to indicate that the service plan that will accompany the early upgrade option will be much cheaper than comparable plans that AT&T and Verizon currently offer.

Speaking of the iPhone, T-Mobile has sold roughly 500,000 so far in a little less than a month. Not a bad start considering that translates into a quarterly run rate of about 1.5 million, which is how many iPhones than larger rival Sprint Nextel (NYSE: S ) sold during the first quarter.

Nearest Resistance: $6.80
Nearest Support: $5.60
Catalyst: EarningsSprint (S) is getting a 6% shot in the arm this afternoon, following earnings numbers that forecast a return to subscriber growth after losing names for the last seven months straight. Despite taking a big hit from winding down its Nextel unit during the quarter, Sprint is looking stronger now that Japan's Softbank owns 78% of shares. Wall Street's reaction to the earnings release is evidence of that.
From a technical standpoint, there are probably more questions than answers on Sprint's chart. Shares are currently sitting in between resistance at $6.80 and support down at $5.60. Despite today's big boost, shares are still trading in the middle of that range. Until Sprint can resolve a direction, I'd recommend staying away.

The telecom market is in a state of upheaval right now. The two-player dominance of AT&T and Verizon is being challenged as smaller players combine to pose a new threat. Sprint-Nextel (NYSE: S ) recently landed a massive cash investment from Japanese network Softbank, and it also picked up data networking specialist Clearwire. T-Mobile US (NYSE: TMUS ) merged with prepaid expert MetroPCS and is using Metro's network assets to improve its own high-speed services. Combined, T-Mobile and Sprint nearly add up to a third 100-million subscriber Rolodex in the same class as Verizon and AT&T.
