I just discovered this site yesterday and already I've learned a lot more than I ever thought I would about Network Vision!!

 

I worked for Nextel for 7 years doing IT for all of their Wisconsin locations (until Sprint came along)  :td:

 

But not one to hold a grudge, I still have a Sprint phone and I got a really nice early retirement package in any event.  I knew iDEN backwards and forewards but now I'm learning about CDMA and, of course, Network VIsion.  It sure is a different animal!!

 

Even though I still have a lowly LG Optimus S, when it's time for an upgrade early next year I'll probably spring for a 4GLTE phone since by then the network in my area will actually support it.

Hee hee!  Thanks for all the comments especially the one about the screen name.  I use it on most blogs since Thomas really IS my name and my last name begins with M!!  I hope to have a good time here learning things about NV and maybe even contributing a few things too...

 

Now I have to come up with an appropriate avatar.

      I think the push for them is adding US Mobile as a MVNO with a priority data plan.  Ultimately, making people more aware of priority would allow them (and other carriers) to differentiate themselves from MVNOs like Consumer Cellular that advertise the same coverage. n77 has dramatically reduced the need for priority service at Verizon where the mere functioning of your phone was in jeopardy a couple of years ago if you had a low priority plan like Red Pocket. Only have heard of problems with T-Mobile in parts of Los Angeles. AT&T fell in between. All had issues at large concerts and festivals, or sporting events if your carrier has no on-site rights. Edit: Dishes native 5g network has different issues: not enough sites, limited bandwidth. Higher priority would help a few. Truth is they can push phones to AT&T or T-Mobile.

      Tracfone AT&T sims went from QCI 8 to 9 as well a couple years ago. I'm pretty neutral towards AT&T's turbo feature here, the only bad taste left was for those who had unadvertised QCI 7 a couple months ago moved down to 8. In my eyes it would have been a lot better for AT&T to include turbo in those Premium/Elite plans for free to keep them at QCI 7, while also introducing this turbo add on option for any other plans or devices. As it stands now only a handful of plans can add it, and only if you're using a device on a random list of devices AT&T considers to be 5G smartphones.

      My Red Pocket AT&T GSMA account was dropped to QCI 9 about a year ago.  Most recently 8 for the last few years prior.  Voice remains at 5.

      https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2024/05/att-announces-7-monthly-add-on-fee-for-turbo-5g-speeds/ Hopefully we don't ever see T-Mobile do something like this. Based on how I was treated with my Credit Limit, it's definitely not the same company it was before the merger, and it's entirely possible they'd try it.
