From the faux VoLTE that I get on my iPhone after dropping off WiFi, I’m excited for the VoLTE. Sprint definitely has ALOT on their plate this year. I really want them to meet or exceed their plans.

utiz4321 Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 I hope this is a sign of the progress they are going to make by the fall in deployment and densification because as the network stands now in my area VoLTE would not be a good thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can always turn it off on your device if your area isn't ready yet. It's desperately needed in some markets though (which have the density to support it), as 1x is too congested as a result of thinning. It will be nice to be able to use my phone for calls again when I'm not on an Airave (dedicated 1x carrier), since currently I can't understand what people are saying most of the time because of such heavy compression.Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had HD voice when using wifi calling to talk to other Sprint users for at least a couple of months now. I just figured that it was one of those little things that Sprint enabled for everybody with little fanfare. It's a bit inconsistent for me though. Most times it works, other times it doesn't even when calling the same number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nexgencpu Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 I have noticed wifi calling to calling plus in HD and a marked improvement in calling plus stability (could just be placebo). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if that service is being deprecated. I haven't heard much on the Tidal situation. What is Sprint TV? Is it similar to Go90? I remember back around 2005-2006-ish there were some tv packages Sprint had I didn't understand exactly what they were for, and if I'm recalling correctly Sprint's internet packages were a bit of a mess back then. I was in a few stores alot during that time talking with store staff who let me use their info helping people on HowardForums get into the SERO program. Yet, even the staff weren't aware fully of the differences between the internet plans back then, and as I was looking for service ahead of its time and needed to know exactly what was being offered to avoid the overage mess Verizon caused me back then, I didn't end up switching to Sprint. However, I still supported them by helping with the SERO referrals for awhile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
