kyle_4thousand Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Woohoo! I did a Google search in curiosity of Sprint possibly taking over the old USCC space on my town's water tower, and lo and behold I find some village board minutes telling me exactly what I wanted to see! The motion was granted in August but I have not yet noticed any work beginning. I hope they start soon, because as of today the existing USCC antennas are still present. Edit: I just drove by the water tower and noticed the old USCC equipment shelter appears to have been removed. Progress!! [emoji2] 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gusherb Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Just an update. Posts on sprints FB seem to indicate this is a regional outage not just Chicago area. Outside of IL and IN people in Iowa, Wisconsin and Ohio are complaining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tongboy Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Yeah, it's out area wide. http://abc7chicago.com/news/sprint-outage-affecting-chicago-surrounding-suburbs/573226/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cubbiefan82 Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 I am glad to have wi-fi calling, the outage isn't affecting me. But this does suck, I am guessing a msc issue? Yet I thought they had a back up system in place? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tongboy Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Strange. I just tried it and it worked. It wouldn't surprise me though if the wifi calling service is quite busy now. Edit: missed your most recent post. My bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommym65 Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 I am visiting family near Philadelphia, and had just bought 2 in-laws shiny new Sprint iPhones. Naturally, tonight, to teach them how to use the new phones, I tried calling my and my wife's phones, which are provisioned in area 815. Total failure. We could call them FROM our phones, but they could not call us. All 4 phones were in the same room. Oh, crud, I am thinking, I just made a huge $900 flub. Bad words were said. I tried reloading PRLs, rebooting, calling Sprint (got a recording saying there was a known issue), etc., etc. Then, magically, they began calling perfectly. Then, I started seeing posts about the outage. My in-laws now question my sanity. [Well, so do I, but that belongs in another thread.] 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
