lynyrd65 Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 The good news is US Cellular is rolling out LTE in the area so in the future if you have a band 12 device you might roam onto their network deep indoors for free. There aren't any sprint band 12 devices yet. I bet the iphone 6 will be one of the first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael73072 Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 I think a tower next to my house is starting to have eCSFB issues, but I will have to do some more investigating. This is around 24th SE and HWY 9. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynyrd65 Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 One of the sites near my cabin is broadcasting 1x800 so now we can catch a sprint signal where we couldn't before. The problem is its unusable. Calls don't go through. I think this may be due to how weak the signal is. Maybe if that stupid GMO was a full build the signal would be stronger. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nibrwr Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 Univ. of Oklahoma has great Sprint coverage: averaging 20-30 down, 8-12 up most days. Building penetration is good, too. I'll try to get some screenshots this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mobilesolutions Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Interesting stuff for sponsors available in the Kansas,Missouri,Arkansas, Oklahoma thread! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynyrd65 Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Sprint SMR 1xRTT now covers my cabin as well as the US Cellular 1xRTT roaming it replaces. If they would just convert my GMO site to a full build I might actually get better coverage than all the other carriers (USCC is king here). It is somewhat annoying though, the phone doesn't want to connect to my airave anymore. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mobilesolutions Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 If you read this and you are not a sponsor, you should become one. Sprint has a couple hundred cell sites broadcasting 4G throughout Oklahoma and covers about 2.5 million Oklahomans with dual band wireless LTE. If you become a sponsor you will get to track that process and continuation into the next network overlay project as coverage will become stronger and capacity constraints are lifted! Hope you have had a good Sprint experience and are interested in following the "now" network. -William 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkyD311 Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Just got a couple test devices for work. Seeing lots of B26 in OKC...and lots of timeouts when connected to B26. I can't even get a speedtest to complete. I'll try again on a different site later... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ImmerStark Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 My data works pretty reliably most places but I've been having issues with incoming calls not ringing my phone when on LTE or Wi-Fi calling.

ImmerStark Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 It seems like there are no good options here. At&t and Verizon have horrible voice quality but good coverage where as Sprint and T-Mobile have great voice quality but coverage/network issues.

Mobilesolutions Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 I have good call quality and don't normally miss calls, i rely on my VZW ipad a lot again now though. It depends on the time,your location and how you hold your mouth to it all work. Im not renewing with Sprint again this time. The clock ran out. Tired of paperweight smartphones.

Stevero Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 The Sprint tower that I care most about, the one that I would use while at the gym (streaming while on one of the aerobic machines) is not yet B26 enabled. So I have to use my Verizon phone and eat up the caped data there. I'd much rather use unlimited Sprint data. My gym tower (Sooner & SE44th) is one of the few that doesn't have B26 around here, wonder why. It's certainly accessible from either major road. Funny thing is that when it first went live with LTE it worked great in the gym. Then they did something, dialed back the power or changed an angle and it was back to unusable at only one mile away. But then that was true of all of the Sprint 1900 LTE conversions around here, they were much more usable when first done and I don't think it's just additional user load over time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad Tmobile has a lot of new rural coverage now. They will be pretty great (except deep indoors) soon (and mostly already are). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive been impressed with Tmobile lately,which I never thought id say. They have been executing their deployment pretty nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImmerStark Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 I frequently work in the NE part of Harrah up to Hefner Rd and out to 3360 Rd. A t-Mobile phone is a paperweight in much of that area and I don't mean because it is only EDGE coverage, there is no service at all.

MarkyD311 Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 It's 8:45 pm in Yukon, OK. I'm a quarter mile from Sprint's cell site at SW 15th and Mustang Rd. I can see it from my window. I can connect to B25 and B26 from my house. Both deliver less than 1mbps down, and 2-3mbps up. It's just congestion, plain and simple. It's bad. T-Mobile, on the other hand, is making some pretty big moves nationwide, including here in OK. Lack of low band spectrum in the state will continue to hinder T-Mo indoors, but their cell grid is pretty dense. I'm really impressed with the rate at which T-Mobile is improving the network here.

NuttyLemonz Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 We've finally got quite a few band 41 cells in NW OKC. I have been connecting to quite a few different cells. All are called B41 MM. Anyone know what that means? A small cell implementation? Edit, here's a signal check screen shot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flompholph Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 MM will probably be what this market gets. They are limited but they are cheaper. Still can get great speeds with them. There are also a few south okc and tulsa areas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
