Yes but that is also why I suggested what I did. Sensorly is a great resource, but it isn't infallible for many of the reasons mikejeep mentioned. There is significant gnex pollution in Omaha. There are fellow members of this site that know enough about the Omaha market to be able to tell you where you should reasonably expect an LTE connection with as good of or in many cases better than Sensorly.

As Nickel notes, signal levels would be more hopeful. It would also be helpful to know where you aren't connecting at that you think you should be. Omaha is one of the markets we have a pretty detailed handle on and we can talk specific locations and sites in this thread here.
-
That is a sprint site. And I find it hard to believe they were "tearing down all the boxes." Assuming you are talking about the equipment, that would leave a non-functioning site. Most of the sites in Omaha are on the new NV equipment this one included. What they might have been doing was removing the legacy base cabinet and other stuff that is no longer needed. -
Thanks for making the donation to support the site. Let us know if you have any questions on the other side.

I was a bit surprised to see a Hy-Vee that far South the first time I went to Lawrence to visit family.
-
Welcome! It is a holiday week with little activity going on. Plus, with virtually all of the Central Iowa sites on the new equipment now, there isn't much to report until more LTE acceptances start coming.

Said article also notes the reason 531 hasn't been implemented yet as the following: If T-Mobile wanted to get numbers here they could. A lack of LEC availability isn't the reason T-Mobile never built out and served Omaha...
-
I find that extremely difficult to believe. We've got an entire 2nd area code of unused numbers.
-
And they're in the process of rolling out LTE on their sites here...
-
They're clearly national ad buys, but I too find it funny that for as often as I see there ads that they won't sell me service here. Plug in our zip codes and the T-mobile website acts like they don't exist.
-
The broadband deal makes sense as Sprint is sitting on Band 41 sites in rural areas that it needs to deploy to keep the spectrum, but are going to be significantly under utilized. Going in a joint-venture situation with Dish who also serves rural areas with satellite coverage provides some synergies.
-
I don't know. If Soft/Sprint can win T-Mobile without having to give up many concessions they still don't have a need to cave to Charlie. It puts Charlie in a situation where he either has to sell the spectrum he is sitting on or capitulate to someone in negotiations that are favorable to the wireless carrier.The fact still remains Dish is sitting on spectrum that it needs to either deploy or sell. They've made it fairly clear that they don't want to deploy it on their own.
-
If Sprint can clear the regulatory hurdles to acquire T-Mobile on their own, they have no need for a Dish partnership.
-
Your own quote above says they provide service exclusively to schools and non-profits...

The BID is a site identifier based on the which one of the 3 sectors of the site you are connected to on the 1x side. The number is going to be the same whether or not your voice connection is on 1900 or 1x800.
-
The BID has nothing to do with your data connection it is only telling you where your voice connection is. Particularly during the NV roll out, often voice and data are coming from different sites. We'd need an a screenshot from the apple engineering screens from your iphone or signal check pro and potentially still engineering screens from an android device to tell anything definitively about where you were connecting to.
-
Yeah, because LTE is only active on under 20% of the Omaha metro sites. As bmoses said, the list you quoted is a Sprint marketing list. Generally a city will make that list when 40% of the population is covered by LTE.
-
You need to get a sim card from Sprint, not google.

See digiblur's post here. http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/2198-network-visionlte-new-orleans-market/page-38?p=90231&do=findComment&comment=90231

Yep the iphone cell identity is the LTE Hex ID on the spreadsheet converted to hexadecimal format. You can use any converter such as this http://www.binaryhexconverter.com/decimal-to-hex-converte, add a 0 to the beginning and the last two digits are dropped to xx as they'll be 00, 01, 02 depending on the sector of the site you were connected to.
-
And we added the 269 physical cell ID for that site that we didn't have previously based on your post. Thanks!
-
It is more of a marketing thing than a statement on the completion of NV. They'll "launch" a city when 40% of the population is covered.

ios7 messes up the engineering screen a little bit. As you can see the cell identity number is truncated. Having that whole number is very helpful to us. If you are still connected to that site go to settings>General>Accessibility>Bold Text - set that to ON and repost the screenshot.
