Stories from your local sprint store

The few guys I deal with at the local franchise store have always been up to speed and knowledgeable. In fact, most of them are on rooted phones themselves (except that poor bastard with a Photon). I was upgrading the wife/kids phones and was in the process of flashing a new ROM on my EVO, the sales guy looks over and asks what recovery I was using :o ! They also have a little easier time with discounts and rebates and such - the system didn't want to give me the $50 rebate because I was adding a new line but moving the phone for that line to an existing line - a few clicks and voila - rebate allowed. That's never happened to me at the corporate stores...In fact, I walked into a brand new, completely empty (except for employees) store, wandered over to the EVO LTE and started playing with it, downloading apps, running some benchmarks side by side with my 3D, streamed some tunes and not once in the half hour i was messing with it did anyone even approach me to ask if I had a question or to gauge my interest or whether I wanted to buy one....disappointing really.

I suffer from the same affliction in all sales situations. When I don't want to be bothered because I'm not going to buy anything, I cant get the sales people to leave me alone. But when I do want someone to bother me, because I have a question or want to make a purchase, then no one will help me. Bastages!

    • Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.
    • At some point over the weekend, T-Mobile bumped the Omaha metro from 100+40 to 100+90 of n41! That's a pretty large increase from what we had just a few weeks ago when we were sitting at 80+40Mhz. Out of curiosity, tested a site on my way to work and pulled 1.4Gpbs. That's the fastest I've ever gotten on T-Mobile! For those that know Omaha, this was on Dodge street in Midtown so not exactly a quiet area!
    • Did you mean a different site? eNB ID 112039 has been around for years. Streetview even has it with C-band back in 2022 - https://www.google.com/maps/@40.7303042,-73.9610924,3a,24.1y,18.03h,109.66t/data=!3m8!1e1!3m6!1s2ossx06yU56AYOzREdcK-g!2e0!5s20220201T000000!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fpanoid%3D2ossx06yU56AYOzREdcK-g%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.share%26w%3D900%26h%3D600%26yaw%3D18.027734930682684%26pitch%3D-19.664180274382204%26thumbfov%3D90!7i16384!8i8192?coh=205410&entry=ttu Meanwhile, Verizon's eNB 84484 in Fort Greene has been updated to include C-band and CBRS, but not mmWave. I've seen this a few times now on updated Verizon sites where it's just the CBRS antenna on its own, not in a shroud and without mmWave. Odd.
    • Drove out into the country today.  Dish stuck to my phone like glue. At least -120 rsrp. Likely only good for phone calls (should have tested.) It then switched to T-Mobile. Getting back on Dish was another issue. I am used to dragging out coverage so I expected a few miles, but had to drive at least 10 miles towards a Dish site. Airplane mode, which worked for Sprint, did nothing. Rebooting did nothing. Finally got it to change over about 2 miles from the site by manually setting the carrier to Dish then it had great reception. Sprint used to have a 15 minute timeout but I did not have the patience today.  Previously I did a speed test on Dish out in the country at the edge of Dish coverage. My speeds were 2g variety. Dish has really overclocked some of these sites. Seen rssp readings in the 50s. Would have called them boomer sites with Sprint but much  more common with Dish.
