Appreciate the info... I'm currently rocking the HTC EVO 4G LTE. So yea ... not sure if it falls under the "tri band" device... somehow I doubt it :D Thanks again.

Nope, they just started releasing tri-bands in the last 5-6 months, I believe starting with the Nexus 5. Evo 4G LTE isn't tri-band, unfortunately.

Yeah, not only is the EVO LTE not Triband, it is one of the worst performing Sprint LTE devices ever.  It really struggles to get weaker signals that other devices can use.  Which is really important when on LTE.

Also if you stick with HTC, I am really loving the front facing boom sound speakers! WOW! (just a thought).

Yea .. waiting to see the reviews on the new HTC One coming out. Front facing speakers is what i need. Hate holding my hand behind my phone to bounce the sound forward.

She doesn't need to when she lives in the Sacramento area.

Fresno and Sacramento, the 2 worst areas for the Central Valley! :(

Sincr the Sense 5 update, radio performance has improved significantly. It now falls in the average category for me, right along side the GS3 and other devices that came out around that time.

Yes, revel in the horror that is 3G in the LCV.

At least I get 4G when I visit my mother in law and parents. I don't get it here at home. 

 

Soon. As in sometime before I turn 40.

Heading up to Clovis in April any Idea when they will be getting any LTE? going to be a shame to go back to 3G even if is for half a day

No clue when LTE will arrive in Clovis, but it will happen when it happens. Just like we didn't know when work would finally start in Fresno. One day it finally started happening!

Unlikely. The rodeo site is still not, as far as I can tell, anyway, in progress. The permit for the site over by Home Depot on Shaw still has not been issued, either.

 

On the plus side, Fresno is coming along nicely. I found another "in progress" site in the city today that was definitely not in progress last week.

    • I think the push for them is adding US Mobile as a MVNO with a priority data plan.  Ultimately, making people more aware of priority would allow them (and other carriers) to differentiate themselves from MVNOs like Consumer Cellular that advertise the same coverage. n77 has dramatically reduced the need for priority service at Verizon where the mere functioning of your phone was in jeopardy a couple of years ago if you had a low priority plan like Red Pocket. Only have heard of problems with T-Mobile in parts of Los Angeles. AT&T fell in between. All had issues at large concerts and festivals, or sporting events if your carrier has no on-site rights. Edit: Dishes native 5g network has different issues: not enough sites, limited bandwidth. Higher priority would help a few. Truth is they can push phones to AT&T or T-Mobile.
    • Tracfone AT&T sims went from QCI 8 to 9 as well a couple years ago. I'm pretty neutral towards AT&T's turbo feature here, the only bad taste left was for those who had unadvertised QCI 7 a couple months ago moved down to 8. In my eyes it would have been a lot better for AT&T to include turbo in those Premium/Elite plans for free to keep them at QCI 7, while also introducing this turbo add on option for any other plans or devices. As it stands now only a handful of plans can add it, and only if you're using a device on a random list of devices AT&T considers to be 5G smartphones.
    • My Red Pocket AT&T GSMA account was dropped to QCI 9 about a year ago.  Most recently 8 for the last few years prior.  Voice remains at 5.
    • https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2024/05/att-announces-7-monthly-add-on-fee-for-turbo-5g-speeds/ Hopefully we don't ever see T-Mobile do something like this. Based on how I was treated with my Credit Limit, it's definitely not the same company it was before the merger, and it's entirely possible they'd try it.
