Information about S4GRU Sponsorship levels and how to become a Sponsor


S4GRU

Recommended Posts

I didn't have service when you donated. I upgraded you when I got back onto coverage. Only an hour or so after you donated. Thanks for supporting S4GRU. Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

Thanks for the prompt response. Sorry for being so impatient; I didn't realize you were personally applying every upgrade. I expected the upgrade process to be automated as per the "Information about S4GRU Sponsorship levels and how to become a Sponsor" thread.

 

 

I take it this is your site? Thanks for all the work you've done to organize this. Now I know exactly where all my local towers are and which two have just received full tower NV upgrades.

Yep, it's my site. But it is so much bigger than me. We have a wonderful all volunteer staff and such a great community of members that make this site so great. Welcome to our community!

I just made one, and forgot to put my user name in again. Naturally.

 

Once we link your PayPal email address with your S4GRU Screen name, it doesn't matter anymore.  So long as you don't change your PayPal email address.  :tu:

ok sweet, and thanks again for all the great work. I actually just updated mine there and here, to be safe here is the receipt numbers. 2756-8714-3162-7088, 5605-9704-8344-8850, 5605-9704-8344-8850. This site has honestly opened my eyes about this technology and an interest I was unaware I had, and am looking into exploring professionally. This is just awesome.

I am usually a cheapskate and hate parting with my money, but I definitely don't have a problem with supporting this site. I have only been here for a month and feel that any donation made would be just a drop in the bucket compared to how much this community is worth. Sure, I really wanted to see the cool exclusive maps that are available to premier sponsors, but I also feel this community deserves to be invested in. There are a lot of friendly staff and members here who are extremely intelligent, passionate and share like interests while providing a way for anyone to learn what really goes on with not only cell phones, but all forms of telecommunications. I encourage everyone to help keep this community going because I cannot think of a better community or a better staff than Robert and all of moderators and contributing authors here.

 

Plus, I think Robert's wife deserves some flowers for putting up with our neediness.

That is an excellent idea. She has been stressed out lately. Thanks for the suggestion! And thank you for your support.

Wow, that is going to be a challenge fitting all 16,000 signatures on the card.  We need those scientists who inscribed the Bible on the head of a pin.

My pen can do 1x advanced so I can fit four times the capacity on each line.

You have a Pen is Mightier?

    • In the conference call they had two question on additional spectrum. One was the 800 spectrum. They are not certain what will happen, thus have not really put it into their plans either way (sale or no sale). The do have a reserve level. It is seen as great for new technologies which I presume is IOT or 5g slices.  They did not bite on use of their c-band or DOD.  mmWave rapidly approaching deadlines not mentioned at all. FWA brushes on this as it deals with underutilized spectrum on a sector by sector basis.  They are willing to take more money to allow FWA to be mobile (think RV or camping). Unsure if this represents a higher priority, for example, RVs in Walmart parking lots where mobile needs all the capacity. In terms of FWA capacity, their offload strategy is fiber through joint ventures where T-Mobile does the marketing, sales, and customer support while the fiber company does the network planning and installation.  50%-50% financial split not being consolidated into their books. I think discussion of other spectrum would have diluted the fiber joint venture discussion. They do have a fund which one use is to purchase new spectrum. Sale of the 800Mhz would go into this. It should be noted that they continue to buy 2.5Ghz spectrum from schools etc to replace leases. They will have a conference this fall  to update their overall strategies. Other notes from the call are 75% of the phones on the network are 5g. About 85% of their sites have n41, n25, and n71. 93% of traffic is on midband.  SA is also adding to their performance advantage, which they figure is still ahead of other carriers by two years. It took two weeks to put the auction 108 spectrum to use at their existing sites. Mention was also made that their site spacing was designed for midrange thus no gaps in n41 coverage, while competitors was designed for lowband thus toggles back and forth for n77.  
    • The manual network selection sounds like it isn't always scanning NR, hence Dish not showing up. Your easiest way to force Dish is going to be forcing the phone into NR-only mode (*#*#4636#*#* menu?), since rainbow sims don't support SA on T-Mobile.
    • "The company’s unique multi-layer approach to 5G, with dedicated standalone 5G deployed nationwide across 600MHz, 1.9GHz, and 2.5GHz delivers customers a consistently strong experience, with 85% of 5G traffic on sites with all three spectrum bands deployed." Meanwhile they are very close to a construction deadline in June for 850Mhz of mmWave in most of Ohio iirc. No reported sightings.

They're completely avoiding talking about mmWave.
    • Was true in my market. Likely means a higher percentage of 5g phones in your market.
