The complaints in this thread need to stop. They violate posting rules, as S4GRU does not host Sprint complaints.   Several of you should consider becoming sponsors, thus having access to our Netwo

I confirmed GMO band 25 LTE on a site in Myrtle market last night. Finally.

My family and I are getting incredibly upset with Sprint, we're getting horrible service with full bars, I've had 8 dropped calls this week and I'm hardly on the phone at all, my brother has had about 20, he's on the phone a lot, my sister in law has had 4 and my buddy has had 13. Data speeds are getting slower here in Spartanburg as I'm back to getting .02mbps at work and I did a speedtest with full bars and got .37mbps. We've called Sprint a bunch in the past week and all we keep hearing is the same thing we've heard before. Now hearing that they're moving the completion date to of NV to mid 2014 isn't helping either. We've been debating switching to T-Mobile as they're network out here has gotten pretty impressive, I want to stay with Sprint as they're going to get much better here but I can't deny I'm getting incredibly impatient as every other carrier has LTE out here except Sprint. My buddy, who is the head of the account has stated we'll be switching if they don't get their LTE out here by the time the next iPhone is announced, which appears to be September 10. I'm hoping Sprint ups its rollout speed out here in the next few weeks

Anyone else start roaming in the last couple days? I don't think I've seen a connection that wasn't roaming since Sunday which it's pretty rare that I roam at all. The girlfriend's phone is roaming also.

Seeing a few more yellow marks on the map now, looks like a tower in Roebuck and Boiling Springs area. Has anyone been able to test any of these new sites? I find it hilarious that LTE is turning on in all the places that surround where I am in Spartanburg but not actually in Spartanburg haha. It's a good sign though, hoping to see some LTE out here really soon.

This is crazy. I literally cannot even stay connected long enough to check my voicemail (because the app likes to hold them for 2 weeks at a time) and still constant roaming.

      Kind of amazing that T-Mobile is still holding onto that speed title despite Verizon all but killing off lowband 5G on their network. While Verizon is mostly being evaluated on mmWave and C-band performance, T-Mobile and AT&T's average 5G speeds include their massive lowband 5G networks that are significantly slower.

      Yup. Very true. We were originally on an Everything Data 1500 Plan, which got Unlimited Minutes thanks to Marcelo's "Loyalty Benefits" offer. We then switched to Unlimited Freedom (with the Free HD add-on that Sprint originally wanted $20/month per line for.... remember that?) because the pricing was better with "iPhone for Life", vs. the "Loyalty Credit" for staying on a Legacy Plan. After that, I ran the numbers and switched us over to Sprint MAX, especially for the international travel benefits. There's absolutely no reason for us to switch to Go5G Plus or Go5G Next if we're going to do BYOD by purchasing from Apple/Samsung/Google directly as we've been doing. These new plans aren't priced for current customers to switch to. They're priced for new customers, where they throw in a free line, etc. It's gone from "Uncarrier" to "Carrier". What a shame.

      Strange business model that they keep around all these pricing plans. 1000s of plans per carrier is reportedly not uncommon.  Training customer support must be a nightmare. Even MVNOs have legacy plans. A downside of their contract mentality I guess. Best to change contracts during a recession. But then all carriers try to squeeze out legacy plan benefits as they grow old.

      Everything "Uncarrier" is becoming "Carrier" again. Because of the Credit Limit that T-Mobile put on our account for no reason at all (and wouldn't change/update the last time I checked all the way up to the CEO), I don't plan on buying/upgrading our iPhones through T-Mobile. I'm going through Apple directly. Looks like I'll be going through Google and Samsung directly for our other lines for upgrades. Also, we're staying on Sprint Max given the ridiculous pricing for Go5G Plus. On Sprint Max, we currently pay for our Plan: $260 for 7 Voice Lines $25 for two Wearable Lines. (One is $10/Month. The other is $15/Month because the AutoPay discount only applies up to 8 lines.) Total: $285/Month vs. Go5G Plus (Per the Broadband Facts "nutrition label" on the T-Mobile Website): https://www.t-mobile.com/commerce/cell-phone-plans $360 - ($5 AutoPay Discount x 7 Voice Lines) = $325 The Watch Plans show as either $12/Month or $15/Month: https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans/affordable-data-plans/smartwatches So this is about the same for the wearables as what we're paying now. Overall, it's quite more than we're paying now to switch plans. Ridiculous....
