I thought that on CDMA you only connected to one tower at a time. I guess that does not apply to Lte?

Actually you can be connected to three towers at a time, one for 1x, another for 3g and a third for lte.

Vieques? That's awesome, next stop St. Thomas.

I'm here in St.Croix with my galaxy 4 waiting for backhaul.

It's gotta be headed your way *relatively* soon.

That's gotta be a double entendre. Don't you have relatives in USVI?

Yes, actually I do as of recently!

Heads up guys, HTC One with free accessories for $99.99 at Costco (new line or 2yr upgrade)starting today. Going to pick one up as a mothers day gift after I get out of class.

That's basically the same offer you get at sprint.

Sprint sells it for $99.99if you're switching from another provider.... By bringing your number from the competition. Costco sells it for that price + free accessories to everyone eligible for an upgrade.

Forgot to mention, no $36 activation fee

[Gab2012]

And I just got it, the real price is $130 for upgrades. $99 new lines. They included a nice yet cheap TPU rubber case, 2 screen protectors, a car charger, 90 day return/exchange warranty and no $36 activation fee. It was a hassle free experience and the people working there are super nice.

 

 

My sister is mad since she paid $236(with activation) for hers last week.

Pretty darn good price for a phone that's barely a month old... Although it's worth noting that it's not exactly hard to dodge the activation fee at Sprint. I've never been charged activation when buying thru Wirefly even tho it should've been charged, and I've also heard it's pretty easy to just call Sprint (maybe try going directly to the retention dpt) to complain about the fee and give them the whole loyal customer spiel... They'll usually give you a credit for it, heck that even works on AT&T (told my mother it was worth a shot when she got the One X and it totally worked).

 

Might be something your sister can try, although even if she gets the credit it'll still be a $70 difference... Didn't anyone here sign up for that HTC offer where they'd give you $100 back after mailing your One proof of purchase along with your old smartphone? I didn't read the fine print but it seems you could've stacked it with any of these recent offers, provided you had an older phone; something like the EVO LTE or SGS3 is probably still worth over $100 used, but anything older is probably not.

 

CompUSA's been selling phones in PR too and I think they'll match printed offers (or was that Radio Shack? I forget) Usually everyone has phones cheaper than the carrier stores after a month or two, the One was already down to $150 or $160 at Costco two weeks ago... Your sister didn't shop around much.

The thing is that she lives in Mayagüez, theres nothing other than a coorporate sprint store there. I'm deeply considering getting one for myself, the offer is valid until June 2, 2013.

[Robert7]

[themuffinman]

LOL, I guess since Puerto Rico is mostly covered now no one wants to post anymore?

I'm still keeping an eye on the map for certain areas in Guaynabo to get completed. They're rollout speed has definitely slowed down.

[Paynefanbro]

I think that's because there is less to roll out! Maybe people from the VI should speak up. I visit the USVI almost every year.

[vamp07]

San Juan is still missing several towers. Looking at the map I would say it's about 70 percent completed. Pretty soon we're going to need to find something new to b**** and moan about.

San Juan, Bayamon & Guaynabo are still missing LTE site completion, but there's no new progress to report so it's been quiet here.

 

I'm waiting for the announcement of the Galaxy Note 3 with tri-band LTE
