They are upgrading the entire network, not just cities. So they upgrade each site the moment it is ready. It is typically faster to have a rural site ready to upgrade than an urban site. Backhaul i

Your complaints are rather pathetic. To complain right in the middle of active deployment is ridiculous. The speed in which Sprint and Samsung have converted sites in Puerto Rico is unprecedented. E

Guys. Sprint is better than ever. No more drop calls for me from UPR to Toa Baja and vice versa. Very good LTE speed. UPR Río Piedras Campus have LTE everywhere and usable 3g if LTE isnt available. I'

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.

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

 

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

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.

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. :P

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.

If u can get her proof of the offer from costco...like a picture or a shopper.... They would honor it ...thats how i bought my evoLTE...

I took a picture from a RadioShack offer and went to the store... I got it for half the price:o:mellow::D;):)

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.

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 :)

      Interesting, I saw this too on my AT&T S22 while roaming on US Cellular. I thought it was an Android bug since CellMapper was doing the same thing (didn't get a screenshot of that one). N66 makes more sense than N1.

      Thanks, that was good timing, I did see your report as I was buttoning up this latest update and added an override for that.. did it not work?   Ok, was that on AT&T also? Please send a report if you happen to see it again and safely have the opportunity. You can always do the long-press on the fly and then send a later one with an explanation pointing to the earlier one.. your username is attached to the long-press reports, so it's not an issue.

      I sent a report in earlier, n66 reporting as n1. There should be two different reports, I couldn't find the button the first time so I just long pressed the connection type to send, then I remembered where it was. I put a note about the issue on the 2nd report. Both reports from me are for the same issue. Also, it might have been on a prior release but earlier this week I also saw n66 reported as n65 on the app. I was driving and wasn't able to send a report in for that one.

      One more SCP beta rolling out.. includes more bugfixes and minor improvements. Pending any major issues with this version, it will be released to the public within a few days. Thanks for all the help and feedback!

      Passed by the former Sprint site at 1184 60th St in Brooklyn last week and noticed T-Mobile took down all of the Sprint equipment but it looked like they installed some new cabinets so conversion is likely in progress.
