Well for the most part that particular crew working there are clueless but that's expected.  I mean they are there to collect a paycheck and to do what they are trained to do and that's it.  You won't find too many wireless enthusiasts or tech heads working at any carriers store location.  The manager and assistant manager aren't too bad though but the rest of the staff is worthless.  I don't mean to come across so negative towards them but I have had way too many bad experiences dealing with those people and if I have no choice but to go to a store I try my best to wait until I get back to atlanta before doing so.

hahaha i had my turn when i was swapping devices...i just walked outside...called the states..and they call the store n make them change my phone...and the manager didnt know shit..i shut his ass down..hahaha..but i hope the 4g swing thru tho...i dont feel like puttin my choice box on again..wastin money!

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'

A lot of outages today, any good news besides the outages making users want to commit suicide? The worse part is the outage ain't even a simple hour-long outage, these outages last 3+ hours...

The 24 hour outage has finished, exactly 24 hours; June 16 8:30am to June 17 8:30am. I'm starting to think the workers who work on the towers start 8:30am everyday.

Maybe they'll throw everyone for a loop and turn on STJ first.  :lol:

Now that would be funny.

Would make sense if stx got it first, they did get their 3g nv equipment installed first not to mention they have less towers and less congestion than stt so I wouldn't be surprised if they get lte turned on first.

I doubt the criteria for who gets turned on first has anything to do with this.

Who knows what the actual criteria is but I do know how things work in the virgin islands and trust me when I say that compared to you guys in Puerto Rico and on the U.S. mainland, the virgin islands is damn near the level of a third world country when it comes to any sort of technological advancement.  Sad but 100% true.

Don't know what to really say but this is absolutely not true at all, sprint has never had any sort of 4g in the Virgin Islands......ever.

You might want to trust me on this one, sprint has never had any sort of 4glte/4gwimax service in the virgin islands.  This is 100% fact.  Let me ask you though, what type of phone did she have?

      Official Tmobile-Sprint merger discussion thread

      By dkyeager · Posted

      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.
