So you're suggesting we shut down this entire site since this site is based on that hobby of talking to cell site workers and takings picture of cellular equipment among other things to track the deve

Been seeing some amazing speeds off my local tower the last week or so on B25! This is off the tower I posted pics of a while back with the very first known 8T8R antennas. Some of you will remember th

OK I am absolutely blown away with the difference between my S3 and my son's S5! I would have not been so frustrated with my service had I known. If I didn't want the note 4 so bad I would upgrade

Any updates on the Richmond, Indiana launch? Nothing new posted in the latest sponsor maps... Still says just in progress...

Last I have heard from a reliable source is that 2 of the towers will completed for 3G upgrade and that 4G will be a few days afterward.

When will those 3g towers go online?

Sorry, I meant to put the date in there.  March 11th for the 3G!  Not sure which towers but I believe Walmart effeminately, then either Glen Miller tower or the one up by Hills Pet.

Great! Thanks for the info. Any word on the timeline for the rest of the towers? Who is your source?

I made contact with a guy from Detroit that is with Sprint.  He called me after I tracked down an engineer on LinkedIn with a complaint.  He gave me the March 11th date, and @SprintCares on twitter said within a few weeks for 4G.

 

THe others are not "scheduled" until May, but he stated that may come sooner, once the crews are up here in the area.

Liberty, IN tower and Oxford, OH Morning Sun Rd tower have both been upgraded to 4G, still no handoff.

 

Though, coverage along OH-177 between SR-73 and IN-227 has improved significantly.  Still dropping in Fairhaven valley.

 

Calls on the outskirts of Oxford are garbled a bit, but not dropping.  I hear this is an artifact caused by the mixmash of old 3G and new 4G upgraded towers.

Hello, new to the forum, but I wanted to post that I use an lg g2, and I've been getting what I believe to be sprint spark here in Hamilton, Ohio.  My G2 shows both LTE and the Spark symbol on the top part of the screen. I've been getting it near the Joyce Park area between Pleasant Ave. and Laurel. Ave.

 

Anyone else report on this area being active for Sprint spark?

That is normal for the spark enabled phones to show that even if not connected to spark per say. I do not believe there is spark yet up and running the way it should be in our area. You can force it,but then you won't be able to receive calls and text.

Question about " forcing" lte. I got my msl and enabled band 41. I have my preferred network sy to cDmA/lte. Getting a lot of missed incoming calls, but I'm rarely if ever on lte as it seems to be popping up everywhere I don't go. In fact im usually on a Wi-Fi portable hotspot. Am I " forcing" and can this be the cause of my missed calls?

 

BTW, I know I missed a call when I'm looking right at the phone and a voicemail appears even though it never rang

if you have lte/cdma then your not forcing. usually when you force it's only on LTE which would disable voice calls if you were connected to lte and if you were not in an lte area then you would not have any cell coverage

I think you need to have it set to cdma evdo/lte. I set mine to lte/cdma and couldn't receive calls either. But set to the other and I connect to lte and get calls.

I don't have that option. Just global, CDMA/lte, CDMA, gsm

if you have the g2 then use 5689#*980# then it and connection manager you will see the current setting and have a chance to select evdo with cdma

      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....
