Something fishy is happening. No acceptances in a long time.

I heard a rumor that Sprint heard a rumor that the United States was dumping New Mexico back to Mexico. Since Sprint only provides service in country, they will no longer have a presence in New Mexico.

They are starting the ABQ market with the site next to my house. I just ran into subcontractors for Ericsson who are starting to upgrade my site in El Valle de Arroyo Seco, New Mexico. Unbelievable!!!

OK. I've now uploaded pics. I talked with the guys there. They are electricians hired by SBA. SBA is subcontracted to Ericsson. They are here to install the RRU's only today. My site here did no

That wouldn't really be possible because if they give up New Mexico then they would have to give up California, Arizon, and Colorado, because of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. Edited by Nm45chavez

Nope, just New Mexico. I read it on the internet so it has to be true.

If it does happen at least mexico would probably updated our state network to fiber. Mexico is the fastest country to update their broadband Internet to fiber.

I heard that on the Internet too. And also the hot State Farm chick. I wonder if they ever found her body after her date with the alleged French super model?

I saw this while I bought my new hover car, but unfortunately mercedes revealed the new teleporter so that was a waste of money. :)

 

(But I wasn't joking about mexico and their fiber network.)

These are the days that I miss having an Android. I would put that Premier PRL and try that 800 (if active).

I've been using the regular sponsor prl which prioritizes scanning for smr. The few times I've been connected I've been unable to place a call.

The Nexus 5

It's a bit trickier than other phones to change the prl on the N5.  Check the xda nexus 5 forums to really learn a lot about how to use the phone.  IIRC there is a a computer program that can help with changing the prl.

Ever have an experience changing the PRL on a Galaxy S4?  I've tried with the xshortcut app and get nothing but "The Samsung DM service has stopped" error.

I really considered the iPhone 5 before I got the note 2. I just couldn't give up my burning desire to always tinker with my phone and make it exactly how I wanted it. Plus I was able to sell my note and cover the cost of my nexus 5.

I'm heading to the Sunport tonight where a tower is near, I'm going to see if I can get any of that 800 goodness.

You can't get it on the GN2 without a custom PRL.

So does that mean I will never see 800 unless I customize my prl. Or will it work later down the road once all goes live?

Right now the GN2 has a CDMA 800 problem.  You can't do anything at the moment to use CDMA 800 on a GN2.  If you change the PRL to one that does 800, you will at least be able to connect to CDMA 800.  But you will not be able to use it on the Note 2.

No, you just don't ever get it as first priority, assuming Sprint doesn't change the prl's. Right now if you have an android phone your phone will scan for regular voice and if it doesn't find it, it will then scan for smr 800 voice. If it connects to smr it will keep using that signal until you drop from that tower. If using an iPhone, it will scan for smr secondary like Android, but if it connects to smr it will only keep you on 800 until it finds a usable 1900 signal. So you will still pick up smr, but only in fringe coverage areas, which should be ok for most.

Edit: gn2 is currently exempt from these rules.

      T-Mobile to acquire UScellular

      By Dkoellerwx · Posted

      Probably a lot of Midwest towers. Slight bias since Nebraska is a weird market, but there are tons of USCC sites that T-Mobile isn't yet co-located on. Think a similar situation in Iowa, Wisconsin, and Missouri. But some other markets, like yours, probably don't have that issue!

      Sticky Customers - YES, and leave them flip to the T-Mobile PLMN when needed and they will be even more likely to Stick.

      It seems to me that if the goal is to improve rural, the US Cellular buy-out would get them only part of the way there, considering there are plenty of rural areas that US Cellular does not serve.  But I also have a hard time reading it the way I think that article is, that the cost of this deal comes straight out of the $9 billion.  I mean, they're getting spectrum for their existing operations in US Cellular markets, including places that I wouldn't call rural.  (Roanoke, VA is the 9th largest city in the state, for example.)  It seems like some of it should be allocated to rural expansion, but certainly not the whole purchase price. There's also something to be said for getting the customer base of potentially sticky customers who have been used to US Cellular being the only game in town for potentially decades. - Trip

      By dkyeager · Posted

      T-Mobile has stated 15% of their sites don't have 5g triband. In WV I know WISPs had a lot of 2.5GHz, but T-Mobile was trying to buy as much as possible. More rural FWA would be a big selling point that might overcome any soft bandwidth cap slight overages. Especially since UScellular likely started offering it on c-band.
