Ok I had a android with 4G and it worked fine , so now I own the iPhone 5 and no 4G or anything what's going on???

 

Well that proves it right there, android is better than iphone 5. Seriously though, you probably came from an android 4g wimax device which is not compatible with iphone 5's 4g lte capability. As stated already, there isn't any 4g lte in your area yet.

I do need the education I thought pretty much there all the same just fancy names! So why is it that's sprints website shows my area as a WiMAX /4G I think and iam guessing the iPhone 5 is LTE only???

 

That's what I just stated.

Depends on if they read before they purchased. Also depends on where they purchased from. All the Sprint reps are trained to differentiate between 4G and 4G LTE.

No worries. Sprint says they will have almost everyone covered by 2014...:D

4G WiMax and 4G LTE are two completely different things. Your Android was a WiMax phone, your iPhone is an LTE phone.

 

Hence your WiMax phone does not work on LTE, and vice versa.

 

Capishe?

 

Thank you I understand now very well explained, still a sweet phone

You do indeed have a very nice phone. If you can hold out 6 months or so, perhaps sooner, you should start to see 4G LTE start to light up in your area, and then your phone will suddenly become even sweeter.

The iPhone 5 is a great phone. Here in Miami I've already experienced it with sprint LTE and let me tell you it's great. The super snappy A6 chip along with the LTE make for a great combination. Stay tuned.....

      Tbh not that surprising. Every ISP seems to want to have an MVNO to pitch to their customers to make them stickier and maybe make some money in the process. And unlike USCC the MVNO should be able to cover TDS's entire wireline area, with infrastructure costs that are borne by someone else. Entertaining, yes. Surprising, not really...particularly when competing against Comcast or Spectrum, or even eventually T-Mobile fixed + mobile. This also strengthens my bet that they'll rebrand all their fixed wireless stuff as TDS, as that runs on spectrum they're keeping for now.

      No? RCS on Google messages works great for me, messages between anyone with RCS enabled go through with no problems. Don't remember the last time I had an issue. I only have issues with people on iPhones on different carriers from T-Mobile.

      Has anyone experienced a ridiculous amount of difficulty with Google messages with RCS enabled?  It has been a train wreck for me for the past year so I now use WhatsApp.  That works very well for all of us.... Android and iOS.

      Probably not worth the fiddling given that that's a few percent of the band. Also, if they really wanted to push my assumption is there are still guard bands in play for the n41 carriers so they could fit two "100 MHz" carriers into 194 MHz anyway. Looks like minimum guard band is less than 1 MHz and a 100 MHz channel is only 273 30 KHz resource blocks, which is a bit over 80 MHz total, so if they really wanted to pull another 5% or so capacity out they could.

      Saw that for a while. Now back to n25 + n71 + n41-100Mhz + n41-90Mhz.
