Is the site on cr192/old noonday road still 3g only? It is not in donut mode , It has LTE all the way in the -70's, no disconnects, or no hand offs needed

Send me the site ID and I will check tomorrow.

 

Sounds like from what you say that site is active. Definitely confirmed in the NOLA market rules though.

Sent away. I think it will be seeing 1x800 soon too. Got some on and off test signal the same day I found it live

Out of curiosity, would the city of Palestine, TX be considered in the East Texas or Dallas market if it ever got full Sprint coverage?

East texas I think haha It has some clearwire sites I believe. But that would be a question for digiblur. I wonder if they will put sprint equipment where the current clearwire equipment is

Check your 1x PCS PNs against the 800SMR ones.

Well i couldn't get to the engineering screen in time before it went away, Id put the phone down and itd come back for a few seconds :/ It was just teasing me

 

EDIT: I actually got one or two screen shots off I believe.

Something strange this AM in Atlanta (TX). My NID changed from 5 to 311. I am also getting a new BID. Does this mean new equipment?

My cell tower also changed from NID 5 to 311 and BID 14003 to 20763 at about 2:00 a.m.

I wonder if this is just an indication of a change of controlling software, or core/switch? Or could it indicate a change of equipment at the tower level?

Consolidation of the switches due to decreased voice capacity needs.

LTE has gone live in downtown Longview TX not sure if they were testing but my moms phone picked it up. havent seen if its still up, but she texted me at 8am saying it was on not sure if it still is but all other towers are in donut mode because my other phone isnt picking any 4G.  :)

I think that one went accepted over the weekend.  Nice to see it confirmed as live though.  Now who's going to do the proper mapping of the site instead of a couple little points?

i would but i dont know how, and i just got a tweet from sprint care saying "That's Longview Texas? I looked and the other couple of your towers are to be scheduled for 4G in the next few months.*ADD" so dont know if this tower will stay online but it has for the past couple of hours.

Yes, it will stay online unless there is some sort of failure or other need to take it offline temporarily.  It's not really in testing as the testing was done long before any customers could attach to it. 

 

It's simple to map, download Sensorly, get inside the 4G coverage area with a signal, cycle airplane if you have to make it scan, hit Map Trip in Sensorly then Start.  No drive around and it will upload your points to the map.  Very simple.

      Quote from wsj; "The T-Mobile deal could be reached as soon as later this month, while discussions with Verizon on a separate transaction are expected to take longer or might not result in an agreement, the people said." "The rising value of wireless licenses is a driving force behind the deal. U.S. Cellular’s spectrum portfolio touches 30 states and covers about 51 million people, according to regulatory filings." https://specmap.sequence-omega.net/

      From WSJ which is paywalled but they're reporting that T-Mobile and Verizon are working on a joint deal to buy and split up U.S. Cellular. https://www.wsj.com/business/telecom/t-mobile-verizon-in-talks-to-carve-up-u-s-cellular-46d1e5e6?st=qwngrnh4s3bcr76 — — — — —  Summary from a user in the Reddit thread:

      Roaming experience in Japan

      By iansltx · Posted

      So, in summary, here are the options I tested: T-Mobile intl roaming - LTE on SoftBank, routes back to the US (~220ms to 4.2.2.4) IIJ physical SIM - LTE on NTT, local routing Airalo - LTE on SoftBank and KDDI (seems to prefer SoftBank), routed through Singapore (SingTel) Ubigi - 5G on NTT, routed through Singapore (Transatel) US Mobile East Asia roaming - 5G on SoftBank, routed through Singapore (Club SIM) Saily - 5G on NTT, routed through Hong Kong (Truphone)...seems to be poorer routing my1010 - LTE on SoftBank and KDDI (seems to prefer KDDI), routed through Taiwan (Chunghwa Telecom) I wouldn't buy up on the T-Mobile international roaming, but it's a solid fallback. If you have the US Mobile roaming eSIM that's a great option. Otherwise Ubigi, Airalo, or my1010 are all solid options, so get whatever's cheapest. I wouldn't bother trying to find a physical SIM from IIJ...the Japanese IP is nice but there's enough WiFi that you can get a Japanese IP enough for whatever you need, and eSIM flexibility is great (IIJ as eSIM but seems a bit more involved to get it to work).
