MacinJosh Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Indeed, Josh, that is the widespread relevance of this thread. AJ Well I guess I'll be keeping an eye out on my NID as I travel California and Nevada. Sent from Josh's iPhone 5 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boosted20V Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 So what is the implication with this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WiWavelength Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 So what is the implication with this? NID consolidation is likely to affect other markets, too, and that has ramifications for those who have experienced NID boundary problems for many years. (This Bud's for you, larryt510.)

(This Bud's for you, larryt510.) AJ I understand NID boundaries affect the user experience but what is causing Sprint to alter them? I should have used the term cause rather than implication.

(This Bud's for you, larryt510.) AJ This is great news! I have been complaining about this NID boundary (NID 2 and 3 in Orange County, CA) issue for many years. It's caused an epidemic of missed incoming calls, battery life issues, pilot pollution, etc. The worst part about this particular NID boundary is that it was set up in the worst possible location. Right along a highly populated area, major freeway and also a large residential area. Now had they moved NID 2 just one more cell site to the West it would have been much better as there would have been a separation by a hill to block out the pilot pollution. But in my opinion they made a huge mistake by doing it the way they did. I talked to people in the right department at Sprint a number of times about it but was unable to convince them to make a change (which would probably require corporate approval and a lot of red tape). Nothing has changed here yet but I will keep a watch on it and hope that we get a similiar merging of NID boundaries into one larger one. That would make a lot of Sprint customers around here very happy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WiWavelength Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Mooeydj, NIDs do not require unique number identifiers. They are just subdivisions of SIDs. AJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sporter82 Posted June 25, 2013 Author Share Posted June 25, 2013 Do you think there is a correlation to this change and the upcoming iDEN decommission? It's times like this I wish I still worked there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bctrainers Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Morning, it appears Northern Spring Hill, KS / Extreme southern Olathe, KS is on NID 308. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WiWavelength Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Morning, it appears Northern Spring Hill, KS / Extreme southern Olathe, KS is on NID 308. Thanks for the report, but this is largely a fait accompli now. Since the rural western portions of SID 4139 have now gone NID 308, even the rural northern portions of SID 4198 have now gone NID 308, there is little doubt that Sprint's entire Kansas market is going NID 308. No matter what, Spring Hill would have followed along. The only real question mark remaining is whether the Wichita metro will also be consolidated into NID 308.

WiWavelength Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 My brother lives close to down town in Wichita and I just had him check. He is showing 308 That basically settles it. All of the Kansas market has gone or is going NID 308. However, that does not mean the entire market is now on one MSC. Though all on the same NID, it could still be divided up into separate MSC zones -- at least, that is my understanding. AJ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
