Current Sprint PRLs

I like the huge random BLOB of medium purple in South Dakota (Roaming+).   Unfortunately, Western Wisconsin is still light purple and not medium purple.  Buy hey, northern Wisconsin is medium purple. 

 

I'm not seeing any Roaming+...That blob looks like off network roaming to me, albeit 3G roaming (EVDO)...

Implications of this??

You can see from May 2015 and the pic from today that there are some losses from 3g to light purple.  White Hall area, some of 64 west bound areas, Rivanna area, some of 29 south and some area's of Lake Monticello all lost some dark purple to light purple.

So, I just checked the coverage map for sprint Spark, and did NOT see the orange blob in the middle of C'ville as shown on your screenshot.  Neither when no device was specified, and when I specified for my M9.

Eagle River, Wisconsin, looks to be roaming+ for voice and just roaming for data. I don't have access to a desktop to check the full site. I spent 3 days up there, google maps navigation the whole way up from Chicago, and some basic browsing, emails, and social media. I used 3.3mb of roaming data. Seems very low. I couldn't get iPhone field test to load to get a SID of the roaming partner up there, but someone in the Wisconsin thread said its either Verizon or Cellcom.

The South Dakota "blob" is James River/Northern Valley Telecom. It has been pseudo native for Sprint for over a year and was previously shown as 3G & More roaming. Nothing new here really for the blob.

I wonder if Si Wireless is one of the changes. I noticed on the coverage map they went from native coverage to roaming coverage on 3G. :(

 

Maybe went from Pesudo native to roaming?

There was a commenter on Fierce, fuzzylumpkins, who mistook the MyMobileNation coverage as native Sprint. No, it is most certainly not native. It is a Sprint rural alliance partner. Do you know why it was called SI Wireless and now is called MyMobileNation? The SI stands for "Southern Illinois". That was the area that SI was originally supposed to serve. Instead, they backed out and served Kentucky and Tennessee instead. At the time they backed out, ATNI was still here. In January 2013, ATNI backed out of the consumer market and consummated the transaction to sell remaining Alltel markets to AT&T.

 

The effective result is that Southern Illinois telephone co-op's paid for competition in other areas. My dream would be Shentel coming in and buying out the coops and MobileNation, and then funding Southern Illinois expansion, but that's probably a pipe dream.

South Dakota has the Blob?  Wow.  I am glad that Nebraska is in between it and me.  The Blob will have to consume all of the Omaha thread group before it comes for me, giving me time to stock up on fire extinguishers.

Not to be confused with South Dakota Bob. That is a different kind of blob. It consumes fried chicken in gross quantities and drives with its engineering screen open.

Oh, so it is Bob now?  Yeah, what about Bob?

Maybe the plan is to have the "Nebraska Loop" ensnare the Blob -- or South Dakota Bob, for that matter.

South Dakota talk always makes me ask "where the hell is Wall Drug?" I loved that place, there was something for everyone there.

 

Uh, in Wall, SD.  Now, would you like some ice water?

South Dakota is easy to sum up.

 

Mount Rushmore.  Black Hills.  Native Americans.  Badlands.  Credit cards.  Wall Drug.  Call centers.  Credit cards.  Swiftel.  Corn Palace.

 

That is everything.

What did I start!? Just meant that it was a blob of the only coverage in a wide area. Ha ha. I like where this has gone though.

    • After several months of testing, an update to SignalCheck Pro is rolling out on Google Play. It may take up to 48 hours to become available for download. Notable changes include: Added option to display site notes for NSA 5G-NR cells. Enabling this new option (Preferences > Display Settings > Show NSA 5G-NR Site Notes) will cause the app to make an "educated guess" as to what the most appropriate site note is linked to the connected NSA 5G cell, using the PCI and the device location. If it finds an existing entry that is likely to be relevant, it will display the note along with the distance from where the strongest signal from that cell was logged. While connected to NSA 5G, these notes cannot be edited; a valid NCI is required to add/edit notes and that information is not available on NSA connections.   Added option to log cells with missing/invalid PLMN (such as NSA 5G-NR cells). Users asked for the ability to log data for NSA 5G, so a new option (Preferences > Logger Settings > Log Cells with Missing PLMN) will permit this.   Added option to display LTE info above 5G-NR info. Enabling this new option (Preferences > Display Settings > Show LTE Cells Above 5G-NR Cells) shows the same information that is currently displayed, but moves the LTE information above the 5G-NR information. Other changes: Code optimizations and enhancements. Improved Android 15 compatibility. Overhauled Purchases module. Resolved force closes impacting some GSM/LTE connections. Resolved issue with improper 5G-NR PLMN display when NR/LTE PLMNs did not match. Resolved issue with improper PLMN display with single-digit MNCs. Resolved issue with incorrect 5G-NR bands displayed on some devices due to Android bug. Resolved issue with incorrect number of neighbor cells displayed when some cells were unknown. Resolved issue with missing 5G-NR data when sector display is enabled. Resolved issue with saving 5G-NR site notes when NR/LTE PLMNs did not match. Resolved issue with settings to log missing GCI/NCI/TAC/PLMN being ignored. Resolved issues with web data export function. Updated internal libraries. Updated provider database. Updated target API to Android 15. I appreciate all of your support, and a big thank you to the members of the Beta Crew that help with testing and feedback!
    • Oct security update is out.
    • Stopped by again today and the antennas are up but it isn't live just yet. If other Sprint conversions are anything to go by it'll likely take about a month for the site to go live.
    • It is an Android bug that was reportedly fixed in August 2023 but definitely has not been. I have implemented numerous workarounds in SCP to correct the NR bands the app displays. The OS ignores the possibility that many NR-ARFCNs are valid across multiple bands.. it reports the lowest NR band that is valid for the current ARFCN. In your example, channel 432530 can be n1, n65, or n66.. so the OS just (lazily) reports n1.   Awesome, thanks! I will add an n65 override also.
    • Yeah both of those instances were on my AT&T s22 ultra. Seems ro be working as intended today in latest release.
