Well apparently my mother who works at GM hasn't been able to text or use the phone period since 11:15PM. It shows bars but no service. I lost the ability to call text and use data 40 minutes ago and still nothing. She said she was just able to use her phone again. I've reset my phone ect ect and still nothing. Go outside and walk around and still can't.. weird

For the last two or so weeks up here I've been randomly losing service for a few minutes it typically comes back fairly quickly. I'm not sure if it has anything to do with NV upgrades or a general network issue. I'm of course hoping it's NV related.

Probably related to network vision.

 

A few months ago, I tried calling 911 because of a fire alarm - tried calling multiple times with Sprint phone and 911 call would not go through.

 

Thankfully, my T-Mobile phone worked fine - and thankfully, there is a fire alarm pull outside on the sidewalk.

Just got through dealing with the same thing in my area. It lasted about a month or so and was EXTREMELY frustrating to the point where I almost went to get a vzw prepaid just to make and take phone calls. Hard to win people over to Sprint when I'm yelling at my phone as if the phone and Sprint could hear me.

 

Then the 3G upgrades in our little cluster came online and it was like night and day. Data was wonky for about week afterward but wow is the signal awesome and solid. There is a site in this cluster that all service has been off and on though.

I know. It showed bars and 4G/3G. There was just nothing there. Texts failed, no pages loaded ect. The bars stayed grey and didn't light up. But text MMS's have failed alot in the past 3 weeks. I've had to separate the mms texts.

I never noticed this when they were upgrading my towers, I only experienced a lower signal to the point that I had to get an airave at home. I don't even know if I need it anymore haven't turned it off since I got it.

I have the airave.. lol But it's a POS I'm trying to get it replaced with one of the new hotspots. 800 is the only usable signal i get and i have to do PRL updates. But then i switch to 1900 and I can't make a call without it dropping.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By dkyeager · Posted

      Dish network down since 3:31am Signalcheck Pro reports the Dish Network, at least the site at Scioto-Darby Rd Near I-270  in Columbus Ohio, was last operational at 3:31am. I normally pickup signal from two other Dish sites as well.  Reported via downdetector.com as Boost Infinite but one is such a lonely number. Tried to manually reconnect to Dish, but network is not appearing. Hopefully scheduled maintenance.

      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
