Hello everyone here at s4gru! I just joined yesterday after lurking for around a month. I've been with Sprint for nearly 5 currently and my first cell service was with Sprint back when they were SprintPCS with their older logo when they first started "Sprint vision" with the very first color screen flip phones. Back then if you wanted a camera, it was a separate attachment. I also had t-mobile for about 4 years in between there. I currently have an HTC Evo 3d and previously had a Samsung Moment.

 

Honestly, I was going to dump Sprint due to wimax never working out and 3g being terrible. I also roam on vzw at my dad's house in IA and at Vero Beach when I visit my mom. It was because of this site that I began learning just how close and how vast Sprint's plan is to improve their network. In the past month, I have noticed my 3g has been more reliable and faster and it gives me hope for better coverage and speed in the future. I wish Sprint was more open with their customers because without this great resource, my wife and I would have been lost to them. There are some really passionate and intelligent people here and I just wanted to say I appreciate y'all and I am happy to join in.

Hi Dave thanks for becoming a member. I'm in Jacksonville Florida. There's a lot of info on this site and because of this I'm going to renew my contract for two more years. Also I see you have an evo 3d hold out until tri band phones are released.

I was going to get a S4 until I learned from this site about tri band lte. Now I am waiting for most likely the LG G2 or Galaxy variant with tri band, but it's not easy waiting to try out lte now. I see lots of people here from Jax. Go Jags, I can't wait to see how we do this season.

Welcome! You can put me in the "from Jax" column as well!

 

Glad to hear that you've learned a lot from this site, as have I!

 

Hold-out until the TriBand phones drop and in-the-meantime, enjoy the 1.9ghz PCS LTE, as Sprint continues to roll-out Network Vision updates in our area. We're about 51% finished in the Jax metro area (which includes St. Auggy). Lots of room for improvement. I'm already starting to see my data speeds increase, as NV coverage increases.

I hear ya. There's some places where Wimax is really nice but LTE tops it a lot of the time. However, while LTE 1900 is quite common here, I'd strongly recommend waiting at least another month or 2 for a triband device. Lg is announcing the g2 on August 7th, so we might get a release date from them then.

 

On the other note, go Jags!

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By JossMan · Posted

      Your referring to the $25.00 a month Infinite Unlimited plan?  I don't see any other plans on there even cheaper than that on their website.  I was looking at the Motorola 2023 Edge fwiw as well for $10.00 a month.

      T-Mobile to acquire UScellular

      By iansltx · Posted

      A heavy n41 overlay as an acquisition condition would be a win for customers, and eventually a win for T-Mobile as that might be enough to preclude VZW/AT&T adding C-Band for FWA due to spreading the market too thinly (which means T-Mobile would just have local WISPs/wireline ISPs as competition). USCC spacing (which is likely for contiguous 700 MHz LTE coverage in rural areas) isn't going to be enough for contiguous n41 anyway, and I doubt they'll densify enough to get there.

      Boost Infinite with a rainbow SIM (you can get it SIM-only) is the cheapest way, at $25/mo, to my knowledge; the cheaper Boost Mobile plans don't run on Dish native. Check Phonescoop for n70 support on a given phone; the Moto G 5G from last year may be the cheapest unlocked phone with n70 though data speeds aren't as good as something with an X70 or better modem.

      Official Tmobile-Sprint merger discussion thread

      By iansltx · Posted

      Continuing the USCC discussion, if T-Mobile does a full equipment swap at all of USCC's sites, which they probably will for vendor consistency, and if they include 2.5 on all of those sites, which they probably will as they definitely have economies of scale on the base stations, that'll represent a massive capacity increase in those areas over what USCC had, and maybe a coverage increase since n71 will get deployed everywhere and B71 will get deployed any time T-Mobile has at least 25x25, and maybe where they have 20x20. Assuming this deal goes through (I'm betting it does), I figure I'll see contiguous coverage in the area of southern IL where I was attempting to roam on USCC the last time I was there, though it might be late next year before that switchover happens.

      Forgot to post this, but a few weeks ago I got to visit these small cells myself! They're spread around Grant park and the surrounding areas, but unfortunately none of the mmwave cells made it outside of the parks along the lake into the rest of downtown. I did spot some n41 small cells around downtown, but they seemed to be older deployments limited to 100mhz and performed poorly.
