I had this happen a couple times a few days ago. In fact it was 30 seconds of dead air before I just hung up and redialed the number, it went through fine the next time. I know I wasn't just not hearing a ringback tone, cuz the other parties VM would've picked up by the time I hung up if that were the case. 

 

Other then that my calls go through as soon as I hit dial, unless I have low signal of course.

Hmm how do you do this...

 

Ok...I've spent a little bit of time reading online trying to understand better how all of this works.  Seem to have it working a bit better now, and here's what I did:

 

1.  Remove current Sprint and Google Voice integration.

2.  Setup my Sprint voicemail with a new passcode, etc in case I end up with any voicemails there.

3.  On Google Voice website, have it create a new Google Voice number for you that is NOT your Sprint mobile number.  Do NOT replace your mobile number with the GV number or replace your GV number with your Sprint number.  Leave them separate.

4.  On your phone, dial *28xxxxxxxxxx  where the xxx  is your new GV number, then press Talk.  This will forward all No Answer/Busy calls to your GV number.

 

Hopefully this should do it.  My outgoing calls are immediate.  I seem to get GV notifications.  However, I still occasionally miss some of the incoming test calls I made but I don't think it's GV related anymore.

 

There is some additional info here about Sprint Call Forwarding:  https://community.sprint.com/baw/thread/101794

 

And make sure not to do Unconditional Call Forwarding because that will cost you $.20/min. and always send your calls to your GV number which is not what you want.  

 

Hopefully this will work better.  I guess I'll find out.

While the industry has seemingly standardized on VoLTE for the future, the demand for voice calls today has led LTE carriers to introduce CSFB as a stopgap measure. When placing or receiving a voice call, LTE handsets will fall back to old 2G or 3G networks for the duration of the call.This causes a delay. See Wikipedia ( 

LTE (telecommunication) Voice Calls

      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
