Figures... So I'm outside taking out the garbage and miss the call from Sprint about the magic Box. But they left a voicemail and said that due to my location, I am not qualified to get the magic Box. But that they have other things that are available.

 

Oh well.

I have to tell you all I am near tears right now.  I am so stoked that Marcelo listened to us, directly.  I am sure he listened to all the feedback he heard.  But I believe S4GRU was influential in th

Maybe he's outside of the city limits. He'll tweet as soon as he's back in town with a data connection.

Are you considered as being in a Sprint Plus according to the map?

I was approved even though my closest tower does have b41 with 3xCA but is not on the map.

So how is Sprint doing 4xCA? The HTC U11 supports it on Sprint so I'm curious. Will it require new antennas?

So I wonder if the GS8 will eventually support 4xCA, since they have the same Snapdragon?

That's a good question. It was supposed to. It supports it on att. We do know the S8 Supports upload CA.

Also strange that the HTC U11 has a sd 835 but uses bluetooth 4.2 still. Hopefully the S8 get a 4XCA update but if it doesn't it's not a big deal.

Is that phone a Sprint exclusive?

The HTC website says you can pre-order it for Sprint or VZW or unlocked that works on T-Mobile or AT&T.

 

And you can only pre-order the blue color for Sprint.  Unlocked and VZW version has 2 other colors available.

Wow. First Sprint phone to support B66. Even if the S8 doesn't support 4xca I bet the note 8 will.

Airave 3 LTE will hopefully be released in the next month or so from what I've heard.

      https://www.lightreading.com/6g/5g-advanced-arrives-with-3gpp-s-release-18 Wonder how long until T-Mobile moves on this? My guess is some by the Galaxy S25 in January or February.

      Kind of amazing that T-Mobile is still holding onto that speed title despite Verizon all but killing off lowband 5G on their network. While Verizon is mostly being evaluated on mmWave and C-band performance, T-Mobile and AT&T's average 5G speeds include their massive lowband 5G networks that are significantly slower.

      Yup. Very true. We were originally on an Everything Data 1500 Plan, which got Unlimited Minutes thanks to Marcelo's "Loyalty Benefits" offer. We then switched to Unlimited Freedom (with the Free HD add-on that Sprint originally wanted $20/month per line for.... remember that?) because the pricing was better with "iPhone for Life", vs. the "Loyalty Credit" for staying on a Legacy Plan. After that, I ran the numbers and switched us over to Sprint MAX, especially for the international travel benefits. There's absolutely no reason for us to switch to Go5G Plus or Go5G Next if we're going to do BYOD by purchasing from Apple/Samsung/Google directly as we've been doing. These new plans aren't priced for current customers to switch to. They're priced for new customers, where they throw in a free line, etc. It's gone from "Uncarrier" to "Carrier". What a shame.

      Strange business model that they keep around all these pricing plans. 1000s of plans per carrier is reportedly not uncommon.  Training customer support must be a nightmare. Even MVNOs have legacy plans. A downside of their contract mentality I guess. Best to change contracts during a recession. But then all carriers try to squeeze out legacy plan benefits as they grow old.
