Within the last week I started getting HD voice, while connected to wifi calling, when a Verizon user calls me.  However if i initiate the call instead HD voice is not there.  What gives?

Also, if i disconnect from wifi and use the cellular network (1x800), no HD voice no matter what.  its been so long so i can not remember but is there no HD voice on 1x?

HD Voice on 1x is only available between Sprint customers, I believe.  And between calling plus enabled devices.

1x Voice HD is Sprint to Sprint only.

HD voice using AMR-WB or EVS-WB is:

  • Calling Plus <--> Calling Plus (CP)
  •  Wifi Calling <--> Wifi Calling (WC)
  • WC <--> CP
  • VoLTE <--> VoLTE
  • VoLTE <--> WC
  • VoLTE <--> CP

 

HD Voice can be used during CP, WC, and VoLTE to another carriers network as well.

Best part is Shentel isn't on that tower.51fcc3e3dfc670b4beea34cb2e56fd5b.jpg

Shentel's on a different tower nearby though, I think.  I believe on the tall Exxon sign near I-81 and US-50.

I have record of AT&T and T-Mobile on that tower.  Am I correct in assuming Verizon is on it as well?  (Looks like T-Mobile is the bottom rack and AT&T the middle rack...)

You would be correct on all of that sir. If memory serves me correctly, the site on the Exxon sign was our frist B41 site.
I was at the new SU athletic/event center all day and every time I looked out the window it made me laugh. Per Google, the Exxon site is about 2000' away from there.

Good to know.  I just cant figure out why when I try to initiate the call on WC to Verizon, HD voice will not appear but the reverse it will (she calls me instead).  Everything else is the same.

I'm sure the settlement with AT&T (probably bad) is something else they're having to deal with.

What do we think about the cause of the delay being Sprint did well this past quarter and they got a really good deal in their settlement with AT&T? News like that could potentially kill the merger.

We think that isn't how these things work.

Not.

It is almost as if it was entirely predictable.

Which points pretty strongly to May 7th. If that date comes and goes then this post is appropriate...

I've already told David this but someone is now claiming Sprint hasn't released their results cause of pending lawsuit's for lieing to investors. Made up but the individual claiming that

Very Nice!

I hope they also get out of the cars and do walking tests as well. Give someone a backpack and a large power cell pack and send them off exploring the city. I would gladly do it... and get my steps in!

Hit him up on Twitter and he might send you a V50. Worth a shot lol. Sounds like a fun way to get the cardio in!

Numbers aren’t great .. 169 thousand in gains most of this is coming from prepaid migrations without this they only do 40K +. At a loss of 189K.. tough times at sprint.. and another loss of 539m free cash flow

Yeah. That’s true.

They’ve got 2.5 GHz on about 80% of their Macro Sites, 30,000 small cells (including mini macros and strand mounts), and about 1,500 Massive MIMO units.

This could have been much worse. However, at a certain point, Sprint will run out of road on its cost cutting initiatives.

They’re painting a honest picture now to get that merger approved.

 

 

They sound so boring over the phone. My God.

Ya, at this point there’s absolutely no justification for any further network growth as there is absolutely no return in investment.. if no merger, I think it’s a given sprint lowers capex immediately. Not trying to be super negative, but these numbers with debt that’s coming due. No way sprint as a stand alone keeps up spending on capex

I think the reason for the shareholder lawsuits is that these reports weren’t completely honest.... and because its FCC Filings painted an honest assessment of Sprint’s situation.

These investor reports do not contain the apocalyptic data/language that Sprint used in its FCC filings to support its case for a merger.

See the Sprint’s current liquidity status on page 20: https://investors.sprint.com/files/doc_financials/quarterly/2018/Q4/Fiscal-4Q18-Sprint-Quarterly-Investor-Update-FINAL.pdf

It seems it’s starting to get thin...

I listened to the Investor's Relations webcast...   I was so difficult to listen to.   I don't even know who Sprint had speaking as I didn't recognize 2 of them.    No more Marcelo, as I know.. he's moved on...  nothing from the CTO, ...    they didn't really offer many answers to many questions... kind of Rubbish.   Just makes me hope the merger happens soon.    The last question and answer:  Basically the out look on Sprint's future if the merger doesn't go through?  Answer:  Sprint will not be able to operate as a national carrier as we know it.  They will be unable to compete with the others.

    • 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.
    • 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.    
    • What is the cheapest way to try Dish's wireless network?  Over the past year I've seen them add their equipment to just about every cell site here, I'm assuming just go through Boost's website?  What phones are Dish native?
