jefbal99 Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 I had to disable VoLTE in west Michigan. When my phone was consistently connecting to the MB in my house, it was great. However, I haven't connected to it in three weeks that I've seen. I wish I could figure out why, other devices connect fine. The call quality was too choppy on the macro network or roaming on TMobile. Too many calls that had to be hung up and started over to get a flowing data session.

I hope the new TMobile works their magic on this because data wise band 41 is awesome. I would go so far as to say it even over delivers (especially indoors it goes much farther than people had imagined). I think Sprint's network is fantastic most places I go - a stark difference from early 2012 when I couldn't even watch a you tube video on useless 3G at 150 kbps. Let's get this fixed, guys.

RedSpark Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Sprint is now offering 5G access across all of its unlimited service plans. That's a change from when Sprint first launched 5G last year; the service was restricted to its most expensive unlimited plan at that time. How about that... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speed rating is coming soon, it has already made it's way to AT&T business plans. One of the reasons Sprint is in its current predicament is that not enough “free year” or kickstart customers upgraded to higher tiers of service. Instead they churned out In droves, which cost Sprint a lot of money over the years. You can’t offer everything at each service plan level. Not offering 5G on the cheapest service plan is simply plan differentiation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimBob Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 I have 3 Sprint lines on "Unlimited Plan v2" and would like more than 500MB of mobile hotspot data. T-Mobile's basic "Magenta" plan provides 3GB of mobile hotspot data. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dro1984 Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Looks like VoLTE comes to Detroit 2/24. Just received a Sprint Text Message saying your device will receive a software update to enable VoLTE and disable Calling Plus permanently. T Mobile related or Sprint actually getting network ready for transition? Seems VoLTE around here is about 1-2 years late. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dro1984 Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 (edited) I don't believe VoLTE was available everywhere. Are you in Virginia? Is it worth using VoLTE? What is the benefit? Edited February 20, 2020 by dro1984 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the benefit? The benefit is you can be on the phone and using data with true QOS unlike Calling Plus. I personally love it cause you can't MMS without it unless using WiFi Calling or the shitty Calling Plus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flompholph Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 More likely an s9 upgrade than a market upgrade. Unless you are saying southern part of your market launched Volte years ago and just now detroit is launching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ingenium Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 I don't believe VoLTE was available everywhere. Are you in Virginia? Is it worth using VoLTE? What is the benefit? It's definitely worth using in my opinion. Call quality is quite a bit better than 1x. I've had issues with robo garble and congested 1x for at least 6-7 years now. It was so bad I quit using my Sprint number and uses Google Voice VoIP instead, since every other word was cutting out. VoLTE lets me actually use my Sprint number again.Sent from my Pixel 4 XL using Tapatalk 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paynefanbro Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 OpenSignal tested every carrier's 5G network and determined that Sprint had the fastest average combined 4G/5G speeds out of the big 4. Quote Taking into account both time on 5G and average download speeds, out of the five consumer 5G services tested, only Sprint exceeded the 100 Mbps threshold in average combined 4G/5G download speed tests. Despite offering slower average 5G download speeds than mmWave, Sprint’s mid-band 5G had a much greater impact on our combined download speed — which averaged 109.8 Mbps — because we were able to connect to 5G almost half of the time. https://www.opensignal.com/2020/02/20/how-att-sprint-t-mobile-and-verizon-differ-in-their-early-5g-approach 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
