Yes.

Would be nice to see, the one bar I go to is basically a roaming hotspot for me, always get stuck on useless Verizon not that I ever got 3G but it would be nice to have a usable connection.

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

Perhaps the bar would benefit from a Magic Box? Talk to the owner and tell him/her it's free and would benefit all Sprint customers.

Anyone else getting a huge influx of spam calls lately? I am getting about 10 a day from all over the country. It's getting really ridiculous. You pick up and answer and it's nothing but silence, they occasionally leave a voicemail that says something about healthcare...

I wonder if Sprint is selling our info? Verizon does, but they have an opt out option online.

And looking at the Rootmetrics (a source you often quote) for other major Northeastern cities, they are, almost always, in last place. There is a lot of room for improvement. SprintNYC is 110% correct.

 

People fixate on placement, especially first or last place.  But that is flawed human thinking.

 

With four major networks, one always is going to be last, you know.  Even if a massive merger consolidates all four down to three, one still will be last, be that nationwide or somewhere, someplace.

 

Fourth place in the 100 m at the Olympics, for example, is not slow.  Similarly, last place in RootMetrics does not mean slow, unusable, or poor.  It could mean last by fractions of points.

I wonder how many people in here thinks it is Sprint selling info, in which by law they can't. But haven't figured out that Google is known for doing it and you give em your info everyday.

And add Facebook divisions, and any other social media you use, and don't forget the yahoo breach.

I don't know who or care who is doing it but it needs to stop, really pissing me off.

For starters, telemarketers have called 3 of the lines on my account specifically mentioning my name. I don't use 2 of those lines (other family members use them) and the only connection I have to them is my name on the bill.

 

The only people that know my association to those lines is family/friends and Sprint.

Yes. It is interesting to see that AT&T LTE was preferred over 3G though…very interesting indeed…

I was quite shocked because 3G EVDO is strong where I was but my phone decided to hop on over to AT&T's B2.

On average, I receive 2 of these spam calls a day. They are very effing annoying. If the call is a "press 1 now to speak to a representative" and I find myself not preoccupied with something else, I will troll them. Want to waste my time?? Well, let me waste yours by putting you on hold while I eternally look for my credit card.

 

If it is a machine asking questions, I hang up immediately! They try to record you saying "Yes" in order to charge you collect or sign you up for services.

 

Lucky for me, the Google dialer is very good at picking these spam calls out and warning me. Very impressive that this feature even works without simultaneous Voice and Data.

I don't even get that it's just silence when I pick up.

This shouldn't be happening. Sprint phones should prefer 1x native data over roaming all the time. I'm assuming this is an issue that arises from the technological differences in 3GPP vs 3GPP2??

I used to get a lot of spam calls on my cell line too. I stared entering the numbers into sprints auto block list for my phone line.

Seemed to work because I haven't been called in over a year by a robot or any telemarketers.

 

Sprint.com>my preferences>block voice>click on ur phone>select the radio button for block only phone numbers on this list>enter each phone number manually and they will be forever blocked on your line

Tell the owner if you got better coverage you'd spend more time at the bar and spend more money on drinks. :-)

 

It would be true, right?

I wonder if the drunks at the bar might mistake Sprint's Magic Box as some sort of gambling machine.

Only if you put a pipe arm on the side. :-)

I wonder if he's there to discuss the Sprint/T-Mobile merger.

So far, he's met with some Senators:

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      Definite usage quirks in hunting down these sites with a rainbow sim in a s24 ultra. Fell into a hole yesterday so sent off to T-Mobile purgatory. Try my various techniques. No Dish. Get within binocular range of former Sprint colocation and can see Dish equipment. Try to manually set network and everybody but no Dish is listed.  Airplane mode, restart, turn on and off sim, still no Dish. Pull upto 200ft from site straight on with antenna.  Still no Dish. Get to manual network hunting again on phone, power off phone for two minutes. Finally see Dish in manual network selection and choose it. Great signal as expected. I still think the 15 minute rule might work but lack patience. (With Sprint years ago, while roaming on AT&T, the phone would check for Sprint about every fifteen minutes. So at highway speed you could get to about the third Sprint site before roaming would end). Using both cellmapper and signalcheck.net maps to hunt down these sites. Cellmapper response is almost immediate these days (was taking weeks many months ago).  Their idea of where a site can be is often many miles apart. Of course not the same dataset. Also different ideas as how to label a site, but sector details can match with enough data (mimo makes this hard with its many sectors). Dish was using county spacing in a flat suburban area, but is now denser in a hilly richer suburban area.  Likely density of customers makes no difference as a poorer urban area with likely more Dish customers still has country spacing of sites.

      Mike if you need more Dish data, I have been hunting down sites in western Columbus.  So far just n70 and n71 reporting although I CA all three.

      Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.
