wonder what this tweet means from sprint news: "A new era of commitment & cust. srvc. begins tomorrow at 1:30pm CT & Chicago will lead the way #sprintforchicago pic.twitter.com/GvsC8o8ngi "

Who knows but maybe a carrier aggregation announcement!

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

I think they are going to push leasing with yearly upgrades... Offer some new way of testing their service... In select markets...and announce new stores from radio shack thing... Things we already knew here!

A testdrive program like TMO's - but longer - would be a good boost to sprint's fortunes.

 

The non tech crowd believe sprint sucks so no way will they transfer their number to test sprint but a "burner" phobe num with zero cost?

Why not?

That could almost be sprint's slogan.

Yeah I'm thinking that too. But with the statement "A new era of commitment" I immediately thought of network commitments since that's were sprint lacked in past eras and plus the event is in Chicago and Chicago has been sprints main priority market since NV1.0

You can already test with a burner phone number, if you like the service you can have your old number ported over your new line. A better trial without costs/fees, or a $700 hold on your credit card like T-Mobile does would be nice.

I hope too see new brand color scheme along with a new logo, the black and yellow and current emblem screams Dan Hesse.  Don't get me wrong Dan Hesse made great strides to improve Sprint with NV, LTE, and such but Marcelo is at the wheel now driving this company lets see some changes.

Maybe they are announcing a new call center in Chicago? I'm just guessing but a Commitment and new era of customer service in Chicago? That's what I get from it...

In a high tax state in a high tax city?

That'd be a big clue they're clueless.

For a call center maybe, but maybe this is a HQ move? Talent needs are much different if it is a HQ move. All pure speculation though.

 

I have a feeling this is really just the launch of the new Sprint - showcasing what Sprint can DELIVER with the right resources.

Apparently it is a Co announcement with Mayor Dead Fish Emanuel so likely some like of jobs announcement.

Well also looking closely at the poster, I do see something about additional LTE coverage planned.

 

From another Tweet:

 

"Sprint will announce its adding cell towers, opening stores & Chicago 1st city in the USA to get a faster network. "

 

So maybe it will be CA.

Looks like it's just a jobs announcement. 

 

Here's a live feed

 

http://digital.cityofchicago.org/index.php/video-2/

 

The guy talking is not a very smooth speaker.

 

Basically

 

1. We've made the chicago network great.

2. will be spending more to make it better

3. Opening a bunch of new stores this year to give customers a great experience.

 

Jobs Jobs Jobs.

 

FYI - Convenient with Chicago mayor's race in runoff election.

"AT&T’s median download speed decreased from 8.5 Mbps to 4.3 Mbps since August testing."

"T-Mobile’s median download speed decreased from 7.0 Mbps to 4.1 Mbps"

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      Yes! That does keep it from wandering off Dish and most importantly, reconnecting immediately (at least where there is n70). Thanks!

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By Trip · Posted

      I have my Dish phone locked to NR-only.  That keeps it on Dish and only occasionally will it see T-Mobile NR SA for brief periods before going to no service. I also don't have mine band locked beyond that, except that I have some of the unused bands turned off just to try to reduce scan time.  Fortunately, my Dish phone is the one with the MediaTek chipset, so it has NR neighbor cells, and I can usually see n71, n70, n66, and sometimes n29 (market-dependent) through those regardless of which band it's connected to as primary. - Trip

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By dkyeager · Posted

      Excuse my rookie comments here, but after enabling *#73#, it seems that the rainbow sim V2? requires n70 (I turned it off along with n71 - was hoping to track n66) to be available else it switches to T-Mobile.  So this confirms my suspicion that you need to be close to a site to get on Dish.  Have no idea why they don't just use plmn. To test, I put it into a s21 ultra, rebooted twice, came up on T-Mobile (no n70 on s21).  Tried to manually register on 313340, but it did not connect (tried twice). I am on factory unlocked firmware but used a s22 hack to get *#73# working.  Tried what you were suggesting with a T-Mobile sim partially installed, but that was very unstable with Dish ( I think they had figured that one out).  [edit: and now I see Boost sent me a successful device swap notice which says I can now begin to use my new device.  Sigh.  Will try again later and wait for this message - too impatient.]

      Hopefully this indicates T-Mobile hasn't completely abandoned mmwave and/or small cells? But then again this is the loop, so take that as you will. Hopefully now that most macro activity is done (besides rural colo/builds), they will start working on small cells.
