So we keep unlimited for individual plans. For $60 no less.

You even have the option of upgrading every year.

I also notice that sprints LTE is better on LTE only mode on the nexus 5. Sprints towers will cut you down from a LTE signal even if its usable to unusable 3g often if you hit -120dbm. Yes I have seen -120dbm provide 2-3mbps on LTE. Im just glad the csfb issues are over. I was going batshit.

 

I just used the term 'batshit crazy' with my secretary a few seconds before reading this.  I keep getting calls from (409) 123-4567 on both my work phone and personal phone, several times a day.  They seem to be hitting my area code hard based on reports from others in my area.  YEEEARGH!

Terrell, you know you're the only person on this entire forum that replies to posts and puts your response on top of the quoted part of the post (as opposed to directly underneath it).

 

Drives me crazy.  

 

That is all  :)

Well, I live in NJ, work in NY, have travelled to Philly, Miami, Orlando, Los Angeles, Chicago, Boston, and Las Vegas within the past year.

 

4G for the areas that I need it for NJ/NY is simply unusable, that's why I turn LTE off.  Philly was pretty good for couple of places that I was at but not too much in some other areas. Chicago was decent in the one hotel that I stayed at and around that area.  Boston, Miami, Orlando and Las Vegas are all pretty bad LTE wise and just usable on 3G.  Los Angeles can be bad or good as I was driving around the different places.

 

So based on my experience above, that's my definition of most places.  Not necessary everyone's experience.

 

It's weird in Jersey. Depending on where you are makes the difference. I use my phone in Edgewater, North Bergen, Hoboken, etc. without any issues with LTE, but I know once you go deeper into Bergen County, it gets tougher.

That's how I troll I'm mean roll. Lmao

 

If I use Tapatalk I do it the correct way but if I use the mobile site then my posts can be very sloppy. You must be OCD about that.

Yup.  I have a full Framily and I just bumped up to the unlimited option from 3GB on my line.  I just wanted to be safe and get that option before it possibly was changed or removed.  With my employee discount it is $41.40.  I will try to keep that as long as my Framily does not fall apart but it is good to know I have this plan to fall back on.

I really don't understand why anyone would pay an extra $5x 12 months ($60! *on top of the easy pay payment*), to upgrade every year, have to return the old phone, and continue paying easy pay payments, and never 'own' the device.

 

Really, just start putting your phones on a credit card, you can upgrade as often as your credit card balance allows, and you get to keep the phone(s) to re-sell (to pay off your credit card or profit!) or reuse/give away to family friends.

Yea, not sure how it works. Same everywhere I think. I gave up on having LTE around the area due to the inconsistencies. It easier for me to simply use 3G than having to turn off 4G because my phone insist on going to 4G that doesn't work.

 

 

I simply enable it when I am in a different city to use it when it's good. WIFI has been my friend at home and work.

 

Anyway, I will give them few more months to see if things improve before doing some comparison shopping.

I had to join in the Twitter fun, couldn't help myself after his latest tweet:  https://twitter.com/Sprint4Grollout/status/502569655811444736

Hmm wonder if they could throttle on their Edge network... Hmm back to true dial up it would be.

Oh God, at that point it would be faster to shout "101010011101010110101" out your window and hope Legere can hear you.

    • I think the push for them is adding US Mobile as a MVNO with a priority data plan.  Ultimately, making people more aware of priority would allow them (and other carriers) to differentiate themselves from MVNOs like Consumer Cellular that advertise the same coverage. n77 has dramatically reduced the need for priority service at Verizon where the mere functioning of your phone was in jeopardy a couple of years ago if you had a low priority plan like Red Pocket. Only have heard of problems with T-Mobile in parts of Los Angeles. AT&T fell in between. All had issues at large concerts and festivals, or sporting events if your carrier has no on-site rights. Edit: Dishes native 5g network has different issues: not enough sites, limited bandwidth. Higher priority would help a few. Truth is they can push phones to AT&T or T-Mobile.
    • Tracfone AT&T sims went from QCI 8 to 9 as well a couple years ago. I'm pretty neutral towards AT&T's turbo feature here, the only bad taste left was for those who had unadvertised QCI 7 a couple months ago moved down to 8. In my eyes it would have been a lot better for AT&T to include turbo in those Premium/Elite plans for free to keep them at QCI 7, while also introducing this turbo add on option for any other plans or devices. As it stands now only a handful of plans can add it, and only if you're using a device on a random list of devices AT&T considers to be 5G smartphones.
    • My Red Pocket AT&T GSMA account was dropped to QCI 9 about a year ago.  Most recently 8 for the last few years prior.  Voice remains at 5.
    • https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2024/05/att-announces-7-monthly-add-on-fee-for-turbo-5g-speeds/ Hopefully we don't ever see T-Mobile do something like this. Based on how I was treated with my Credit Limit, it's definitely not the same company it was before the merger, and it's entirely possible they'd try it.
