1xRTT is 153kbps max. That is what all of Sprint's cellular voice runs on.

 

Do you know about iDEN? Nextel Direct Connect was usually deployed to Public Safety Officials when something catastrophic happens.

Another point is that if you use VoIP, it only use about 100 Kbps of bandwidth, not much compared to a video chat. How much bandwidth does cellular voice runs on?

 

A lot less than 100 kbps. Most current cellular voice codecs are variable rate, based on a circuit switched max of 9.6 kbps or 14.4 kbps, but the variable rate nature tends to average actual voice data throughput to ~5 kbps.

I would think it would be similar to 1xRTT. I would expect them to start pulling that out of the COWs though.

I believe that Sprint Direct Connect runs on 1900 MHz, and Nextel Direct Connect runs on 800 MHz. I bet that Sprint may start augmenting the iDEN COWs very soon before hurricane season arrives.

Nextel iDEN does not use COWs. It uses antelope.

      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.
