No they don't. Sprint doesn't need even more terrible maps.

 

The last tmobile coverage map was far superior.

I'm not talking about the shading but the user generated part. I should have been more specific

Yeah, I hate the new T-Mobile map.  Still have the old one open in a tab and it still works, but no idea how long that will last and the first time I have to close my browser, I assume that's gone.

Speaking of new website designs... looks like S4GRU got a facelift too!

Yup, and it looks great. How about you, what do you think?

Looks like they're back to the old site.

 

They are probably testing it with a certain percentage of visitors to see how they interact with it. I bet in the next few months we will see it take hold across the enterprise. Hopefully, this will coincide with a redesign of the front and back ends of MySprint.

Now if only Sprint could update its own coverage maps to a better GUI without having to pan so much on that tiny square that would be great especially if they are doing sitewide website redesign.

One step forward, and two steps back.  It's like a country song.

Or a drunk leaving a bar at 2AM, one...step...forward, two...steps...back...one...stepgawhasapl faceplant.  :P

I like the new look. But I can't seem to be able to do a hardware swap on the "new" or "old" site. I have chatted with Sprint and no can figure it out!  

 

Can an anyone else sill swap phones online anymore?

 

Thanks,

Looks like the new design is primary for Sprint.com, but it isn't playing nice with legacy parts of the site. Hopefully this is just a temporary glitch as a new UX takes hold.

I'm on a Family Share plan.... and haven't been able to see "Shared" Usage meter at the top of page listing all my devices nor the page that shows you the Shared Usage along with each individual device usage... I hope this is just a glitch, anyone else have this problem?

I like the new design of Sprint's website a lot.

 

Although, I'm wondering if they are using Squarespace/Squarefront for their website now :

 

http://squarefront.com/

 

The interface looks similar.

I can assure you that Sprint is using an enterprise-grade content management system. The style may be similar by design, but this is all the work of internal creative/agency partners.

Thanks for informing me.

 

Both interfaces look very good, as I've even considered using Squarespace for a personal blog site.

 

Anyways, I'm glad to see Sprint updating their site. The new design looks vastly better than the old one.

It's a good refresh, but I'm still upset to not see an updated coverage map. Their current one is just too small and hideous. There isn't any word on that, is there? They had a survey a month or two ago, but that's about it, I think.

I've filled out that survey 3 times now. 3 different computers it popped up for me, so I filled it out. Hopefully they've heard from enough of us by now.

I'd like to see a full page coverage map, or something close to it, where it isn't as difficult to do zooming, and everything to be a bit clearer on it, as well.

I filled it out twice I believe. I'd like to see a map using either Google/Bing, far bigger with a full screen or expandable option, and Sprint needs to change their algorithms. Sprint is the only carrier that actually sometimes claims less coverage than is proven on crowd-source maps (cover near borderline roaming areas is underrepresented and they claim roaming where they sometimes have a stronger signal than other carriers). It needs to be at least on par with reality.

That's the first I've heard that. Generally coverage is overstated. It's gotten better, particularly LTE (B25) representation, at least in the markets I spend time in. However, Spark coverage is still grossly overstated here.

They all do, but I doubt I'm the only person to say they're too generous when marking the roaming areas.

      T-Mobile to acquire UScellular

      By iansltx · Posted

      A heavy n41 overlay as an acquisition condition would be a win for customers, and eventually a win for T-Mobile as that might be enough to preclude VZW/AT&T adding C-Band for FWA due to spreading the market too thinly (which means T-Mobile would just have local WISPs/wireline ISPs as competition). USCC spacing (which is likely for contiguous 700 MHz LTE coverage in rural areas) isn't going to be enough for contiguous n41 anyway, and I doubt they'll densify enough to get there.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      Boost Infinite with a rainbow SIM (you can get it SIM-only) is the cheapest way, at $25/mo, to my knowledge; the cheaper Boost Mobile plans don't run on Dish native. Check Phonescoop for n70 support on a given phone; the Moto G 5G from last year may be the cheapest unlocked phone with n70 though data speeds aren't as good as something with an X70 or better modem.

      Official Tmobile-Sprint merger discussion thread

      Continuing the USCC discussion, if T-Mobile does a full equipment swap at all of USCC's sites, which they probably will for vendor consistency, and if they include 2.5 on all of those sites, which they probably will as they definitely have economies of scale on the base stations, that'll represent a massive capacity increase in those areas over what USCC had, and maybe a coverage increase since n71 will get deployed everywhere and B71 will get deployed any time T-Mobile has at least 25x25, and maybe where they have 20x20. Assuming this deal goes through (I'm betting it does), I figure I'll see contiguous coverage in the area of southern IL where I was attempting to roam on USCC the last time I was there, though it might be late next year before that switchover happens.

      Forgot to post this, but a few weeks ago I got to visit these small cells myself! They're spread around Grant park and the surrounding areas, but unfortunately none of the mmwave cells made it outside of the parks along the lake into the rest of downtown. I did spot some n41 small cells around downtown, but they seemed to be older deployments limited to 100mhz and performed poorly.

      What is the cheapest way to try Dish's wireless network?  Over the past year I've seen them add their equipment to just about every cell site here, I'm assuming just go through Boost's website?  What phones are Dish native?
