Network Vision/LTE - Colorado Market (Denver/Colo Springs/Fort Collins/Pueblo/Grand Jct)

Sa-weet! 800 is already making its first appearance in CO. Had my first voice call over 800 a few days ago at ORD. Didn't really think there was much difference with quality of the call, but I certainly did have better reception in what used to be marginal signal areas. 

How can you tell you were talking over 800?

Signal Check Pro app. You can set it up to alert you when you connect to LTE or an 800 tower. 

Thanks, just purchased.

I think I'm as excited about the 800 SMR switchover as I am about LTE. I live in a big gap in voice coverage, even roaming coverage sucks. Hoping that 800 will snake it's way around the terrain a little better and give me a few bars of service at home.

I believe they get the service got free

kinda hard to read there buddy, but yes, they do get the service for free, they just have to pay full price for the phones.

Oh that's good news, our company is about to be bought by Sprint (clearwire)

 

I wonder what they do for the 3 other lines I have with them?

 

The people I know that work for Sprint get a 25% employee discount, but no free lines...   ?

It seems as though another tower has gone live. It is in Brighton off of Bridge St. & N 42nd Ave. :)

 

Yep. Shows up in the sponsors maps quite nicely.

That doesn't make sense, are they directly employed by Sprint?

So are employees supposed to get a free line and 25% off additional lines? What about wifi hotspots?

 

Nope, I've never heard of that 25% off additional lines. Are these corporate/retail employees?

Retail, I guess. Work in the Sprint stores in KC.

 

Nope, that's not the standard employee plan though. Perhaps they work for an authorized dealer?

Sensorly shows "4g" coverage in castle rock... is this true not wimax but 4g which I assume is LTE

Sensorly's map for Sprint 4G shows LTE only. They have a seperate map for WIMAX labled WIMAX.

    • Kind of amazing that T-Mobile is still holding onto that speed title despite Verizon all but killing off lowband 5G on their network. While Verizon is mostly being evaluated on mmWave and C-band performance, T-Mobile and AT&T's average 5G speeds include their massive lowband 5G networks that are significantly slower.

    • Yup. Very true. We were originally on an Everything Data 1500 Plan, which got Unlimited Minutes thanks to Marcelo's "Loyalty Benefits" offer. We then switched to Unlimited Freedom (with the Free HD add-on that Sprint originally wanted $20/month per line for.... remember that?) because the pricing was better with "iPhone for Life", vs. the "Loyalty Credit" for staying on a Legacy Plan. After that, I ran the numbers and switched us over to Sprint MAX, especially for the international travel benefits. There's absolutely no reason for us to switch to Go5G Plus or Go5G Next if we're going to do BYOD by purchasing from Apple/Samsung/Google directly as we've been doing. These new plans aren't priced for current customers to switch to. They're priced for new customers, where they throw in a free line, etc. It's gone from "Uncarrier" to "Carrier". What a shame.
    • Strange business model that they keep around all these pricing plans. 1000s of plans per carrier is reportedly not uncommon.  Training customer support must be a nightmare. Even MVNOs have legacy plans. A downside of their contract mentality I guess. Best to change contracts during a recession. But then all carriers try to squeeze out legacy plan benefits as they grow old.  
    • Everything "Uncarrier" is becoming "Carrier" again. Because of the Credit Limit that T-Mobile put on our account for no reason at all (and wouldn't change/update the last time I checked all the way up to the CEO), I don't plan on buying/upgrading our iPhones through T-Mobile. I'm going through Apple directly. Looks like I'll be going through Google and Samsung directly for our other lines for upgrades. Also, we're staying on Sprint Max given the ridiculous pricing for Go5G Plus. On Sprint Max, we currently pay for our Plan: $260 for 7 Voice Lines $25 for two Wearable Lines. (One is $10/Month. The other is $15/Month because the AutoPay discount only applies up to 8 lines.) Total: $285/Month vs. Go5G Plus (Per the Broadband Facts "nutrition label" on the T-Mobile Website): https://www.t-mobile.com/commerce/cell-phone-plans $360 - ($5 AutoPay Discount x 7 Voice Lines) = $325 The Watch Plans show as either $12/Month or $15/Month: https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans/affordable-data-plans/smartwatches So this is about the same for the wearables as what we're paying now. Overall, it's quite more than we're paying now to switch plans. Ridiculous....
