Hey, they might not have had it broadcasting until later. I didn't pick it up until I posted here about it. If it had been broadcasting earlier, I'm pretty sure I would have gotten it earlier. So it may have had nothing to do with your phone. Just bad timing.

Had to run my boss food from Collinsville to Alton(for a cool $50 lol). Mapped about 400 points in places in Alton that weren't mapped. Took 270 to 55/70 home and grabbed HEX for Maryville, 560EF##.Mapped about 50 points on that one I think...had to put the phone down cuz there were bears....uploading now.

I made a discovery today. Even though my GNex is not active, I can still use it to get 3 digit style serving cells! Also the site at Parker & New Halls Ferry that was 3G accepted a couple weeks ago is now in donut mode. 562A2##.

I guess the device still accesses the network even though the device isn't "activated"....

Its weird, It only says 4G above the bars sometimes. I only noticed it because i was trying to see if we could get it activated on my boss's line(nope) at the sprint store near the Florissant Aldi's site and I was playing with it to see what showed up in DEBUG. Sure enough i got 455. about 10 minutes later it said 4G above the bars. Went down the Lindbergh to New Halls Ferry and sure enough as we were passing the Parker and New Halls site I got 322. Also picked up a couple in Alton.

Yea its cool you can do that with an unactivated sprint device. an ATT or VZW wont do that without a SIM

If any of you St Chuck boys(or girls) are near Mexico and Bryan Rd remember to switch on Sensorly and plot it out.

You need 3 digit sids for this?

Sorry DaQue, didn't see that you were going until after I posted that. That tower has some crazy range to the north though. Check out sensorly when. Some zoom levels have my points already.

Could go 40 to 70 on your way to Mexico and Turtle Creek, just to see how long you have LTE after you get out of the Research park coverage.

    • 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.
    • 5G in the U.S. – Additional Mid-band Spectrum Driving Performance Gains T-Mobile holds on to it's lead in 5G Speed
    • 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....
