The Austin area is having issues with voice and text messages on Sprint today. Data seems to work ok. I have heard through the grapevine that Sprint CS is reporting issues may persist until Friday. Strangely my AT&T phone is also affected.

The only way your AT&T Phone would be affected is if both AT&T and Sprint where using the same back haul provider on the same towers (in the case of microwave), but then it'd also affect 3G. I'm not sure if it could be network vision related either because I don't know where Austin is on the schedule, but if it where to be I still doubt there would be any issue with your AT&T service.

It is an odd situation. I lean towards an issue with a some centralized switch instead of backhual but that's just a hunch. Maybe some insider can shed more light on what has/is happening.

This is a known issue I think. I do know that it is not a weather related outage and there was also a news report on it:

Also it appears to be just Central and parts of North Austin. I live S. near Sunset Valley and have had no outages. I did have hops into roaming frequently heading up 360 yesterday though.

 

edit: Confirmed 170 site outages.

      Confirmed on my way to work this morning and while out on lunch that the only Sprint sites I connected to were keep sites. All others seem to now be offline at least around Louisville and Shepherdsville KY.

      It is pretty easy to use, once you get the hang of it. For example, to select a specific LTE Band(s) Click on [7] --Clear selected bands Click on [5] LTE Band Preferences Click on the specific band(s) you want to enable.  Click on [F] Go Main Click on [9] --Apply band configuration The same holds for NR5G, just you would click on [5] NR5G Band preferences instead of [5] LTE Band Preferences To re-enable all bands: Click on [8] --Select all bands Click on [9] --Apply band configuration

      Got the Android 12 based upgrade today with May 2022 security.  They now have favorites in contacts. Have not yet figured out how to get rid of the google/T-Mobile screen. Wall paper changes.

      25/26 are still on here, though the site historically nearest me has been decom'd. I did have to cycle to B26 and then B25 to get my phone to lock on, as going directly to B25 landed me on AT&T MFBI. Will be interesting to see how long 25/26 stay on; it's hard to connect to Sprint B41 here as there's plenty of T-Mobile B41 on n41 sites.

      Looks like the remaining Sprint network might be dead here now. Forcing my phone to B25 or B26 gives me no network, sad day for sure.
