This is the first time in many years that my wife and I wont be upgrading from our iPhone 11 Pro's.  Previous years, I am pretty sure we simply paid $100 down, did iphone forever, and paid the $41.xx a month for our 256gb versions.  This year, Sprint site wants $350 down with reduced monthly payments.  Just seems much less attractive this way, so we are skipping.   😕  

It is because it is financing, right?
You aren't leasing it.

Very Good point.  Somebody tell management to quit fooling around with the silly "perks' and silly discounts for only certain people.

This is costing a lot of money and gets next to no retained customers. I do not stay with a cell phone company for a "Popeyes" anything.  I and most other people want excellent service and none of the Tuesday Giveaways.   Spend all your cash on improvements to the network and stop all the playing around.  If you have to give away a Burger King sandwich to hold onto a customer, you must have a bad network.  Get a good network and you will not have to give away hamburgers.

You do know that T-Mobile makes money with the Tuesday app right?

T-Mobile makes money when you use it for any 'free' items.

Why divide it by states? Metro areas subzidize most rural areas, at least for things likes roads and cell service.

Without rural areas, metro areas wouldn't even exist, for one simple reason, food. That is before you get to any other reason.

Why divide anything? All areas are needed.

LTE works.  CDMA does not.  Got it specifically for CDMA.

Have you tried powering it off for a night, let it cool down, then plug it in the next day.
See if the CDMA works then.

Improved CA is what I have been told.

Yes, as soon as equipment is flex-config ready.  

No, something simpler is being released soon.

"Upload is used more than downloads" is not justification for hundreds of megabits of excess downlink capacity and 1-2 megabits of excess uplink capacity. 

This is spot on. 

Upload improvements are coming I hear, soon.

Any reason for me to sign up for priority status?  I don't need a new phone but I might bite at the right price.  thanks

That just gets you to the front of the queue, in case there is a shortage for certain models. As a lot people will be ordering them.

PM'd you.
Lease credits I hear.

T-Mobile is doing half off with trade in, and I’m still waiting for Sprint to respond on twitter, but I’m not going to hold my breath.

Not sure about VZ or AT&T.

There is something, it is pretty good.

Stop forwarding ports first of all.

In what way does using a DMZ for an Airave threaten the rest of the network?

The firmware in the Airaves is 'buggy' on its very best day, it opens up a hole where it can access the rest of your network.

With Sprint, the cell site backhaul is most likely the slowest point in the network.
Some sites have 10Gbps connections, most don't.

As ingenium says, the Airave4 makes two VPN tunnels to the Sprint servers, all traffic goes via these two tunnels. One tunnel for CDMA 1x Voice/data and one for LTE data.

No ports needs to opened/forwarded/No DMZ.

Do NOT use DMZ, unless you really enjoy opening up your network to attacks.

I don't understand why my note 10 doesn't do volte on b41 from the airwaveLTE

No Airaves/MBs support VoLTE right now.
The MBs will one day, no idea when that day will come.

Depends on the router.  if it has DMZ then that is often the easiest method.

The Airave4 creates connections FROM the Airave TO Sprint's servers, no incoming connections need to go directly to the device via DMZ.

No DMZ is needed for any Airave device.
Mine works great mostly, sometimes need to reboot, which is something I should never have to do.

Anyone noticed VoLTE in Alaska yet?

I paid for the week long data pass when I was in the UK, after about 6 GB of transfer over a few days, the speed went back to around 0.6 Mbps. The included no charge roaming was around 0.12 Mbps.

This was not mentioned anywhere that there was a transfer limit on the data pass. After a week, I changed to the daily pass, cost more, but was more usable. The high latency wasn't good.

Next time I shall use a local SIM.

CenturyLink uses IPoE. 

Mostly PPPoE.

I have more trouble than you do when attempting a move to T-Mobile LTE.  If my Sprint signal on LTE goes to -130 or worse, the phone totally drops from Sprint LTE.  Sometimes T-Mobile LTE is available, but the phone just seems dumb and does not connect to it for a minute or even more.   Not sure what would happen on a VoLTE call here because my unlocked S9 STILL does not have VoLTE operational.

No VoLTE is available on TMO roaming.

Are there any differences functionality wise between the 3 and 4? I currently have a 3 that works fine, just wondering if I should upgrade or not.

The 3 has EVDO data, the 4 does not, if that matters to you.

I have something similar happen on my XS MAX. LTE goes away it only shows bars. I can call and text but no data until I cycle airplane mode.

 

I see this happen too. It is known about.

Trump isn't invovled in the approval process, no president is. So, it is completely a non issue. And your "orange man bad" comments have no place here. 

No normal president, as they follow the law.

This time it is different, he doesn't follow the law. 

What orange man comment?

I really think this is a non-issue.     With Trump... it was probably the right thing to do.    

Far from a non-issue.

It is how the Trump org works, greasing palms.
