    Of course, the warm, full feeling also could be a tumor. AJ

    No, Sprint is not blackballing you because it is a "T-Mobile phone." Sprint has no idea that your Nexus 5 was purchased from T-Mobile. Sprint has no record of it -- that is the problem. AJ

    Not including the acquired USCC PCS spectrum, Sprint has two non adjacent 10 MHz (aka 5 MHz FDD) PCS blocks for CDMA2000 usage in Chicago. Each one allows for a maximum of three CDMA2000 carriers plus guard bands. In other words, the limit in Chicago is six CDMA2000 carriers. Houston is Sprint's only other top 20 market so constrained -- all other top 20 markets have spectrum to support at least seven, at most 11 CDMA2000 carriers. As for the actual number of CDMA2000 carriers deployed and the ratio of CDMA1X to EV-DO carriers, that varies somewhat from site to site. S4GRU has that data for nearly all markets, but as I recall, Chicago is the most notable one for which we were unable to obtain that info. So, to discover EV-DO carriers deployed on a particular site/sector, you would need to use an empirical, iterative process. I describe it in an article that I wrote in 2012, linked below. http://s4gru.com/index.php?/blog/1/entry-318-can-toggling-airplane-mode-actually-improve-your-3g-data-speeds/ AJ

    No, LTE priority is not controlled by a PRL. That is a CDMA2000 process. AJ

    I think the simple answer is that if you are the one liable for all nine lines, then no one else need be present. You can do the switch and upgrade for all of the lines. AJ

    Too legit to quit? AJ

    Yeah, those people are mostly clueless grandparents and cheap parents -- in both cases, buying tablets as gifts for more savvy children who will be oh so lucky to receive them. When the children open them, the elder relatives will probably even say something like "Look, an iPad!" AJ

    Folks, this belongs in the T-Mobile thread. But we are not running troll attracting magenta discussion right now. AJ
  9. WiWavelength
    No, you guys are way off. Customer care uses manatees in a pool of idea balls. AJ

    Sure. You want cheap roaming on SoftBank in Japan? Okay, that can be done. And that is about it. SoftBank does not own pieces of mobile networks in numerous countries like Deutsche Telekom does. AJ
  11. WiWavelength
    I paved the way. AJ

    For perspective, though, unless you have a big Framily, you are not likely paying much less per month after your amnesty upgrade. So, it is still as if subsidy is baked in the monthly service costs. AJ
  13. WiWavelength
    Uh, yeah, that would be like selling your house because you could live in your SUV on your back 20 acres. AJ

    It is. MetLife Stadium is one of the dozen or so that already meet NFL standards. Considering its young age and imminent Super Bowl, it might have the best Wi-Fi network in the league. AJ
  15. WiWavelength
    The issues really should be just voice and SMS everywhere plus data in the parking lots and areas around the stadium. Inside the stadium, most data should be on Wi-Fi. The big problem, though, is awareness: many attendees are simply oblivious that industrial class Wi-Fi is available. AJ

    Truly rural areas? Doubtful. Secondary/tertiary markets? Likely. http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/3703-potential-sprint-rural-buildout-by-2016/ AJ

    Uh oh, I see it happening already. MacinJosh is going BacktoApple. AJ
  18. WiWavelength
    And that makes sense. Band 41 is not going to use the same MCC-MNC as band 25. AJ
  19. WiWavelength
    But is the Galaxy S4 Mini connected to band 25 LTE 1900 or band 41 TD-LTE 2600? That is the question. AJ
  20. WiWavelength
    You may have just contradicted yourself with that last "word." AJ
  21. WiWavelength
    Damn, I wish now that I could find a "Green 18 Green 18" snap count video loop. That would be far more appropriate for this Chicago thread. It would give our Windy Citians sausage induced nightmares. AJ

    Naw, The Man in Denver has a different recommendation for T-Mobile headquarters... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzkeNHGM9d8 Then, T-Mobile might finally offer local service in Omaha. AJ
  23. WiWavelength
    T-Mobile specializes in giving out high fives, expletives, and doobies. AJ

    This is my Nexus 7 today. I guess I just created energy, too. And that makes me a god. Woo hoo! Now, do you still think you should be worried? AJ
  25. WiWavelength
    Oh my god, you just reversed the first law of thermodynamics. Energy can neither be created nor destroyed, but you just created it. In fact, you must be God. AJ
