Tower handoffs are still a problem in/near Downtown Pittsburgh. Travelling through downtown, I dropped my call while entering via I-279 S. The caller called back, but call dropped again through Ft Pitt Tunnel (I-376 W) leaving town.

Sprint roams on Cricket a lot in the central valley (California).
Anytime I see that I'm roaming on Cricket, I feel very very discouraged. Sprint has made me feel socially inferior to a Cricket customer...

Plus the slightly overpriced accessories they make tons if money in accessories like any retail center.
Money well spent; I've used their super liberal 1 year guarantee multiple times! (Most recently for my Dot View case which began to fall apart...)
Ill let you in on a secret.....sprints wholesale price was $65
So even when did the $100 bundle with the m8 hk and the current 150 promo they are making a killing.
Curious, is Sprint's wholesale cheaper than others'?
-
Places like Best Buy are actually selling it for $399... Counting on brand value?The $399 price tag is insanely high. It more in line with Bluetooth speakers in the $200 range.

What's the deal with the towers that serve the various tunnels? Are they not part of any cluster for the purposes of site acceptance?

This is a fun new tool they stuck in here...

Downtown Pittsburgh had had plenty of work. They just couldn't bring things online until the entire cluster was complete.

I'm well aware of the cluster issues. I'm also aware that service was *emergency* bad. Until I got a spark phone, SMS wouldn't work and calls were sometimes not possible from PNC Park during games.... also problems driving through town without dropping calls at least twice...
Side question: the towers which cover the various tunnels. Are they not part of any cluster?

Work is still on going in Vegas. Please give Sprint a chance as they are working hard to get things done. Vegas service has improved dramatically in the last two years, and if you have a triband phone, you probably will do better if you turn off LTE while you are at your hotel and the Strip if you keep losing signal.

Baffled by the biggest problem areas being the last to get done. Same here, in Pittsburgh; downtown was untouched until mere days ago.
As it is, so sad to read this. Flying to Vegas on Tuesday... Was hoping for my phone to not be a burning hot paperweight with rapidly draining battery as it has been for years when I vacation there...

Pittsburgh *finally* got rid of the brown dots on the map in the Golden Triangle, but I *still* had repeated dropped calls while driving through after midnight this morning... what gives?

Service Alerts show up automatically only for numbers that are directly affected. I.E. the tower is a top 5 tower used by the number, or the issue is Market-wide. a Care or TS agent can look up other specific alerts opened, but the output Service Trender uses in Sprint Zone only automatically pulls up the ones directly affecting the top used towers.
Ticket level is listed as "market" in this one though. I've seen this ticket before (it appears and disappears) and I'm exclusively in the Pittsburgh market...

These things in Sprint Zone only show up intermittently, which is odd. For example the following, only shows up for a friend's number, although we are both in the same market and I'm definitely having the problem too: Also, statusUpdateDateTime
remains the same even though there clearly has been a change...

Just got this message today.
I got it months ago. Maybe they are gradually upgrading to a different system?

Am I the only one who thinks of Pirate Excrement whenever he sees ARPU? (say it aloud)

Wow. Thanks for posting that. I sure hope they start fixing it soon.

Just happened twice on a short phone call. It's ALWAYS when the other person is speaking, as if a certain tone in the voice triggers it or something...

Funny, I have problems in ALU territory too. I guess I better call and reference the ticket number to Sprint so they can add it to the Las Vegas market too.

As a heads up, there is an ongoing thread about the issue in Sprint's official forum: https://community.sprint.com/baw/thread/143675

Thanks for this, I called Care today and referenced that ticket number. They said the issue has also been reported in the Chicago market, and I let them know I've seen it in the East Texas and Louisiana markets and that Google Voice is not the cause. They opened additional tickets.
I wonder what the common factor is? For reference, I'm in the Pittsburgh market...

I've been having that problem for years. Most people blame Google Voice.
I am *NOT* integrated with Google Voice...
