    There is something disturbing about a ball field nicknamed "The Cell".

    The first site in the list (cybermod) will only load if you have IPv6 on the device that is trying to load it. That site itself is an example of an IPv6 only site. You must not have a working IPv6 path to the internet on your home computer. I suggest you go to: http://test-ipv6.com and test your computer to see if it has both IPv4 and IPv6 stacks running with connectivity to the internet.

    My iphone 5S pulls IPv6 pages from my WIFI just fine but when connected to the Sprint data network, it uses IPv4 only. Here is a list of IPv6 only pages that someone compiled. http://ipv6.cybernode.com/list-of-ipv6-only-sites Unless you are on a dual-stack IPv4 and IPv6, you cannot access those sites. Here is a video with why we need IPv6 soon. https://www.arin.net/knowledge/deploying_ipv6/index.html

    It works on my not jail broken iPhone 5S. Sitting on FDD Band 26 right now just where I should be.

    Voice and Data. Mine rarely goes onto 1x800 (CDMA 800) and would rather drop the call than silently move over to that band. Iphone 5S Sprint version specifications from http://www.apple.com/iphone-5s/specs/ Model A1453*: CDMA EV-DO Rev. A and Rev. B (800, 1700/2100, 1900, 2100 MHz); UMTS/HSPA+/DC-HSDPA (850, 900, 1700/2100, 1900, 2100 MHz); GSM/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz); LTE (Bands 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 13, 17, 18, 19, 20, 25, 26)

    Vonage's Basic Talk service is very good and very reliable. I have been using it for many years with no issue. The only time I have had any problem is when my internet connection had issues. Vonage then automatically forwarded all my calls to my mobile phone until the problem was resolved. Basic Talk is available from WalMart and is $10 per month plus taxes and fees. Total cost will be $16 per month or less depending on your state for unlimited calling in the US, voice mail, 911 calling and all the other free services they offer. For VOIP, I recommend setting up a free nomorobo account and configuring your VOIP line for simultaneous ringing to nomorobo. 99% of the telemarketer and political calls to my house only ring one time before being answered and hung up on by nomorobo.

    http://www.slate.com/articles/health_and_science/alternative_energy/2013/03/kinetic_energy_harvesting_technology_to_power_lights_cell_phones_medical.html This article from last year tells you how.

    We use http://www.sendwordnow.com at my company for emergency notifications. It requires the user to respond to the message confirming that they got the message. If they do not respond to the SMS, it then calls with a voice message that they must respond to. We find it extremely reliable.

    Open your map and look for the state with oil wells all over it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Dakota_oil_boom Or follow the oil trains (the ones with 100+ black tanker cars) back to where they come from. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tank_car

    I just contacted Sprint and was told that this is not available to customers on corporate plans. I guess even though I want to give them more money, they will not take it.

    Last time I tried to take advantage of the Best Buy warranty that I paid for on a product that I had dropped, I was told they do not cover user caused damage as part of their warranty. If you drop your phone and crack the screen or drop it in water, it likely will not be covered because those are user caused issues that made the product no longer function properly. I asked the BB rep what they actually cover that is not already part of the manufacturer's standard warranty and they could not tell me any additional benefit other than convenience of going to the store rather than mailing it in. The Best Buy extended warranty is a total rip-off for products where the most likely damage is user caused and I will never purchase one of their warranties on anything I purchase again if it is a product that I might break.

    I don't know what they did but today I could hold a phone conversation 1 mile south of Central DuPage Hospital in the woods south of Winfield. This is the first time in years that the voice hole in this heavily populated road area has not dropped my call in this area. I hope this stays this way.

    This is what Sprint should be doing with every site that is still waiting on backhaul right now. They should prioritize every heavily populated site that does have adequate backhaul to it and deploy microwave ASAP. Then move to the rural areas that do not have enough backhaul prioritizing by usage on each site.

    In the Chicago area most fiber run in the winter is at least temporarily run on poles above ground. Sometimes they go back and bury it when the ground is no longer frozen and sometimes they don't.

    Your predictions about 2012 linked from that article are also a great read. Hopefully 2014 will be the year for at least of them (iPhone supporting 2500 MHz LTE). I have only been a member here for a little over a year but have learned an incredible amount of information about mobile networks from this site. That is a credit to your hard work, your network of friends and to this site.

    Yes, it should have been fixed by 1x800 (band 10 sorry) but my iPhone 5S is not working properly in this area. When things like this occur in highly populated "complete" areas, it is no wonder the voice reliability in the tests show a lower than expected score. It really depends on what device they use for the tests and where they drive during their tests.

    I drive through a coverage hole in the western suburbs quite often. I still lose every voice call that I make or am continuing while in this area on an iPhone 5s. This hole is one mile south of Central DuPage Hospital to the northern border of Naperville in the village of Winfield and has been there for at least the past two years. I had a call dropped in that area again today. I had hoped that B26 would fix the problems in the Winfield Road forest preserve area but they have not had any impact so far. Hopefully there is more optimization to occur. Sprint really needs to measure the calls dropped from their towers. That would help them adjust their coverage in most areas. Remember the Verizon "Can you hear me now" commercials? That is what Sprint needs to do as they optimize B26.
