Sprint and Inland has some coverage overlap. So you maybe getting Sprint native signal for a while. For example, both have native signal in lewiston.

No, this is not the case. I have been in Juliaetta, Orofino and Winchester and have not received any roaming data. All was native in the middle of the billing cycle.

Roaming is not my native language, but yes, bretton88 interpreted me correctly.

 

And to me, it makes sense.  The switch from roaming to pseudo native does not occur until your roaming quota resets with your billing cycle.

That was not the case with me. My billing cycle has not reset yet. Part of the month on Inland

Cellular was roaming and part of the month was native.

I was roaming on Inland Cellular (north Idaho) and it did not show up as roaming.  Memorial weekend it was showing within an hour when texting usage.  This is really great for our area as Inland Cellular is the only company with coverage in any of our rural areas.

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone could explain this to me. Inland Cellular is a CCA partner with Sprint and for the six months when I was in their network area, my phone would say "3G Extended" and it would count against my roaming cap. I understand this. This weekend I was in their area again and now it says "3G Sprint". I was out most weekend and I received the text saying I was over my roaming cap. This is very underhanded to say "Sprint" even though I was roaming and it going against the cap. The sprint rep just said check the area. That is fine unless I am on a fringe area, of which we have many around here. Anyone have any other information on this?

Thanks, Doug

Inland Cellular in the Northwest was one of the companies that Sprint signed on with in June. Previously, data was at 1X. Today, the roaming was at 3G, though unfortunately it still said Extended with iPhone 5S. Hope this doesn't count against my 300 Mb cap.

I got some new pics of a site on 16th and 8th street in Lewiston ID. The guy is working on a small round antenna on the left of the tower.  It was not there before and now LTE is enabled.  What is the small antenna on the left?

Thanks,

These are the four antenna sets from top to bottom.  In the top picture, is the middle antenna the 800 mHz LTE antenna?

I drove past both sites in Pulman and did not get signal. Must still be waiting on something.
