I was in Westfield Montgomery mall yesterday and band 41 worked like a champ. Not once I dropped to band 25 or 26 and my speeds were around 30-40mbps.

The sprint kiosk seemed pretty busy as well.

Anyone have any updates on wifi calling?

Sprint care just told me there isnt a time frame. 

About that. My contact with the executive team talked to people in network, and they said they are still working with Apple. They do not have an estimated time to release. They are keeping very tight-lipped about it.

 

Also, they are saying that Apple has to approve PRL's too before they are pushed to the iPhone, but I'm not fully sure that that is right.

Dang! I was hoping very soon since they said back in December 30-60 days.

Oh well. I honestly need it while I'm at school other than that my service is perfect everywhere else

Hoping we get wifi calling soon!

I'm so exhausted so I'm not sure if im making sense so please forgive me...

Can sprint also pair up with their LTE roaming partners and maybe add 1x voice to their sites?

Also will this organic expansion delay any plans with their LTE roaming partners? If not then taking this organic expansion plan and their LTE roaming deal...this is all great for sprint!!

Hope we get wifi calling by next month!

Lies - Frederick will NEVER have LTE... muwahhaha

Haha I was getting LTE the other day. I was shocked lol

The coverage map shows Fredeick MD has lte !!!

Going back to this....

 

 

 

 

umm forgive my ignorance but what is ATT CYBIH

 

It seems that is the only place that carry over data is mentioned is in that article. I checked with Sprint and yes they do have carry over data on plans that are not unlimited. But it is tied to the original amount you had.

so for instance, the way it was explained...

You are on a 10GB per month plan.

In Jan:

you used up 7GB thus having 3 GB unused/remaining that can be carried over.

In Feb:

you now have your regular 10GB +3GB for a total of 13GB to use. But you end up using 5GB, which now leaves you with 8GB carried over

In Mar:

You have 10GB + the 8GB carried over for a total of 18GB to use. You only use 7GB that month. leaving you with 11GB not used.

You would think that you cn carry over that 11GB to the next month. Nope. Since your original data bucket is 10 you cannot carry over more than that same amount on to the next month, so instead of 11 you have 10GB + 10GB carry over to use the next month.

 

Hope I didn't confuse anyone.

"Cut your bill in Half" so ATT customers porting over to sprint they will have their data carry over

Wait? Sprint has Carry Over Data now?

Did I miss something?

They over carry over data for ATT CYBIH customers

Seems the network vision is starting to pay off in big cities . San Antonio joins Chicago as a Sprint strong market http://www.rootmetrics.com/us/rsr/san-antonio-tx/2015/1H

Surprised the downlink decreased from their last report...and same with ATT and tmobiles

More info about 2.5GHz in an article just published by FierceWireless http://www.fiercewireless.com/story/sprint-bring-carrier-aggregation-all-its-lte-bands-bid-boost-performance/2015-02-05

 

Notably,

I wonder which market? Or is it across all the markets with 8t8r sites

So will the note edge or g flex 2 will support TD/FDD LTE CA? Or did they give a time frame when these will be out?

If this question has been answered already I apologize. Haven't had time to read the whole thread

Well, I have 6 lines on it already. Was hoping for a 7th but maybe I'm being greedy. lol

Go to a sprint store and try! Ever since the new loyalty program I think sprint made some of the legacy plans available up to 10 lines

If they'd let me add another line to my ED 1500, I'd really love Sprint even more.

Might be able too. My friend walked into a sprint store yesterday and added 6th line to that plan

That was posted on Fiercewireless just now. Looks like Sprint was using CA at the superbowl??

The nation's largest wireless carriers offered some insights into how they prepared for Sunday's Super Bowl XLIX game between the New England Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks, as well as how much traffic they saw on their networks during the game.

Sprint didn't provide an exact network traffic figure, but said it saw a 259 percent increase in traffic in and around the stadium in 2015 compared with last year.

For its part, Sprint said it added mobile cell sites and that, inside the stadium, it offered a 2X20 (40MHz) cellular system running on its 2.5 GHz spectrum.

I wonder will their be any network incentive to this deal. Expediting band 41 deployment?

Just curious

Google to start their own MVNO service using Sprint and tmobile

Here are the problems with a potential BRS/EBS 2600 MHz sale, folks...

 

The FCC approved the entire Clearwire acquisition -- with no divestment. That was not a big surprise, but it was still a spectrum coup.

 

The 600 MHz auction may never happen anytime soon. Do not count on it. It also may prove too pricey for anyone but VZW and AT&T. Do not sell your assets and save your pennies for a day that may never come -- or never come your way.

 

Sprint cannot compete with the Twin Bells on overall native footprint. That ship sailed with Republican influenced FCC decisions 2000-2008. Currently, Sprint can barely compete with lowly T-Mobile on overall data speeds. Right or wrong, those are the metrics that presently drive the industry. If Sprint lets go of some of its spectrum treasure trove, that may be akin to letting the Trojan horse inside the gates. If AT&T, for example, can acquire 40 MHz of BRS/EBS spectrum and run 2x 20 MHz TDD carrier aggregation, Sprint loses most of its competitive advantage.

AJ why is the 600mhz auction becoming a drag? Sorry for my ignorance but I haven't really been following it.

Is it because the TV stations (if that's right) are not freeing up the spectrum?

Also if it does happen in 2016, how long would it take for us to get a 600mhz phone?

Selling off some B41 actually sounds like a really good idea.

 

They don't need most of it, and they're not getting full use out of the spectrum they keep (they aren't going to lease the extra cell sites they need to do a dense deployment of it.)

 

Honestly, 80mhz of EBS is all they need. (2 carriers of 20+20). That's still 2x the capacity of T-Mobile's "wideband" LTE, with similar-ish customer counts.

 

If they sell the rest, that would generate a ton of revenue they could use to densify urban areas and prep for 600mhz auction. It would also help with their spectrum screen issue, and probably jump the stock price up noticably.

I agree with this. I believe also sprint has a good supply of PCS spectrum as well. I know currently they haven't talked about aggregating the PCS spectrum but maybe in time it may be a good idea

I have a feeling this year is going to be crazy as far as competition!

Let the wireless hunger games begin

Speaking of Dish they have been awfully quiet. I'm kind of surprised they haven't made an offer to tmobile yet

So they're selling the 2.5 ghz? Selling to TMObile would result in least pain for sprint.

They are looking at different opportunities but nothing is official. I actually hope they sell it to Dish since Dish wanted that spectrum and I'm still hoping they form a partnership

That I do remember him saying. But how was it pre-planned? You mean based on the current rate of redoing the network at that time last year?

I meant how it's crazy how they called that earlier on. Just seemed like everything somehow fell into place.
