I would hope they convert the 2 sites near Huntingdon, PA. Beyond that there aren't many more...

My inlaws have a campground on the juniatta river in huntingdon. I would love some better coverage there

I have seen this happen. Go into the app settings and clear all data in the google play store, download manager and then restart. See if that helps

Just updated mine. Phone seems slightly smoother.

I've been doing a lot of traveling lately and I'm having bad SMS experiences. This is occurring on a LG G2 with Android 4.4.2 and a Nexus 5 with 5.0.1.

 

It has occurred in Chicago, Tucson, Des Moines and Champaign.

 

Sending SMS gets stuck on "Sending" and might eventually send or might fail. Incoming texts I'm getting 3 or 4 times each with different time stamps.

 

Known issue?

I have had this issue as well and it seems to be either a registration issue between the device and the tower or you are in a spot where the network has trouble assigning you to a band because you are bouncing between them. Where i work i had the issue for three months but was finally able to get it resolved by them adjusting either the power level or tilt of the panels. After the resolution the band 41 signal seems to travel further as well.

In my experience as long as the phone number is active the lease/financing will continue. The second the line is canceled thats when they bill you the balance.

I know people that did transfers of liability with a financed device and the payments came up due immediately. Maybe the device being activated on another account is the trigger or just something in the billing system when a transfer is done.

This is also not true. I currently finance an iPhone and used an HTC. When I switch the phone online it always pops up with a warning that that will happen but it doesn't. I have confirmed with sprint that you can use whatever phone you want.

The policy says it will. That doesn't mean it will actually happen in practice

Not true. Devices on sprint are unlocked after three months whether unpaid or undercontract. On Att a device undercontract will not be unlock unless the contract is fulfilled, so it is easier to get a phone unlocked with installments. As far as resell it doesn't matter at all.

It does matter for resale. If a device being financed is removed from your account then the remaining payments are supposed to come due immediately.

guess we'll see if this works. I don't personally like it though and will fast forward through it. What I don't get is that when you see a t-mobile or Verizon ad, it is classy and to the point. I used to even rewind the t-mobile commercials because I liked then. So far I am embarrassed to be a Sprint costumer with these ads. I am not supposed to be on a budget carrier and don't want my ads to come across like it. You don't have to scream or be stupid to get your point across. Trust customers like they have a brain and not like Twitter and they will still get the message.

Classy? Did you see the Kim Kardashian ad from T-Mobile?

I'm curious too.

* total cost of new cell site broken down by:

**cost of equipment - antennas, basestations, etc - for a new cell site on existing tower

**cost of labor to instead equipment

 

* cost of backhaul per month for, let's say, 100mbps symmetrical

* cost to build tower (only) itself - say 100feet - if no existing tower.

I would also add the costs of supporting and surrounding towers. 2 sites in town wont get anyone to switch if the roads coming in and out are not covered as well. More towers would be needed and that increases the costs without adding additional subscribers potentially.

Unfortunately the article says Sprint is looking at cobranding which means dealers. But it doesnt say how many of them will be cobranded.

View from the Dakotas: Much ado about nothing. Snow falls greater than 12" and punishing wind...nothing new. We had a 5' storm last season with 80 MPH winds. In October. No one even heard about it.

Yeah but that is the same as the old saying if a tree falls in the forest and no one is there does it make a sound? If a storm hits the Dakotas...no one is there...

I live in northern Rhode Island and am slated for 2 to 3 ft and then possibly 8 to 10 inches more on Friday.

Wonder how many of the stores will be in Sprints new Montana market area?

Yes they charge for unconditional call forwarding but not conditional.

Been a spectator in the forum for years.. Finally thinking of making the leap to Sprint. Tried the Half Price Event on Sprint.com and even with a proper downloaded .pdf bill all I get is: "Uh oh! We're having trouble reading your bill. Please visit a Sprint Store."

 

I'm reluctant to turn in my phones from another carrier (something evil, and perhaps having to do with bells) in case it just doesn't work out. Anyone in the Cleveland area able to vouch for my leap of faith?

Sprint stores have been told to hold the traded in devices for 14 days in case customers change their minds.

I bet Joan Lappin is still going nuts over the price Sprint paid for Clearwire now seeing what AWS-3 is going for. She must be batshit crazy about now.

What do you mean "now"? Maybe more so is a better term?

Neat! I just went back through that and it appears you are correct. I thought it was ETF only until now.

While the 350 applies to both the beginning cost of many devices is well above that threshold. This could be cost prohibitive for some to do the switch if they recently purchased devices.

Last week, one of Sprint's Presidents sold a bunch of his stock: http://www.wkrb13.com/markets/424743/sprint-insider-sells-331091-in-stock-s/

 

He is either an idiot for selling at $4.78 near the 52-week low, or he realistically sees further trouble ahead.

I believe you are referring to Matt Carter. He was also issued the same number of shares at a different price point.

Let me ask you a question. What do you think of a wireless operator who only does the bare minimum?
