I was just browsing around the website and now I'm able to upgrade with no issues. Let's hope Sprint's site won't have issues when the time comes! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Even if I buy through Sprint and the iPhone Forever? Hopefully. If so, that would be even better! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I do really like that the phones with Apple's plan are unlocked from the start though, versus with Sprint's you can't domestic unlock the iPhone until the lease is completely paid for. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I preordered mine on sprint's website like two days after preorders started, and I still got it in the mail on launch day. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Perfect. I just didn't want to sign up, and then go to preorder but I'm not upgrade eligible until the new model is "officially available" after official launch day. Thanks for clarifying! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I was thinking about doing this. Does anyone know if you can preorder the new model when it comes out if I get on the iPhone forever now? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Same thing on my iPhone 6. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Best Buy did a promo like that sometime last fall, I don't remember much about it but I remember the "free service from Sprint for a year" plan. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hey everyone! Some updates since I was last on here, as you all know I am attending NM Tech this semester, so moving to Socorro happened to be so much easier now Sprint has LTE. Actually, this past Friday they were adding b26, making the entire network unstable and unusable throughout orientation/move-in weekend (which completely sucked). I still get no service through several buildings and my dorm, but frankly I don't think any network could get past these walls. I traveled to El Paso with my father on business, and it made me so happy to be back on the freeway home, as it was torture down there having no service indoors, all of Sprint's low band issues down there can't be solved any faster. I have been to a bad market for Sprint, but this was on another level. Also, I will be doing several internships and CoOps throughout rural NM, so I'm going to have to start a line with Verizon, because Sprint's roaming hard cap isn't going to work with me being gone weeks at a time. My parents are keeping this line open for me, so when I return to Socorro or ABQ or wherever I can still use our network. I'll still be on here, since Verizon has LTE almost everywhere, and they don't limit roaming, no excuses to not keep with S4GRU! Wish me luck! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I've preordered through Sprint, and always had gotten my iPhones with the first group, whereas Apple had the expected ship dates far later then with Sprint, lucky me! Also, never had any issues. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I thought that 3G tower that was accepted a few weeks ago would help the problem at Los Poblanos(where I am at a lot), but honestly I haven't seen a difference. But it's just that area! Ugh. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Since when can "Centurylink" and "save the day" be in the same sentence? Lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah overall, ABQ is pretty good. Calls are amazing, and even SMS and MMS is perfect. Even in group MMS with other carriers, I have never had a problem with delayed or missing messages. Also what is nice, is the tower spacing is generally the same across the city, and I almost always have LTE in non GMO areas. (With the exception of Rio Grande between Montano and Paseo, it's never pretty over there) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Crap, does living against the mountain suck sometimes! During this time of day where I live 3G and LTE struggle. Like 3G is below 0.02Mbps. Then again Sprint's call quality is still so amazing. I feel the one carrier of B25, B26, and the 3G we have really isn't enough in some parts of ABQ. I hope some of those new sites or small cells come to Albuquerque. We're late for everything.

I'll try again, it's pretty close to my work on academy. I was in such a rush I was already hoping I wouldn't be disappointed by driving in the parking lot. They way I was in a rush they'd probably recognize my jeep anyway! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I was driving by this site a few minutes ago, and there is a couple of people there. The fence was open and they had a tarp covering all of the cabinets and they were all eating lunch. I didn't have time to stop other then to drive by, but it was the MasTec engineering truck, with a trailer that had tons of equipment in it. I'll try to stop by again, but I might not be able to today. Good news hopefully! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

AppleCare covers all incidents. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Exactly. Everywhere else I go, Sprint is really killing it, but it still struggles throughout NM. I hope whatever is holding us back is coming to an end. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Jut got back from a day trip throughout northern NM with my friend on T-Mobile. I am really impressed with T-Mobile there. Consistently there was 4G and Edge in places like Mora, parts of Angel Fire, and even LTE all over Taos. Everywhere else, (between towns), they had roaming on Comnet 3G. Sprint had Extended 1x the entire time. Speeds were okay for him while roaming, (3-1mbps), whereas 50% unusable for me. It is a little better for me, since when I did have data, my roaming limit is 300MB and T-Mobile is 100MB. Just what we experienced. We both have iPhone 6's, so T-Mobile's b12 didn't apply here, even though I don't think they have any deployed here. There are so many old Nextel sites in the area, hopefully in the future Sprint will take advantage of those spaces. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I downgraded, but had no problems. Did you set up as a new iPhone? I restored to my previous iOS 8.4 backup. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

On mine, I constantly pick up both B25 and B26 in the Albuquerque market. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

He said he is in Atlanta currently, and also yes, the iPhone 5S is B26 compatible. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Looks like a tower I'm going to start really paying attention to! CJ Sent from my Sprint iPhone 6 using Tapatalk

Yes. Thank you for the notice. Being grown up around here, partially speaking Mexican Spanish, and traveling there I've learned where some safer places and towns are. But if/when I can test it, safe will definitely be the way to go! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I live in Albuquerque, so this may require a weekend trip to Mexico! Nice to know I won't really have to pay extra for my phone with this plan and Wifi Calling! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
