  1. I don’t think service is that bad in Gainesville. I was just wondering if her service isn’t as good because it’s the unlocked model. That’s all. 
    Unlocked doesn't have anything to do with it. It's fully compatible with Sprints network.

  2. I did see that as well, but TMO is still at least 400 thousad square miles behind Verizons LTE coverage.. and some of there band 71 is still not cleared.. I don't see that happening anytime soon.. the only one that can maybe match that date is att.. if att even wants to do that

    That's where Sprint comes in handy. TMobile can deploy B26 where B71 isn't clear and for sure where's it's not cleared and, they don't have B12 either.

  3. If the merger fails, how long will Sprint’s CDMA remain live?
    If the merger succeeds, how long will Sprint’s CDMA remain live?
    If the merger doesn't go through then CDMA will likely be kept on for a while until the vast majority of Sprint's voice and data traffic are over LTE. If it succeeds I'm guessing it would happen within 5 years since T-Mobile will migrate Sprint's customers to their VoLTE service.
    If the Merger happens pcs CDMA will be shutdown not long after. 1x800 will stay for a while. Sprint customers will be moved over to TMobiles VOLTE. Hopefully Sprint will have volte to be them making it easier

  4. Not as quickly as you think. China Telecom for example still has 250 million customers on their CDMA/LTE network. China won't be phasing out their 2G networks anytime soon, their 3G networks will go first (W-CDMA and especially TD-SCDMA). CDMA's 3G and 2G are compatible standards so will maintain that as well. Between them and Sprint, CDMA will survive, but it will be niche.
    I thought the US was the only ones with CDMA still left and that everyone was GSM?

  5. . Also yeah it's frustrating to see it so slowly rolled out. But there's not much I can do about it. Also there's the fact that the equipment capable of that band has to be add on to all the towers which I assume T-Mobile has already done. But if Sprint where to purchase dish they could get all that juicy Spectrum.

    I was wondering if Sprint would participated in the 700 mhz auction where vzw got B13 if that could have made vzw weaker, where they both will have gotten B13 at 5x5 each? Just a thought.

  6. Dan, without Nextel, they would have only 1900mHz.    No 800 and no 2500mHz.    So, they did get something out of that.    Without Nextel, it still doesn't mean they would have done things much different.    They've had 12 years or more to figure this out.   It is what it is...    
    Good point. Hopefully they would have gone after B13/4 then

  7. Dude, yes they have native service. BUT it does not cover the entire state.  So they still have off-network roaming. [emoji53] Just wondering if you knew who that carrier was...
    Yeah I just checked the Dakota's coverage still isn't as good as vzw or att. I'm guessing Wyoming and Montana isn't any better. Guess matching vzw on sqaure miles hasn't happened. Yet away. That's unfortunate.

  8. It's called return on investment (ROI). For a cash strapped carrier like Sprint, it matters.
    Need to spend money to make money. No one is going to switch to them if they know they are going to leave the network behind when they go on vacation and will have no service, like I did when I went to South Dakota and was tied to a att hotspot the whole time.
