First let me say that I appreciate that I always get LTE at my house now. The signal at my house has always been not so great. When I look at the tower map it seems like I am on the outer perimeter of three towers. I live inside the city midway between the airport and downtown. I am usually on Band 26 though. I'm not in a low spot and I'm even on the second floor. I am glad that Band 26 is filling in the holes, but when I check my phone while walking, I'm noticing A LOT of holes. I don't see myself having those dream speeds off of band 41. I realize I'm not high on the list here because even though I have not so good reception on B26 I still have LTE. If I am correct they are going to broadcast B41 from more locations than there are towers. Are there ways to suggest antenna placements I just feel because where I am I should be doing better.

What do you have to do to show you are local?

Abuse/ use/ recluse? This is a dangerous time to bring up this up when trying to buy out the fourth largest carrier!! The award for the worst timing ever goes to..............Sprint ding ding ding!!!!

How is the Iphone 5S doing around town? My friend is thinking about jumping from AT&T. I ask this because my friends with a 5S a few months ago was not able to pick up 4G with their 5S while I was picking up 4G with my LG G2.

A shot of B41 right in the middle of that problem could do the trick?!

Was the network able to handle the Pride parade?

Found out, a "script error"? Any other news?

Anyone with coverage issues today? Cause?

Should this new news be going in an already existing topic?

Has the problem with group messages coming across as single messages been addressed? The solution I saw on the Sprint page was to remove third party messaging apps. Suggestions?

Chicago a Spark market or what? I guess this comes down to- tell them you're getting it, wait till you're almost done and say it's almost done, or say you have it and then scare people away. This conversation has been had before. I have Spark , I had some great areas with 30 something downloads and I am OK with that. I can deal with not being lightning fast as long as it's consistently fast. I'm just concerned because this has been around the corner for a long time and I'm starting to worry how long it will take to fire up my city. I do understand Chicago being so large and the US Cellular signal gives them a bigger hurdle in Chicago.

I was visiting Chicago during the Memorial Day weekend and it's definetly not a 4G paradise oasis. I pulled down some decent downloads in certain locations, but uploads......yawn. I know it's still in process, but makes me wonder how long it's going to be for everything to be taken care of 90 miles north in Milwaukee.

An FAQ list for T-Mobile employees cited a situation in which a new T-Mobile customer took advantage of the operator's early termination fee credit, trading in more than one AT&T Mobility AT&T (NYSE: T) phone at a T-Mobile store. The customer subsequently complained that their residential coverage was worse with T-Mobile, but T-Mobile no longer had the customers' AT&T handsets and, thus, could not return them to the customer. The same thing happened to my friend who I tried to get to jump over to Sprint on my Framily plan, but it was not due to coverage (it was a porting issure). His IPhone was traded in and gone. I guess it kind of encourages people to stay, but satisfied customers do not feel trapped and they give personal referrals.

Is there something different about the ear plug connection? Every earplug falls out of my phone.

My account is filled up despite the porting fiasco. I think I want a 50 percent cut of all other plans I put together. There is a lot I learned, by now I think I could answer almost any question someone could throw at me. I'm helping two other people set up Framily plans, one framily plan is with people I could not because I reached the max--that sucks. A regular referral plan would be great.

Don't feel so proud now. My friend coming over from AT&T tried to port over and there was an error on Sprint's end. He was being nice to me so he went to the store the next day and he tried to do it again, despite having bad experiences with Sprint's billing in the past. The second attempt also failed, I don't know why it failed again. I just lost a $75 referral, he just lost his Iphone that they gave him $34 in in store credit and now he has to pay a $30 some dollar return fee. Sine I'm down to 9 people the monthly payment won't change, but that extra 75 would be nice. They need to get it together.

$675 is mine due to this Framily Plan promotion. 8 people on Verizon and 1 on ATT that were not happy with their phone bills were not hard to find. 5 months ago I would have never referred them. I switched off my lifetime unlimited plan, which I'm not so sure I should have done, but I have about a year of free phone service thanks to the $75 incentive.

So does that mean I can get $75 referall for my friends and have their etf paid? I'm sorry I'm at work and that link that you posted is blocked.

On Sprint's Framily plan promotion online it says the ETF payment continues until June 8/10/12--I forget which date it is. I went to the store and they said that promotion already ended and when I showed them the online advertisement (from Sprint) they said, oh they must have extended it. Clarification.

My keyboard freezes and I cannot type. My default is swype.

350 per line? As in 10 members times 350?

I'm trying to save my friends some money and see if Sprint is a good option for them in the Appleton area. There are two people that would consider going on the Framily plan but I don't want to steer them wrong and have them get bad coverage. One person is one block east of North Washington and East 1st St. The other is right by the Fox River Mall. I've checked coverage maps, but personal experience is always better. How is it looking around there?

Yes. Thank you.

So can it be set to LTE now? Or does the "it was accessible" mean no longer.

I do not see an "LTE Only" setting. That would be under the "Mobile networks" category, correct?
