No they won't get the same coverage. There are many areas where iden had coverage where sprint CDMA did not have any and will not be converted to NV.

Now that Sprint has the cash from Softbank, wouldn't it make sense to convert areas where Nextel has coverage and Sprint did not?

YES!!!!! Sprint direct connect will work over cdma 800 and 1900 mhz. So this means that you will be getting the same coverage as nextel iden coverage since they both use 800 mhz. That is the point that sprint has been pitching to nextel customers for the last 1.5 years to convert to being a sprint customer.

San Diego won't benefit until 800mhz is deployed which would be later next year. San Diego has a huge Nextel base as service was popular for cross border usage with Tijuana. How soon may we see 800mhz deployed in San Diego?

Once Nextel is died in a few months, will Sprint Direct Connect work over CDMA 800mhz when available? San Diego won't be getting 800mhz anytime soon and wondering because their 1900mhz service does not work well in parking garages in downtown San Diego.

Will Sprint Direct Connect benefit from Network Vision? Will it only work on CDMA 1900 or work on all 800/1900/2600?

Found more LTE on E Plaza Blvd and Highland in National City. Mapped on Sensorly.

Found LTE on Division and S Euclid in South East San Diego. Just mapped on Sensorly. Fastest LTE Speed Test I have seen in San Diego 33Mbps!.

Anyone getting many drop calls between the hand off of 2 NV completed 3G sites? Every time I am on a call traveling from site * to site *, I would drop calls. Called Sprint and they said they couldn't recreate the problem. How can these sites be accepted by Sprint, but are having problems? I had called 800-268-0796 and explained to them these are sites that Sprint had accepted as completed for 3G and are having problems. Can it just be only my phone? I don't have drop calls at any other locations.

Can't claim credit for this one but someone was able report 4G LTE via Sensorly at the west end of State Freeway 52 at I-5 and on I-5, just above State Freeway 52

: D. I guess I was tripping when I had sensorly on with 4G points showing up and 4G indication showing up. That day was going to do a speed test but when I went back on a second trip that hour 4G was gone. There was a truck there next to the site off the side of the 5 freeway so I guess they were testing.

Was there a major delay because of permit issues? Have seen many permits for last month but nothing much for Jan. Anyone know how to look up info that is useful? https://publicservices.sdcounty.ca.gov/CitizenAccess/ Would be nice if someone can put something together for San Diego.

Will try to catch them and snap some pics. :-). Maybe they might tell us when LTE will be lit for San Diego.

Hi everyone....as we know Sprint wants to complete the NV build out as soon as possible. Does the vendors work weekends? Went to site # SD60XC029 today a NV in progress site in San Diego, CA. Sure I didn't see anyone working today. Any different with other vendors?

Now that Sprint owns Clearwire 100%, is Sprint planning to deploy 2.5Ghz part of their NV? Or Clear planning their own network moving forward? Wouldn't it make sense to put 2.5Ghz on all Sprint towers included with the NV? It's a lot of spectrum, 800, 850, 1900, 2500. LTE will be smoking fast!

Many approved sites now in San Diego this week. Good news, LTE is just around the corner, I hope Christmas we see some towers with LTE! I have a tower near my house on schedule map to be ready by October but is yet to be accepted. The speeds are always above 1Mbps so NV is definitely completed.

Virgin Mobile in Canada same as US? http://www.virginmobile.ca/en/hot-offers/iphone5.html?province=ON&geoResult=failed# Seem like they offering iPhone 5. Didn't know that Sprint operates Virgin Mobile in Canada.

Greetings.

I'm looking at getting the new iPhone next week, and that brought up the need to rethink my carrier selection.

After a bit of research, I'm just not sold that Sprint's 4G LTE implementation of what I perceive to be inferior frequencies for proper LTE deployment will ever be competitive with what Verizon is offering.

I'm leaning towards VZN as they appear to have the most spectrum and are well situated for the future.

I realize I won't get data and talk at the same time with the iPhone 5, and that VZN's 3G data is not as fast as AT&T's.

I am leery of big blue's reputation of poor customer service and dropped calls....

Any input would be appreciated.

Best,

James

With NV underway in San Diego, Sprint service will soon be as good as Verizon. Many cell sites here in San Diego, I am getting average 700Kbps to 1Mbps on Sprint. It has gotten a lot better this year and when LTE launch by the end of the year it will be smoking!

I have been very happy with my Sprint service until recently. I have 4 sprint towers all within 1 mile radius. I live on top of the hill, 1 tower is within a few blocks. I have been getting 5-6 bars on my EVO LTE, but getting crazy drop calls lately. I have notice when I am on a call with 5 bars, it may drop to maybe 1 bar or none and drops my call.

What is going on? What can I do to fix this issue? I have never experience this issue before which started happening a few weeks ago. My EVO LTE is up to date with the latest recent HTC update. Called Sprint but no help as they have no outages, opened ticket but nothing happened...WTF? I didn't have any of these issue since I had my EVO and EVO LTE which all started happening recently.

I am in the middle of the following towers:

SD34XC666 North

SD73XC163 East (2-3 Blocks Down)

SD34XC520 South West

SD34XC664 WEST

Crazy to even have 4 towers within 1 mile, why is that?

I was trying to find an app to match up with the maps. I have 3 towers near my house that is within 2 miles which I'm not sure I'm connected to.

Which one are the most accurate? Cell Mapper or Netmonitor doesn't seem to be accurate. What is everyone using?
