  1. I have been seeing a bunch of cell tower work going on out in the IE pretty much from Pomona, CA out east so I stopped and spoke with the engineer on site. He told me Sprint is now in a mad dash to upgrade their towers in the IE and also add a bunch of small cells. Great news!

     

    Now if we could just get LTE band 26 we will be smoking hot!

    What is IE?

  2. I may have unintentionally uncovered 10x10 LTE carriers on B25 on the west side and downtown yesterday. I found it via my logs. I have a rooted device, so SCP also logs EARFCNs. 8640 download EARFCN showed up at sites in Rocky River, Lakewood and one downtown. Does anyone out there have an engineering screen that shows the bandwidth? I'd like to verify that this is indeed the 10x10 carrier that's all the rage in Columbus. Speed tests could do it too provided upload is around 20 Mbps or greater.

     

    Try *#0011#

     

    This works on my GS6.  It shows the bandwidth there.

  3. We are looking at a two year subsidy upgrade for both her and my Dad.  They won't let me buy them phones and they don't have $400 to shell out for phones.  Neither are power users, just Facebook, pictures, games, etc.  I know the S6 is a generation old, but at $49.99 for a 64gb phone, it will be more than enough space for their use.  I'd be shocked if it didn't get a 7.0 or 7.1 upgrade.

    I wouldn't be shocked at all if they DIDN'T get 7.0 or 7.1.  I'm not expecting it.  But I hope I'm pleasantly surprised.

  4. Still good for me. Snappy and still get relatively good updates. Running Mashmallow 6.0.1

    How is the Galaxy S6 holding up?  I'm thinking about getting one from Best Buy for my mom to replace her S4T.  64GB model for only $49.99 (two year contract upgrade).

     

    It's still working pretty well for me also.  It doesn't hold a weak signal as well as my GS5 did, but it's not horrible.  

  5. The iPhone for Life deal that was available in December said that when the new device came out, they would be upgrade eligible, so their account should say that on September 1st, they became upgrade eligible. Whereas once they upgrade to the iPhone 7, they will move to the new iPhone Forever deal, where they have to make 12 consecutive lease payments before they become upgrade eligible again.

    Oh, ok. Thx.

  6. I know someone that got their iPhone 6S in December 2015, when Sprint was doing the iPhone for Life deal (where you can get the new iPhone as soon as it comes out).

     

    So, they should be able to get this new iPhone with no problems, correct?  Also, would they pay the same monthly lease price?  And when they come out with the iPhone 8 next year, will they still be able to upgrade immediately when that comes out?

  7. Well looks like Verizon just flipped the switch on LTE-A in 450 cities today. This pretty much CA correct? I do like the silent approach they took with it not saying nothing about it and just randomly pop up with the news. This is pretty much the same approach Sprint is taking but we all know because it's Sprint it gets twisted in a bad way.

    Yeah, I just saw the article.  Good job VZW.

  8. For me it's appearing in the plan optimizer section since it's cheaper than my current plan.

    The plan optimizer hasn't worked for me for many months.  I just get this message:

    Sorry we're unable to analyze your plan. However, we want to help you get the most out of it. Visit My Sprint and let's chat about it.
