Any timeline for the Jacksonville market? 

Yeah, I don’t see any option to enable it. Only WiFi calling. 

Can’t find the option to turn it on. Do I need to be on the latest software update? Asking for my girlfriend. 

Does VoLTE work for sprint on the unlocked version of the S8+?

Experienced my first VoLTE call in Orlando last night, and it was pretty nice. 

Does anyone know if the Jacksonville market will be included in the next round of VoLTE deployments? I know I’ve been having some issues lately calling out and having calls dropped. Idk if that’s because of testing or whatnot but I’m hoping that they’re about to launch in our market soon. 

I got the option to enable VoLTE in my cellular settings after updating on my IPhone 8 Plus, but I’m in the Jacksonville market and as far as I know VoLTE hasn’t been enabled in this particular market yet. 

I was getting mad dropped calls entering Jacksonville this morning. Data might not be the greatest, but I’ve NEVER had an issue with dropped calls unless I’m deep in the country. I couldn’t place a call until my phone switched to an extended network. 

I think Sprint is turning up the heat in Gainesville to some extent. I’ve been picking up B41 in places that I’ve usually had slow data. Got B41 in front of Oaks mall the other day and now I’m picking it up just down the road from where I live. Unfortunately I get B25 or B26 once I get into my apartment complex. It’s for sure getting better here though. 

My girlfriend has an unlocked S8+ but we live in the Jacksonville market in Florida so there’s no way for me to try it out as of right now. 

Sorry I didn’t mean to reply to the quote

Why can't Sprint do something like these announcements on a regular basis?  It would give customers confidence there are specific examples of upgrades in their market.

Has anyone living in a soft launch market experienced a true VoLTE  phone call? If so, how was the call quality? 

Ok cool. Thanks. 

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. 

My girlfriend just switched her unlocked S8+ over to Sprint. She says service is horrible, but she’s also used to having AT&T. Is there anything that someone can recommend? IMEI from Sprint possibly?

Finally the rural towns get some love lol. 

That’s nice! I’m originally from Live Oak so that’s great news. I’m also in Lake City from time to time. This is awesome. 

Yeah, I hope so. 

Oh ok thanks for the info. 

How many are now in Gainesville? 

That’s awesome to see the upgrades happening in Duval county. I was at the St. John’s town center two weeks ago getting my phone fixed at the Apple store. Service was OK, but not great. 

Walgreens on newberry rd in Gainesville. 

Was inside of Walgreens just now, and I noticed that my signal was unusually stronger than normal. Did I field test and got B41 with UARFCN 39874. This particular Walgreens does have a Sprint express booth inside if that info helps any. Just wondering if this is B41 signal came from a small cell or possibly magic box? Any info would be great. 

I just saw a sprint booth inside of Walgreens...how long has this been happening?

I agree.
