    Is this something that can be done or just an ability of the iPhone 13? Fighting with Sprint to get an iPhone 13 activated on the Sprint network. They’re telling me that currently it can only be activated on T-mobile as no Sprint SIM cards will be made to work with the 13. When I asked about eSIM on Sprint they just said no, with no explanation.

    I doubt the five telephone companies/cooperatives that co-own Appalachian wireless would ever give it up. It’s their cash cow. App wireless has used government grants and funds whenever possible to build out towers due to operating in a very rural area; yet charge their customers extremely high rates justifying it by saying building towers in said region is expensive. But I wish this wasn’t the case, a Shentel or t-mobile acquisition of App wireless would be fantastic from a user point of view.

    Was told last week by a district manager (T-Mobile) that as soon as possible after closing T-Mobile had lots of deals ready for Sprint customers to upgrade/switch phones. The exact words she used were that they were "very aggressive offers." She wouldn't give any details. Take with a grain of salt but it makes sense.

    What happens to current extended roaming agreements Sprint has with other carriers? T-mobile has sporadic coverage in my neck of the woods.

    I'm having the opposite experience. All the phones in the house seem to pick up the A4 for voice and stay with it really well. This happens even though fringe 1X800 is around.

    So how do I get this voodoo-magic fix to come on over to my Airave? All solid green except flashing red LTE... Completely willing to sacrifice a bucket of KFC chicken bones to get it working.
  7. fizzicsguy
    The LTE light has never gone green, always flashing red. Called support once and the explanation was is that LTE service wasn't provided in my area.?.? Going to try calling back today and see if I get different results.
  8. fizzicsguy
    Thanks. I'll let it stew overnight and maybe I'll see green in the morning.

    Also in a non-Magic Box area, so possibility.

    Finally received my replacement unit this afternoon. Took about 20 minutes for it to configure itself, but all lights green now except LTE. Also blinking red.
  11. fizzicsguy
    After calling back support, apparently I have a bad unit and they're sending a replacement. Fingers crossed for a smooth ordering process!
  12. fizzicsguy
    According to the LED indicators yes. But after 15 or 20 min the cdma goes back to to flashing red too. I assume due to no gps. And yes, chirp is there.
  13. fizzicsguy
    Yes; showing as a Misc. device with an attached number.

    Update: The Airave can't seem to get a GPS lock. Tried everything. Curious to see if anyone else has issues with this when their units arrive. The unit will produce a CDMA signal without a GPS lock, but no LTE. Curious how it can do that as I thought CDMA relied heavily on GPS timing.
  15. fizzicsguy
    I can't test that as I do not have a native Sprint LTE connection at my home. Maybe others can when their unit arrives?

    In progress. Boot up took a couple minutes, LED's for WAN, Sprint Core connection, LAN, GPS, CDMA, & LTE flashed for about 5 minutes (it really took its time). GPS turns green, then goes back to flashing red after a bit. CDMA connects, but I'm assuming LTE requires a GPS lock. Still tinkering... Will do, as soon as I get some LTE goodness. I am REALLY wondering if this thing will have VOLTE out of the box at this stage.

    If this helps anyone, the rep I talked to yesterday had a terrible time ordering. Then finally hinted that wifi calling had to be removed from my account before he was able to get the code to order to go through. I have no idea if that's true, just what the guy mumbled.
  19. fizzicsguy
    Both.

    Finally! Just received shipping notification with tracking number, arrives tomorrow!
  21. fizzicsguy
    I ordered one Friday morning but hadn't received any notification email. So I called back a moment ago and was just told that they are still having trouble ordering these. I relayed that some folks had gotten shipping notifications...the reply was, "I promise no one is getting these yet, they are simply not shipping yet. " Ugh. He offered to try everyday and would let me know when he was successful in placing my order for an Airave 4. Anyone have any advice?
  22. fizzicsguy
    Airave Gen 4 is available today. Per OKCC rep. referring to an internal email.
  23. fizzicsguy
    A tech. rep. relayed to me today that a fix for the "Wi-fi Calling is unable to determine your location. It's recommended to change your location method to high accuracy" bug that came to the Note 8 with Pie/One ui is scheduled to be patched within a few days. Also said that VoLTE may arrive for the note 8 as early as mid April.
  24. fizzicsguy
    IMHO yes. Ordered the Note 8 (pre-owned) early last week for my daughter. Arrived in perfect condition. I was worried about the battery life but honestly it seems fine. Charger shipped appears to be a generic, but still has fast charge. No extra nibs for the pen, just the one. I'm not a Samsung person so not sure how long the pen nibs last or how many ship with a new Note. I'm not a Samsung fan but kinda liking the phone. She is very happy with it.

    The three lone Sprint LTE towers in East Kentucky (Paintsville, Prestonsburg & Allen) are all VoLTE active. Not complaining, but how strange!
