Robert, when I bought my phone, I was told the 4G would go active in mid Summer. I wonder if that rings possible on your end. What do you think? We have really bad 3G service in town except when you are close to the tower at the 5 points (Center and David st.). Most people are Verizon in Marion, but I always liked Sprint and their plans. Just wish the coverage was better. I am thinking of getting a repeater for the car just to get better signal, unless you say there is improvement soon. Thanks Robert. -Mark
