Hi to everyone guys. Just to let you know that time to time I'm still here. Reading news, your comments and waiting for great things in Sprint. I'm using T-Mobile for a while right now and Sprint signal is better indoor than Tmobile. Maybe for the antenna location. But almost every place I go, sprint is better indoor than T-Mobile. But T-Mobile overall is faster. And data and voice simultaneously is a must for me. Everybody must start getting scared when Robert stop answer your comments hahaha. It's time to go if that happens! Greetings again to everyone!

Hi to everyone Band 41 in San Juan and Bayamón is extraordinary fast. I'm waiting for VoLTE, Sprint are getting better and better over time but also AT&T and Tmobile. Spirnt coverage is better than Tmobile, I have both, and Claro. Claro have better coverage but very slow data service. Overall Tmobile have better download speed, Sprint still to spotty for speed for obvious reasons of 2.5 spectrum. Customer service in both companys are great. For me, GSM is more practical than actual CDMA. Easy phone swipe, easy troubleshooting, if you buy a new unlock phone is more easy to use (like the Nexus), there are more models and offers available in the web with a wide range of prices, etc. Just my opinon based on my experiences.

Hi guys. Like other post says, with only 6% of market share, a huge spending in network don't make sense. Is better for them to make investment on the places they need to retain customers. Puerto Rico is not a key market for them. And it's bad because T-Mobile, Claro and AT&T never leave Puerto Rico to the last. With the T-Mobile plan 2 x 50 totally unlimited there is no need for Sprint anymore. Unlimited everything, including tethering (7gb of LTE tethering and them reduce to 128kb but still unlimited) HD voice, VoLTE in Puerto Rico, better international roaming services, better phone updates etc. Internet Speeds are higher too (but Sprint have less latency and their ping to connect to the Internet is almost always slow and retrieve data soon than Tmobile. I don't know the exact term for that, sorry Robert haha) I test both and to be honest Sprint has better signal quality for voice and texts, but its slower in data and the value of their offerings is slower too. I will return to Sprint if they add VoLTE and tethering. And also Marcelo says that unlimited will not last forever. That means that in a near future say good bye to unlimited data plans. But I'm still reading, and searching for Sprint in Puerto Rico and as soon I see more value in their offerings I will return. But I'm here, because Robert is my favorite writer haha and I enjoy Sprint news, I love the yellow color and the Sprint brand if definitely my favorite haha. I hate magenta, but today they offer better value and that's is unbeatable and unquestionable.

Robert thank you very much for wrote this article. Is good if sometimes s4gru evaluate this plans and help us a little because at the end, network updates without clients are nothing. I wrote an email to Marcelo and other people in Sprint about the need of some kind of tethering in their plans and other value they can add to the plans. They don't hear. Now when you buy a T-Mobile unlimited simple plans they offer 7gb of LTE but tethering stay unlimited and reduce to 128kb. The smartphone became a tool, thats what I want for Sprint. That they can see the smartphone as a tool for work and entertainment. If you sum lack of VoLTE (that it's a most on Sprint and Verizon for voice and data simultaneously) + lack of tethering in unlimited plans and the fear that Marcelo will eliminate unlimited data plans you just can do one thing. Change! I have hope in Sprint but they are not listen to their customers. Again great article, thanks!

Robert you not human, you are an alien. Excellent article. Sprint is like the tail of the dog, is always in the back. But I really want to be part of the Sprint revolution and I'm enjoying all the efforts they are doing to be competitive. Claure said that more announcements will come in the next month, and maybe we can see Spark in Puerto Rico next year. Who knows. They continue making mistakes. For example, gear S smartwatch is more expensive than T-Mobile and monthly plan is also more expensive ($10.00) and not unlimited. T-Mobile gear is cheaper, half the pay of monthly plan ($5.00) and unlimited (after first 500 mb they throttle) I do not plan to buy it, but this kind of things need to be improved in Sprint mentality. They need to be more Uncarrier. . Just my opinion. Again excellent article, I will wait with patience and faith for those changes. Thanks Robert. (sorry for my English grammar friends, is not my main language)

Hi guys: Any news about Sprint in Puerto Rico? Spark, LTE Advanced or network improvements? Is to silent

Hahaha. It's happen. Sent from my SM-N900P using Tapatalk

Thanks for your answer. I'm not inventing my comments. Maybe I read bad, but there you go what I read. We need to wait to see this in real. I have friends in T-Mobile spending 30gb a month without any change in download speed. Hope Sprint don't change its policies. We believe things will go better in Sprint, but news like this hummm let us be skeptical. But I'm still happy with my 7 framily haha. This is a must! Sent from my SM-N900P using Tapatalk

One problem for customers under the Sprint's prioritization scheme is that there is no exact amount of data consumption that will place them within the top 5 percent of users in any given month, and the threshold will change monthly as demand changes. But Sprint said customers who typically use 5 GB or more in a given month will likely be in that uppermost tier.

Mrk. They say top users 5% is every person uses more than 5gb. Every of us. Congested areas is another confusing definition. They will apply that to all. But we have faith. We must wait. Sent from my SM-N900P using Tapatalk

I think not. Robert write an article about that. We will have iPhones in our hand that can never handle voice and data in Sprint. But in the future, when VoLTE comes to life we will see voice and data simultaneously again. For now if you have a Note 3 like me, you can still enjoying voice and data at the same time Sent from my SM-N900P using Tapatalk

Elkaku do you read the news? Now the people in Framily can only get 5gb and the data will be throttle. Thanks Sprint. I will not let Sprint, but this is the kind of decisions we start thinking in T-Mobile. Welcome back friend! Sent from my SM-N900P using Tapatalk

I have an LG G2 and I have no problem with LTE. But some time like month ago I have trouble receiving calls. People don't hear me when they call. When I call I have no trouble. Something is happen. With my note 3 I have no problem. Somebody know is other people is experience trouble with Spark phone in non Spark area? Let us know. My other family use iphone. They don't have trouble.

Jorge, I have some good speed test in Toa Baja, Bayamón, San Juan, Manatí and other towns. But you have a point. Unlimited is not very good with low speed. But let me tell you that I'm very happy with my services. Now in my 7 Framily plan I pay $94.02 for me and my wife $94 for two unlimited lines. I save more than $600 yearly with this. They applied government discount (15%) for the data charges. The signal is good and very few drop calls since the network vision upgrade. In summer they will release HD voice. And today they announced that is you have 6 Framily or more you can get Spotify for $5 bucks. What a deal! I tell you, things will going better with time. Sent from my SM-N900P using Tapatalk

Jorge, if you don't have good signal in your home I suggest you test the air rave, the wifi calling or change your carrier. Air rave and wifi calling are very good ways to improve your coverage. For wifi calling you need a compatible device like the Note 3 or the galaxy s4. The airrave is compatible with a more rage of devices but you must have some signal. Sprint is a good company and things are going better every day. Like others said, Sprint do not have a specific date for Spark launch in Puerto Rico, but lilotimz said that LTE - A is on the way. If any of this works, consider change to other carrier. Because cellphone in home is a most. In the future with 800mhz things will going better and better, but for now, you need something useful.
