We have 507 Sprint sites including sites acquired through Clear. 371 of those sites currently has some form of LTE. Below is the break of those said sites. I'd also like to point out that 4 of those sites are Sprint Spark sites!

LTE Bands Accepted by Sites

• 1.9 - 254
• 1.9/800 - 64
• 2.5 - 36
• 2.5/1.9 - 13
• 2.5/1.9/800 - 4

Grand Total 371

I don't know how it is in Columbus, but in my experiences, most of the wealthiest residents use Verizon and won't know they're not covered by Sprint.

As long as these areas you mentioned are getting worked on as we speak, i say lay and tweak. Cause I'm still not getting but a glimpse of LTE in my area. 1bar when my phone is idle

I understand Columbus is far from full coverage. But they are quite ahead of 40%. Truth be told, Columbus is being launched with much more coverage than most cities did. Especially back in 2013 when they were mad rushing launches.

Could it be that the majority of the Network is upgrade for them to launch too early?

I understand why they did it, a lot of the city is complete, but, when you have holes like New Albany, Gahanna Shopping Areas, Bexley, Grandview, Livingston/270, Hilliard and East Broad Reynoldsburg, I'd hold my tongue on calling this market launched.

Gotta start under promising and over delivering. Hell, I may have held off until LTE 800 at this point.

Why too early?

Gotta use the quote button, but there are too many vital areas left without LTE.

We are officially a launched lte martlet as of today!!!

It's still recommended on going back to stock if you have a custom ROM installed. Tripped KNOX could cause you issues, but if you're back to stock unrooted, you have a better chance of receiving help as only being rooted before, may not be a big issue.

We'll need screenshots of your engineering 1X, 3G and LTE screens before we can speak on it as it appears that "booster" would only work on AT&T/VZW for data.

Does anyone know if Sprint will get a version of the Gear S?

I like my Note but I was just thinking about down sizing my phone to a watch and then buy a Note 8 tablet.

 

 

With it being a 3G/2G/WiFi device, I highly doubt it.

Go pick up Samsung, Sonic or State Farms and we're in business.

We need a Ting/MVNO thread in a dedciated section somewhere!

Maybe the mods can modify the title and move it to the appropriate area and just make this the Ting Thread?

Already have one. This topic has been merged.

What are our NV complete stats as of right now?

 

Excited to hear about the Note 4 tomorrow.... Anyone else thinking about getting it?

How about you uh..... Check those lovely stats pages we created for y'all.

Second, I was in the Sprint store today playing around with the LG G3 and I turned off WiFi to test the phone and the Spark symbol was spinning around! I thought that only pops up when you are on the spark network? I am excited but would like someone to tell me if they can where me if New Bern could actually have Spark. Thanks

All Tri-Band devices use the Spark logo when connected to any of the three LTE bands. Yes, it's very confusing, but it's the direction they decided to go with.

Also New Bern isn't a Spark market yet. Only LTE 1900/Band 25 is active there.

Question - is there some reference to the towers in my area that I could consult that will give me towers and the signals they are transmitting on? For example, if I knew a tower transmitting B41 in my area, I might point my omni-directional antenna in that direction to check the results.

 

Just curious!

Yes we have very detailed maps of Columbus for what's transmitting what. For B25 - LTE 1900 only requires being a standard sponsor of S4GRU. For B26 - LTE 800 and B41 - LTE 2600 it requires being a Premier Sponsor.

Now add some Huawei, ZTE, lenovo, etc. and we're really cooking.  Plus, offer them at really competitive prices.

I wouldn't expect Huawei in the U.S. 

On an iPhone. you can turn on airplane mode, then go in and switch wifi back on. I'm not sure about Android, but I'd imagine the same would be possible. Then again, this thread is about Wifi calling and iPhones don't support it (yet).

The Airplane On with WiFi on also works on Android, but I don't know how that affects WiFi Calling.

Totally possible you picked up b26. I haven't picked up any yet in the past 3 days. Which part of campus were you around?

Wrong person.

Couple of questions --

 

1 -- Does it make sense that I got B26 a few times but not now?

 

2 -- Do these speeds seem logical based upon everyone's experience?

1: Yes, may have been turned on for testing and has been turned back off

2: Yes, until capacity is spread out across the bands.

...and upping the amount that I pay to Sprint.

 

What got me to do this? Their business plans.

 

So I'll be getting unlimited voice + data + 3GB tethering on my phone for $45/mo with no contract (no subsidy, obviously). Plus another 3.1GB shared between a Zing and a Galaxy Tab 4 (which I'll probably mail to my littlest brother for use at college after I play with it for a few days) for another $45/mo, on-contract with subsidies slightly above the ETFs for those lines.

 

Consider this my vote of confidence in Sprint's ability to get Spark running everywhere I want it. I'm already nearly fully covered with B25+B26, and it's no mistake that all three devices I'll have (Nexus 5, Zing, GTab) are tri-band.

 

We'll see what happens. But I for one will enjoy having all of that legit tethering data at my disposal, in case for example Time Warner Cable decides to have another backbone failure, or whatnot.

Sounds pretty bad ass. I'd like to pick up those options.
