Sprint or T-Mobile???

[cmack92]

It could have been his experience -- not everyone has the same.

I know, I'm wondering what Sprint reps told him they would do and didn't go through with. I've never been told something by Sprint and it not happen. I always try to avoid talking to someone from Sprint, because 9/10 times I will know more then they do. People have bad experiences on every carrier, I would check out.

Sprint Spark won't be officially launched here for 3-8 more months as they are converting 3-5 USCC towers here to Sprint. Yes, What sprint has said about adding the 9,000 towers is legit. I waited with Sprint after the Clearwire fall out, it's been worth it. I've never had a dropped call, texts never fail to send. My area was the top 100 worst coverage areas for Sprint 5 years ago,NV has been an 6000% improvement.. So in 2-6 years, Sprint will be close to pushing ATT to 3rd.

I can say for me I had reps tell me at stores that I was "Not allowed" to buy full price Sprint devices .. that I had to do it on contract. Sadly for them I know plenty about carriers and what I can / cannot do and knew this was a bold faced lie.

I can say with Sprint I rarely had call or text issues -- it was more the data speed. As for the claim to AT&T .. I won't hold my breath for Sprint or T-Mobile to overtake the big 2 .. at least not for awhile. Not saying it can't happen but just not going to expect it.

Ahah I see. That is something they would say. Nv2.5 will be the step that would put sprint right behind AT&t. FDD-lte is something I'm looking forward to

Can't assume Tmobile and Att will just stand idly by while Sprint surpasses them.
Secondly, simultaneous voice and data is not possible on Sprint. Par for the course with Sprint

It is very much possible on sprint. Its just not available on the new spark network.

I don't mind it, usually when I'm on the phone. I'm connected to WiFi

As if every network needs this.. I mean let's be honest, WiFi is everywhere..

If sprints network was worth arguing the point I would lol. I love that on Verizon I have volte everywhere I go, so I always have talk and surf on LTE. Do I use it a lot? No. But its very nice to have. Now if sprint works out their spark network and we get 1gb speeds, IDC if I can talk and surf. But I don't see that in the foreseeable future

Once Sprint launches VoLTE they will be able to use voice and data (like Verizon) -- till then though it will be a wifi only deal.

This^.
Part of NV 2.5 is VoLTE capabilities, and that is actually being installed on the tower behind me. People who talk about something that isn't true :?
Also: all it takes a computer chip to put in the base station to enable it at each site, which that could happen nationwide within 6 months...

Oh I know VoLTE is coming, the question is when? Definitely not happening in 2015. My guess is April 2016 at the earliest. Wouldn't be surprised if it came in 2017 too

Doubtful. Nothing mentioned on S4GRU .

Then another question is whether new devices will be needed. No one knows, but Claure.

You won't need new devices for VoLTE. It basically just routes the call through the LTE. If anything you would need a software update.

 

[cmack92]

Because you have to buy information from them to find out anything about it. But It's coming soon, hopefully when they turn on the antennas to the newly converted Sprint tower. It might be VoLTE enabled.

It'll probably be once the rollout of 800 Mhz rollout, which is scheduled to be finished by the end of this yeah. So, I'd guess end of the year or beginning of 2016.
