And yes, LTE will be put on that frequency. Sprint even just offically announced a few devices that support LTE in 850SMR. And the new SGS4 will be coming later on too. td4guy fucked around with this message at 20:07 on May 21, 2013 |

Is Sprint cool with giving out Airraves for lovely home connections? Is there a preferred number to call?

Got a free airrave (the lovely 1x/voice only one). Still doesn't fix the fact that the service is poo poo here re: data. They also claimed it would be free for 2 years. Going on 3+ now with no charge to me.

I already ported my phone and my Wife's phone (still have 3 more to move in a couple weeks) and they are connected to the Airrave right now. Ting Sells the same Airrave on their site, so I know it's possible to still use it. I just didn't know if I had to pay for it or not.

At the moment I have an Evo 3d. I'm up for an upgrade though and I'm wondering if I should get a Note 2, a HTC One or wait for the Note 3? I use my phone to browse the internet and watch videos, play music with one of them Lil external speakers, so I like the giant screen of the Notes, and the front speakers of the One. I love my Evo 3d, and I'm really going to miss the 3d bit, but its screen is smaller than I'd like at this point, and the speaker has always been way too quiet.

I am in the exact same boat as you and decided to just keep the 3D till the note 3 comes out... The Note 2 has been out for a while, and knowing that the Note 3 will be out this year I just decided to wait it out.. I do agree about the speaker, trying to watch or listen to anything outside with any type of noise you can't hear naything.

Gs4 is a possibility too, the speaker is way louder than a 3d.

I haven't checked on it but I haven't received any 'hey pay us' emails. Taking it on faith that it's cleared up since I don't want to go and check it only to find it outstanding and have to resist using some poor CS op as a conduit for my vented rage against the company's incompetence.

Sense 5 is leagues better then what the e3d had and the speakers are night and day. Other immediate things about the upgrade- The thin profile of the phone makes you feel like you've been carrying a brick around with the E3D. I was incredibly aware of whatever pocket the E3D was in, the One is larger but way less bulky. The speed- The S3 in the Evo wasn't terrible or anything but it did lag in certain ways. The one is 100% fluid. I've yet to lag the thing at all. While the Evo might not seem slow to you, going back to it will seem like it's become a snail. I can't wait to upgrade my tegra 3 tablet with something rocking a snapdragon 800. Qualcomm is killin' it.

I called Sprint it sounded like they would only give you one for free if you met some set criteria--dropped calls or poor reception on their map. My calls at home are mostly fine, I don't drop calls. My problem is when people call I wont hear it ring, or it will only ring once. So I frequently get voicemail notifications without hearing my phone ring. I've tried factory resetting my phone (GS3) and have used by Touchwiz and GM10.1 ROMs, and it acts the same. So it's definitely a Sprint issue. I got stonewalled on the phone, so we'll see how dan@sprint.com treats me.

Does anyone know how long it takes for Airraves to arrive? They said it would be here either Monday or Tuesday and it's still not here. They never gave me a tracking number or anything. Should I call and ask? I don't want to be a pain in the rear end since it's free and all, but still.

It's only one free Airrave per account now. In terms of criteria they never seemed to care much 6 months ago. If you have issues getting one, call care, say I want to cancel and talk to retentions. ID be surprised if they gave an issue.

They don't give you a tracking number because if you tried looking it up on their 3G service the airrave would arrive before the page loaded.

I got an Airave a few weeks ago by just calling the number and telling them I had poor reception in my house. They immediately offered me a free Airave after checking if I was eligible for an additional line. I'm not sure why they needed the credit check for another line since it's completely free. As far as shipping times go, I ordered mine after work on a Friday and received it the following Wednesday.

The airrave use a line on your account, so if you are approved for 5 lines it uses oke of those 5. Also if you have a deposit or poor credit they usually won't give you a free $120 device unfortunately.

It doesn't seem to give any better deals than the regular website though. Ah, yeah, that's new lines of service only, not upgrades as was implied. Oh well, at least the S4 is finally down to $199.

There are always methods companies can use to try and detect tethering. Last I checked, Sprint basically has overlooked the issue, but basically they can always change their kind and start trying to block people tethering at any time. Quite frankly, I'm surprised they haven't yet, since the other 3 do try and block unauthorized tethering.

Sorry I don't want my phone to look like a giant brick when I tell you I'm buying the phone because I like the design. They were so confused when I told them I was upgrading from a GS3 too.

Insurance attachment rates and accessory revenue are metrics that are tracked. When I worked there I told customers on more than one occasion that a phone was out of stock because they weren't getting accessories. That being said I don't buy cases either.

How much commission do you guys make on accessories? I only ask because it always seems like it's 95% or something. When I upgraded through telesales the guy I got was horrible with this. His sales tactic was saying "OK, and I've gone ahead and added an otterbox @ $50 dollars to the order" as fast as possible, hoping I wouldn't hear it. Guy went through every tactic in the span of 3 minutes- trying to scare me with made up stats, trying to guilt me into helping him out, feigned outrage that I'd "let him sell me a phone without protection". I'm pretty sure if he could have offered me a blowjob he would have. Oddly enough he had no reply to the idea that someone might want to actually see something like a case in person before buying it. If it were me I'd try and counter with some sort ofhalf rear end % discount.

I'm pretty sure if he could have offered me a blowjob he would have. Well, there's two things to it. There's commission, and there's "if you have bad numbers we will fire you." Commission varies job to job (I made 16% off accys at my last job, like 5% at the new one). Both jobs have one thing in common though, bad numbers result in loss of said job. Therefore, I make sure I'm taken care of money wise, but I'll sell what they ask me too money or no money (see also: wireless home phone). Goals are at least usually realistic either way, and the ones that aren't tend to change when everyone misses goal. Sales is fun (seriously, I enjoy it). And I do agree that most normal people should get a case and insurance.
