Why not just use WiFi calling?

I got it free from T-Mobile like a year ago, because we had really bad signal at my house. We get better signal n sometimes 4g with it. I think there's a YouTube video showing you how to set it up correctly

I have one also, it's in my second floor transmitting down to the receiver on the first floor. It works okay. I don't get 4 bars, but I also don't get dropped calls anymore and usually have 2 to 3 bars depending on where in the house I am.
Mine was free also because I complained about my coverage. I wouldn't pay too much for one though, unless you get a really good signal from the second floor that you can use.

Got one free from T-Mobile.
I was having almost no reception and this stopped the dropped calls but the gain is not like getting full bars while without gets none, if you know what I mean. It just makes the phone usable without having to use your wifi for calling. My wifi calling wasn't good for many contacts. They kept saying my voice was breaking up using the wifi so I asked t-mo to help improve the service for me and they sent the booster. No extension on the contract, no charge for the unit, and not even a charge for shipping.
Sometimes they surprise me with their customer service, and sometimes they just stink!
I guess it depends on who is "helping" you.
Bottom line, the booster works. You cannot amplify a ZERO SIGNAL so remember, you at least have to have something like 1 or two bars and it will work. They even replaced the unit after 7 months cause the signal was getting weak in the house so they said the booster was failing. Again, Free-99 for the replacement. Can't grumble about service like that.......

What does your signal strength read?

I am having the same issue. Is anyone living in the dfw area on tmobile network having data issues? I go outside I get 15 mbps I sit in my house I get 300kpbs. Ive called tmobile and they are looking into it. But its been like this for almost a month now. You should call them and tell them whats going on. First call customer care and tell them the issue. They gave me credit on my account because why pay for something that dont work right then they'll connect you to tech support. Good luck. If we get more people to call in maybe they do something nationwide.

You don't have wifi ? because wifi calling is great...but conversely you might try turing your phones wifi off at the house and restart..I had a problem at first as the phone would jump off the gsm network and on to a bad wifi signal

Problems with 3g data

Anyone else have the sprint version of this phone and have problems with 3g data at times. For example it sometimes says I have full bars but Facebook will say that I don't have a connection at all. I'm wondering if its the phone or does sprint just have crappy 3g in LA? What do you guys think?

OK so switch to just CDMA helped a bit but its still happening. I think it may be a soft wear issue. I hope that's just it.

That upload speeds are faster because they're not as heavily impacted by users as download speeds are. In other words, your local site is over capacity and its resulting in slower speeds for everyone. Once sprint upgrades your site, it'll be epic.

Cancel your Netflix accounts...

That application found in the app store is 100x better.
It has every episode of everything with new episodes updated as soon as an hour before it even airs (for me being on the west coast, things come on earlier on the east coast), situated nicely into an easy to use interface.
There are a few bugs, but they are bearable, and worth the price of $0.
I've been using this for about a month and I'm also thinking about canceling my cable tv.
Tell me whatcha guys think.

I have never heard of that until my friend showed me it like last week. You've got this plus more, and it looks even better and easier to navigate around right?
I was just sharing because it's a mobile app on the marketplace and people like connecting their phone directly to their tele to watch things.

great recommend on a new service plugin to add to my HTPC! I also won't be canceling my NF, but more options is always a better thing, imho.

Sweet. I don't use Netflix from my phone, but this looks great. Love that I can use it on my Logitech Revue. I use Icefilms a lot, but that doesn't work very well with Android. This works pretty good over wifi if you grab a link that is working.
Nice find.

who knows, but it's semi common problem, some apps never saw 4g as an internet connection, only 3g and wifi, happened with my old wimax 4g phones with certain apps, but i'll keep trying cause this would be great on the go, and since my area is completely covered with LTE, i don't want to have to keep switching back to 3g just for the app

Smyrna, GA checking in. Spring Road area, getting 28 ms Pings, 15 - 32 Mbps download speeds and 6 - 23 Mbps upload speeds. Seems to be quite sporadic, but still quite often close to my Charter internet speeds.
Not even close to mine. However that could be signal related. My charter speeds as tested by the blue ray on Netflix consistently shows 45mbps and as high as 150mbps even though we only pay for 30mbps. On my phone via WiFi its 30-40 Mbps to as high as 46 Mbps on the 5gig band. My best with the old 4g was 27 and late was 19.

Getting fast enough speeds. I don't run speedtests because such apps burn through 100s of megabytes very quickly and I only have the 2gb plan. But I did run a speedtest when I first activated it, and things were quite fast.
