I know that Sprint has been installing and turning on this
capability in several cities. I guess those are "test markets".
i.e., not "nationwide". Just a matter of semantics, I guess.

It's more than semantics. Verizon announced specific markets, SPCS hasn't

Your earlier posts said:
"When SPCS does an upgrade to their system, they do it nationwide"
and
"When they do though, it should be systemwide, instead of specific
markets as Verizon has done."

I was simply pointing out that they _are_ doing it, and it's not
systemwide. You seem to be focusing more on the "announced" part
of it, and I'm talking about the "implementing" aspect of it.

I've had sprint for 4 to 5 years and for the most part have been completely
satisfied. Was thrilled when my TP2200 phone got replace with a Sanyo
RL7200, much better signal strength. Over the last 4 months things have
gone down hill. Words get dropped while listening and started getting many
dropped calls. I usually have 2 to 3 bars on the antennae. What I find odd
is that this happens much more frequently on nights and weekends, like the
tower I'm on is overloaded. After 9PM during the week, I can't stay
connected to my home phone (land line) for more than a few minutes, same
holds true for most of Saturday and Sunday.
Sprints local service center is no help, updated phone firmware and PRL and
it worked the same. Had the phone replaced with a flip Sanyo RL7300,
exactly the same problem. I can drive 2 miles away and stay connected
forever. A friend less than 1/2 mile from me is having the same problem.
While I guess one could say your in a dead zone, it wasn't dead for the
previous 4 or 5 years, everything worked great. *2talk is of no help, the
last time I called the girl said I'll have someone go out and boost the
signal in your area, yeah right.
I don't do anything fancy, no text messaging, no downloads, no picture
sending, all I want to do is talk. Any ideas on who to complain too, sent
an email yesterday to sprintpcs but haven't heard back from them. Is my
only recourse to change carriers?


In case anyones interested, I still have the problem. The trouble ticket
that was opened on the 10th was closed as "problem fixed", which of course
it was not. Opened another a few days later, and just got a call a few days
ago that the trouble call was closed and an "area wide trouble ticket" was
opened, whatever that means. I'm hoping they take this seriously enought to
do something because I just don't want the hassle of changing providers.
