So... I guess I have to leave sprint

in 3 months, my company is moving to a new building and there is no sprint service in the building. All the other companies put repeaters inside the building, but sprint wont. I guess everyone is migrating off sprint company wide.

your better off on a more reliable carrier anyways.

Sprint is very reliable for me.
LTE supposed to be all around me in the next few months and unlimited data.
Where else can you get that?

sprint uses repeaters, well femtocells, it's called sprint airwave for them but yeah, they can be put in place

where i work, sprint placed a sprint tower on top of the building for the area, then they put the airwaves around buliding as a benefit for letting them use the building.

when I plug my airwave in, it makes my network unusable at home and it makes my phone unusable for txt/calls.
1) txts exhibit a 15 minute lag
2) calls don't come through
3) has to be rebooted all the time
4) my phone doesn't let go of it when I leave my house

There are many commercial options available to you, even at the consumer level. Try a search on Google for "wireless 1900 MHz amplifier Sprint" and you will find quite a bit. As I was reading this post I happened to be on the phone with my CDW account manager and he quoted me one that offers 3G and 4G for up to 200 client devices for just over $1,000. That is a small investment from your company if they are saving more than that each year with Sprint's service.

Come on Root...don't be a fan... OP wouldn't have started the thread if Sprint works for them..at the risk of sounding like Eric, try another carrier...some of these GSM carriers are better for building penetration.

I am not a fan my friend.
Simply stating Sprint is rolling out LTE and services are ok here.
Also Sprint has the most understanding when it comes to rooted devices.
My reply was more to fixxer than op.
