When you make a phone call, you'll hear a couple of beeps before it starts ringing.

mine doesnt beep. at least my new model doesn't. my old 1x did. lol you can shut that off. as for signal locks i always use the gps antenna. have it routed and out side my window in my living room. the wife and her curtains and blinds you can even see it. it sites behind my entertainment center next to my modem and router. all hidden.

Follow their FAQ
This was meant to turn on the access control, but the same place you can set the Airave radio coverage area (3 levels, small, medium, and large)

Well, it only takes up as much bandwidth as you're using! So if you're streaming movies, it'll take that bandwidth out of your inet connection.

And for the chat rep saying they have to go to your house and test? wtf? you should have said 'ok' just to see what happened - I've never heard of that anywhere.

Haha, of course. I was only thinking of voice calls.

I hadn't heard of that either, and told the rep (Rocky B. was the name... hah) that it seemed odd to have people sent out, but he was insistent I HAD to do that to get Airave. I wonder what would have happened... The next person I spoke to said she wouldn't know how to even set that up.

Well after over an hour on and off/on hold with Sprint I was informned that infact I do qualify for a free Airave. Wait hold on........Nevermind....we were gonna give you the airave free to fix our shitty service in your house, but I see you already have 4 lines on your account and thats all you qualify for so......psych!!!!! Just kiddin!!!! nevermind you are not gonna get an airave...even though its free! Even though we provide you with fair to poor service in your area we would rather you suffer with your four 4g phones that maybe sometimes actually get 1x data reception.....lol....sprint is a joke....been with them for 15+ years spending $200 a month.....only been late a few days a handful of times and Im still on the spending limit plan.......it almost makes me feel bad that Ive been scamming them for a 25% employee discount for over five years after I changed jobs!!!NOT!! Grrrr....everytime I call them I get Pissed so bad..........sorry
