Now, for those who want to continue this and SWEAR they have data and voice at the same time on Sprint, please, shush....

wrong, network is fully capable, but like att says, you just need 2 devices to do it.

it's amazing what you can do with simple epst stuff...

Just because the technology is there doesn't mean it was set up that way. It would cost hundreds of millions of dollars to get Simultaneous voice/data, it's just not happening.

Radioshack, represent!!

Reading a lot of your other threads I had a suspicion you worked for RS just wasn't sure though. That makes 4 of us that I know of.

Who are the other two? We should start a band of wayward sales associates, taking ATGs and doing cage counts with nothing to lose and everything to prove.

Doubtful. I'm still not really seeing data/call simultinaeity being useful enough to convince people to switch to your network. Especially when thats the only thing about your network worth noting.

Mr_Wrong_0, not very active on the forum anymore, and our Vogue/Touch Chef RSToyGuy both work for The Man; and we really should set up a group, even if it is just moral support

I doubt it but I hope so, I'm crossing my fingers for a CDMA/EVDO/WiMax hybrid but I don't think it'll really matter like bradart said, it doesn't occur to most people, but I would sure like it if my internet connection didn't tank in the middle of loading a page when I get a text

didn't stop att from dumping a bunch of ad $ on it.

and yes, it would be a big deal! I used to get that question ALL the time when I workED at RS ('02/03)

btw, i'm done arguing if it's possible.. any doubt'ers need to play with the epst in a few phones..

(but like mr.ATT says, just need 2 phones to do it)
