whats your RADIO the latest and i believe best is 3.42.50

Re: sprint reciption trouble
 

oh sorry about that...the radio is 3.42.30

Re: sprint reciption trouble
 

call sprint they don't have roaming... by this you don't get charged extra to go outside the normal service area IE sprint

Re: sprint reciption trouble
 

What do you mean by this?

i know w/SERO there is no charge for roaming, but I tjhough noremal plans charge for this.

My house is in a known weak area that covers about 1/2 my block (as per the Sprint coverage map) and would love to freely use Verizon's tower, but did not think it was an option.

Hibby,How do you update the radio, please? I currently have 3.42.30 and would like to upgrade to 3.42.50.

I am living at 77056 ... Galleria area !!! I look on sprint.com for signal map coverage and they show full 5 bars ...best signal ...In reality at my home , second floor , open view to the sky ...EVDO no connection , and CDMA not even one bar.... I called SPRINT a few times about the situation and they don't even know what is the situation... After I spoke a few time in India to customer service finally made it at level 2 customer care in USA. I explain again the situation ...NO SIGNAL .... they said ... your device is the problem ...I told her ..mam ..I have 3 PDA phones , one data card at my home and all acting the same way. No signal in my area .. and we talking about Houston Galleria. Also at my office at 77074 ... a few (3-4) month ago full bars inside of my office , sprint cards there was working perfect .... and now the sprint cards they don't even connect on 1X and the cellphones from my office there going in roaming and when I am trying to dial I am getting a message with "welcome in American roaming , your phone is not register so please enter your credit card " ...and my plan is unlimited everything. Customer care respond to this area code it was ...I am in a bad area and instead to resolve the problem they said is a device in sell for $99 connected to internet and have better signal over the internet. I think there are 2 points what we have to look over ...One ..sprint lower the signals in towers to make people to buy the device for $99 and in this way they make more money and also they take all calls over the internet and they realizing traffic over the towers ....In this case I need to cancel my contracts because i don't have a cell phone just to use it on freeway where is the only place with signal ....
I need help to find out how can I leave contract from sprint without to be charge the $200 . Legal I am right ....no service ...I can't pay ... I don't think so i have to pay up to 1000/ month when there is no signal ... especial on EVDO data cards ...Does someone knows a legal procedure how can I go out from this crazy situation ?
Thank you and I hope u guys not having this problem of the drop calls , no signal , no data ..and plus the data cards from unlimited like there was before they have now restriction to 5GB data transfer .... that's sucks :(
Thx

Dude, you do realize a HURRICANE just went through there..... things are messed up and LOTS of people are trying to make calls and use the phone. I live out in Sugar Land, and things are much better out there compared with where you are, and I can only SOMETIMES make calls and my signal is pretty crappy too. Just wait until things get fixed and be patient. Every provider is having these difficulties in the Houston area, not just Sprint.

just buy Antenna Booster antenna booster

Re: sprint reciption trouble
 

I just called Sprint yesterday because I have no signal in my house even though it is a Sprint coverage area and they sent me an Airave tower free and gave me the service free so it's not just so they can make money. Try being nice to them.
