Not for me. Getting them into the building where I work is not an issue. Getting them out on the other hand is a problem. If found on your on the way out they'll be taken and you may get it back at the end of 7 days... or you may get fired.

Yeah. It's kinda weird because I scanned the area for towers and found that there is only 1 in my area. It's a mile or so away from me too. The cable guy couldn't even get a signal in my house with his T-Mobile phone where as I had 2-3 bars on my Prevail.

Every carrier has their own dead zones, this just happens to be 1 of T-Mobiles I guess. He can probably go a mile down the road and have full signal. lol :D

in my area i do get better coverage than boost or sprint. i can make and receive calls indoors. and the galaxy s3 is going to be better than the evo 4g lol

and as for the capping they are doing it with boost now too. dont know if you have noticed. went from 1.8mbps to like .5 max 1mbps. i already opened the account on tmobile like an hour ago and they guy is going to hold 2 s3 for us on thursday. plus i get a discount from my job so its like $80 for 2 lines unlimited text 1000 minutes free mobile to mobile, nights and weekends, and free wificalling. and up to 2gb highspeed data. and in my experience i have gotten better customer service from tmobile so far than i ever did with boost.

That's pretty cool man! But fir some reason the compass does not point to where the tower is on the map? Kinda strange.. also my tower doesn't say boost mobile like yours, it just shows the "EVDO" still cool, I always wondered where my tower was at home because I get good signal here :) I uses to get a decent signal at work but a few months ago it got bad and never came back to what it was yet :(

Are you running CTMod? :confused:

The compass may be a CTMod thing. I don't think Blood has fixed it yet.

Haha yep I got CTMod, I forgot about the compass thing.

Here is something interesting ..... the cell tower at work is twice as close as the one at home. But yet I get half as much signal at work. Lol

What is your line of sight at work vs home?

Actually both are pretty much wide open. But the one near work is a heavily populated area, the tower is downtown and the close nearby neighborhood is a lower income area next to the main Boost Mobile store around here. I would imagine there are a ton of boost phones right in this spot compared to the tower about a mile away near home. I know more users means slower speeds, but I'm not sure if that is also accompanied with lower signal (less bars) ??

Naw, we only see Pine trees at X-Mas in So. Cal :D

Maybe its because all the water trapped in the needles of the Pine tree's?

lmao!! Ohh don't I know it. Didn't even check to see where you were from or I wouldn't have even asked the question. I live in Ca too. Only pine trees we have are up in the mtns. :p

Actually, it's the sap in the trees that causes the problems.
