None of these maps are going to be accurate. Back home I shouldn't of had any 3G or voice access at all according to their maps, but my bars were always full. A long trip across the US also proved to me that their maps are wrong. Where I should of had tons of access, my phone was completely without service for 3 days of travel.
I have read several articles saying that Sprint will phase out Wimax as they move ahead with plans for their LTE network.
Does this mean that just Sprint (contract customers) will be phased out of Wimax and be handed down to Virgin Mobile (non-contract customers) or does this mean Wimax for both contract and non-contract customers will be phased out by 2015?
I mean, I'm sure I will have yet another phone by the time 2015 comes around, but just curious..

I believe the latter.
You may be right.. but if that is true, then that means both prepaid and contract phones will be using LTE after 2015? I would like to think Wimax and 3G will stick around for the purpose of the prepaid market and the fact that people will always want a "better deal" for sub-par network usage.
I'm just wondering if anyone knows for sure.
I'm not sure they even know yet. This is just their idea how to still make use of their WiMax service until 2015 as they try to launch LTE. I would like to think we'll all be on LTE after that![]()
Also, they will even be making use of 3G technology for some time.. for the iPhone, according to the link I just posted. So the transition to LTE may be quick, but I'm starting to think Wimax and 3G will be around for a while.
