ITS A FACT!
I was watching the news the other day and they were talking about cell phones and who has the most dropped calls. Guess who was the worst? Yep SPRINT was at the bottom of the cell phone chain with the worst reception.
...
yeah cuz I can't remember the last time I had a dropped call! But my buddy who had cingy had 3 in a row the other day he almost threw his phone said it has been happening allot lately. Not saying cingy is the worst just saying those reports are worth as much as used toilet paper!
...
Dropped calls and reception are entirely two different things so which was it!
...
It was actually for what company had the most dropped calls. And actually reception has a lot to do with dropped calls. Cuz there is no way ur going to have full bars and suddenly ur call drops. But to get to the point it was about who had the most dropped calls. I have sprint and it doesnt really scare me cuz i havent had a dropped call for months. its just that i also WORK for sprint and this kinda hurts our side and customers talking ISH.
...
There we go with people talking about what they don't know. CDMA will drop a call if the channel get oversaturated with calls. You can be standing right next to the tower and lose a call. So you are wrong. If too many people are talking at the same time the call will deterate fast! It doesn't happen allot but it can happen!
...
To tell u the truth i asked my sprint rep that cuz i had people complaining about stuff like that. and this guy like is a major HARDCORE sprint guy. He said there is no way a call can drop if u have more the 2 bars. Im not too sure if hes an idiot but i doubt it.
...
He is if that is what he said. Please look up CDMA technology and you can read for your self!!
...
Each user is assigned one or many orthogonal waveform derived from an orthogonal code. Since the waveforms are orthogonal, users with different codes do not interfere with each other. Orthogonal-CDMA or O-CDMA requires synchronization among the users, since the waveforms are orthogonal only if they are aligned in time.
...
I new it was a copy paste. But I did it for a reason. If so many users are in one tower and are assinged a orthogonal waveform, how can someone else share it because they dont interface with eachother so how would u even drop ur call.
...
Let me put this as barney as I can.
CDMA takes an entirely different approach from TDMA. CDMA, after digitizing data, spreads it out over the entire available bandwidth. Multiple calls are overlaid on each other on the channel, with each assigned a unique sequence code. CDMA is a form of spread spectrum, which simply means that data is sent in small pieces over a number of the discrete frequencies available for use at any time in the specified range.
All of the users transmit in the same wide-band chunk of spectrum. Each user's signal is spread over the entire bandwidth by a unique spreading code. At the receiver, that same unique code is used to recover the signal. Because CDMA systems need to put an accurate time-stamp on each piece...

...
Only one subscriber at a time is assigned to each time slot, or channel. No other conversations can access this channel until the subscriber's call is finished, or until that original call is handed off to a different channel by the system.
...
I am frustrated because you are not reading anything. CDMA allows multiple users to occupy the same channel. But as more users do the quality degrades rapidly. Therefor you can get a dropped call with a full signal. That was my point. CDMA has allot more capacity to handle calls then GSM for that reason!
...
OK OK UR RIGHT SH*T! i dont care! Doesnt matter how to get the drop call. Im just saying they did a research on what company has the most dropped calls. And Sprint was number one.
...
Who did the research??? Point me to their findings? And that really doesn't tell anyone anything. Findings like CR is like used toilet paper! As is movie critics. I prefer my own personal findings myself. And that is every carrier has dropped calls. Hell my home phone yesterday had one! So you just live with it. ANd like I said I have had sprint 6 yrs and can count how many dropped calls on both hands. I have used it in Cali, NJ, NC, SC, GA, FL, VA, AZ, MD, DE, DC, NY. So I am not tied to one location either!
...
I would not say it is a fact, more like that's what the few thousand people they surveyed said. Those survey's are bogus and you should not take their results too seriously. I have Sprint for my laptop and it has performed exceptionally well everywhere that I have been. Im also sure that I can find many more people who can vouch for their service as well. I have not had any problems with them and it works for me. 🙂
...
But a PC card and using a phone are different. On a PC card u are actually using the Power Vision Netword (EV-DO) and on a phone u are using the Towers. Once againt, a sprint rep told me this. I wouldnt lie.
...
Were do you think EVDO comes from the sky? It comes from the same towers as the Voice. It is a different signal but same place. Like we said every carrier gets dropped calls. Sprint may have the most in one place and cingular might have the most were sprint has the fewest. There is so many factors that go into it.
...
Your post pretty much confirms that you don't know what you are talking about in the least. EVDO runs through the cell towers just like voice. It's part of the CDMA network. I don't know where you get info from but you might want to find another source.
...
Oh, sorry. I forgot Hustler25 is a network engineer and knows what he's talking about and we should just listen to his tripe and accept it as fact even with no info to back up his off-the-wall statements. 🙄 🤣
...
I just post that title cuz i didnt know what else to put but u guys go outta hand and started acting like complete idiots 😈
...
No see your wrong. You can't say people are idiots when they dispute something you put up as a fact. Thats like me saying your 3 yrs old and getting pissed off when you dispute it!!
...
yeah i get dropped calls all the time sprint not that great, sprint data is pretty nice when it works
...
Yea Verizon towers are bigger and taller than anyone else's towers, and their radio waves, cut through the air like razors. No wonder sprint can't keep up, with Verizon's superior "Super Wave" technology, its more than a radio wave. Thats why Verizon has blanket coverage across the whole US. They rock.
Can you hear me now?

lmfao 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
Here is an exceprt from an expert in wireless:
Q. So, Mark van der Hoek, what would it take to have cell phones stop dropping calls?
A. What is required is a network with a cell site on every corner, in every tunnel, in every subterranean parking structure, every office building, perfectly optimized. Oh, and you have to perfectly control all customers so that they never attempt to use more resources than the system has available. What people don't realize is that this kind of perfection is not even realized on wireline networks. Wireline networks suffer from dropped and blocked calls, and always have. They have it it a lot l...

what are you trying to say. Yes CDMA was invented for the military in the 70's. What's your point!
...
dumb point
None of this talks about overcrowding, you seriously need to read up on CDMA technology before you post anymore useless quotes like this.
