Sprint 3G down

I live in Maryland and as of 11:30 I have no 3g. Does anyone know if there is a way to check on 3g outages? Thankfully I have roam control and am able to at least use verizon's 1x. I need 3g!

New Jersey here and my 3G is working on sprint.
Try rebooting?

I'm in arlington and 3g is working here, sorry if that doesn't help but its close to maryland

Rebooted, switched radio on and off no luck. My radio is good because when I switch to verizon's tower using roam control I get 1x data. Slow but it something.

Good to hear. Too bad we don't have 4G yet. Lol.

You're telling me. Its really annoying to know that there is 4g just 20 minutes down the road.

Was a known issue, though I was told it was only supposed to affect EVO's 3g. I'll inquire tomorrow, but I doubt I'll get anywhere.

I have a Evo. Unfortunately 4G is acting like a "B" also :-(
r0cky.Da.3v0.SU

Mine went down to here in Cincinnati OH, right in the middle of streaming the game. (4g picked it right back up though)
I had full bars, and without moving I had nothing for a good 10 minutes before deciding to switch to the battery-draining 4g.

thanks. I called sprint yesterday and first tier support tried to insist I hard reset my Epic,even though i told them I have three Epics and an Evo and were all seeing same problem. I called second tier directly and they told me there were network issues and not to reset.

For future reference - do you have a direct number for them, or is it the usual "I want to speak to level two"?

Even Sprint employees don't have a direct line for them, they got rid of that last year. That being said, the EVOs were having data connectivity issues, and somehow it expanded into the Epic, Moment and Hero as well, but in a more limited scope.

Verizon tab and txt msgs.

Nice that verizon has txt msgs on the tab, but not nice they don't tell you they charge 25¢ per! The rep didn't even know they charged extra for it! That is just down right wrong not to tell the customer!

Yes, I've paid for a couple of spams too, I looked for a way to turn messageing off, but haven't been able to get it below 10 messages per conversation.

I called customer service and asked them to block my sms number and I just use google voice. Works great and it's free.

I had the same problem with tmobile. I am supposed to get unlimited text and 5gig data, but they were charging me 25 cents per text.
When i called the acted like they didnt know anything and took two months to fix.

I was told that Verizon to Verizon is free and the for $5.00 a month I can ad 250 texts. Is this true?

Verizon to Verizon is only free with the non-$5 text packages.

I just installed "Sync SMS" and its pretty cool. It sends texts from your phone to your tablet via Dropbox. You can send from tablet through your phone number as well. Cost 3 bucks, but certainly good enough for me at the moment.

I got that error too. I think it is because the storm here in Chicago knocked out a tower.

My sprint employee friends are telling me there's a national texting outage..
Ironically I was reflashing a rom right when it must have started, all of a sudden I boot up and try to send a text and start getting that error.. haha
Apparently its network related tho

It's a nationwide texting outage. Talked to sprint. They're working to get it fixed. Mine seems to be fixed already.

I only got that message once. Other then that, I never had any problems texting.
Sent from my Frozen over Epic.

I was in the middle of a few conversations when I started getting those 9230 errors. Thought it was my phone at first since I had just flashed a new rom, but then my friend's blackberry would not sent either so I figured it was an outage.

I have texting but one of the towers got messed up in the Chicago storm and only have like 3 bars instead of full!!!!

Tmobile Is having service issues ATM

Everyone you can stop making posts in the dev section about text messages, Tmobile is having service problems at the moment so please refrain from thinking its a ROM issue....

Everything is working fine with me.

Yeah they sure are... I've noticed many people have the delayed text message problem. I too thought it was a rom issue but I guess not. Any idea on how long until things are back to normal?

Can confirm problem with SMS for TMO

No I got confirmation earlier from a buddy that the service is down.
M&S

Anyone know if its affecting data at all? I ask because my phone has lost data on two roms so far today whereas my wife's Nexus S running stock, rooted ICS is having no issue sending or receiving texts or data.

I too lost data. Can't get it to connect at all

OK so talked to T-Mobile anyone in California might be experiencing problems due to downed towers if you call and go threw all the basic stuff they can try and reset your network. Might help get data back. Should be all fixed tomorrow 8 in the morning according to the Rep...

I was having problems with slow data since about 4pm yesterday, and was having issues with wifi calling from like 2000-2300 yesterday night. Wifi calling came back before midnight, haven't checked data yet because I've been on wifi.

Sprint verifying discounts!

Well after probably 3 years of getting a 23% discount from my previous employer sprint is now asking for employment verification. So the one thing that was keeping on sprint will now be lost on Sept 26th. Looks like it's time to make the switch to Verizon. Anyone else get the message asking for verification or is it just something they do after x amount of time?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda app-developers app

Not yet. Been on employment discount for about 1.5 years...
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium

I have been getting it for about 3 years and no questions yet

I got a message on the website that I assume is about that but it was very cryptic.
Your Sprint service discount requires proof of eligibility, which you may be asked to provide to continue participation in the program.

I assume it is talking about the employee discount. Where did you see a date mentioned?

I got a text message telling me to go to www.sprint.com/verify. On that site lists the date.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda app-developers app

This is something that they do randomly. They have always done it in one fashion or other. I had to do it a couple years ago, and they just called me.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium

I got the text yesterday, and gave them my e-mail, but I still have yet to receive that e-mail on my work address.

Yeah, for the first 10yrs i had sprint, I was on a retail employee plan ($15 a month) even though i hadn't always worked in retail. they called me twice in that 10yrs asking about if i was still working for xxxx and that there were "better" plan options now etc. With t-mobile going back to truly unlimited data, i may be switching....

I got it too yesterday and have had the discount 2 years (didn't know about it earlier as I had a military discount until then).

On another forum, a Sprint CSR is advising you only need to re-verify when you *upgrade your phone.*
Sprint inadvertently sent out the text to everyone. I just got another text today:
"We unintentionally sent you an SMS message yesterday regarding your Sprint discount. Please disregard. No action is needed."

Got another text today indicating yesterday's text was an error and no further action was needed.

I didn't get the second text. I'm glad to hear that though. I was worried I'd actually have to verify it!
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda app-developers app

I got one as well. A message when I login to Sprint and then I got a text a few days ago. However I am legit so I can verify my discount :laugh:

So like... you're complaining and want to switch carriers because for three years you've been getting a discount for a company you haven't even still been employed with, and Sprint wants verification rather than just letting you continue to get a discount that hasn't applied in years for you?
Go to Verizon. You deserve to pay more.

That's the thing if I wasn't getting this discount by the time I applied my current employers discount for Verizon I'd be paying less just not unlimited data, which is fine for me because I'm on wifi 70% of the time anyway.

Regardless, you are essentially stealing from Sprint... and whether they know that or not, their profits are hurt by it. I can guarantee that you're not the only one, so while your impact alone may not be much, every thief adds up. Losses like that are always passed on to the customer, so you are slowly but surely hurting the rest of us. Thanks, buddy

There are discounts that everyone can get legitimately. No stealing required. I have had a 25% discount, and it's available to anyone willing to go through a few hoops.

Perhaps you would like to describe these hoops and discounts.
