Restricted Mode creates "Dead Zone" - Sprint - Nextel
A Mobile Phone signal (or reception) is the strength of the connection the mobile phone has to its network. Depending on various factors, such as proximity to a tower, the signal may vary. Most mobile devices use a set of bars of varying heights to display the strength of the signal where the device is located. Traditionally five bars are used; see five by five.
Generally, a stronger mobile phone signal is easier to obtain in an urban area, though urban areas do have some "dead zones" where a reception cannot be obtained. On the contrary, many rural or minimally inhabited areas lack a signal or have a very weak reception, but many mobile phone providers are attempting to set up towers in parts of these areas most likely to be occupied by users, such as along major highways. Even some national parks and other popular tourist destinations away from urban areas now have cell phone receptions.
In an area where the signal would normally be strong, certain other factors may have an effect on the reception, thereby making it either stronger or weaker, or may cause complete interference. For example, a building with thick walls may prevent a mobile phone from being used. Many underground areas, such as tunnels and subway stations, lack a reception. Additionally, the weather and volume of network traffic may impact the strength.
Sprint Nextel Corporation (NYSE: S) is a telecommunications company based in Overland Park, Kansas. The company owns and operates Sprint, the third largest wireless telecommunications network in United States, with 48.9 million customers, behind Verizon Wireless and AT&T Mobility.
Sprint is a global Internet carrier and makes up a portion of the Internet backbone. In the United States, the company is the third largest long distance provider and also owns a majority of Clearwire, which operates the largest wireless broadband network.
The company was renamed in 2005 with the purchase of Nextel Communications by Sprint Corporation. The company continues to operate using two separate wireless network technologies, CDMA and iDEN (for Nextel and some Boost Mobile subscribers). In 2009, Sprint reached an agreement to outsource management of its wireless networks to Ericsson. The transfer of the network and the employees that go with them is set to happen by the end of the third quarter. ... Sprint didn't disclose exact numbers on savings.
In 2006, the company spun off its local landline telephone business, naming it Embarq (which was subsequently acquired by CenturyTel).
Sprint Nextel launched its first WiMAX wireless device on December 21, 2008 (The Franklin Wireless u300 broadband card), and the first WiMAX phone available in the United States (The HTC Evo 4G) on June 4, 2010, utilizing its WiMAX technology from Clearwire Corp. Sprint Nextel has referred to these as 4G devices despite WiMAX failing to meet the ITU definition for a 4G mobile communication technology.
As a test I removed my own number from the authorized list in my Airave.
Now when I attempt to make an outgoing call, instead of using the local cell tower I just get a message from the Airave that says "We are unable to complete your call ... Message 12". This isnt good. It means every Sprint user within range of my Airave will potentially receive this message when attempting to make a call.
Incoming calls to the phone when within Airave coverage now go directly to Voicemail with no indication of a missed call or Voicemail waiting indicator.
I think, until I get this resolved I will open my Airave to "Unrestricted Mode".
