Hi there.
I just wanted to quickly share the problem I was having and the solution I discovered . I recently got a new job at a car dealer that was using an Airave in the main building. I'm out in the shop so I only got 1 bar at most and no 3 g data just 1x because my phone would only connect to that stupid airave. On top of that I was not able to send or receive text messages and had numerous dropped calls and rapid battery drain. I called sprint but that was a dead end as I expected as was speaking with the building manager about a possible solution. So yesterday I started experimenting with different prls but couldn't get a good data connection with verizon but I finally found 1 of the sprint exclusive prls (52515) that completely solved my issue. My phone no longer connects to the airave and I now have 4-6 bars always and great data speed (in Sprint terms).
For anyone who has dealt with an airave you know how horrible they are if you're not in the same room. In fact I've filed a complaint with the FCC asking for a revaluation of the sprint airave due to the havoc it creates for anyone on the outer edge of its signal. Just ask those in apartment complexes, and sprints solution is to just get another airave. Not only that, I'm concerned that Sprint is much too careless in deploying these devices. A few weeks back I called about less than great signal at my house and was told the closest tower was down for maintenance, which was good to know. Then, to my shock, without even asking the rep tried to offer me an airave and described it as a "signal booster" which it is not in any sense of the description. I immediately declined and expressed my distaste for the dead zone they create. I just can't believe Sprint is offering these to people for issues that will be resolved so quickly, very troubling.
Hope this helps someone out there.
