Airave: Getting Great Signal Reception At Home - Page 4

bigcwood79 · 10/09/2009, 02:11 PM

Well... I'm in the same boat as a few of y'all. Called Sprint CS to order the airave on Sept 10. Was told it would be a couple of weeks till the unit was in stock. I would then receive an email with tracking #... Well, still no email/no airave. Kinda irritating, but it's not costing me a penny so, I haven't complained to Sprint so far. Any ideas on when this should happen?

Called Sprint on Friday and spoke with the retentions department...had to pay $1.07 tax for the device but they waved the fee for the device and service charges..told me it should arrive on Wednesday.

Mine was FINALLY sen out yesterday! I should have it on Friday!

Well, mine finally came in yesterday; five days after my complaint post on here... The precentral "gods" probably notified Sprint to send it.

Got it set up last night and it's working great. Great signal throughout my entire house. Highly recommend this for anyone with dropped/missed calls at their home/office. Thank you everyone on here that recommended this device.

I got mine today (was back ordered) and set it up! I have a signal in my basement now! Now I will stay with Sprint for another 2 years atleast. (Got the Airave through retentions, have a good Corp discount, and I love the Pre) Life is good again.

I just got my Airave today. I LOVE it! 4-5 bars 90% of the time. Great and easy access for phone calls! Slow for the internet but thats what my WiFi is for! Over all it was free and monthly charge free. Worth the wait!

I also got the monthly fee waived, but took the unlimited plan, I was told your anytime minutes apply, even when mobile to mobile, since the systems sees it as a VOIP. That was what the rep told me.

Took my Airwave back since it was reporting my GPS location incorrectly.

Once you have a couple cell phones, wifi, and a mini Cell phone tower in your house, are there conceivable health concerns with that many signals bombarding your brain with in the confines of your home?

Just got off the line with Customer Service, after 4X with other persons and dropped calls (which likely helped my case). They said I was "eligible" for the device, with no monthly service and no fee. Speak with Account Services or an account manager, tell them you have had the same trouble multiple times before, and you should be eligible for the device! Good Luck! By the way, it is on back order "4-5 weeks".

I Wanna Try Airrave before I spend too much money...

Hybrid AWD · 11/17/2009, 04:07 PM

I tried getting the airrave and they told me my area had "fair" coverage... and wanted me to buy the unit. I told them, not only am I not gonna buy the unit, I'm not gonna pay an additional fee on top of my monthly service charges to get reception I should already have.

It's disappointing considering I have been with Sprint since 1999 without any payment issues or complaints.

I got my airave in September after switching to Sprint from T-Mobile due to poor coverage at home. Unfortunately a few weeks ago it quit working and after a few calls to Airare Support there was nothing they can do but replace it but since they're on backorder I have no service (or Roam Only). Anyone know what the current timeframe is for receiving the Airave?
