Just a little insider info...TMO VoLTE (Voice Over LTE) is on the way... I just got done with a work order that is starting to kick off the beginning stages of VoLTE here in NJ. Pretty cool stuff!

After drooling over one for 2 years, I finally pulled the trigger(lol)... Its sitting in the cage at RTSP as we speak, just waiting for my permit to come in...I accidentally teased myself and put 3 rounds thru it and now I can't wait. Also, it came with 20 rd mags which have been limited to 15...so its not the regular 10 rd mags...FDE, 15rd mags...more recoil than a 22 but less than a 9, its amazing. Also, I really like where the safety is,ambidextrous right along the frame above the trigger. Not mine, but heres the FDE...

Thanks, we try...we're a team of 10 switch engineers, 30 field techs, and I think around 15 or so RF engineers for NJ, part of PA, NY, and CT...this industry changes so fast its crazy, last year this time we had almost no LTE in NJ, now I think we're somewhere around 88% of the NJ market has LTE with the rest to built out this year. Do you have our CEO's email? He publicly gave it out a while ago, you can easily google to find it...If you ever feel that you're not getting what you deserve(like from cust care), email him your situation and he will absolutely return your email...it may take a little bit, but I hear he will in fact reply.

Ok slow down lol...The Rock is a unique situation...Verizon forced The Rock into being the only wireless carrier to be allowed to provide actual in building coverage...been a battle ever since.

This couldn't be more wrong...There absolutely is better frequency to which can penetrate structure more efficiently due to the curve. Back in the day Verizon and ATT cornered a lot of the lower band frequency buying it all up and just sitting on it...fast forward to the late 90's early 2K's...newer companies had to resort to the "scraps" so to speak...whenever the government made/makes blocks of spectrum available to bid, your big money corporations are able to outbid the smaller guys...without making this too confusing for everyone...this simple pic shows exactly how it works...its like skipping a rock on water, a slim smooth rock(high band frequency) skips nicely across a pond...a big clunky rock(low band frequency) just sinks. Also, looks like you never really had T-Mobile...back then was Omnipoint and Voicestream and the network back then was utter garbage lmao...I'm here 14 years, and I'm amazed at how far the network has come. All wireless carriers are a BUSINESS. I'm pretty sure there might be a tiny section in their business models that talks about making money lol.

Ugh, standby...freggin site F'ed up the multiquote

To the OP, what are you primarily you sing your phone(s) for...and where? Look, I mean all carriers are going to have their issues. Ask 10 diff people and you'll get 10 diff experiences. I'm a switch technician in the engineering and operations side of the house for NJ. I can't really comment comment much on plans, or customer service as I don't have to interact with either lol...What I can say about T-Mobile, is that we are aggressively attacking the network as far as building out LTE, and monitoring the network. We proactively watch drop call reports on an hourly basis and jump on problematic areas. Three years ago I drove from Trenton to Wayne on a conference call, and the call stay completed the entire time, 6+ years ago that would have never have happened. The network has come a long way since back then. Also, we just acquired spectrum in the 700Mhz band, which help in penetrating thru structure(s) much more efficiently. Also, sometimes people complain and they just don't want to understand what can be causing the issue...I was submitting for permits and the dispatcher saw I worked for T-MO and she started off ranting about zero coverage at her house. I took her information, looked into it and it turns out she is using an OLD SIdekick and that the frequency that is covering her house is not supported by that device. PCS1900 spectrum, where we took 1/2 of our 2G GSM1900 spectrum and refarmed it for 4G(this is what allowed us to be able to carry the iPhone). All she has to do is use a newer device and she'll have full 4G, to which I politely informed her of. If you have any questions on any coverage areas, let me know, I can look it up internally, rather than that crappy coverage map lol. As well as any network issues.

I keep reading "GROSS" lmao

I've been eying up the Big Green Egg...glad to see some + reviews! Right now I have "Original" great balance between sweet and heat for all...this year I'll be experimenting with a couple diff kinds to expand on. I have a couple in mind, I'm open to ideas as well.

Nice man...thats BAD ASS! I recently started up a little BBQ sauce business. JTM's Homemade BBQ...Portion of the proceeds go to benefit children and adults with Autism. Website/online ordering coming soon! Site is being built but can get to Facebook, email etc from http://jtmbbq.com /

Also remember when looking at class prices, there is a $51 charge that goes to Utah...some classes that seem more expensive include this fee. Your "cheaper" classes will most likely not include this...inquire within.

Yea lol

Ryan Villopoto is my cousin, kid is amazing.

Storm Update: Heavy snow is about to blast CNJ/SNJ the hardest out of NJ. This mesoscale situation is evident by the starvation of moisture in PA and current mixing in SENJ (that will go to snow soon). For this reason the NWS has increased their expected totals to widespread 6-8 inches of snow. I think someone's going to see a foot in Ocean/Monmouth County. The chance of holy crap just went up to 30% Be safe! JC

Get ready...here she comes... Heavy snow is circled in red and heading straight for CNJ/SNJ over the next few hours. This is just an initial burst with plenty more to come. It's going to be a long night! The statewide chance of holy crap has been raised to 20%. The chance of dude where's my car remains at 5% Radar image reproduced from PSU EWALL. Be safe! JC

Hes added in a "5% chance of dude, where's my car?" LMAO! In all seriousness, it does look like we're gonna get walloped. Storm Update: Precipitation continues to fill in and should do so by 4PM-7PM today. Get all your driving finished by then. It will then crank tonight and into the early AM hours of tomorrow and clear out by tomorrow afternoon. Widespread 4-8/6-12 inches of snow is still a safe bet. Live-casting will determine who finishes with the highest accumulations (NNJ vs. CNJ vs. SNJ). There is still a small chance of over-performance with this system. We'll give that a 10% chance of holy crap and a 5% chance of dude, where's my car? Be safe everyone! JC

It just might happen...10% chance of holy crap made me LOL Storm Update: Two streams of energy continue to gravitate towards each other. When they meet, precipitation will explode over New Jersey and reach near blizzard if not blizzard conditions. I'm still thinking 4-8/6-12 inches widespread for the general region with a 10% chance of holy crap. The worst of it will not start until later tomorrow evening. Will have to keep an eye on over-running snow showers from the northern stream of energy. They could throw a little snow down tomorrow before things get cranking. This storm is a live-casting situation from this point on. Be safe! JC

Yea, hes saying the models keep changing.

Only weather I follow, best for NJ hands down https://www.facebook.com/SevereNJwx

Have you checked with any doctors if your condition can be helped with rehabilitation? I.E. putting a patch over the good eye, forcing the one with issues to work more/rebuild itself.

I purchased an Apple Airport approx 2yrs ago...not once have I needed to reboot it yet to this day. Very solid.

Cool. Hows the picture at night?

:43 I'll never get back lol. On a side note, what cam set up you using?
