Sprint iPhone 6S repeatedly attempting to connect to B13?


Recommended Posts

I have a sprint iPhone 6S and I've noticed that my phone attempts to connect to LTE band 13 with an EARFCN of 5230 when I'm roaming. It does this every few minutes or so for a second or two and then drops back to 1x. Isn't B13 Verizon? Why would my phone be doing this?

How do you notice this?

The little LTE thing icon appears at the top every few minutes for a few seconds so I sat with the field test number dialed into phone and clicked it as soon as I saw it. I was able to pull up a field test and see the stuff under Serving Cell Info before my phone dropped back to 1x.

I was in an area where B5 LTE was the only available LTE network and my Nexus attached to it for a few seconds, but failed authentication. Never happened again since. It dropped back down to eHRPD.

Thought so. It failed to connect cause, sprint doesnt have a roaming agree with at&t. Just like Sprint doesnt LTE roam onto Vzw.

    • I posted this in the Nebraska Premier thread last week, but just wanted to share in this thread the progress that T-Mobile has made in filling in the great coverage gap known as Nebraska. Between late last year and this year, they have added 28 new expansion sites filling in the coverage hole, plus 11 Sprint site conversions in eastern Nebraska and far western Iowa. Notably, in the last month n41 coverage was added on over a dozen expansion sites in western Nebraska that were added to the network last year. For comparison, here is the very first map that I created in October of 2022 after we noted expansion sites outside of Sprint conversion in Lincoln and Omaha. It doesn't show any western parts of the state, but just know there was nothing besides roaming coverage and a little B12 coverage leaking down from South Dakota to the west of Valentine, NE.
    • Sent a copy of my DB in an e-mail just now.  Couldn't leave the house today but can hopefully get a screenshot when I'm out on another cell site tomorrow.
