RAvirani Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Yep. If they so choose. Using Tapatalk on Nexus 6 Wait they aren't required to allow roaming with Sprint? I thought all CCA member were required to allow roaming on their network from all of the other members... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilotimz Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Wait they aren't required to allow roaming with Sprint?

Members can negotiate whatever ether want through the hub. Sent from my Nexus 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galaxyguy Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 http://www.s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/4897-LTE---nTelos-(West-Virginia,-N&W-Virginia)-(Shentel-Network-Vision-soon™)#entry440061 I just posted this in the ntelos thread. Has anyone actually connected to another provider's LTE network yet? It appears I connected to ntelos LTE this morning with a Sprint S4T (my work phone). It was a weak signal but I was surprised to see it. Edit: Can someone fix my link. It's not taking it to my post.

I think it is band 2 here in nTelos land but could be wrong though. I'll have to check to be sure. Checked it appears that nTelos uses 1900 Band 2 for their LTE network.

S4GRU Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 SCP will need to be configured by GCI suffix to identify Bands. Once we get enough tracking data from nTelos sites, we can get mikejeep to update nTelos Band info in SCP.

Paynefanbro Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 I believe digiblur said at one point he connected to C-Spire LTE but it's very particular about where it connects to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shockerengr Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Sprint has updated their coverage maps for voice and 3G&More - they have a new category for "Roaming+" - Roaming that doesn't count towards your roaming limits, but pulls from your regular plan. I think that's a great way to present on the maps. Their FAQ says it will still show as roaming on the phone, but at least recently for me my wife's S5 showed native while mine showed roaming while in one of the roaming+ areas. (should have been far enough away from the native network to not have that influence) Heading back down to that area again soon, we'll see what pops up.

4g4me Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 I'll be at CCA in Fort Lauderdale next week. I'll see what I hear. The CCA hub is run by TNS. Each participant may enter into an agreement with any other participant. The hub takes care of the signalling and settlement $ between participants. It operates in a similar fashion as a grx exchange. Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tengen31 Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Why Robert? What is taking them so long? Camping season is coming up soon and I need that US Cellular coverage in central Oregon. Only way for that to happen is for uscc to sell out to sprint. uscc will never be native due to that uscc still has to compete against sprint.

lordsutch Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 I just stumbled across this SouthernLINC press release from August with a bit more detail on their LTE rollout plans: "Mid-2016": Metro Atlanta, I-20 corridor from Atlanta to Birmingham, and Tuscaloosa area. "In 2017": Greater Montgomery and Georgia Power's service territory. "In 2018": All of Southern Company's utility territories. So it's looking like at least a year before there's going to be significant SouthernLINC LTE coverage that doesn't overlap with Sprint's current coverage area. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garcon Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 I just stumbled across this SouthernLINC press release from August with a bit more detail on their LTE rollout plans: "Mid-2016": Metro Atlanta, I-20 corridor from Atlanta to Birmingham, and Tuscaloosa area.

So it's looking like at least a year before there's going to be significant SouthernLINC LTE coverage that doesn't overlap with Sprint's current coverage area. So what's going on with SouthernLINC? If I recall correctly they have ~7mhz of SMR spectrum. Are they deploying 3x3 Band 26 LTE only and keeping some iden channels for voice? Are they deploying SMR 1x for voice? I can't imagine they have enough bandwidth for a UMTS channel and LTE. Or have they come to an agreement with Sprint on spectrum and/or roaming?
