nahhh...tmo is king..lol..only sprint cuz i live in the vi..callin att to find out if they really partnered with att

 

T-Mobile never partnered with AT&T. As far as I know, they only have an emergency call partnership with AT&T. In the mainland U.S. and I gues the Virgin Islands, they probably have EDGE roaming. Slower than Sprint's 3G.

Sprint has a 90 day policy on sim unlocks but you may be able to get it unlocked early if your account is in good standing and you're nice to the sprint representative (and they're in the mood).

T-Mobile partnered(bought) metro PCS, not Att; there was controversy back in, I think 2011, about AT&T merging with T-Mobile but that was a long time ago. D- Relo you either need to get your ears checked out or go kill your sources and throw it/him/she in the bushes because the info you hear on a frequent bases is wrong normally.

I finally made it back to the VI and sure enough, att has lte service.  Ran a few speedtests on my sisters iphone5 and its averaging about 8 megs down and about 3 up.  Not bad at all, so hopefully sprint can get something going pretty soon. In the mean time 3g has been good to me so far.

Tmobile's phones work with At&t if you switch the sim cards, and you will never get anything better than HSPA+, so there goes LTE.

 

Sprint doesnt use Sim cards. Just getting out there.

 

Not sure if I answered what you where talking about, I understand less than 1/4 of what you write!

Well the gs4 and the htc one on sprint both have removable sims, if you remove the sim though you won't be able to get lte.  I haven't sim unlocked my phone through sprint as yet but a few people over on xda have been able to get it done contacting their international department.  Some have also said that they have gotten their sprint One to work on tmobile sans lte of course.

Sprint is CDMA, and Tmobile & At&t are GSM. I really dont think the HTC One or the S4 support it. Its just like the iphone which has a sim card for LTE use. If there was any other carrier using the same 1900 LTE frequency as Sprint then you could probably unlock the phone put their sim in and have a LTE only phone. Unless you flash it to the other company. But no other companys support the same frequencys so I highly doubt it.

    • Everything "Uncarrier" is becoming "Carrier" again. Because of the Credit Limit that T-Mobile put on our account for no reason at all (and wouldn't change/update the last time I checked all the way up to the CEO), I don't plan on buying/upgrading our iPhones through T-Mobile. I'm going through Apple directly. Looks like I'll be going through Google and Samsung directly for our other lines for upgrades. Also, we're staying on Sprint Max given the ridiculous pricing for Go5G Plus. On Sprint Max, we currently pay for our Plan: $260 for 7 Voice Lines $25 for two Wearable Lines. (One is $10/Month. The other is $15/Month because the AutoPay discount only applies up to 8 lines.) Total: $285/Month vs. Go5G Plus (Per the Broadband Facts "nutrition label" on the T-Mobile Website): https://www.t-mobile.com/commerce/cell-phone-plans $360 - ($5 AutoPay Discount x 7 Voice Lines) = $325 The Watch Plans show as either $12/Month or $15/Month: https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans/affordable-data-plans/smartwatches So this is about the same for the wearables as what we're paying now. Overall, it's quite more than we're paying now to switch plans. Ridiculous....
    • Welcome back! That's similar to my best (1250ish). A few people have broken 2000 on good sites. 
    • Lots of new multi-carrier nodes popping up in Bushwick. Crown Castle Fiber node at Ridgewood & Palmetto:   Crown Castle Solutions node at Irving & Jefferson:   Crown Castle Solutions node at Wilson & Noll:  
    • I’m surprised they’re running a 5x5 Band 66 carrier still. In NYC T-Mobile has 25x25 AWS and they’re running 20x20 Band 66 and 5x5 n66 (in testing). Presumably when n66 commercially launches they’ll drop Band 66 down to 15x15 and go straight for a 10x10 n66 carrier like they did with n25. 
    • Austin has now narrowed B2 to 15x15 to support a second 10x10 n25 channel, this time entirely in PCS A-F. So T-Mobile now has 35x35 FD (n71 + n25) and 180 MHz TD (n41) NR live here, and LTE single carrier bandwidth now tops out at 15x15. LTE is down to 5x5 B12, 15x15 B2, 10x10+10x10+5x5 B66, so they now have 5 carriers each of LTE and NR, with 45x45 total LTE.
