They are upgrading the entire network, not just cities. So they upgrade each site the moment it is ready. It is typically faster to have a rural site ready to upgrade than an urban site. Backhaul i

Your complaints are rather pathetic. To complain right in the middle of active deployment is ridiculous. The speed in which Sprint and Samsung have converted sites in Puerto Rico is unprecedented. E

Guys. Sprint is better than ever. No more drop calls for me from UPR to Toa Baja and vice versa. Very good LTE speed. UPR Río Piedras Campus have LTE everywhere and usable 3g if LTE isnt available. I'

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.

      I think the push for them is adding US Mobile as a MVNO with a priority data plan.  Ultimately, making people more aware of priority would allow them (and other carriers) to differentiate themselves from MVNOs like Consumer Cellular that advertise the same coverage. n77 has dramatically reduced the need for priority service at Verizon where the mere functioning of your phone was in jeopardy a couple of years ago if you had a low priority plan like Red Pocket. Only have heard of problems with T-Mobile in parts of Los Angeles. AT&T fell in between. All had issues at large concerts and festivals, or sporting events if your carrier has no on-site rights. Edit: Dishes native 5g network has different issues: not enough sites, limited bandwidth. Higher priority would help a few. Truth is they can push phones to AT&T or T-Mobile.

      Tracfone AT&T sims went from QCI 8 to 9 as well a couple years ago. I'm pretty neutral towards AT&T's turbo feature here, the only bad taste left was for those who had unadvertised QCI 7 a couple months ago moved down to 8. In my eyes it would have been a lot better for AT&T to include turbo in those Premium/Elite plans for free to keep them at QCI 7, while also introducing this turbo add on option for any other plans or devices. As it stands now only a handful of plans can add it, and only if you're using a device on a random list of devices AT&T considers to be 5G smartphones.

      My Red Pocket AT&T GSMA account was dropped to QCI 9 about a year ago.  Most recently 8 for the last few years prior.  Voice remains at 5.

      https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2024/05/att-announces-7-monthly-add-on-fee-for-turbo-5g-speeds/ Hopefully we don't ever see T-Mobile do something like this. Based on how I was treated with my Credit Limit, it's definitely not the same company it was before the merger, and it's entirely possible they'd try it.
