At&t iPhone 5 secretly supports future Sprint lte bands

The cellular band (Band Class 5) is not a future Sprint band. Sprint uses band class 26 which happens to encompass the cellular band, but Sprint has no cellular spectrum; they're using band class 26 for their SMR spectrum, which the at&t iPhone does NOT support. As far as PCS, they are currently using the PCS G block which requires band class 25, not band class 2 which is what the at&t iPhone apparently has.

Both of the CDMA versions will be the same though, meaning that if it was hacked (or if sprint and vzw have some type of roaming agreement on LTE) the phone could support both carriers current LTE offerings. Future offerings from sprint or VZW are both not supported by the iPhone5, sorry...

One thing you have to realize is that the Sprint nanoSIM is not designed to recognize Verizon LTE. It would take a SIM swap to give that feature life if Sprint & VZW come to an LTE roaming agreement.

    • Was able to install the March 1 Android security patch. Seems slightly more accurate with 5g ca band id, but can not swear by it. Updated google play system update through the software information screen to March 1. *#73# still works. Froze updates waiting on SCP update beta to fix n41 showing as n38.
    • Just installed it. Thanks for the info.  71 mb mar 1st date.
    • There's a permit for a new 47 story building at 205 Montague St in Downtown Brooklyn. The problem is that  T-Mobile eNB 48352 is on the building next door and this new building will block two out of 3 sectors of the site. For reference, the new building will be roughly as tall as 16 Court St which is right across the street. This site is the primary site covering Cadman Plaza so I wonder what the plan is. Will they just try to change sector placement, move to a different building, or will this just speed up the conversion of the Sprint site at 25 Monroe Place?
    • At least not recently.  I think I might have seen this a year ago.  Not Sure.
    • Did they previously hop between n38 and n41 in prior version of SCP, or have you always seen n41 displayed properly?
