quick question, does the iphone5 have a separate icon when roaming, i know the o means im in 1x coverage but is there another for roaming?

tks

 

No special icon, just says extended if you don't have a custom carrier name.

k so where it says Sprint it will say extended instead, thanks i havent seen anything other than Sprint since ive had it so i was wondering

 

It's ok. I travel a lot so I go through areas of roaming. The job-site I'm working at right now is a terrible spot for Sprint service, and I jump from Native to Roaming on Cricket all the time. And I think Cricket's data service is broken on that tower too.

It will say "extended" when the phone is roaming on a partner carrier in which Sprint has roaming agreements that you will not incur charges for; it will say "roaming" when you are roaming onto a network where you will incur roaming fees. I've only ever seen "roaming" when on an international carrier.

    • T‑Mobile Shatters World Record for 5G Uplink Speed https://www.t-mobile.com/news/network/t-mobile-shatters-for-5g-uplink-speed The biggest news in this is that T-Mobile only recently got access to n258 after swapping their n260 for it with AT&T and they wasted no time deploying it at SoFi Stadium. Hopefully that means we're gonna start seeing a lot more mmWave deployments in stadiums soon. *fingers crossed*
    • Would anyone else be curious in helping me compile a list of quirks for various devices/modems/chipsets for SCP? I've noticed that Mediatek chipsets seem to report more information than Qualcomm. I bought a cheap Moto G 5G 2024 and notice that it displays the LTE downlink bandwidth, and the NSA information of T-Mobile, something that my S22+, which is also Qualcomm, won't do. I'm hoping that we can convince either Google or OEMs to fix their reporting on various devices. So far across all Qualcomm devices I've tested: - NR neighbor cells don't report - NR downlink or uplink bandwidth doesn't report (NR doesn't appear with CA as a result, only showing LTE) - NR signal levels randomly stop updating for various period of time before continuing to update (affects CellMapper more) - LTE CA levels randomly report and don't always update quickly when CA changes   On the S22: - LTE Timing Advance (TA) doesn't work and always reports 0, reported issue to Samsung and waiting to hear back   On the Samsung Galaxy S series (USA - Qualcomm Snapdragon): - LTE downlink or uplink bandwidth isn't reported - T-Mobile NR NSA doesn't report band information, AT&T & Verizon work OK (n5 & n77 tested)
    • Definitely. There are still a handful of Sprint sites here that haven't been decommissioned yet but also haven't been upgraded yet and they're offline. I think T-Mobile really wants to keep them but for one reason or another is running into trouble.
