Quantify Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Interestingly... 55051 on my Google Fi Nexus 6. Does that mean we roam the same places as Sprint postpaid? Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk Yes. I am roaming on my Fi on all Sprint CDMA roamers. Including Verizon. And my usage counts all the same.

Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk It's true in the Tmo side in my area. I roam on Golden West Wireless and Viaero. However, I don't know if that's nationwide. And when on GSM 'roaming' it shows as native on the device. Although,on Fi it doesn't matter if you're roaming or not. Your normal plan usages apply.

Quantify Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Slightly ot here but when you roam on viaero do you get data, or voice and text only? Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ingenium Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Is that doable on a non-rooted device? If so, let me know how.I think it's possible with CDMA Workshop or DFS if the phone is put in the right mode. It doesn't need root. I've been unsuccessful in writing a PRL to the Nexus 6 or 6P, so I'm not sure how well either program works with current Nexus devices. But the correct Qualcomm mode is a boot option in the bootloader. If no one has posted it by tonight I can try to retrieve it from my phone.

swintec Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 From Reddit: These new PRLs come on the heels of the last release on 12/4/2015. There are two changes in the new PRLs. Several versions of the PRLs have been consolidated into 14 Sprint PostPaid/MVNO PRLs and 8 Prepaid PRLs. There is no longer a distinction between CL and IL PRLs so these PRLs can be combined as CL and IL subscribers will have the same coverage. The preferred Roaming Partner in Carbondale, IL has been changed. We cannot reveal the name of any of our roaming partners. This change does not affect coverage in that market. No changes, increases or decreases, have been made to Sprint's roaming coverage footprint with these new PRLs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WiWavelength Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 For clarification, does that mean that the domestic roaming caps on postpaid Sprint accounts don't necessarily apply to Fi? Yes. Google threatened to take away Android from any domestic operator that did not comply with no roaming caps. AJ 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trip Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Okay, so here's what I'm seeing. First and foremost, a massive increase in EV-DO roaming. It looks like Verizon EV-DO. In Geo 4, SI Wireless is added as a roaming partner. In Geo 8, Standing Rock Telecom is gone. In Geo 11, the nTelos eastern market is gone. SI Wireless is added as a roaming partner. In Geo 14, SI Wireless is added as a roaming partner. The SID list I have has 4305 and 4307 as SI Wireless, which is why it's listed. 1X and EV-DO, by the way. - Trip 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trip Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Wait so we all have VZW EVDO now???!!! Well, it tries to put you on Sprint eHRPD even if you are 1X roaming from Verizon, but if it can't find the Sprint eHRPD, it does appear that it now permits Verizon EVDO. - Trip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wireless Junkie Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 I have been roaming on Verizon tonight and unlike before, it shows 0GB of roaming used. Usually it will say X MB has been used, however is showing Gigs and showing no usage at all! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
