Around here my phone is always on 800. Must be prioritized because I am rarely on 1900 even when I by my legacy site. The voice experience on sprint has been nothing short of amazing. Now if they can get these LTE towers all with band 41 and finish the two remaining sites. All the frustration would disappear. The cover that band 26 is giving off of some of these optimized sites are very impressive although speeds are so so around 2-8mbps.

My LG G3 used to be on 1x800 a lot in my town, but something changed, probably a PRL update, and now I never see it switch to 1x800 anymore.

Do you need to be on 1x800? Are you in bad service areas. That is the only time 1x800 is needed. And rural.

It can been network based as well. For example, in the Missouri market I idle on PCS 1x, however when I cross over into the Kansas market, when I am not on LTE I idle on SMR 1x.

      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.
