Hopefully they roll right into announcing expansion during the earnings call!

Jug-Jug, that's fantastic! *said like Troy McClure*

 

It will probably be GSM/WCDMA only in Canada. But that's OK.

While I believe that 80% figure, and the second graph from this NYT article: http://www.nytimes.com/2015/01/11/travel/where-will-americans-travel-in-2015-.html?_r=0 seems to confirm that, there are some notable countries missing that I hope are some of the ones targeted for inclusion by the end of the year.  Even if they don't match T-Mobile's impressive list of countries, getting France, Italy, China & Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, India, the Bahamas and Caribbean countries, Australia and New Zealand would be huge for business travelers and vacationers.

Less than a month before I take a trip to Toronto in early June. That's good timing.

Activating second carrier (without CA) requires no fit, correct?

 

Just inserting the card, running a config script and it's online.

As long as 20mhz contiguous is free of WiMAX users, sure. Probably needs backhaul provisioning as well.

I wonder how many people still actively use WiMax?

TMO said 500k METROs still on CDMA, down from 9.3Mil 2 years ago.

[lilotimz]

Not even that hard. Adding carriers and activating CA is all done remotely via software updates/config changes.

No. You need a fit.

to add a carrier without CA?

[nexgencpu]

Don't know if this was mentioned anywhere on the site yet..

 

“Sprint started the quarter with 14% of the phone activators in our quarterly survey, and ended the quarter with 17% of them. This almost 25% increase in share of this quarter’s phone activators suggests that their efforts to expand their customer base have started to take hold. Similarly, T-Mobile started the quarter with 19% of the phone activators in the sample, and ended with 22%, for an increase of almost 20%.”

Let's hope this translates to positive postpaid signups, seems like it...

Of course, but it's still just software params right?

to add a carrier without CA?

FIT is done for every major change to configuration before it is widely deployed.

Yes and it's semi simple to do with anyone who has an integration and commissioning document for the site but it isn't as simple as just entering information for 6 carriers to utilize all the spectrum at once.

 

Extended test periods must always be done for any new settings.

Has sprint always launched 2.5 lte by the 180 day schedule date?

Fantastic!

Canada is being added to the free International roaming on 5-6

 

SWEET. Now I'm definitely planning to head up north to hang out in Toronto for a few days while the exchange rate is low make a side-trip after going to a conference in Rochester in July.

[JonnygATL]

Toronto is amazing - my favorite North American city, by far.

[awsum gam3r]

Well Well well, they need to come to Fort Wayne and do some of these tests. That's awesome for Dayton though!! Go Sprint

[derrph]

Times like this I'm soooo glad I have Sprint. On my side of town there is a huge recycling factory fire and the power is out. But there is a tmobile and a sprint tower pretty much in the same location of that factory. My parents T-mobile service is shot all the way to calling but my Sprint service is totally fine including LTE.

Fort Wayne. That is not a really big city. We used to have a member from there named Rukin1. He was banned. Do you know him? That would be crazy, lol.

The better question is, is awsum gam3r Rukin1, considering zip code 46808 is Fort Wayne.  Hmm...
