When and why did Sprint stop doing international unlock?

Thats a huge downgrade in their international services.

To improve money flow I’m guessing.

Why allow people to do an International Unlock to switch to a foreign carrier with an International SIM when you can instead keep them on your Global Roaming Plan that’s free for text/data ($.20/Min or more for Voice) , but has an upcharge for High Speed Data?

There are benefits to being on Global Roaming, as it’s clear and simple.

However, having the International Unlock option available again for devices on Lease would be useful.

So I wanted to post this and see what you guys think. I think this may be sprint .. what do you guys think ?

Since sprint is the carrier that still needs to fund the largest scale deployment

Highly likely that it's Sprint. John specifically mentioned zayo in his 5G chat with fiercewireless.

Look like Verizon gets to keep all the MMWave spectrum that T-Mobile was trying to make the FCC block

So now what’s next T-Mobile? But I believe they have some but it’s in different places if I’m not mistaken. Sprint has their high band for 5G, ATT has theirs as well as Verizon.

They have 600Mhz [emoji6]
600 mhz tops out at 20x20 in some areas. Less than that in other areas. Mine they got 15x15. That's not enough for 5G.

They will have to wait until November to bid on the new auction if the FCC goes with its plan without delays. This is where Sprint needs to go ballistic and deploy those massive radios.

Well count yourself lucky. In my area TMobile only has 10 megahertz 600 band.

Took a look at this article this morning .. I hope this doesn't effect sprint in any way as they seem to really be pushing for the network this year

I noticed this interesting addition to the “Why Sprint” section of the Website: Coverage Map Comparison Slider for Kansas City area (2014 vs 2018)

https://www.sprint.com/en/landings/network.html?INTNAV=TopNav:WhySprint:Network  

Scroll down towards the bottom to see it.

Pretty much every site has been upgraded in NYC and then some. It's just that KC is their home market so they used that.

I’d love to see this comparison for other markets across the country as Sprint makes progress on its network upgrades this year.

    • My s24 Ultras auto updated to April 1 security patch over night. Not on wi-fi.  Play system remains at March 1. No notice that update occurred on screen.
    • Got the latest update. On my S24 ultra the NR-ARFCN display remains constant (which is inaccurate according to diags) while n41 and 38 toggle back and forth.  I updated then rebooted before testing. Two sims active. My security patch level updated automatically to April 1 before this update. Diags sent while n38 was displaying.
    • 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?
