johnabis Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Hello, Does anyone know when the Roaming agreement will become live so sprint phones can start LTE roaming on its partner networks? I am looking to buy a Nexus 6 as its fully CCA/RRPP compliant. I tried to ask sprint and they just told me to visit the newsroom for updates. its been about 8 months since this was first announced by sprint. Thanks, John 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yuhfhrh Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 I think speculation is sometime in 2015. I'm not sure how voice will be handled when roaming on LTE. ECSFB fallback to roaming providers? Or are we waiting for VoLTE? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think about how long its taken Sprint to do the NV upgrades. So I can imagine that it will still be a bit until they actually are fully CCA/RRPP compliant...

NV upgrades took a while as sprint had to upgrade there own network. with CCA/RRPP sprint is using another providers network that is already built. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dnwk Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 In my area, RRPP member Inland Ceullar does not have LTE. Sprint went in and build LTE for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas L. Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 I don't know any dates, but, I assume that, once the network itself is in place, it should be fairly easy to implement. It's just an update to whatever the LTE version of a PRL is, correct? Maybe digiblur can give some insight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnabis Posted December 1, 2014 Author Share Posted December 1, 2014 It was on the wall here back in July. see link below. http://s4gru.com/index.php?/blog/1/entry-367-will-lte-service-on-rural-roaming-preferred-program-partner-networks-be-native-coverage-for-sprint-customers/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dnwk Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 I just go to ask a RRPP member (Inland Ceullar) about when will they get LTE. The answer "very very soon". 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sprke Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Is this program ( thinking mainly of US Cellular ) affected any at all by the 9,000 site expansion plan? Desperately need some US Cellular coverage.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S4GRU Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Is this program ( thinking mainly of US Cellular ) affected any at all by the 9,000 site expansion plan? Desperately need some US Cellular coverage..Not affected at all. And we have been hearing increased chatter about USCC joining the Sprint RRPP lately. Maybe coming soon? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dnwk Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 That would be huge. And next step is a USCC buyout aka ntelos buyout? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bretton88 Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 And next step is a USCC buyout aka ntelos buyout?Buyout isn't going to happen anytime soon. Uscc has repeatedly said they aren't on the market. But an rrpp partnership would make a buyout seem like much less of a necessity. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmoses Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 i don't know if it has anything to do with CCA/RRPP or not, but i've been seeing more and more PCI numbers show up in my neighboring cell list that don't belong to sprint. unfortunately all the people i know on other carriers have samsung phones (that don't yet show PCI) so i can't use them to track down the PCI. it used to be i would see 1 here or 1 there and now its almost everywhere i go i'm seeing new PCI that i hadn't seen before. my main 2 guesses are that its USCC that i'm seeing and it has to do with this going live hopefully soon, or verizon has been installing XLTE around here and as more towers get that i'm somehow seeing the PCI from their towers.
