If we purchased this phone now' date=' and because Sprint does not have LTE yet, will we be able to roam on Verizon LTE?

Sprint does have LTE on over 350 sites and adding every day.

Our friend AJ sent this to me today as I had been asking him about SVDO as some had mentioned it would only work after NV was deployed and over 1x advanced...   here is what he said:

Like this evolte droid someone did over at android forums. Just wanted to give credit where credit is due in case you can't read it in the watermark. But this was done by novox77. I think it would be

Tell them that LTE stands for "limited edition" and that they better hurry up and get theirs before LTE is sold out.     AJ

At the rate they are deploying they seem to be much faster than VZ...right? Nation coverage in under 2yrs...

I'm not certain the rate VZW deployed. But given that VZW is putting 700 LTE on much less total sites, Sprints deployment rate is unprecedented in wireless history as far as I can recall.

 

VZW did not install 700 LTE at every site in the markets they have deployed. They just deployed enough for seamless coverage based on 700 propagation. They are then going back and adding more in existing markets for more capacity after initial launch.

 

So even though VZW LTE deployment had been fast, that has to be kept in mind. Sprint, even if it rolls out slightly slower than VZW, will actually be much more impressive because Sprint's scope of work is so much greater.

I can attest to that. Coverage is "seamless" in St. Cloud but I am lucky to break -85bdm. I went to Minneapolis, and I was getting between -60 to -85bdm.

 

I am currently getting -117dbm LTE in my living room. Poor

-117? Do you even have usable data at that low of signal?

Wow. Surprising. Upload isn't very good though.

 

No. But what would WiMax give at this signal? It's no wonder LTE won out over WiMax.

Yep. LOL This is at -121

 

That is probably not RSSI but RSRP (or another LTE specific signal strength measure). If RSRP, one conversion factor that I have encountered is to add 14 dB.

Scott, come on -- that is not even a remotely relevant comparison. Honestly, you should know better than that.

Lately in Visalia, I can barely pull those speeds with almost max WiMax signal strength.

Right. Clearwire is not even close to representative of what WiMax is capable of.

The fair comparison would be in equivalent spectrum (both in propagation and in bandwidth). And 10 MHz x 10 MHz of Upper 700 MHz spectrum is certainly not equivalent to 10 MHz (or even 5 MHz) of BRS/EBS 2600 MHz spectrum.

Completely agree...put WiMax on 700MHz at same bandwidth and see what happens....

Clearwire just put a foul taste on the whole standard as they were one of the only ones using it, and on that spectrum and the way the deployment went, it can't compare to what VZ has done on 700MHz...which is what the reg consumer sees...

 

 

BUT in Scott's defense it was like 3am when he posted that, and we all know he likely knows this anyway....imho posts at those hours anything is possible. lol :)

YES!!!

 

And I'm just thinking about it in simple market terms...Sprint will have LTE covered everywhere roughly that currently gets Sprint CDMA service(omitting the areas that have other providers like in west Kansas) right now within a 2yr deployment...Verizon seems to be taking longer to do theres...On top of that I'm still surprised that they are using little dots to mark LTE areas instead of a blanket coverage shaded map...

 

By 2013 end it will be interesting to see the marketing ploy Sprint goes with...ESP if VZ is still deploying its LTE then and not fully covered its service area...

Glad to know it's a solid device. And you are lucky you got to play with it at the HTC/Sprint event.

 

Yep, and a lot of good feedback from the crowds. Everyone who used it liked it.

Sprint sure does have LTE live in many areas now!!! :)

 

 

Welcome to the site btw!

 

Take a few min to read the section here to learn some more:

South Jersey is not in the first two rounds of NV deployment. But Central and North Jersey and Philly are.

 

We keep maps of completed NV/LTE sites in our Sponsor section. We are just starting to create LTE coverage maps in our Premier Sponsor section.

Yes it will be interesting to see what Verizon will say when they are still lighting up new LTE areas when Sprint finishes. I'm sure that will hurt their stockholder confidence in some way that a carrier less than half their size one upped them! :D

      Kind of amazing that T-Mobile is still holding onto that speed title despite Verizon all but killing off lowband 5G on their network. While Verizon is mostly being evaluated on mmWave and C-band performance, T-Mobile and AT&T's average 5G speeds include their massive lowband 5G networks that are significantly slower.

      Yup. Very true. We were originally on an Everything Data 1500 Plan, which got Unlimited Minutes thanks to Marcelo's "Loyalty Benefits" offer. We then switched to Unlimited Freedom (with the Free HD add-on that Sprint originally wanted $20/month per line for.... remember that?) because the pricing was better with "iPhone for Life", vs. the "Loyalty Credit" for staying on a Legacy Plan. After that, I ran the numbers and switched us over to Sprint MAX, especially for the international travel benefits. There's absolutely no reason for us to switch to Go5G Plus or Go5G Next if we're going to do BYOD by purchasing from Apple/Samsung/Google directly as we've been doing. These new plans aren't priced for current customers to switch to. They're priced for new customers, where they throw in a free line, etc. It's gone from "Uncarrier" to "Carrier". What a shame.

      Strange business model that they keep around all these pricing plans. 1000s of plans per carrier is reportedly not uncommon.  Training customer support must be a nightmare. Even MVNOs have legacy plans. A downside of their contract mentality I guess. Best to change contracts during a recession. But then all carriers try to squeeze out legacy plan benefits as they grow old.

      Everything "Uncarrier" is becoming "Carrier" again. Because of the Credit Limit that T-Mobile put on our account for no reason at all (and wouldn't change/update the last time I checked all the way up to the CEO), I don't plan on buying/upgrading our iPhones through T-Mobile. I'm going through Apple directly. Looks like I'll be going through Google and Samsung directly for our other lines for upgrades. Also, we're staying on Sprint Max given the ridiculous pricing for Go5G Plus. On Sprint Max, we currently pay for our Plan: $260 for 7 Voice Lines $25 for two Wearable Lines. (One is $10/Month. The other is $15/Month because the AutoPay discount only applies up to 8 lines.) Total: $285/Month vs. Go5G Plus (Per the Broadband Facts "nutrition label" on the T-Mobile Website): https://www.t-mobile.com/commerce/cell-phone-plans $360 - ($5 AutoPay Discount x 7 Voice Lines) = $325 The Watch Plans show as either $12/Month or $15/Month: https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans/affordable-data-plans/smartwatches So this is about the same for the wearables as what we're paying now. Overall, it's quite more than we're paying now to switch plans. Ridiculous....
