Wahoo! US Cellullar (and other) EV-DO Roaming Is Live

[jaybiz81]

I'm up in Maine and USCC 3G is working great.  I had to do a PRL update and restart the phone, but I'm consistently getting between 1 to 2 Mbps down.

 

I did discover something interesting.  Occasionally, my phone would lose the 1X voice carrier and only have the EVDO carrier connected.  In these instances, the roaming icon would disappear from my phone and all roaming warnings would disappear until it picked up the USCC 1X signal again (or hopped onto Verizon 1X voice and data).  I'm obviously aware it wasn't a Sprint signal, but this could mislead the average consumer.

 

Overall though, a great experience with roaming here.

This article seems to think USCC+T-Mobile deal is coming.

 

It does seem like USCC's decision and Sprint having more roaming partners are in a stall.   Maybe it is Sprint, or USCC is negotiating with both and in a stall.

Yes, but LTE roaming with Sprint or T-Mobile? Obviously I would like Sprint to strike a LTE deal with USCC.

Sprint should talk to masa buy/merge with us cellular out with the name sprint. Back into 3rd place with expanded coverage. Roaming deal with Tmo, swap useless spectrum or sell to whoever, buy the spectrum in pr/vi release a new map tout best network. Hurry up and get all the major metros with 2xca before the name change takes place. Yes it will cost some cash but it's what sprint needs.

 

Then buy Tmo after the election

With USCC spectrum already deployed, might as well just keep that spectrum, the AWS and 700A that is. 

 

I'd use the AWS to spectrum swap for PCS.  I'd keep all the 700A.
