Map was updated 11/11

 

Looking at the map it seems there might be some new additional extended LTE?

 

West of Charlotte between hwy74 and I40, East of Salt Lake City, Idaho/Wyoming border area, Idaho/Washington Border area

 

Also, when did Sprint build out native coverage in Michigan's thumb? What I remember that used to be all white.

No idea who that could be east of Charlotte other than USCC. That area is decidedly outside of Carolina West's footprint unless they're expanding undercover into McDowell and Rutherford counties.

 

Which would be a pretty big deal for them given they currently cover ten out of NC's 100 counties.

 

Never mind it IS Carolina West. See below.

I no longer have the logs, but I can confirm it is Carolina West Wireless.  Drove through there earlier this year and was very surprised.  IIRC there was even 3G.  They have 10x10 AWS and 5x5 PCS there in Polk county and Rutherford.

Well that's awesome! I've never bothered checking the PCS licenses outside of their advertised footprint.

 

I've always felt so lucky to be able to pseudo-native-roam on them. They're definitely not a haphazard build-out-so-you-can-sell-out-to-a-national-carrier company. Their service consistency inside their footprint is way better than Sprint's within Charlotte, and they have to deal with mountains. At least in my experience.

The colors are better, but still need some work.  They should just make extended 3G and LTE and same yellow color.  Average user isn't going to care that it is a different network. They don't even need to know that it is roaming.  It will not show up on the phone as roaming, and it only eats away at your regular data bucket.

 

Only place we need to know that is roaming is where it actually eats the roaming bucket. All we need is

 

Dark Yellow = LTE Plus

Yellow = LTE

Orange = 3G

Dark gray = roaming LTE

Light gray = roaming 3g

Fully agreed.

      You could also just sign up for Project Genesis directly, $400 for the moto edge+ 2023 and $25/month for service.

      Your referring to the $25.00 a month Infinite Unlimited plan?  I don't see any other plans on there even cheaper than that on their website.  I was looking at the Motorola 2023 Edge fwiw as well for $10.00 a month.

      T-Mobile to acquire UScellular

      By iansltx · Posted

      A heavy n41 overlay as an acquisition condition would be a win for customers, and eventually a win for T-Mobile as that might be enough to preclude VZW/AT&T adding C-Band for FWA due to spreading the market too thinly (which means T-Mobile would just have local WISPs/wireline ISPs as competition). USCC spacing (which is likely for contiguous 700 MHz LTE coverage in rural areas) isn't going to be enough for contiguous n41 anyway, and I doubt they'll densify enough to get there.

      Boost Infinite with a rainbow SIM (you can get it SIM-only) is the cheapest way, at $25/mo, to my knowledge; the cheaper Boost Mobile plans don't run on Dish native. Check Phonescoop for n70 support on a given phone; the Moto G 5G from last year may be the cheapest unlocked phone with n70 though data speeds aren't as good as something with an X70 or better modem.

      Official Tmobile-Sprint merger discussion thread

      By iansltx · Posted

      Continuing the USCC discussion, if T-Mobile does a full equipment swap at all of USCC's sites, which they probably will for vendor consistency, and if they include 2.5 on all of those sites, which they probably will as they definitely have economies of scale on the base stations, that'll represent a massive capacity increase in those areas over what USCC had, and maybe a coverage increase since n71 will get deployed everywhere and B71 will get deployed any time T-Mobile has at least 25x25, and maybe where they have 20x20. Assuming this deal goes through (I'm betting it does), I figure I'll see contiguous coverage in the area of southern IL where I was attempting to roam on USCC the last time I was there, though it might be late next year before that switchover happens.
