Sprint Roaming+ - Coverage Map Update

Recommended Posts

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.

    • I posted this in the Nebraska Premier thread last week, but just wanted to share in this thread the progress that T-Mobile has made in filling in the great coverage gap known as Nebraska. Between late last year and this year, they have added 28 new expansion sites filling in the coverage hole, plus 11 Sprint site conversions in eastern Nebraska and far western Iowa. Notably, in the last month n41 coverage was added on over a dozen expansion sites in western Nebraska that were added to the network last year. For comparison, here is the very first map that I created in October of 2022 after we noted expansion sites outside of Sprint conversion in Lincoln and Omaha. It doesn't show any western parts of the state, but just know there was nothing besides roaming coverage and a little B12 coverage leaking down from South Dakota to the west of Valentine, NE.
    • Sent a copy of my DB in an e-mail just now.  Couldn't leave the house today but can hopefully get a screenshot when I'm out on another cell site tomorrow.
    • 76MB Google Play System update after that, bringing the date up to 3/1 from prior 2/1 date. 
    • April security patch is already out - 738.30 MB download. 
    • What do you see with the latest alpha/ beta version?
