Sprint Roaming+ - Coverage Map Update

[red_dog007]

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.

Why does West Tennessee have Extended LTE and Roaming LTE?

 

I thought Si Wireless was the only provider in West Tennessee.

The colors have changed on Sprint's coverage map.  Also, it's slightly bigger.

[red_dog007]

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.

Might be some CSpire coverage around Memphis that's showing up.
