Sprint mvno's and roaming plus access

[signalchaser]

I noticed Sprint has the Roaming + feature on the map now with extensive coverage in Mississippi up through appalachia and Kansas and Oklahoma. My question is will this service work with Freedompop or Ringplus or Boost Mobile accounts? I don't live close enough to these areas to check but I would like to know.

my personal guess would be no, as typically those have not had access to even pseudo native coverage in the past

I actually just looked at boost's coverage map and it just shows standard sprint coverage throughout the country. On Freedompop's however it shows 3g coverage not only in the Roaming + areas but extensively where US Cellular roaming would be. I can check with a Freedompop device. If this is the case it puts a whole different paint job on things.

republic wireless is indicating the same roaming as now having 3g access. Can anyone verify?

As far as I know, Republic Wireless has the same roaming coverage as Sprint postpaid.  But Republic bills roaming data usage at 18.3 MB for every 1 MB.  So, within reason, Republic does not care how much or what type of data roaming usage -- because the end user is going to pay for that usage.
