I have a sprint iPhone 6S and I've noticed that my phone attempts to connect to LTE band 13 with an EARFCN of 5230 when I'm roaming. It does this every few minutes or so for a second or two and then drops back to 1x. Isn't B13 Verizon? Why would my phone be doing this?

How do you notice this?

The little LTE thing icon appears at the top every few minutes for a few seconds so I sat with the field test number dialed into phone and clicked it as soon as I saw it. I was able to pull up a field test and see the stuff under Serving Cell Info before my phone dropped back to 1x.

I was in an area where B5 LTE was the only available LTE network and my Nexus attached to it for a few seconds, but failed authentication. Never happened again since. It dropped back down to eHRPD.

Thought so. It failed to connect cause, sprint doesnt have a roaming agree with at&t. Just like Sprint doesnt LTE roam onto Vzw.

      Network Vision/LTE - New York City Market

      Was in Red Hook again and I swear there are more Link5G sites as there are Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T small cells combined in the entire neighborhood. It seemed like every other street I turned down had one installed. Hopefully carriers will start hopping on them soon. Seems like a lot of effort to go through for no one to use them.  — — — — — T-Mobile converted the Sprint site on top of NYU Langone Brooklyn in Sunset Park. I first mapped one sector of it back in November 2023 but I thought it was a small cell so I never pinned it but I ran into another sector today which caught me off guard. I'm unable to find a permit for the conversion so it's definitely a surprise. There's another T-Mobile site 1 block away that T-Mobile initially installed back in 2019 so I'm kinda surprised they're keeping both considering the Sprint conversion is on a much taller building and coule potentially provide much better coverage to the entire area.

      Came across another Crown Castle Solutions multi-tenant oDAS node in Brooklyn. Located at 40.7002286, -73.9612666. Nothing on T-Mobile or AT&T so I'm assuming these are all Verizon nodes that Crown Castle is anticipating another carrier will hop on down the line.
