Except that selection doesn't seem to exist anymore.  Where should we look for information regarding the integration of our network into our new overlords network?

I have read that older phones such as my Note 9 will have to be discarded as it doesn't get the right frequencies...  Is this true?

Oh- and please-- this is not in disrespect-- is the site name going to change as "Sprint" ceases to exist?  I hope it doesn't.

The Note 9 supports T-mobile frequencies. Everything except B71. The T-mobile Note 9 didn't have it either though. So it'll work just fine, except it won't have access to that band. Almost all phones on Sprint (at least sold in the last 3+ years) support most T-mobile bands. Some may not support VoLTE though, at least with Sprint firmware. But they are capable of it and worst case can be moved to the T-Mobile firmware. They can all make T-mobile 3G calls though.

    • Would anyone else be curious in helping me compile a list of quirks for various devices/modems/chipsets for SCP? I've noticed that Mediatek chipsets seem to report more information than Qualcomm. I bought a cheap Moto G 5G 2024 and notice that it displays the LTE downlink bandwidth, and the NSA information of T-Mobile, something that my S22+, which is also Qualcomm, won't do. I'm hoping that we can convince either Google or OEMs to fix their reporting on various devices. So far across all Qualcomm devices I've tested: - NR neighbor cells don't report - NR downlink or uplink bandwidth doesn't report (NR doesn't appear with CA as a result, only showing LTE) - NR signal levels randomly stop updating for various period of time before continuing to update (affects CellMapper more) - LTE CA levels randomly report and don't always update quickly when CA changes   On the S22: - LTE Timing Advance (TA) doesn't work and always reports 0, reported issue to Samsung and waiting to hear back   On the Samsung Galaxy S series (USA - Qualcomm Snapdragon): - LTE downlink or uplink bandwidth isn't reported - T-Mobile NR NSA doesn't report band information, AT&T & Verizon work OK (n5 & n77 tested)
    • Definitely. There are still a handful of Sprint sites here that haven't been decommissioned yet but also haven't been upgraded yet and they're offline. I think T-Mobile really wants to keep them but for one reason or another is running into trouble.
    • November security update is out.
    • 439.02 November Security patch is available on S24+ this morning.
