RAvirani Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Hi everyone, The coverage map was updated again today. It appears Sprint is displaying increased LTE coverage due to the new (more weak LTE friendly) handoff parameters for VoLTE. I didn't notice any big roaming or native coverage changes otherwise. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAvirani Posted February 10, 2019 Author Share Posted February 10, 2019 Actually, poking around the coverage map, I noticed that all of Sprint’s former C Sprire roaming coverage in Mississippi is native now. Is this new? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would lead to reduced revenue from roaming fees for C Spire. Accordingly, C Spire being against the merger seems pretty logical.

If you see a drop in Revenue that means a drop and overall income. That means less money to build out their Network or launch new services like fixed home internet services. I get they are against it. But at the same time even a reciprocating roaming agreement still puts a lot of strain on c-spire because they lose a ton of roaming Revenue as you just said.Sent from my LM-V405 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red_dog007 Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 (edited) Why would CSpire be shown as native coverage? I'd imagine a map error. Does Sprint have some new roaming tier that CSpire is now part of? Edited February 13, 2019 by red_dog007 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember you posting in the Galaxy S9/9+ thread recently. You should post your thoughts on it in the V40 thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
