Google says to get into Field Test:

https://osxdaily.com/2018/05/02/use-field-test-mode-iphone-x-ios/

It might be under Serving Cell Info rather than Serving Cell Measurements but I can't seem to find a picture indicating what is in Serving Cell Info to know for sure.

Awesome!  Just looked and I'm on 47359 in Dayton OH, under the Cincinnati market.

On your screenshot I see 58889 for your TAC. Am I mistaken?

Thanks!

Wow. This is the first I've ever checked this. Did it switch over to a T-Mobile TAC when they began roaming agreements or more recently, as in it going live this morning?

The reason I checked this morning was that it was still on the old value yesterday.  6163 yesterday, 20243 today.

Wow. They aren't wasting any time. So will I now be able to access Band 71 on my iPhone?

What is the range of the Sprint TACs?

[mdob07]

Just read a few of the comments on my local new station's FB post about the merger. 🤢🤮 Hope they can turn people's perception around.

I wonder when we can connect to T-Mobile’s network.

On the Merger or specifically on T-Mobile or Sprint?

[bigsnake49]

Is spinning off Boost to Dish happening today or at some later date?

[marioc21]

Legere out now that merger is done.  Was originally supposed to leave in May.  Mike Sievert now CEO.

No idea. Probably within weeks/months

I am thinking July 1st, at the beginning of a quarter. Cleaner accounting that way.

[dro1984]

Rumor has it that a T-Mobile Press Conference is in the works for 2 or 3pm Pacific time (5 or 6pm eastern).   Don't know if it's open for all or just select few.

Makes sense.

I figure somewhere in the country new equipment is being installed on T-Mobile sites for the former Sprint bands. That should tell us which markets will be converted first so keep your eyes open!!
