First thing I did when I woke up just now was to look at my phone.  Still connected to Band 41, but my TAC is now 20243, matching T-Mobile.

Is there a way to see this on an iPhone?

Google says to get into Field Test:

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.

Thanks!

Under Serving Cell Info -> dl_freq it's switching back and forth between 41490 and 41492.

Thank you. I went to Serving Cell Info -> dl_freq and it's going back and forth between 41490 and 41492.

Does that mean anything?

Sprint Stock data no longer shows on NASDAQ: https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/stocks/s

It's real.

Thanks. So I'm looking at the right number for TAC?

dl_freq is the downlink frequency, not the TAC. 

Since the Internet seems to have no pictures whatsoever of what that screen looks like, I can't tell you what Apple might have called it.  If your part of the DC market is like mine and has moved to the T-Mobile TAC values, it should be something like 20234 or 20236.  Mine in Alexandria is 20243.  You get the idea of the range of values.

I forced my phone to T-mobile this morning on my drive in but didn't notice much difference yet. Speed is still throttled to 5/5 and there were still a handful of towers my phone wouldn't connect to once I got into Louisville.

Within the Service Cell Info, I found the TAC labeled as Tracking Area Code. I kinda figured it might be the correct one.

Sprint has created the landing page for Sprint/T-Mobile merger. If the rumors for the merger finalizing tomorrow are true, the link should work:

sprint.com/merger

Right now you'll see a 404 page error but if you look at the url, it changes to: sprint.com/en/landings/welcome-to-tmo.html?ECID=vanity:tmomerger. It's probably a welcome to T-Mobile page.

 

This is live now

Q: Do Sprint customers need to do anything?

A: For now, all customers will stay with the same Sprint and T-Mobile network, stores, and service they’ve been using.

 

Q: Will customers need to switch devices today?

A: ...For now, customers will use two distinct networks, Sprint and T-Mobile.

 

Not seeing any Day 0 network sharing outside of the roaming agreement

For those with iPhones, it looks like you go to LTE-> NAS in the Field Test mode. Look for tai_list and you should see TAC listed

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

Effective at the beginning of today’s trading session, T-Mobile will trade on the NASDAQ on a combined basis under the ticker symbol “TMUS.” The Sprint shares will no longer trade on the New York Stock Exchange.

It's dead, Jim.

    • I see everything correct. The two ARFCN's you mentioned earlier and they idenitify as n-41.  using 4.832b SCP. Only using one TM SIM.
    • I posted this in the Nebraska Premier thread last week, but just wanted to share in this thread the progress that T-Mobile has made in filling in the great coverage gap known as Nebraska. Between late last year and this year, they have added 28 new expansion sites filling in the coverage hole, plus 11 Sprint site conversions in eastern Nebraska and far western Iowa. Notably, in the last month n41 coverage was added on over a dozen expansion sites in western Nebraska that were added to the network last year. For comparison, here is the very first map that I created in October of 2022 after we noted expansion sites outside of Sprint conversion in Lincoln and Omaha. It doesn't show any western parts of the state, but just know there was nothing besides roaming coverage and a little B12 coverage leaking down from South Dakota to the west of Valentine, NE.
    • Sent a copy of my DB in an e-mail just now.  Couldn't leave the house today but can hopefully get a screenshot when I'm out on another cell site tomorrow.
    • 76MB Google Play System update after that, bringing the date up to 3/1 from prior 2/1 date. 
    • April security patch is already out - 738.30 MB download.
