RAvirani Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 I'm not sure if anyone noticed this, but as of the 10/11 coverage map update, roaming on the LTE/NR coverage map now mirrors AT&T's UMTS/HSPA/LTE coverage. That being said, it notably no longer includes Verizon roaming coverage at all. The EVDO coverage map doesn't display Verizon roaming either. Verizon CDMA coverage is only displayed on the voice coverage map along with AT&T UMTS/HSPA coverage. Looks like were going to see a lot more AT&T roaming and a lot less Verizon roaming soon. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I know in my market Verizon CDMA is still active. Sprint better get its butt in gear and install some more cell sites macro cells won't cover the coverage gaps that Sprint has in my market. I'm in the central New Jersey market.Sent from my GM1917 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danlodish345 Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 Verizon isn't shutting down CDMA until 12/31/20 now. Well the fact that it's being slowly shut down Sprint better come up with a contingency plan and order to supplement the Lost coverage from the slow-but-steady shut down.Sent from my GM1917 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a plan. It's called AT&T roaming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danlodish345 Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 They have a plan. It's called AT&T roaming. Is it going to be limited like it was with Verizon? Like I mean in terms of a data cap.Sent from my GM1917 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jefbal99 Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 Just this past weekend, I noticed a lot of at&t roaming in West Michigan where I'd previously been on Verizon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC they were going to shut down business/m2m 12/31/21 and consumers 12/31/19. Seems like they both now have the same date. VZW though seems like they are still killing the roaming because they want devices off the 3G network. According to my VZW buddy, EVDO is already dead. I'd expect them to run just 1 carrier in SMR were they can. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All new builds are LTE-only. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dnwk Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Wondering if there are some Sprint device not capable of AT&T roaming? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
