Saw a photo someone posted from the presentation from the Sprint exec road show recently. They also mentioned California and the west coast as a priority for the roaming, which will be enabled in a couple of weeks. The T-Mobile roaming sounds interesting.

Looks like September for 60% of the country and the rest will be early next year.

I agree, they said it required work on both sides.

For some reason, they don't. They are like the DSL companies, making the speeds faster in the cities while not expanding coverage for the rest.

It is very common. They are still installing B26/1x800 voice, they are installing them all the time though.

Anything is possible.

The MBs have WiFi that isn't used yet.

Maybe it will support CDMA voice.

What do you mean by relay module?

How long can you use them continuously before they need recharged? Do they block out the sound from people speaking around you?

Have any specs been released by anyone yet? WIll it have CDMA voice support?

Sites are still getting new 800 Mhz 3G voice/data installs, so they are not shutting it down. They have contracts with commercial customers to keep 3G active for many years.

But look at these links, connect the dots. http://s4gru.com/entry/431-psa-4th-iteration-gen-3-magic-box-incoming/ http://s4gru.com/forums/topic/7758-official-airave-3-lte-s1000-nsc-thread/?do=findComment&comment=514904 Look at the spec page. https://www.airspan.com/airunity/ Look at what it can do, that it isn't doing now.

Soon.

I'm afraid you just said what I did. Ok then, I'll change it to T-Mobile achieves what they set out to do in their realistic schedule and doesn't over promise. Which is why I feel that its best to have a 4th carrier that seems to be improving. Sprint seems to over promise and under deliver. I can have an opinion, don't start the insults please. I didn't use any sexual innuendos either, which is becoming common on here.

I feel that T-Mobile achieves what they set out to do, Sprint doesn't.

Just as good if not better. The MotoX battery lasts almost twice as long too. The Nexus 5 is quite poor.

T-Mobile has different packages, different plans. Don't include the scammy insurance when comparing, its a scam, don't fall for it from any cel company please. Softbank costs about twice as much as cell plans here in the US, so don't believe anything he says either. The Japanese cell market is closed to tourists, I feel until their market is open, a Japanese company should be allowed to start here.

Connecting....not connected. haha

Remember kids, don't take vertical 16:9 photos or videos. Always use the sensor in its full mode.

If you want a phone that has good hardware..mostly, and you want the latest Android (with bugs) OS get the Nexus 5. If you want a phone that just works, get the MotoX or MotoX+ etc.

I have been on a SERO 500 plan for over 5 years, always had texting to Canada included, along with SMS texting while in Canada included. Go here, put in the country. http://internationalroaming.sprint.com/IntlCoverage/WelcomeRoaming.do It will say "Text Pricing: Plan"for Canada. Shown here. http://shop2.sprint.com/assets/pdfs/en/support/guides/services/worldwide/Worldwide_eflyer.pdf The $15 per month fee is not worth it, not to me.

SMS/MMS to and from Canada is included in just about all modern plans for the last 5 or so years at least. This includes SMS while in Canada, to/from the USA/Canada too. MMS is included to Canada also, but it will cost data while in Canada, so just disable data roaming to stop any incoming fees. SMS to other countries costs a rip off fee of 20 cents to send/receive while in the US. Install and use google voice, this will allow free SMS to Canada from anywhere, using data (and wifi), while in the US, configure it to use GV when dialing internationally, it will give you no cost calls to Canada.

What does this show though, a 1900 Mhz site or 800 MHz?

IMHO, I don't thinkS and TMUS joining up will do anything for better coverage anywhere. They are and will cater to the most customers, coverage is something neither one cares about when most of the customers are in the cities. Do not fall for the sales talk.
