  1. Yeah, the church of T-Mobile. That seems about right. AJ
  2. Yes, that is accurate. USCC does not want its subs living in Sprint markets and perma roaming. AJ
  3. For Nex-Tech Wireless in western Kansas, I suspect the groupings are some mix of band 2 and band 12, maybe band 25, too. I suppose I should use my tech editor s4gru.com e-mail address to send an official inquiry to Nex-Tech. AJ
  4. You keep repeating this. It is not correct. USCC has a roaming quota that applies to Sprint. If you have proof otherwise, the burden is on you to post it. AJ
  5. In SMR 800 MHz, Sprint has located the band class 10 CDMA1X carrier near the bottom of the band, so any frequency response rolloff would affect it. The band 26 LTE carrier is in the middle to the top of the band, thus probably unaffected. But CDMA1X tends to be much more robust than LTE. The Home 4G booster probably would work well for both. AJ
  6. The Nexus 5 does not support band 12, so it will not attach to any USCC LTE 700. AJ
  7. Your data might go faster on LTE, but your roaming data quota would not get used up faster. That would be on you -- something that you do not have to do. Let us make that perfectly clear. AJ
  8. People who ask questions or seek advice but do not update or state their Phones/Devices deserve to get slapped. AJ
  9. Years ago, Sprint offered a la carte (voice) roaming packs. That might be a good idea again for data. AJ
  10. Roaming costs money. Would you be willing to pay more per month? AJ
  11. Or, depending upon Robert's adjudication, your $50 philanthropy could win you a Samsung Galaxy Note 5. That would be a sweet deal. AJ
  12. Make the donation toward the raffle. Maybe The_Q could parlay the win into a Samsung Galaxy Note 5, too. AJ
  13. That corroborates a recent user report in this thread or another. He was disappointed and puzzled why he received only CDMA1X roaming on Cellcom in northern Wisconsin. AJ
  14. You look a gift horse in the mouth. Hey, you got LTE roaming on USCC only a few months after you got EV-DO roaming on USCC. You should be rejoicing. And, no, USCC does not include Sprint LTE roaming in its plans. USCC imposes a data roaming cap -- just like Sprint does. AJ
  15. PRL based roaming is defined by SID/NID. LTE based roaming is defined by TAC, which commonly is similar to the size of a NID but can be reduced to the size of an individual site. If you use SignalCheck Pro, you can view your current TAC. AJ
  16. Sprint has full native coverage along I-29 between Kansas City and Omaha. That was not roaming. If it were roaming, SignalCheck Pro would have indicated the roaming operator. AJ
  17. The article is on The Wall: http://s4gru.com/index.php?/blog/1/entry-401-psa-lte-roam-if-you-want-to-plus-it-may-count-as-native-coverage/ AJ
  18. We already have been discussing and dissecting for the last hour and half. http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/7203-sprint-roaming-coverage-map-update/ The article is in the editing stage and will be up on The Wall within the next hour. AJ
  19. Mostly, yes. Entirely, not sure. Some LTE could be band 2 or band 4. AJ
  20. Device compatibility does not mean that all roaming bands will be available to Sprint. USCC devices generally support only band 25, for example. Additionally, there are political and financial aspects in play. AJ
  21. The coverage map tool clearly is still under construction overnight. But some LTE roaming coverage may be band limited. For example, USCC band 5 may be included but not band 12 -- or vice versa. AJ
  22. Yes, for those unfamiliar, USCC has organized itself into isolated regions where it has tried to create largely contiguous groups of coverage. From west to east, those are the Pacific Northwest, Midwest, Southeast, and New England. The Midwest is by far the largest of those regions. Those pockets are the extent of the USCC footprint. AJ
