    T-Mobile eNB 45796, 47199, and 42339 are all gigabit sites now. Also there's a VoNR toggle on the iPhone 15 that works exactly as advertised. Phone was on 5G, ran a speediest and got n41 speeds and my typical ~40ms standalone ping. Weird that Speedtest reads the 15 Pro Max as the iPhone16,2.

    Does enabling SA on the 15 Pro Max cause the phone to heat up like the 13pro line?

    It will be stronger at the edge due to increased bandwidth.  At some sites T-Mobile may then decide to increase the range.  They will need to ensure high quality signal else calls will drop on VoNR.

    So does T-Mobile run their sites at lower power than other carriers. T-Mobile seem to drop from 5G to LTE quicker than my AT&T line even when they on the same site.

    I’ve had a 5G device since March of this year. I’ve noticed that 5G would drop off and fall back to LTE. I understand that NSA 5G depends on LTE to connect. So usually when I connect to LTE it’s B12 or B71. Mostly in buildings.  When T-Mobile goes to SA 5G will n71 have more range because it’s not dependent upon LTE to stay connected?

    I bit the bullet and put the T-Mobile SIM card in my s21 ultra. I am connecting to Sprint b41 just fine.

    I just called into customer service and had ROMEAHOME applied to one of my lines. So far T-Mobile speeds varies a lot. Still seems to load webpages and videos faster. I’ll continue monitoring the service before switching my other lines. 
     

    Also in my market it seems that b41 LTE has gone from 3 carriers to 2.

    Also, T-Mobile had to have an orderly shutdown of Sprint's nine 5G markets (Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston, Kansas City, Los Angeles, New York City, Phoenix, and Washington, D.C.). Now that that has seemingly occurred, I would expect T-Mobile's 2.5 GHz rollout to kick into gear in these major markets.


    I still don’t understand why T-Mobile has to shutdown Sprints 5G when they are using the same technology.

    I came to Sprint after the Nextel merger. I opened a line of service with Nextel back in 2005. I originally went into the Nextel store with a buddy of mine who was getting a phone serviced. The rep at the store ask me if I had service with Nextel the answer was no and I wasn’t interested in Nextel. The reason being 1 I was broke and 2 I had just finished high school. In those times Nextel required down payments some as high as $500 down and I had no where near that amount of money. Most people I knew at the time had paid those high prices for down payment. So the rep says you may quality for service and may not need a down payment depending on your credit. Which I didn’t have any credit at the time and I just knew I would get declined. I let her run my social security number. She came back and said you qualify for service with $0 down. I was like SWEET so I signed up and receive I think it was a Motorola i265 or something which was free with a 2 yr contract.

    So I used Nextel for 2-3 years and converted my line to Sprint in 2007-2008 and purchased the Product Red Moro RAZR. I’ve been with Sprint ever since.

    Out of curiosity did anyone have a respectable  experience with voice over LTE on Sprint? I never had a reason to use my data while on a call but when I had VoLTE toggled on, I'd always have garbled calls inside of stores where a band 25 or even 41 signal was available, nevermind band 26 (which always resulted in unusable data and calls that were completely unintelligible). It was frustrating so I normally turned it off but was trying to give it a chance as others seemed so happy with something that I had little use for and barely worked in practice. This with a Galaxy Note 10 plus. 

    I was having issues inside of Grocery stores. I was using an iPhone XS MAX. I’m now using an iPhone 11 Pro it seems to have better reception than my old device. I’m having a better experience now. Those same stores instead of my phone placing calls on a weak LTE signal it would switch to CDMA which doesn’t bother me because I could then use the stores WiFi for data.

    I was also having issues with my calls when driving on the highway. My calls would get really choppy and I could only hear like every second or third word.
