Have the new S22 Ultra myself been connecting to 71, 2, 41, 66, and at times getting 5GUC. So far getting up to 700mb dl

I have the S20 ultra, been on it for a while now. It's on 5G every where I go, and yes I'm getting good battery life on it. Though I should have waited a week and got the V60, oh well. 

Well I picked up the S20 ultra 5G from sprint store, my V50 wouldn't sign on to 5G as of last week, but was on tmobile bands. The S20 ultra primarily using tmobile frequencies, 2,4,12,66,71 so far.

5G never commercially launched in the St. Louis market, they just opened up access. Since it was never formally launched, apparently T-Mobile felt they could just shut it off. Maybe an early market for conversions to T-Mobile mid-band 5G. 

Well mid band 5G as in sprint's band 41 is now opened up in Philly

That's funny, market here has expanded, I'm on 5G more then before.

Sprints 5G devices can still get LTE just not 5G

When its'on LTE, it says LTE, when it's on 5G, it says 5G, my phone is on 5G in the DC area. I know the difference, especially when I'm getting a ping less then 25ms

Yea 5G is gone from the V50. 

 

 

If that was so, It wouldn't be on my V50 right now. Also getting bands 4, 12, 66 on my V50 from T-Mobile.

Yea I haven't been able to connect since yesterday. Did PRL and Profile update and nothing. I know that T-Mobile is supposed to be doing stuff in the STL market with their 5G network. So I don't know. I will look again when I go out for lunch.

It was a few days for me when it came back, they are doing some tuning  I guess, you can do a profile update if you wish, but just give a couple of days.

As of yesterday my LG V50 officially doesn't connect to 5G anymore. 

Mine is still on 5G, for a few days they were doing some work on 5G in the northern virginia area, then it came back.

Problems, what problems, I don't have no stinking problems. Well maybe, they say I'm a little on the looney toons side.

I don't believe VoLTE was available everywhere.      Are you in Virginia?      Is it worth using VoLTE?  What is the benefit?    

Yes I'm in Virginia', and it's a normal function of the phone, having volte, wifi-calling and regular cell calls, hear no difference

Looks like VoLTE comes to Detroit 2/24.     Just received a Sprint Text Message saying your device will receive a software update to enable VoLTE and disable Calling Plus permanently.       T Mobile related or Sprint actually getting network ready for transition?      Seems VoLTE around here is about 1-2 years late.   Thoughts?

Been on volte since last year on my V50, sprint hardware update related

I have 3 Sprint lines on "Unlimited Plan v2" and would like more than 500MB of mobile hotspot data.

T-Mobile's basic "Magenta" plan provides 3GB of mobile hotspot data.

I have ultimate on both my lines and have 100gb of hotspot

Inseego MiFi 8000 doesn't support 5G. 

I know, though it is a cat 18 device, my V50 on 5G gets 12-17ms pings and 27 and above pings on 4G

Pulled from the Sprint subreddit. A speed test that needs talking about. 

Speed test taken on an Inseego MiFi 8000 hotspot.

That's a 5G result, pings to low for 4G

Just showing it's working ok for me

On LG v50

That’s true. Sprint is in a good position with its 2.5 GHz for 5G. I only wish they had some more low band to complement it.

It would apply to T-Mobile mmwave though right?

Simply yes

About the meeting.

It doesn't apply to sprint, they aren't doing mmwave, sprint is upgrading panels on cell towers for there 5g, but it does apply to AT&T and Verizon

A little video I made this morning, from my personable experience on the V50, and yes there's a typo

Nice to see this. Hopefully some additional markets are coming soon.

I can definitely confirm expansion in the DC area, also Baltimore to Delaware, starting to see 5G on 95 on my weekend runs to Newark.

Except Sprint's 5G setup is on the celltower, using 64T64R antenna's, replace band 41 antennas with new ones, not utility pole mounted.

Noticing Sprint's 5G foot print getting bigger week by week in the DC area
