stlman314: Inbox you ?? Why? Is it a secret? Tell us please.

Any members in Chicago that can post some speed test results from T-Mobile?

Neville blogged this earlier today... From PhoneArena: T-Mobile is 'accelerating the path to 5G for all' in three big ways T-Mobile.com: Direct from Neville, on T-Mobile.com... News and Information

That would make me celebrate! Seriously it would.

T-Mobile has 'fresh deals' in the pipeline to celebrate its 5G evolution after Sprint's imminent death Part I like the most: Sprint customers will have to wait until sometime "next week" to check out T-Mo's "new, aggressive offers" aimed at enticing everyone to stick with the "unified" mobile network operator.

Not impressed with ScamSheild and it even sucks more that Sprint accounts don't have the exact same thing. Went on MySprint... nothing there, no info nothing to turn July 24th... at least put some info on the phone-site. This entire Uncarrier thing kinda blew. From PhoneArena: "The full benefits of Scam Shield (and the new app itself) will be available to Sprint customers at a later date." ??

it's coming... media push etc.... but I'm expecting that around Day 1 (August 2). (Thanks JonnygATL...we posted at the same time) This was to have been the time the Sprint brand goes away, but with the current virus situation plans can and do change. So many of us are waiting to hear where the networks stands... it's very exciting. So far, all we really have is sporadic testimonials for certain members and their speed tests, here that are in the first conversion cities ( New York, Philly...) I'm hoping for some good plan price intros to lure me into something a little cheaper than what I have now.

I'm ok with that! That would be huge news that many of us have been waiting for ... ie network transformation progress etc. Sprint brand retiring... Naw... we all know that and that has already been made public.

Anybody think they know what the "Uncarrier Move" will be tomorrow? Some places are speculating that it's network related... Thoughts? Guesses?

Water under the bridge and glad it's over! Nothing but frustration with Sprint's management team... watching all the bad decisions (many many!)

Hey Jonny... I used to connect to B41 at my home all the time up until a year ago or so. I think some of it was moved/converted to N41 which was irritating. They have 160mHz or more in this area. They only had 20-40mhz deployed around me and then chose to convert some of that over. You are one of the lucky ones I guess. If Sprint network works great, then you have 2 networks that perform decently. Either one they move you to / shut off, you'll be ok until full integration.

Agreed. It won't be easy. But something has to budge... if the state commission insisted on 93% or more coverage with a certain threshold of minimum speed... hopefully the FCC will continue to address the NIMBY's. I think some here, sadly, think this can all be done in a few weeks and there will be vast amounts of coverage everywhere. Most former Sprint accounts haven't even been moved over to the T-Mobile network yet, which still has to happen, only roaming has been unlocked. Nothing has changed in my neighborhood. In fact with all the talk and news articles of T-Mobile turning off Sprint's B41.... it's still on here and I can connect to it sometimes. Lots of work that hasn't even begun yet.

I don't think you're going to see California covered for a little while (more than a year...possibly 2).... None of the carriers are particularly strong in rural areas of California (mostly central and north areas of state)... Nobody shines everywhere. This is why the CPUC wanted that agreement before ok'ing the merger. They want at least some guarantee that most areas of the state will be addressed. 3 months into this merger... Was the thinking California was going to be built out and addressed with new coverage? As both Sprint and T-Mobile were pretty bad in those areas (ie the roaming agreements) new towers will probably have to be completely built, there is nothing T-Mobile can piggy-back on... unless they can share a tower or 2 with AT&T or Verizon. This might be a while.. someone correct me, but an entire new Macro site can take 2 years or more from start to finish. I would rather take what you found and hold on to it and retest in about 1 year from now. Kinda like a progress tracker. That would be useful information to many of us as I travel to California every couple of years. So, "How long do we expect that to continue?" 2 years or more.

Let's hope. My fingers are crossed. I want to see some of those lines/ropes coming from the towers around here with new equipment being hoisted up! Can't wait!!

T-Mobile if very dense in my area too. Sprint in my area always needed a densification. So no... it's not Unique.

I think we all think that thought in a lot of areas where a particular network isn't to our liking. Did you miss what I said about Sprint ? In my area, it was neglected just as you say T-Mobile is in your area. Towers haven't been operating at 100% for, dare I say a couple of years?! Multiple tickets issued and calls from Executive Services, but as with all other times, the answer was: "There's nothing we can do to remedy the situation at this time." "The towers have repair tickets issued." I wish T-Mobile tower crews would come to my area in great numbers and revamp all the towers by me. I want 3 or 4 layer cake! As of today, it's only been 3 months since the merger was officially signed off on. 3 months!... way to early to judge what T-Mo has been doing or what's up it's sleeves. I keep hoping to hear some positive news coming from this thread, about what's coming or what's next, and instead, it's nothing more than "T-Mobile is tanking in my area" or "it stinks" ... kind of discussion..It's just Not constructive.

I hear what you are saying but.... Every area is different. Sprint was weak for me, in spite of being in a well developed suburb of Detroit. 2 or more towers around me have had tickets "open" for almost a full year. Still as I was 1 year ago, get about 5-10 mbps down and .05-0 up.... it works because I don't upload much at all. T-Mobile will get things better, I'm sure. They have the assets and plan to do it. New York market is still on-going. I'm sure they are not done yet, so it's not really fair to say "Some neighborhoods being under-deployed"...while others "have the full experience"....(maybe I misunderstood what you meant?) I feel strongly that they all will have the "full experience" soon eventually. I keep hoping to hear updates on Network work/ redoing, but as of late have heard nothing... Quarter 2 has to be presented soon. Maybe on that call they will say? So true!!

Wow... wonder what it is... maybe somebody cut a fiber line? Think they'll tell us?

Must be the T-Mobile side only? My Sprint service is ok, here in SE Michigan. I sent a text at 3:10 and it went through.

There's a lot of unanswered questions... Shentel, the Dish situation... network conversion etc... Later this week there are investor firm meetings and I'm sure most of that will be brought up. I will listen in to find out what's going on and how far along they are in their network work.

Yes, me too! I'm wonder who the 1 million customers are and what sort of handsets they have?

Lots of new panels going on former Sprint towers and also M.Mimo going on a lot of known T-Mobile sites around here. Coverage isn't any different yet, but it does look like tower work is happening. Band 41 is still up and running. Really hard to connect to it anymore, but it shows up. Mostly everything LTE for me is handled with Sprint's old band 25.

Interesting! Word is within the T-Mo engineering area, is Ericsson is the way to go... better tech than Nokia. T-Mobile moving NYC's midband 5G signal from Nokia to Ericsson

I agree, but I also agree with Terrell. Neville / T-Mobile needs to quiet down. Way too much pontificating and not enough action yet. It's too early to celebrate. That Cap-Ex budget needs to get a financial boost. $6-8 Billion isn't enough.

Read the fine print. Not all that meets the eye.
