Actually, you are correct. It is possible Dish won't take it. Meanwhile both Dish and T-Mobile pretend they don't want it for negotiation purposes.

That tells me they won't be turning off Sprint on June 30. Previous I had see mention of shutoff to investors list "summer".

I was looking to see if they added n70 for Dish, but not yet.

6/21/22 Permissive change for band n48: https://apps.fcc.gov/oetcf/eas/reports/ViewExhibitReport.cfm?mode=Exhibits&RequestTimeout=500&calledFromFrame=N&application_id=SVOkqmjVp06hSNXCCafujg%3D%3D&fcc_id=A3LSMS906U

Got the Android 12 based upgrade today with May 2022 security. They now have favorites in contacts. Have not yet figured out how to get rid of the google/T-Mobile screen. Wall paper changes.

How?

With the factory unlocked, a lot more bands show: AT&T MVNOs: n2, n5, n66, n77 T-Mobile MVNO: n2, n5, n25, n41, n71, n77, n78 Verizon MVNO: n2, n5, n66, n78 Note that Verizon currently limits access to n77 and n78 and mmWave depending on MVNO and account type. Also note that T-Mobile locked just shows n41 and n71.

Finally got the One UI 4.1 update (Android 12) for the A32 5G factory unlocked. It has April 1 2022 security patches. Not a fan of getting another update given the destruction of the Samsung band selector app abilities. 🙄

I see it as more of an economic calculation. Basically go after the areas where they have the best odds of retaining or attracting customers versus their MVNO arrangements. The quicker they can switch back and forth between 5g and MVNOs the finer grained this decision zone can be. Field results will beat theory. In Sprint days this was up to 15 minutes in theory. In practice AT&T could be quite sticky. I remember driving by 3 Sprint sites while still stuck on AT&T roaming. Dish will need to do better to thrive. Both their MVNO arrangements reportedly now cost them about $1.50 per GB. With volume that may fall to $1.

The see Dish as the Beta network for a while. Basically once they have secured their licenses and have inexpensive phones that utilize all their bands I hope to see them reduce the edge space of their network or improve the transfer performance so customers have more of an invisible handoff experience. This will likely be late 2023.

The key wording here is "phased approach". Not certain the airlines really need this exemption given the thousands of flights canceled during holiday weekends are primarily from staffing shortages. Doubtful that grounding planes with outdated GPS systems would change this.

That is my hope. They roam on whoever is best.

Only way to go with most other carriers for band selection.

Dish is now claiming that their 5g is live in the following cities: Albuquerque, NM Altoona, IA Ann Arbor, MI Asheville, NC Bay City, MI Bellevue, NE Bentonville, AR Binghamton, NY Boise, ID Bowling Green, KY Bristol, TN Brooksville, FL Brownsville, TX Carson City, NV Cary, NC Casper, WY Champaign, IL Charlotte, NC Chattanooga, TN Chester, VA Cheyenne, WY Chicopee, MA Chippewa Falls, WI Clarksville, TN Cleveland, OH Cocoa Beach, FL Columbus, OH Concord, NC Corpus Christi, TX Dallas, TX Davenport, IA Daytona Beach, FL Denton, TX Des Moines, IA Duluth, MN Eagle, ID Eau Claire, WI Elmira, NY El Paso, TX Evansville, IN Fayetteville, AR Flagstaff, AZ Flint, MI Fond du Lac, WI Fort Smith, AR Fresno, CA Ft Worth, TX Gadsden, AL Grand Junction, CO Greensboro, NC Gulfport, MS Harrisonburg, VA Hartford, CT Hattiesburg, MS Henderson, NV Hendersonville, TN High Point, NC Hot Springs, AR Houston, TX Huntsville, AL Indianapolis, IN Ithaca, NY Jackson, MI Jackson, MS Kansas City, KS Johnson City, TN Johnstown, PA Kingsport, TN Knoxville, TN Lansing, MI Las Vegas, NV Lawton, OK Lexington, KY Lincoln, NE Little Rock, AR Louisville, KY McAllen,TX Mechanicsville, VA Merced, CA Meridian, ID Middletown, CT Midland, MI Midlothian, VA Modesto, CA Murfreesboro, TN Nashville, TN New Braunfels, TX Norfolk, VA Ocala, FL Ogden, UT Oklahoma City, OK Omaha, NE Orlando, FL Ozark, MO Palm Bay, FL Petersburg, VA Pine Bluff, AR Prescott, AZ Provo, UT Pueblo, CO Raleigh-Durham, NC Rapid City, SD Reno, NV Richmond, VA Rochester, MN Rochester, NY Saginaw, MI Salt Lake City, UT San Marcos, TX Sioux Falls, SD Sparks, NV Spokane, WA Springfield, IL Springfield, MA Springfield, MO St Joseph, MO Staunton, VA St. Louis, MO Stockton, CA Suffolk, VA Superior, WI Syracuse, NY Texas City, TX Tulsa, OK Tuscaloosa, AL Urbandale, IA Utica, NY Valdosta, GA Victoria, TX Virginia Beach, VA Watertown, NY Waynesboro, VA Wildwood, FL Williamsburg, VA Winter Garden, FL Yuma, AZ Source: https://launch.5gmobilegenesis.com/cities/ They specifically say it is live in my area. My phone sees 8 plmns, but not theirs. My guess is protection sites.

Great to know. More likely to get fixed when issues also appears in the latest flagship.

Any thoughts for MarshieZ in 2022? @ingenium may also have ideas. Of course there are also the T-Mobile and Verizon internet offerings, but those are likely higher cost and lower priority. Starlink is a lower tier of service based on my testing. Unless one lives on a farm or in the Great Plains, trees (quite common in the north woods of Wisconsin) can be a major impediment to continous service (chainsaws should be sold as option equipment, although Musk would likely prefer you buy his flamethrower https ://youtu.be/qLcma0YyzhY )

They are only licensed in major metro iirc. I would look for it in one with unmet demand which would likely have limited n41 spectrum. San Francisco might fit the bill.

My MVNOs now do support this, but you diffinately want to test this in advance. Model coverage is not as extensive. Sometimes changes to APN settings will fix issues.

I tested for this (n25 and n71 VoNR) on my s21 ultra factory unlocked without success, however T-Mobile firmware may be needed for the VoNR along with a good location.

This was a Verizon update: Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G (SM-G998U1) Build Number : G998U1UEU5CVE8 Android version : S(Android 12) Release Date : 2022-05-27 Security patch level : 2022-05-01 · Device stability improvements, bug fixes. · New and / or enhanced features. · Further improvements to performance.

This does not fix the n7 showing instead of n41 issue. During the update, T-Mobile appears several times. Updates may be becoming more carrier specific. My factory unlocked A32 5G remains on Android 11 with January 1 security fixes.

Galaxy A32 5G (SM-A326U) Build Number : A326USQU7BVE5 Android version : S(Android 12) Release Date : 2022-05-31 Security patch level : 2022-04-01 · The security of your device has been improved.

"The Un-carrier plans to expand VoNR to many more areas this year." This is the part that I took as a challenge. We all know that it will need some testing in all areas first before it is publicly announced. However I may also be hindered by my equipment.
