    It appears Dish is turning back in 12 600hz licenses it leased to T-Mobile. Not certain why they just don't keep leasing them.

    Perhaps both. Likely dead man walking. Spectrum needs to be freed in markets where they don't exist.

    I have heard reports of Sprint SIMs that stopped working after reboot this morning.

    Error validated. Just sent data in on prior version of SCP. Updated. Now can not log in.

    Their plan is to go back through and do the suburban / fringe areas with n77. Especially once more of their n77 licences open up later in the year iirc.

    Not all phones can display 5g correctly, especially NSA. Levels of CA is also another issue. Note Cellmapper is better at this, but then stale data is an issue. Best way with Samsung is *#0011#. 5g SA is much more straight forward, but NSA will likely be with us for a while.

    https://www.lightreading.com/5g-and-beyond/t-mobile-rumored-to-be-eying-5g-equipment-from-samsung/d/d-id/784419? Personally preferred the Samsung equipment over Ericson in terms of performance in the Sprint days.

    For me the phone is also a big factor. My a32 5gs work perfectly, but extremely difficult/impossible to find more matching requirements. My s21 Ultras work great, but NSA reporting is non existent for unrooted phones (SCP and cellmapper). The T-Mobile network also wants a phone to be able to do SA CA to let you select a SA band for more than a second. The actual reporting on what bands a phone supports is also absimal, especially when they first come out, which is often when they have the most features we want for our hobby.

    So the firmware deadline dates are April 1, 2022 or a bit later and then Dec 31, 2022 for the various published Samsung tricks. Wish Samsung would leave the factory unlocked able to band lock. One Plus is also getting hinky since their purchase by Oppo. Like Moto. NSG works best with Qualcomm modems iirc

    I ordered an A23 online and it came with the AT&T sim (not the rainbow sim as expected) So I have RMAed it.
  13. dkyeager
    Yup, 20+20 of n41. Must be a rural area, in which case auction 108 will benefit you greatly when finally released.
  14. dkyeager
    400mbps for n71 strikes me as high. Are you sure it is not CA with another band?

    Concerns on costs of T-Mobile and AT&T Roaming. Note that he is planning on being a competitor. https://twitter.com/peter_adderton/status/1641511803086848003?t=JR2FM0rT068A_M3FXrtlDQ&s=19

    Note the band locking works and the actual bands.

    Sent diag for esim echo when psim turned off. *#0011# shows psim as not ready. Of course just removing Sim fixes it (hassle), but leave decision to you. Cellmapper shows both then removes second after a few seconds.. Sent diag for AT&T n77 on esim on s21 ultra. https://imgur.com/a/ItA2r8Y https://imgur.com/a/vorTTsm Can easily replicate in early morning hours if needed. Verizon n77 works fine on s21 ultra.

    I mapped out the various phone choices to Dish's NR bands. Used trade press for many of the phones, which can be unreliable. Just starting with N71, you are down to three phones: Moto G Stylus 5G 2022, Moto Edge+ (2022), Celero 5G+. Add in the less frequent n66 and you are down to: Moto G Stylus 5G 2022, Moto Edge+ (2022). The Moto G Stylus 5G 2022 then walks away with the rest of the bands. A negative is even if you pay cash, the phone is carrier locked for a year.

    A bit if confusion, but rhe rainbow Sim is expected to be on sale in Columbus OH tomorrow. If you buy the phone outright, unlocking still takes a year.
  20. dkyeager
    Rainbow sim now becoming available in other ways than beta. Supports VoNR:

    I have seen various T-Mobile people use it. Including Neville iirc. Edit: it should be noted that keep site status is not a guarantee, nor is it exclusive. There have been keep sites shutdown and non keep sites converted. Keep site status rather should just be considered a high probability of conversion.

    https://www.fiercewireless.com/wireless/new-dish-wireless-chief-marketing-officer-takes-big-challenges Are Dish's issues really just a marketing issue? If this guy succeeds, he could be the next John Legere.

    The end of this article basically supports Dish's strategy: https://www.telecompetitor.com/financial-analysts-cable-is-a-bigger-threat-to-wireless-than-wireless-is-to-cable/ Of course execution and timing may even be more important.

    Predicts a dramatic increase in Dish's Boost Mobile churn: https://www.lightreading.com/security/dish-hack-expected-to-cut-into-q1-subscriber-tally/d/d-id/783926? Would not surprise me if this end up being one of the most expensive hacks ever. This article makes mention of up to $1.5 Billion.

    Implies T-Mobile n41 winnings in mostly rural areas are delayed until the Fall/Winter: https://www.lightreading.com/5g-and-beyond/t-mobiles-latest-5g-spectrum-purchases-stuck-in-limbo/d/d-id/783923?
