FYI, RU fieldtest is a free alternative to NSG for band locking, I sent you a PM with a telegram link. Needs root but can do those NR bands.

Dish Current has excellent roaming deals with AT&T and T-Mobile. Rumor is they may require minimum volume.
I just don't think Dish has money to buy more customers to spend more money on roaming, and then eventually build out additional coverage or cancel those customers afterwards years down the line for not being in native Dish coverage.

It will be interesting how US Cellular structures the sale. Could be to one bidder of course, but it may fetch more broken up. For example, Dish could buy the customers and each band for each area could be sold separately. Cell towes could go to American Towers etc. Even one bidder could end up doing basically the same.
Dish may not want the customers if a lot of them are outside of the areas they plan to provide native coverage. Or they'd have to plan to overlay USCC coverage with their own, but they would also need additional spectrum to do so as they are missing 600 etc licenses in many USCC areas.

it has been 2 or 3 tmobile statements since the move. how long have you been seeing this taking?
3 to 4 I after migration I think before you get the SMS. Just based off reports I've been seeing.

i still have not been notified of the auto pay discount changes and still have my Amex processing the autopay payment. Anyone else? i thought maybe when i got moved to the tmobile biller it would kick in but still nothing. maybe something to do with my plan?
You'll be notified eventually. They seem to have some minimum amount of time after migration before they'll kick you off credit card autopay, perhaps to try and prevent you from associating the migration with the autopay change.

Don't know if this is the place to ask this or not.
Is there someplace on my account where T-Mobile will show that they have given me a free line as opposed to a billed line?
Customer support via the chat feature added a 'free line' to my account during that 48 hour free line window. It should have been the 2023byodp1 free line.
This new line has shown up on my account and they sent me a sim card but my account shows it as a 50 dollar bill able line.
Nowhere can I see that this new line is a free line. Should I call customer support or is there a way to see it online?
No former Sprint accounts have had the promotion applied yet. They have to program something special for those accounts. Line should still be free though whenever they implement the solution.

Did T-Mobile announce this in the recent Earnings Call? I didn't have a chance to hear the whole thing.
Internal verbage was changed last month to this:
"We are all eager to Move to T-Mobile and we are diligently working on the process of moving all Sprint customers. We anticipate your account moving within the next 3-6 months.”
Which puts the end of the Sprint billing system around October.

So we were finally kicked over to T-mobile billing as I think everyone has by now? There was no invitation. The Sprint site just doesn't work anymore.
Anyone else have account issues with primary lines?? They assigned the account to one of my child's watches, lol. Thankfully the T-mobile CSR were very good and got everything rectified.
We're on the Sprint Max plan and the CSR was touting the Go5Gplus plan to us as having "actual premium data" instead of the "premium data" promised with the Sprint Max. Sprint Max tops out at 100 GB of shared data for all lines, then throttles after that. Go5G apparently doesn't throttle ever.
She also quoted that Sprint Max has 5 GB hotspot but Go5G would have 60 GB? The Sprint Max clearly says 40 GB hotspot.
Color me a little confused, but I think we're fine on the Sprint Max (which is $25 less a month for our 5 lines). (obviously different things like Hulu or Netflix, etc.)
Should I reconsider? am I missing anything?
There are still a significant amount of customers on the Sprint billing system, complete migration has been pushed back to Q3.
Sprint Max comes with unlimited priority data on device, the CSR was misinformed.

In San Antonio and Austin, VZW doesn't have 850, so they've been running n2 DSS for awhile now, though increasingly phones don't use it because n2 coverage is poor enough to be subsumed by C-Band.
I've seen AT&T n2 and n66 DSS here, but hadn't seen any n30. Can you point to proof of the latter? Seems like 2300 would be an ideal band to not bother with DSS and switch entirely over to NR, as it's only 10x10 anyway and there's plenty of spectrum below 2300 for phones to connect to.
You can find n30 in Dallas, I saw it driving through there in November.

It seems VoNR is more difficult to implement than VoLTE. Why is that?
I think the main issue is the lack of demand for it. Barely any focus is being put on it since VoLTE accomplishes the job, not many SA NR networks exist today, and there aren't any notable benefits of VoNR compared to VoLTE. Dish is a rare example of a carrier who desperately needs it due to their NR-only deployment, but the vast majority of carriers globally are content with VoLTE.

Well, TMobile seems to have deployed 5G on PCS. That is pretty cool. What, they have like ~180MHz now of dedicated 5G spectrum up and running?
I've been curious when we will see ATT and VZW refarming their midband for 5G.
AT&T has already deployed DSS on large portions of their midband spectrum. You can access n2/n66/n30 in NSA on a lot of sites, but they still haven't let consumers on their SA core yet.
I would assume Verizon will follow the same path of DSS on midband eventually. T-Mobile has the luxury of having so much sub-2.5GHz spectrum that DSS isn't entirely necessary for them.

Those remaining either have no choice (sites not converted), or are stubborn and will watch service die with their sim (wish soon granted).
There are also some fringe devices and plans T-Mobile is still not allowing T-Mobile sim cards on. Unlimited drive and broadband plans, and apparently some of the ACPC devices too.

Hearing rumors of a Rainbow SIM:
Any confirmations?
That's the sim card that comes with the project Genesis hotspot. Dish Wireless 313 340 HPLMN.

Do we know if Boost Infinite actually includes access to Dish's own network?
Currently it does not. It's AT&T only, with an option of switching to a T-Mobile sim/esim instead through customer service.
They still have a lot of work ahead of them to get devices onboard their own network. I mentioned some of their current challenges here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Dish5G/comments/zf3iqn/signed_up_for_boost_infinite_disappointed_the/izashn6/

So, I've now gone to a legacy Sprint store and talked with various agents on chat, and I keep getting redirected to scripts, with folks throwing solutions at the wall that I know won't work.
I have the Sprint Unlimited Plus business plan, which includes 1080p streaming (8 Mbps throttle). But since going TNX I've been throttled to 2.5 Mbps or less for video.
Who do I contact and how do I ask them to fix this? 'cuz it sounds like someone has gotten this fixed before?
I had T-Mobile contacts I hammered for months over this before they finally fixed all the consumer plans on Sprint billing. Unfortunately as far as executive support is aware, there are no more remaining streaming throttle issues. When you get moved to T-Mobile billing this will likely take care of itself, otherwise even if you try to push the issue it's likely to take many months of consistent pushing to get anything fixed.

Excellent. What kind of equipment are they using for the n77?
I wish I could tell you, but I have no idea. Will have to remember to bring a proper camera to get some good pictures if I'm ever in the area again.

Did they declare their intention to buy band 26 from T-Mobile. I know that they have the option to buy it but do they have the money or the intention to buy it? Are they leasing it right now?
They have the intention, as the equipment they're deploying supports n26. The transaction has not yet happened, T-Mobile is still in control and using the spectrum on some Sprint keep sites.

A lot of Dish sites here in Columbus OH. No Genesis notice yet. No new plmns either. Are you seeing a new plmn yet?
Dish sites when turned on are broadcasting 313 340, so that's what you're looking for.

Official Tmobile-Sprint merger discussion thread
in T-Mobile Merger/5G NR Deployment

This is how I saw it. No need to dedicate all the 2.5 to N41, when the site only has 1gbps backhaul. 100MHz N41 will already be fully saturated. Keeping b41 active allows LTE devices have a good experience in the meantime until backhaul is improved.
