True but I'm sure they can find away so it doesn't affect the NGN roll out. Sprint will focus on NGN while dish can work on deploying 600mhz on selective Sprint sites. Im sure Sprint will make their phones compatible with 600mhz since many small carriers within Sprint's rural alliance will bid in the auction.

What if Dish and Sprint has a plan...Dish bids for the spectrum, the two enter a spectrum hosting deal, then BAM

I know that but the easiest way to tell on an iPhone 6s/6s plus is the speed since field test mode isn't working correctly.

No way to check. just run a speed test and if it's over 80mbps then you kind of know it's CA. With my iPhone 6 my speeds on band 41 (2.5 aka spark) was 50-60mbps now with my iPhone 6s Plus I average around 70-90 Mbps My highest was 101mbps!!

When will sprint start deploying the 3rd B41 carrier?

So you want sprint to spend billions of dollars on a frequency they cannot deploy in 5-7 years than Sprint to spends billions of dollars into frequencies they already have by building more macro sites, small cells, optimization etc. This actually proves Sprint wants to be #1. They are investing their money into something they have 100% in control of (their existing network) instead of something that might not see the light of day. I personally would love for Sprint to bid in the auction but I prefer for sprint to manage on what they have in front of them first before they invest into something else.

I think this a good decision. Yes sprint can benefit the additional low band spectrum but sprint already has so much on its plate now. It will benefit sprint in the long term to use its cash for building out its "Next Gen Network" than to spend its money on this auction.

Lol I won't. I'm too scared of you!!

We shall see. It will suck to only know you are experiencing CA by doing a speed test. Also I hope the phones will be CA enabled out the box lol

I wonder how the Field test mode report CA on the new iPhones....

Me too!

Mine still shows the same. Tomorrow we will probably get Tracking update

Yes once you terminate the lease it will make you eligible for an upgrade. Customer care has to send an escalations ticket and the upgrade eligibility should reflect within 24 hours. For the apple upgrade program, I will only be financing the device correct? Will I need to activate the iPhone at the POS? I have an employee plan through sprint and the only way I can purchase phones is buying them outright. Also I have to go through Sprint employee accounts to activate my device... I just don't want to make the trip to Apple if they can't help me since they won't have access to my sprint account
