Perhaps you're right. I certainly want to see Sprint expand their international roaming offers. Who knows, perhaps this is the "in" to talk to Hutchinson Whampoa about setting up a more affordable roaming agreement with their footprint. HWL has coverage in a number of countries: United Kingdom (Hutchison 3G UK t/a Three UK) Ireland (Hutchison 3G Ireland t/a Three Ireland) Austria (Hutchison Drei Austria t/a Drei Austria) Denmark (Hi3G Denmark t/a Tre Danmark) Sweden (Hi3G Access t/a Tre Sverige) Hong Kong (3 Hong Kong) Indonesia (Hutchinson 3 Indonesia t/a 3 Indonesia) Italy (H3G t/a 3 Italia) It'd be awesome if Sprint was able to get access to that footprint. -
It should fall back to normal roaming rates in that scenario, if your phone allowed you to connect to it. I would hope that Sprint implemented it properly so that you wouldn't be provisioned to roam on that network, and you'd be kicked off, but someone would have to go there and test it... But you don't know when the agreement was actually made. Things like these are usually done several months before they are announced, as it takes a very long time to actually negotiate these agreements. The O2 Ireland sale was approved and completed in November. That wasn't that long ago. The other two O2 units were most likely not included because they'd been sold over a year ago.
-
In telecommunications, contracts like these are usually written to have stipulations to void upon a "change of control" situation, mainly because the agreements are usually group-to-group negotiations. That is, SoftBank+Sprint made the deal with Telefónica, not with O2 UK. If Telefónica happens to not own O2 UK anymore, then Sprint simply loses access to that area. That's why Sprint doesn't have "value roaming" with O2 Ireland or O2 Slovakia+Czech Republic, as those are no longer owned by Telefónica. It's for this same reason that any buyout of T-Mobile US would result in a massive scale decrease for the company, as it would lose the procurement agreements negotiated through BUYIN and roaming agreements negotiated through Deutsche Telekom.

The saddest part of this is that UK will go away soon, once Telefónica sells it to Hutchison 3G UK Limited (t/a 3 UK).

You can call and add the feature for free to your plan. Also, it works by using Telefónica Latin America (movistar and vivo), Telefónica España (movistar Spain), Telefónica Europe (O2 in Germany and UK), and SoftBank in Japan for roaming networks.

Well, you're just in luck. T4GRU is now a thing. It's new, but it aims to be an environment for wireless enthusiasts interested in T-Mobile can come together.- 15 replies

Sprint or T-Mobile: which is better for a BlackBerry fan?
Conan Kudo replied to BlackBerryRulez's topic in BlackBerry/RIM
While it is true (as A.J. pointed out earlier in the thread) that BlackBerry phones currently do not support band 26 or band 12, they will support band 12 eventually, because Rogers, Telus, and Bell all have spectrum in the Lower 700MHz A block (though they've just started deploying in the band). This is why the unlocked BlackBerry Passport has both bands 13 and 17, and why the Canadian Samsung Galaxy S6 has bands 12 and 13. Telus is also starting to use band 25 LTE in former Public Mobile CDMA areas (backed up with HSPA+ on 850MHz and PCS A-F), which is why the unlocked BlackBerry Classic has the band. While the unlocked BlackBerry Leap doesn't have band 12, a future BlackBerry device will. And if T-Mobile gets a deal in place with BlackBerry again, we may see it even sooner. And of course, all of these devices currently work fine on T-Mobile's PCS+AWS HSPA+/LTE network. So I'd go with T-Mobile because of the availability of compatible devices.- 15 replies
