  1. I don't think anything specific has been said about T-Mobile users being able to use Sprint towers. Why give T-Mobile users extra coverage if you're just going to shut off most of the Sprint towers 3 years later? And since T-Mobile only plans to deploy the EBS/BRS band using the NR airlink from their network, I don't know that your one plus will ever connect to B41.
    It's possible, but I'm not getting my hopes up.
    T-Mobile customers will have access to Sprint sites and T-Mobile is keeping 10,000 of them

  2. And this is why others like other side.  Sprint is strict.  The best example is the One Plus.  Even though it DOES have a CDMA radio and supports VoLTE, because it doesn't support like 1x800 they won't take it.
    ATT/TMobile don't care.  If its unlocked, it'll take a sim and you get whatever that phone supports.  Only supports B2 LTE, PCS HPSA and GSM, well that is all you get. 
    Even phone like say the P30 or Phone 2, they support B26.  Lot of PCS Sprint has is within B2.  Sprint could enable MFBI for B2 to support more devices. If they allowed non-CDMA phones on their network phone makers might go through the touch extra effort to certify B25. 
    None of that really mades Sprint is about to make there finally exit and wake up in TMobile land. With today there will be mfbi 2 and 25

  3. It is what is being implied. It's the fact that you need a compatible phone that supports CDMA to run on Sprint.  This rules out loads of phones. 

    Just a few that come to mind instantly: OnePlus, Huawei, Razor, Hydrogen, Sonim, LTE flip phones.

    Most of those likely don't have B25/26 and the one plus 7 could work on Sprint as it has 25,26,41 and VOLTE

  4. You don't understand?     Anything other than some data, it's still divided by carrier GSM/CDMA... all the old back up systems are still there for calling etc...as well as how the phone handles simultaneous call/data use...   band aids are in place for CDMA to do that but they don't work as intended....       I get what he intended/meant.   I still see a difference.. we haven't been on LTE all that long (2-3 years??) and we don't roam across the carriers like we should.    

    GSM is 2G and CDMA is 2G/3G. LTE has nothing to do with either and most phones these days work on any network.  Sprint has had LTE since 2012 so that's 7 years not 2-3.

  5. I'm so tired of this argument for so many reasons!   Airwaves and towers cost money...  equipment, people...   etc... do you really expect costs to NOT go up over the years?    Does the cost of food, drugs, and fuel not rise constantly?   Why do you think the cost of phone/internet service should not go up?   
    I truly think and believe what they have been saying ... when you combine the networks and there is a lot of available band width... they will try to fill it...  I think since there will be more, prices for service will probably drop.   But if they don't, I can understand why.       
    I'm tired of people who keep bringing up CDMA it GSM. I have no clue what they mean by a unlocked GSM phone. There are tons of devices that work on all carriers.

  6. I’m really interested to see what T-Mobile does with this 2.5 and the rate of tower integration. I would like to guess that cities are going to be very dense and the service not working in buildings should die as well. Crowded events like concerts and stuff shouldn’t be as bad either.

    Yeah if malls and stadium, all had the combined FDD plus B41,LAA and mmwave it would definitely be great.

  7. I was planning on switching back to Sprint (Verizon customer currently) around September. Would I still be able to get a current sprint plan since the deal hasn’t closed and probably won’t until October? Also has there been any detail as to if T-Mobile will honor the Hulu, Tidal add-ones for the 3 year promise?

    As of now yeah. The trail could go all the way to December

  8. As far as 700 mHz goes, who owns most of it?  AT&T or Verizon?   I remember Verizon getting a pretty decent swath...
    Vzw owns Nationwide 10x10 Band13 plus 10x10 B5 in some areas. Some areas get two 10x10 carriers for B5. Att has 10x10 B12 most of the country with some areas at 5x5. Att owns 10x10 B14 Nationwide and 10x10 B5 in some areas with limited areas 2, 10x10's

  9. There really isn't any 700 (ABC) left.  700MHz is about as nationwide as TMobile can ever get it unless regional carriers sell out or need cash so are willing to sell some assets.
    600 is where all the speculators are. This is where all the large spectrum transactions are going to be taking place in the future.
    Its already been confirmed that Dish is buying B26 from Sprint so B12 and 71 are a keeper
