Tell verizon to add LTE B25/26/41 and BC 10 support to their phones and then we can start talking. 

It would nice if T-mobile will add thos bands to their phones sense sprint supports Tmobil bands on sprint phone now. Bands 2,4, and,12.

Sprint may not need to convert the site. Because they're using the spectrum for LTE as part of their main network, they may not need your protection site anymore. For example here in Iowa they may no longer need the rural protection sites to keep their licence because they've built out B41 in the cities here now.

What parts of Iowa have band 41? I havent gotten it when ive been there so Im just wondering.

Could also check to see what signal check pro says. I thought sprint didnt roam onto at&t.

Not all, but a good number.

Not all, but a good number.

They have any they plan to upgrade in the Minnesota market?

I know owns enough 800 mhz 1x800 voice/band 26 LTE to cover 300 million Americas.

any iDEN sites in minnesota that have been upgraded?

Try to make this as short and simple as possible. I have three devices; 2 of which are on the same plan and the third on a separate plan.

 

The third device is my tab 4 which is picking up SprintB41 site 310120 just great. I get 3 bars downstairs.

 

My other two devices; Galaxy Note 4 & Galaxy Note Edge for some reason will not pick up this tower. I have tried PRL updates, Profile updates, restarted the phones and all I can get them to connect to is a ClearwireB41 site.

 

More background info...all devices have same Sim card as when purchased, tablet stays off 3/4 of the day and my phones are on when I wake up and turn them off at night. No matter where I go inside or out my phones won't connect to the Sprint site.

 

Anybody have any ideas before I call Sprint trying to figure something out? I'm not sure how long the tablet has been able to connect to this site so I'm not sure what to think of it besides agitated that the tablet of all things is connecting. I posted two photos; one of the tablet connected to the Sprint site; second of the Clear wire site my phones connect to.

 

Thanks in advance.

two diffrent towers maybe. sprint spark is running clearwire on some of them as sprint equpiment hasnt been swapped into replace it yet. i only get clearwire b41 at my work. I use the samsung S5.

I think I can agree on that

I've got a LG Tribute that's unactivated on Boost (still shows 3G/1X) with occasional LTE, SignalCheck Pro and LTE Discovery don't have a clue.

 

I wanted to provide GCI's for the devs, but it connects to LTE so rarely that I can't.

 

That being said, I do run CellMapper 24/7 and what LTE it does connect to on highways (B26) does map.

yeah ive tryed LTE discovery says LTE band unknown

SignalCheck should be displaying Boost Mobile's LTE bands, what is the PLMN that is being displayed and are you using Lite or Pro?I

I use the pro version.

Is there away that showing LTE bands could be added for Sprint's prepaid offerings on signal check pro? I use Boost Mobile and,it doesnt show the LTE band. I was told to post here to request it. Thanks S4GRU

Oops edit to that meant however that roaming NOT hopefully. Sorry

some of the cca agreements are up for 3G. Hopefully that's just roaming. The native coverage will be cca rrpp members that add Sprint spectrum to their towers.

AT&T is still not a bad network, they are still not done with LTE deployment, sometimes there 3G "HSPA +" is faster then there LTE. I have friends who have T-mobile and they still get 2G EDGE out side city limits LOL and I think I remember seeing somewhere saying T-mobile will have LTE on ALL there 2G EDGE sites by the end of 2014, its almost the end of 2014.... I maybe I didnt read that right or I might be wrong. Regardless ALL the carriers have there good and bad spots, no one carrier is THE BEST and PERFECT, Just saying!! 

its actually 2G to LTE by the end of 2015 not 2014

Why in the world would the LG G Flex 2 not support Sprint Spark out of the box?

Specifically wondering about the Galaxy S 6 and LG G4. Also wasn't there supposed to be a wall article on CCA/RRPP updates? Just wondering if you guys have heard anything that I've missed. Should be pretty close to that info coming out.

Interesting. The clearwire equipment will be replaced with whoever upgrades your area. In my area its Samsung.

Band 26 also isnt as available as band 25. Yet

Only LTE is on 700MHz and XLTE on AWS (1800/2100MHz). They use Cellular (800MHz) and PCS (1900MHz) for 1x and EV-DO.

verzion is planning LTE on there 1900 pcs

Wow. VZW using just 5MHz channels in PCS? Surprising.

 

Using Sharp AQUOS Crystal on Tapatalk

All 4 US carriers 1900 PCS is 5mhz. vzw's sprint's at&t's and Tmobile"S are all 5mhz

They should use the old Clear sites too that will help because the Clear sites are not all on Sprint towers and that will help too. 

They are doing that. at somepoint the clearwire equipment will be swapped out. in my area thats samsung.

Out of nowhere, Blue Wireless is participating in this. Blue's network has been pretty bad up until this point only offering 1x service. What I don't understand is that Blue's coverage is only cities. Cities that Sprint covers nonetheless. 

 

In New York:

• Binghamton
• Buffalo
• Elmira
• Jamestown
• Dunkirk
• Niagara Falls

In Pennsylvania:

• Scranton
• Wilkes-Barre

All have native Sprint coverage and some have 4G LTE. I'm in Scranton and we definitely have Network Vision rolled out here. Blue's plans beat everyone else though. $46 for everything including unlimited high-speed data. Blue definitely runs its own network too. 

this is a good question. one of the benitfits of these agreements is. bluegrass can use sprint nationwide network outside of there current footprint.

I am very interested in Bluegrass Cellular's involvement in this.  Where I live in Central Kentucky they have a huge LTE presence and curiously enough the iPhone 5S model used for Sprint is the same model listed on Apple's site that supports Bluegrass Cellular for supported LTE and not the Verizon model.

 

It would be nice if Sprint and BC executed a roaming agreement and hopefully would only require a iPhone update to allow for roaming.

when bluegrass agreement goes into affect with sprint it will include LTE. they use diffrent bands from sprint so sprint will support there bands in new phones. bluegrass is a member of CCA so some of sprints CCA members have agreed to build out sprint current network bands onto there towers.

OK stupid question time.

I've skimmed through pretty much all the entries on this thread and have seen some mentioning of requiring new devices in order to support Band 12 and maybe a few other bands, but lets say RRPP members and Sprint switch on LTE roaming today.  I'm sure its dependent upon the LTE setup of each of the RRPP members, but what current devices, if any, would be able to take advantage of the roaming?

sprint is planning on adding alot of LTE bands that arent used on there current footprint. for sure they will add the ones of the CCA members. so new phones will work with that. however for current phones that dont have thos bands, the CCA members have also agreed to building out sprint network onto there towers. Includeing the spark band. hope this info helps.

Sadly, I have to agree with you.  I am sure they will work out some sort of agreement with them, but I think it will be as just a CCA member.  I would be satisfied with a 500MB - 1GB roaming allotment with them though. 

 

I'm still hoping for them to be a RRPP member though.  USCC coverage treated as native would be great around here.  Also, it would give Sprint an instant upgrade in LTE coverage in many areas the day they start it up compared to a lot of these RRPP members that won't have strong LTE networks for awhile. 

CCA agreements are native coverage NOT off network roaming. so if sprint and us cellular do something they will both have access to each others network. us cellular will gain nationwide coverage on sprint's nationwide yet. the other CCA members that have already signed on with sprint work the same way.
