Sprint VoLTE Discussion Thread Redux
ZebraDude replied to lilotimz's topic in Network, Network Vision/LTE Deployment
I have 2 handsets. My primary handset is a iPhone 11 Pro Max on Sprint and I have had VoLTE and works well. My secondary handset is a Google Pixel 3XL on Google Fi using Sprint’s towers mostly and still on CDMA voice. Does anyone think that Sprint will allow MVNO ‘a like Fi to access VoLTE?

Woo Hoo. Yes I did this time. It was a long setup. I did the wired migration for the data transfer. Sprint servers we’re maxed out but was able to do a online swap and I needed to do a dialer code to finish. Went with The new AppleCare monthly as it covers this iPhone forever. I plan to keep this one for a while. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

My iPhone is scheduled to arrive between 2 to 4pm tomorrow. (wondering who should I pray to to keep the UPS "mice" from stealing my iPhone and putting it on ebay to be sold to a sucker, as it happened last year.)hmmm
-
I guess that we can now call them Apple modems as Apple bought the division after Intel exited the business.
-
Be aware. Unlike the Pixel 3 and 3 XL the carrier's are getting different versions that have different LTE Band's and some have e-SIM's and some don't.
-
That is great to learn.

Very interesting! I was wondering why I have never seen T-Mobile roaming. I am in the Chicagoland area. Is Chicagoland a area where I should see/be allowed to native roam on T mobile? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Boo hoo. [emoji4]

I know I should not be happy as Sprint is dead last with VoLTE but I am. It is working wonderfully for me I still have not connected to any T-Mobile towers yet. Signal is still low on the strength icons. Is there a way to switch to a numerical value instead of the strength icons. I know it was possible on the Qualcomm modems?
-
I'm going on a hunch that the magic ios 12.1.1 for roaming
-
My belief is that Sprint will give T-mobile native roaming priority to the people running or capable of running VoLTE as to back fill the holes we all know that Sprint has in its OEM towers as VoLTE is sensitive to LTE gaps.
-
This is purely a guess but now that we know that the VoLTE trigger for the launch devices in the launch markets is in 12.1.1. (Currently Developer Beta 1) with a Carrier Bundle of 34.5.5 they might be using the T-mobile native roaming as a full in for VoLTE and it will be in that same bundle firmware update. I can’t test this as I let my developer account lapse. I am hoping that the 12.1.1 is opened to beta testers today!
-
and of coarse I let my Developer Account lapse......My guess is the Carrier Bundle is the important issue this is the VoLTE bundle I hope 34.5.5.
-
you have given me hope!

If you feel like living on the wild side 12.1 is in open Beta (I believe beta 4) you can apply at this link.... https://beta.apple.com/sp/betaprogram/
-
Or, Is your friend on a pre paid account or MVNO?
-
Darn!, Could the carrier bundle be out of date with the 6S?
-
Yes everything is supported BUT some of the services need to be "Whitelisted" at the carrier. WiFi calling normally needs to be whitelisted at the carrier level.
-
assuming that your friends iPhone is on Sprint I believe the answer is the home labeled T-Mobile "Roaming" you are experiencing is the newer bands and I bet the friends iPhone 6(s)? does have access to those bands in their radio...
-
I believe when Sprint signed the roaming agreement they have it programmed as home area. So no...it's considered as home area for subscribers. now if you happen to use Sprint's towers through a MVNO then I believe you run on just the Sprint Owned towers.
-
I believe the answer is simple. Sprint and T-mobile signed a roaming agreement and the agreement is to display it as a Sprint area. And Sadly our Xs's are weaker is signal capture..
-
I just picked up my replacement Max and now I'm waiting for my watch to stabilize (first gen real slow) so I can unpair it (you have to back up/unpair any watches first) then iTunes backup the old X then new iPhone recovery....
-
WOO HOO! Sprint made it good. I have a new max order pending...they will send it to a hub this time!
