I have heard TMobile could get more to drop out with the 5G promise like they did with Mississippi and Texas. They will not you any luck with California and NY. If it comes down to, only two states left blocking and the rest support is that enough?

When did they get Texas to drop out?

As we're about to enter October, the September security update is now available. No VoLTE, of course.

Sorry, does this mean it got the volte update or no?

One Plus 7 Pro 5G launched on Sprint. We're only about a month or two out from the new 5G One Plus phone being launched, but I guess better late than never? https://newsroom.sprint.com/oneplus-7pro-5g-launches-as-sprints-fourth-5g-device.htm

Looks like my new phone! Perfect timing too!

Does anyone know if this phone has 1x800? Granted, at this point that may not be a big deal to most people, but it might matter to those on the fringes of coverage.

Another update came out today for the August security patch sans VoLTE, of course.

Verizon has had the best support. ATT and T-Mobile tied. For example Verizon, T-Mobile and ATT all pushed out the night mode update for the Note 9. V and ATT even pushed them for the S9 and S10. Sprint has only pushed for the S10 and the Note 9 and S9 still don’t have VoLTE.

To be fair, this latest update added night mode for the Note 9.

July Security patch is out and needless to say, still no VoLTE 🙄

I was at least hoping to hear an update on the ongoing negotiations with the Suing attorney general's offices.    I heard from 14 they are down to 9 that are still suing ... so that is progress.     

Where'd you hear that from?

Anyone else experience google search app not working saying its offline when roaming on Tmobile? Vacationing in Hawaii and roaming on tmo at rental house. Wifi fixes issue when available.

Yeah, I get that whenever I'm roaming internationally. I just open up Chrome, go to google.com and then enter my search there. It always works. I don't understand why it always says offline when using the Google search app.

I moved on to the S10 5G. Got tired of the battery life and lack of VoLTE

That's understandable. It's not really an option for me as I'm a fan and frequent user of the S Pen. I had honestly planned to skip the Note 10 and just rock the Note 9 until next year's Note 11. However, if they haven't released the VoLTE update for the Note 9 by the time the Note 10 drops I may have to rethink that plan.

Wow insane

Indeed. I don't know if the holdup is Sprint or if it's Samsung and at this point I honestly don't care. It's beyond ridiculous that the S9 & Note 9 haven't gotten their VoLTE updates yet.

June security patch is out.

Still no VoLTE 🤨🙄

NYC has the largest deployment out of all of them and it's because their macro site density is insane here. The rest of the cities don't look too good.

Indeed. Their Las Vegas launch coverage is hilarious . I guess if one is staying at the Luxor then they're probably in good shape...

I'm currently in Montego Bay and Sprint Global Roaming has been pretty decent thus far. We seemed to jump on Digicel when we first arrived, but our phones have been preferring FLOW since then. Coverage has been quite good even indoors. I imagine that the network(s) are quite dense, at least in this part of the island. I've remained on the free low-speed data option on my Note 9 while my wife eventually opted for the high speed data pass for a week on her S9+. The difference in speed can obviously be seen in the screenshots though they are from different locations. Despite the unimpressive speed test numbers I've found the low speed data to be surprisingly snappy when doing mundane tasks and even viewing Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc take longer but isn't too terrible. Data intensive jobs such as trying to upload pics or video is somewhere between painful and futile though. People who do a lot of uploading/streaming to social media will definitely want to shell out the dough for the high speed data day or week pass. One interesting thing is that despite the high ping times Sprint Direct Connect Plus still performs very nicely including during the time before my wife bought the data pass.

If I'm not mistaken the COO mentioned that they are participating in these auctions under a different name.

Thanks for the reminder. You're absolutely correct, ATI Sub LLC.

Not terribly surprising, but Sprint is sitting out the 24 GHz millimeter wave spectrum auction after also sitting out the 28 GHz auction.

Personally I agree with what has been said before on this site...

If the T-Mobile & Sprint Merger does not get approved by the Federal Gov't then Sprint will eventually go out of business within the next 5 years and will be sold off in parts to the other Wireless Carriers (Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile) and some of the spectrum most likely will be sold off to Direct TV and Dish Network.

FWIW, DirecTV is already wholly owned by AT&T.

Some substantial progress on the 800 MHz front.

Indeed, although that License Acquisitions entity seems like a royal PITA.

I was surprised to learn that the Vegas Customer Service Center was still open as my understanding it was supposed to be "closed" a few years ago as well. But I heard it was expanded, so that was a pleasant surprise.

Yep, my people on the inside  have told me that they've expanded previously and are still expanding. These job postings seem to corroborate that:
