3rd zoom level on the "3G & More" setting brings up the roaming areas.

Oh wow I totally missed that. Wonder if they'll add it o the LTE/Spark map. Hopefully they will as native. Roaming just looks bad in general.

Probably in the works as more countries turn on LTE, If we see Sprint create LTE roaming agreements in, lets say Mexico, those in the International Value Roaming will be able to access LTE, but still at throttled 2G speeds (kinda like how today we are able to get on their fast HSPA+ network with 2G speeds). Of course, this is assuming you have a phone that supports the necessary bands.

 

In order to benefit from any potential high speed LTE, you will most likely have to pay for data buckets.

Yea that would be great because having the option to connect at those high speeds would be great and even if you don't buy a bucket, you still have LTE ping and LTEs pretty decent edge of cell performance which is a lot better than that of HSPA or HSPA+.

Hey does anyone know if sprint is planning on offering international roaming on LTE networks? AT&T has LTE roaming agreements in over 200 countries and I don't think that sprint has any right now? Is this something they are planning to announce or are they planning on sticking with their current 3G agreements.

Any news on B26 (800mhz) LTE in either Tucson or Seattle because B25 is seriously not cutting it.  The Sprint CEO hinted at the start of B26 deployment when he spoke a little while back but he was not specific as far as I remember.  Does anyone have any idea when the 800mhz rollout may start in either of these cities?

Do you think that Sprint will update their coverage map to show at least the 3G roaming any time soon? Also will it show as Sprint 3G or Off-Network 3G?

I was curious as to how many POPs Sprint's whole network covered whether it's 1x, EVDO, FDD-LTE or TD-LTE. I looked online and could not really find a straight answer to this question probably because no one cares about 3G anymore. Does anyone know?

Any idea when the map will be updated to show the pseudo-native EVDO?

Sorry if this is a dumb question.

The service in my area (Kirkland) is good for the most part but there are a few holes in the LTE network and the penetration is honestly not that great.

For example, outside my house, the service is -92 to -95 b25 (1900mhz) LTE but when I step into my house, it drops to -114 to -118 or back to eHRPD.

I know that sprint is rolling out b26 (800mhz) LTE everywhere but it seems that Seattle is inside something called the IBEZ zone. I generally know what that means but I sm still not 100% clear. I was wondering if someone could explain what this means, how it affects the b26 rollout in the Seattle market and basically if Seattle will be getting b26 anytime soon.

Thanks!

I just got back from montana. I came in on i90 from Idaho and drove to Bozeman and it was all roaming. Does anyone have any idea yet as to the timeframe of the project?
