I signed up for Sprint's unlimited kickstart plan and noticed there is a lot of "extended network" coverage near me. Today was the first chance I had to test it when I left native coverage. It switches to US Cellular but all I got was the R indicator on my phone. Same indicator when it switches to Verizon. I have my settings as Automatic for network instead of Home only. I also have data roaming turned off. Basically my question is, how can I know when I am on extended network instead of roaming? Most of the coverage west of me shows extended network with very little roaming areas. I don't want to get charged for roaming on accident.

I am curious if they are still using nextel type services for people who still rely on this for work. I found an old Nextel map of the area but now I can't find it. Nonetheless, there are few Sprint towers in my area. T-mobile has added quite a few in the last year while Sprint's footprint is essentially the same here.
-
I have found a few Nextel towers that still come up as licensed in Southern NH but have no signals out of them. One of the licenses shows about a dozen frequencies in the 862mhz range. Does anyone know what these would be used for now? Do some people still have an IDEN type service? I would be thrilled if Sprint were to put a 1x800 signal on them since service West of Goffstown is basically non existent.

[PSA] The holy LTE trinity. A third Band 41 carrier now going live!
signalchaser commented on lilotimz's blog entry in The Wall
Would resetting carrier services help with obtaining the new carrier or is that not needed? -
I just activated a Nexus 6 today and I have version 55052. Now for the fun part driving around looking for changes. In the snow even!
-
I have Tmobile and have never seen it acknowledge band 2 LTE. It always says band 4. Is there a workaround for this? Other than that it seems to identify bands properly. Thanks

I have a couple PRL questions. I noticed some of my phones are up to version 55051. Another one is 25051. Are the different versions for different band capability? Also is there any way to be notified when a new PRL is out. I don't make it a habit to update my PRL all the time and being notified of changes would be easier for me. Is there a current database of what newer PRL changes there are?

[PSA] LTE roam if you want to. Plus (+), it may count as native coverage.

Has anyone verified if sprint any mvnos can utilize lte roaming + as native coverage? -
So does anyone have access to Wimax since the network is still up or is it only working for the parties that are part of the court case?
-
is there any news on the protection sites? Or is it delayed because of the shutdown not being complete yet?

I think in Maine they may have updated to US cell roaming. Its just LTE roaming though. Look on the map. -

Does anyone know what phones work for the LTE roaming plus? -

republic wireless is indicating the same roaming as now having 3g access. Can anyone verify? -
Sprint mvno's and roaming plus access
signalchaser replied to signalchaser's topic in General Topics
I actually just looked at boost's coverage map and it just shows standard sprint coverage throughout the country. On Freedompop's however it shows 3g coverage not only in the Roaming + areas but extensively where US Cellular roaming would be. I can check with a Freedompop device. If this is the case it puts a whole different paint job on things. -
I noticed Sprint has the Roaming + feature on the map now with extensive coverage in Mississippi up through appalachia and Kansas and Oklahoma. My question is will this service work with Freedompop or Ringplus or Boost Mobile accounts? I don't live close enough to these areas to check but I would like to know.
-
I tried to use Wimax in Merrimack NH with a ringplus phone. It connects to Wimax but I can't browse at all. Haven't tried freedompop yet. Tower is still live though.
-
I will check the signal in town over the next few days and see if it is still up in Manchester.
-
Theres an article from a Kansas City news outlet saying Sprint is being ordered to extend Wimax network coverage in certain areas for 90 days.
