Well if they show up and are T-Mobile sims then your doing TNX not tna.

Ok I won't do anything with them if they are T-Mob sims! Thanks for the heads up.

If your talking about tna then you can have that applied on a sprint sim. You said you moved over the other devices to tna via esim which you don’t have to have esim. TNX is switching SIM cards from a sprint to a T-Mobile sim. Tna is applied to your line when on a sprint sim.

Well, the guy moved my (3) Pixel 4's over to TNA over the phone in a matter of a couple minutes. Those 3 have eSim.

My other 3 devices are not eSim, (2) Pixel 2 XL and 1 S8. He said he is mailing 3 sims for those 3 devices???????

I’ve never heard anything about esim making a difference for tna.

I don't think anyone said that. My question was about devices that use physical sim cards and if I can get a TNA one mailed to me for each of those devices.

You don’t need esim to tna.

You are saying I can keep the current Sim in my S8 and Pixel 2's and I can get moved to TNA OTA via Chat or a Sprint agent?

You need a TNX sim and I do believe they will mail you them if you ask.

I moved my 3 Pixel 4's to TNA via eSim. Was a piece of cake.

Just figuring out the easiest way to get my 3 other devices that don't use sSim on to TNA. Don't want TNX in my market yet. Also, Pixel devices aren't compatible for TNX.

Anyone know if Sprint will mail me TNA sim cards for my devices that don't use eSim?

Since 3 of my devices use a physical sim (Pixel 2 XL's and S8), is it possible to get a Sim mailed to me? The closest Sprint store isn't very close or convenient to get to. My Pixel 4's use esim so those are a super easy easy switch over.

Out of curiosity, why don't they just put everyone on TNA if it enhances the overall network experience?? T-Mobile network isn't quite ready for the influx?

Does TNA allow you on all Sprint towers or only the 312-250 "keep" towers?

TNA - Any drawbacks???

I noticed the last couple weeks that my Airave CDMA light was flashing Red. Tried power cycling a few times to no avail. I called the Airave team and they said that Sprint is phasing them out and there is no way to get it re-activated on my account.

He wants to move me to TNA which he says allows me to bounce more freely onto T-Mobile towers and will give me better service compared to my regular Sprint plan I am on now.

I currently have 6 devices on my account. My question is: is there any reason NOT to move all my devices to TNA? When I leave native Sprint service, will I roam the same (or better/worse) than I currently do onto other Roaming providers?

My devices are

(2) Pixel 4 XL

(2) Pixel 2  XL

(1) Pixel 4

(1) Samsung S8

I tried searching around this forum and others and couldn't really find a whole. TIA

Strange.  

I'm running an iPhone 12 and received a message from Sprint/TMobile in email regarding "It's time to upgrade to a bigger and better network at no extra cost" claiming I get access to a wider network resource allotment or the like.  

I supposedly will still pay bills and do other admin work via sprint.com and the mysprint app.

I live 900 feet from a Sprint B41 tower and it's been fine but is this something I should pursue or is it something to be avoided?  

 

If it were me I would stay right where you are unless you are unsatisfied with your service.

T-Mobile just upgraded your rate plan:

https://delivery.sprint.com/m/u/nxt/migration/faq.html

Monthly taxes and fees are now included.

Customers will be notified via text/email in the coming weeks.

Per the FAQ, you can opt out of this plan upgrade if you want to.

Well this could get hairy. I wonder how this will also change video throttling, etc which varies between different current plans. Upgrade could translate to downgrade for some users potentially.

I don't know if it was a throttling issue or a network one, but basically my entire trip on I-80/I-76 through central and western Nebraska into northeast Colorado I could barely load maps or stream music on Spotify. Basically less than 100Kpbs performance. 

I can confirm this as true. I had to go to my radio settings and force 3G. when i did, everything became "bareable" again when roaming on Viaero.

USCC roaming was excellent while it lasted. Grrrrrrr!

My tests start out at like 20Mpbs then slows down to 7 or so. Speed test is over 100 or 50 or so on SA.

You are being throttled. Sprint used to have a 4K option for your plan (still might) where it is truly unthrottled for I think $10/mo additional.

I too was on 74. Updated and now on 76.

Just wanted to chime in and say that my Pixel 4 XL RARELY connects to any T-Mobile towers in the Omaha/Lincoln/Council Bluffs market. Extremely rare.

My phone did that a few days prior to picking up lte 600

Meaning it now prefers it over 41/25/26?

Fingers crossed for ya on TMo converting the site and adding n41.

As far as I'm converned at this point, there isn't a compelling reason to get a 5G device at all for AT&T or VZW, as for non-mmW you'll have access to the same spectrum via DSS anyway. So for AT&T/VZW it wouldn't be a horrible idea to buy a Pixel 4a right now, where for T-Mobile doing that would limit you to 5, maybe 10, MHz of low-band spectrum in most places...and you'd miss n41.

Pixel 4a not recommended for Sprint/T-Mobile??????

Well folks, after 20 years with Sprint... I couldn't take the slow data at home and near my home.   7mbps down (on a good day) and .3 up.    Today I switched to AT&T prepaid.  141mbps down and 10 up.  Hugely better!    Unlimited Plus for $50. (current offer)   Saves me $$ and way better speed.     It's been long time and I just got tired of waiting for network improvements.      

Unlimited? Any throttling? Any Hotspot included?

No, because these phones are set up to run natively on T-Mobile, even though they are sold by Sprint. 

"set up"? are you saying that other phones that support the same bands as those can't be set up to run on T-Mo natively?

3 hours ago, Dkoellerwx said:

Unless you have a Samsung Galaxy S20(+, Ultra), Galaxy A71 or LG V60, you only get access to T-Mobile roaming. That means if there is even a hint of Sprint signal, you are stuck on that.

Because those are the only phones you can completely (and semi-easily) disable Sprint bands on?
