I wonder what kind of network/Wi-Fi calling switch over is happening at the end of Oct. Maybe TM will be primary first network?

Some users have noticed a single channel of B41 for LTE in Nokia markets on a fully upgraded tower. Doesn't sound widespread. They can also do it with tech called DSS. But all TM has said it is buggy and impacts performance too much. They have more than enough spectrum though... They haven't given any updates on DSS since Feb.

I see TM doing some frequency swaps around the country. Are these needed before they can merge B2 and B25? Otherwise what is the hold up?

I'm assuming some of those people complaining about B41 loss have the S20 or another current 5G phone, because then the T-Mobile network becomes primary and you will lose B41. Not defending it. I know how frustrating it is, and I've echoed the all eggs into 5G concern before, too. Sounds like it is happening to non-5G phone users too:

What, T-Mobile wouldn't want to carry on the tradition of different SIM SKUs for different phones?

Glad to see there is some LTE staying around. Apparently in Nokia markets the equipment can do dual LTE/5G but not Ericsson?

There's quite a bit of B71 only in Northern WI, but it seems based on the TM MVNO map where you can see what LTE bands are available in a spot, B71 deployment has definitely stalled. Madison and Milwaukee are not good markets for TM, I know largely because spectrum availability is so low. Sprint isn't great in WI, but TM is even worse, especially rural. I hope they have a commitment to make it better. The map I'm taking about: https://maps.t-mobile.com/pcc.html?map=mvno-noroam-34l I hope TM is also committed to combining their B2 and Sprint B25 ASAP.

I've done a few profile updates over the last few weeks and I'm still on Sprint, at least in the Milwaukee area. I'm concerned about what service I will get with my S10 because while Sprint isn't great here, T-Mobile is even worse (Milwaukee is probably the most spectrum starved TM market), and B71 is only deployed in a few areas. They seem to be putting their eggs all in the 5G basket, not caring about keeping any of B41 for LTE. DSS can allow this, but all they've said it is buggy.

Is T-Mobile making all of B71 5G also or can that be used for LTE?

The "layer cake" is all about 5G though it seems. No LTE improvements?

New update this morning.. though it keeps the same April security level. Maybe modem update? Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

A few on Reddit said their S20s auto profile updated and are now seeing TM 5G. Sounds like it isn't an all at one time rollout.

No you don't, then it isn't supported on that model. I'm not sure what phones are supported by that app. I can use it unrooted on my S10. Sorry!
