    I am also experiencing data connection issues 

    When leaving Washington DC the other day I noticed my phone had no connection for 5 minutes. 

    And then last night at around 3am my phone goes crazy receiving a bulk of text messages that were sent to me hours ago. 

    Not good at all.

    Received my Ultra yesterday and could not get the Sim Card to transfer over so I had to make a trip to Sprint/Tmobile this morning. 
    Heads up, I got my Sim replaced with a Tmobile one back in September. 
    Today they said they couldn't figure out why the sim would not transfer so they gave me a new one they claim they just received and is the most updated in regards to the new 5G network. 
    On my way home I begin picking up the ‘5G UC’ signal for the 1st time.
    I recommend going in to make sure you have the most up to date SIM.

    Side Note: there was a lady in her late 60's being helped next to me. She wanted to upgrade to the S22. The rep was unable to process the order because he claimed the phone has not released yet (2/25) and then tried to recommend her to the Galaxy A71 or one of those recent variants talking about the phone is basically the same as the S22. I wanted to speak up and tell her to walk away and call telesales so bad but  like me she would have to still come back to the store anyway to activate the sim. She was also a Sprint/Tmobile customer smh

    I am torn on what to do with this upgrade 

    $1,000 trade in for my Note S20 Ultra is a good deal but I hate the 24 month credit scheme because If I wanted to upgrade to the S23 Ultra in a year I basically lose out on my trade in value.

    I just paid off my remaining balance 
    I saw someone on twitter mention they were offered $1,000 trade in credit over the span of 24 months from Sprint/Tmobile. 
    I would prefer to buy directly from Samsung but it looks like they don't have the Sprint with Tmobile version. 
    I rather get a $800 trade in from Samsung out the gate only owing them $200+ vs being locked in with Sprint/Tmoble 24 months.

    Yeah I am also only seeing the same thing in regards to seeing no trade in offers at all. 

    The payoff on my Note 20 Ultra is $218.75
    Upgrading to the S22 Ultra I see the monthly payment is $50. Sheesh

    Here in the Columbus Ohio market, we're slowly getting n41 rolled out to us.  I was watching a tower that has the antennas on it, and yesterday I was able to connect to n41.  I had B66 @ 20 MHz, and n41 @ 60 MHz.  Pulled down 360 Mb/s.  This was a drive-by, I didn't stop, and didn't try to force SA (I swapped my sim last week for the TNX.) I know there are a couple other towers with n41 active, and I've spotted at least 1 other with the antennas.  I'm also suspecting a couple towers that haven't gotten B71 to get a gull overhaul with n41, just due to their location.

    Overall, I'd say that I get NR about 75% of the places I go, maybe more.

    Yeh I was in Columbus last month picking up 5G in Reynoldsburg/Pickerington and Westerville

    Try setting your network mode from Automatic to LTE/CDMA.  This even fixed my S10, non 5G issues I commented on earlier in the thread.

     

    Discussion there.

    So the internet went out in my area and has been out all day. I been using my Note 20 Ultra as a hot spot for my Macbook and IPTV. 
    My speeds start to decrease as I believe Sprint/Tmobile is throttling me. I play around with my hotspot settings and come across an option to change the Band to 5Ghz. The moment I change it, my 5G reception comes back. WTF?
    Somehow the software update I guess changed that setting. 
    All is well now.

    This helps explain why the merging of Sprint and T-Mobile networks is taking so long. emoji2375.png

    Maybe a dumb question 
    I upgraded to the Note 20 Ultra assuming that the antennas would be tmobile. The phone still shows "Sprint by Tmobile". 
    In the article it references million of Sprint customers needing to shift to T-Mobile 5G. Is the Note 20 Ultra future proof or am I still technically on Sprint's dying network and need to switch to a more compatible device in the near future?
