T-mobile network users - Question for you!
Do your devices (hotspots/modems) now connect to Sprint bands as well? I live in an area where Tmo is lacking severely but Sprint has always been strong. Curious is Tmo is now using Sprint simultaneously and seamlessly or not.

Re: T-mobile network users - Question for you!
That is a great question! Been wondering the same thing myself, kinda.
On the road as we speak(not driving, passenger
) and my test Sprint phone is hitting TMO towers like greased lightning. Do not have a Sprint hotspot, so was sitting here thinking the same thing... How is this working out for users of both networks.
Either way great question.

Re: T-mobile network users - Question for you!
I've been digging and some people are getting the occasional sprint band. I guess Tmo is slowwwly rolling things over on the towers. I wish I could find some sort of internal doc showing what towers are scheduled and when.

Yes. My phone and router/modems, all with TMO SIMs, get service on native TMO and ex-Sprint towers. If I want to force the routers to one or the other, I can do it with band masking. Where I am, the TMO towers have some subset of LTE bands 2, 4, 12, 66, 71. The ex-Sprint towers are bands 25, 26 and 41.

I can confirm this. I have Google Fi service and the local tower for me was Sprint before the takeover. It's now T-Mobile B25.MossySpringRoad wrote: Sun Feb 07, 2021 1:32 pm Yes.
