So it looks like Bluegrass Cellular is showing up as native Sprint coverage now:     Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes, you did not hear the news?  Mighty Canada invaded.  We were no match for the Mounties, and we lost Montana -- now known as South Alberta.   AJ

I drove through James Valley Telecom (JVT/NVC) coverage yesterday in Redfield and Aberdeen, SD. Couldn't find any LTE signals on Sprint bands. JVT does have a long 700MHz looking panel on the towers

Shit call Boomer and let Operation Canadian Bacon commence. But honestly, we should give them Montana and take BC in return. I rather see a connection with Alaska to serve us better.

The best indication of when LTE roaming will begin is sometime in 2015 as per VTel's website. 

 

 

Can I use my service outside the VTel Wireless coverage area?

Not today, but we expect to be able to offer roaming to our customers sometime in 2015. VTel has entered into an agreement with a major national carrier to provide data roaming service outside the range of our network.

I thought previously I had some roaming coverage north of salina but south of concordia that worked as native coverage. It seemed to switch back and forth between native-like roaming and limited roaming. Idk if it was going through tests or if it was my imagination. I just passed through the area.

For license protection purposes, there is an isolated Sprint site just outside of Concordia.  That was your native Sprint coverage.  It has CDMA1X 800 deployed, so if the site is a boomer, you could have Sprint signal much of the way south to Salina.

Nope, it was not that site. I am well aware of that site and it doesn't reach that far at all.

One RRPP carrier store manager told me he expects LTE in next 2 months.

Which carrier's store was that?

 

Also, and I apologize if this has been asked before, but in order for a phone to roam LTE will it be as simple as a PRL update or carrier update or both? I'm sure it will be phone specific.

You'll need a CCA-capable device, and for LTE, it's network dependent.  PRL is only for CDMA/EvDo roaming.

Yes, keep in mind that if/when LTE roaming goes live, no current iPhone supports band 12.  So, your iPhone will lack LTE roaming capability in many areas.

Got it. I seem to remember having this discussion with you before now.

Two things:

 

Is LTE roaming going to be band 12 only? I thought some carriers had band 4 as well.

 

What are the spots of roaming in the central valley in California? was that previous Cricket coverage that is no longer going to be part of it? It would be cool if there were some other to fill in the gaps in between cities in the Central Valley.

Old metropcs and cdma carriers that were bought out by Verizon. 

 

There's no other roaming partner other than Verizon in the central valley until you get way north into the Redding area where Sprint roams onto USCC.

Is Next-Tech and James Valley Wireless recent additions to Sprint's 3G coverage map?  Or have they been there a while?

 

James Valley has shown on the map as EVDO Roaming since some time last year. 

 

NexTech has been a Sprint partner for many years. Initially they were a pseudo-native partner, but fell to EVDO roaming a couple years ago.

When Sprint updates their maps for CCA coverage, anyone know if they'll make the CCA section(s) show as partner coverage or native? Only asking since it seems that the devices are treating it as native.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      Yes! That does keep it from wandering off Dish and most importantly, reconnecting immediately (at least where there is n70). Thanks!

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By Trip · Posted

      I have my Dish phone locked to NR-only.  That keeps it on Dish and only occasionally will it see T-Mobile NR SA for brief periods before going to no service. I also don't have mine band locked beyond that, except that I have some of the unused bands turned off just to try to reduce scan time.  Fortunately, my Dish phone is the one with the MediaTek chipset, so it has NR neighbor cells, and I can usually see n71, n70, n66, and sometimes n29 (market-dependent) through those regardless of which band it's connected to as primary. - Trip

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By dkyeager · Posted

      Excuse my rookie comments here, but after enabling *#73#, it seems that the rainbow sim V2? requires n70 (I turned it off along with n71 - was hoping to track n66) to be available else it switches to T-Mobile.  So this confirms my suspicion that you need to be close to a site to get on Dish.  Have no idea why they don't just use plmn. To test, I put it into a s21 ultra, rebooted twice, came up on T-Mobile (no n70 on s21).  Tried to manually register on 313340, but it did not connect (tried twice). I am on factory unlocked firmware but used a s22 hack to get *#73# working.  Tried what you were suggesting with a T-Mobile sim partially installed, but that was very unstable with Dish ( I think they had figured that one out).  [edit: and now I see Boost sent me a successful device swap notice which says I can now begin to use my new device.  Sigh.  Will try again later and wait for this message - too impatient.]

      Hopefully this indicates T-Mobile hasn't completely abandoned mmwave and/or small cells? But then again this is the loop, so take that as you will. Hopefully now that most macro activity is done (besides rural colo/builds), they will start working on small cells.
