does t-mobile use sprint bands B25/B26/B41?
The T-Mobile network does not have bands 25, 26, and 41. However, Sprint does. Considering tmobille's merging with sprint, does TMobile support those bands?
In general, TMobile has taken on Sprint band 41, and in some areas B25 (effectively B2 ). B41 / n41 is quite important to TMobile. Areas with "ultra capacity 5g" are n41, and possibly B41 depending on deployment
Cellmapper.net (web/Android) has filters that can show what bands are in use by each carrier. Signal check along with other apps and phone diagnostic can show what you're actually using
I've been able and am still able to use Sprint band 25 on my T-Mobile sim/plan.
I'm a bit confused, since I've read that T-Mobile has retired Sprint LTE (3rd quarter 2022)... but it's still up and running here.
Maybe that just means a sprint sim card won't work anymore but a T-Mobile sim will still access the sprint bands. IDK.
I'm kind of hoping that T-Mobile will install their extended range LTE and 5G band (b71) on the Sprint tower which might improve my service here but am again confused since I've read T-Mobile is decommissioning Sprint towers... but some sprint towers near here are still operational and operating with Sprint bands.
