Interested to see if Sprint and Verizon will support this on their networks. The phone supports all the needed bands, it more a business decision on the CDMA carrier side to certify it.
The rumors from a few months ago said Sprint was onboard, we'll see if that panes out.
- jbg_ 9y agoWhat do you mean by "support"? Do they really get to tell you that you can't use a device even though it supports the standard their network uses? (I'm clueless of how things work with these carriers.)
- kalleboo 9y agoAFAIK, Sprint and Verizon still require you to register your phone's serial number to access the legacy CDMA network (or have they finally implemented RUIM?). A SIM card should be fine for their LTE network though.
- Shelnutt2 9y agoVerizon used RUIM, but it still has to be registered. Sprint is still using NV based authentication. Both carriers are more focused on getting to VoLTE than improving the CDMA process at this point.
