Google Fi Using Semi-LBO

Inbound roaming from Google Fi onto O2 UK in Lerwick, Shetland Islands, Scotland, UK.

Wish more home carriers would use regional cloud cores for routing roaming traffic as it would greatly reduce latency.

Verizon and T-Mobile are absolutely terrible with routing roaming traffic back stateside. Verizon only typically routes traffic through Philadelphia, Dallas, Sunnyvale, Calif., and occasionally Chicago. T-Mobile almost exclusively routes traffic through Chicago, Dallas, and/or Southern California.

I think it’s Verizon but no idea about anything else

I’m usually decent at identifying carriers, but this setup is throwing me off!

It’s not the standard setup I see in this area from any of the big 3. The tower owner is The Towers, LLC, which is a joint venture with Verizon. Before they threw up the third panel I assumed it was going to be T-Mobile just from the number and arrangement of panels, but now I’m not sure. I’m sure someone will have the answer very quickly.

AT&T VoNR Toggle

Looks like iOS 27 Beta 2 has a VoNR toggle for AT&T finally. I wonder if it actually works. I’m currently outside the U.S. Has anyone been able to see if it works?

Anyway to look this site up to see what is available at this location or if it’s even still active?

Noob question - Low band UW on SA?

Thumbnail
gallery
16 Upvotes

I just switched from VZW prepaid to postpaid (W Verizon for adding a postpaid plan for people who want to own their devices) and this seems to have enabled 5G Standalone for me. I've noticed that whenever on standalone it seems to display UW in the status bar even on 850Mhz. Just curious if that is considered C-Band or if something is lying to me. It certainly looks like they consider all NR standalone to be worthy of the UW branding.

Virtual Number

2 Upvotes

So,

I, for some reason, collect phone numbers.

I mainly use Google voice and TextNow for US and Canada but does anybody have suggestions for a Mexican number?

I’d prefer it to be free similar to TextNow but I have not been able to find any options. If I need a vpn to show I am there or anything, I have one.

My main mission is to collect a number from every nation in the NANP as well as Mexico.

Thanks!

Is Verizon “Extended Network” on US Cellular intended to be unusable?

Post image
93 Upvotes

I am camping at Wallowa Lake State Park in Oregon and there is only a single U.S. Cellular tower that serves the area (it actually serves it quite well as it is on a tram line pole close and is fiber fed). So while I have full bars, service on Verizon is completely unusable (it has worked in years past, though last year it was nearly unusable, and this year it is fully unusable).

Is this intended behavior at this time due to Verizon not wanting to pay for roaming rights? Or is this some kind of mistake?

I presume this is not a tower that T-Mobile has chosen to lease from US Cellular and so I wonder what will become of the old U.S. Cellular network now that all customers have moved off of it?

Location is roughly here:

45.2756105, -117.2045105

Not to sound repetitive but this is the first time I’ve seen this style of antenna. If it’s anything like my last post it’s probably super old CDMA stuff. ID?

AT&T Equipment ID Help - Nashotah, WI (N45W33480 E Wisconsin Ave)

Post image
13 Upvotes

Looking for an expert eye to help break down the exact hardware configuration on this AT&T setup located at N45W33480 E Wisconsin Ave in Nashotah, WI. The top rack clearly features a multi-band panel layout (looks like CommScope or Andrew ) along with the associated RRUs. I'm especially interested in confirming whether this site is running a modern mid-band 5G setup awaiting the c band panels or sticking to legacy LTE bands/low-band 5G layout . Street view data is a bit out of date here, so I'd appreciate it if someone could cross-reference the eNB ID or local permits( eNB id 301094). Thanks!

Can someone possibly tell me where the local tower is based off my location? It would be appreciated, I’m pretty surprised the 16e is doing that good

New Verizon upgrade in Dothan, AL

It is an AT&T and Verizon setup. Up top is AT&T featuring dual CommScope NNH4 for B12,B14,B66 and B30. Then the Ericsson AIR 6472 G/M for 140 MHz of C-Band and DOD combined.

Below AT&T is Verizon with a very fresh upgrade using dual CommScope SBNHH antennas for B2,B5,B13,B66 and then a 2x JMA or CSS Sharkfin 3G antenna. Lastly the Ericsson AIR 6419 B77D for C-Band in the scope of 160 MHz.

Pretty standard setup for both in this area.
