For all most intents and purposes, the Sprint brand was buried by T-Mobile more than a year and a half ago. But the second-largest US wireless service provider still gave users of the industry’s former number four player plenty of additional time, as well as a bunch of sweet incentives, to migrate to the “Un-carrier’s” nation-leading 5G network.
Basically, it’s possible now that some users will be allowed to make and receive voice calls, send text messages, and surf the web (albeit very slowly) on said phones for a few days, weeks, or up to two months after tomorrow.
At the same time, if the 3G network retirement is set to happen gradually, you could be among the first few groups of customers blocked from obtaining said signal early on in the shutdown operation. Whenever that will be the case, expect T-Mobile’s customer support reps to contact you (once again) and try to help you with your migration.
