Not yet. New T-Mobile will continue basic CDMA voice service even on older phones until December 31, 2021, according to the last I've heard. But data performance on some older Sprint phones will decline noticeably as T-Mobile turns Sprint's Band 41 LTE network over to 5G, and the company tries to shift users over to T-Mobile's 4G frequency bands. A...
T-Mobile has committed to maintaining the service plans of anyone who was a subscriber to either service as of February 2019 for the next three years as of April 1, 2020 (five years, in California).

It's not entirely clear what will h...
Boost is technically being sold to Dish, but it will be running on the New T-Mobile network and from a technology perspective, everything I'm saying about Sprint applies to Boost as well. More Boost users than Sprint users may be on cheaper, older phones, though, so it's even more important that you check the frequencies on your phone to make sure ...
I've been following US and Canadian networks for a decade, which has been a great chance to compare a nation with four strong carriers to a very similar nation with three strong ones and a few weaker ones. Canadian networks and coverage are generally better than the experience in the US—the networks are faster and more solid. They're also more expe...
