Guess they are finally valuing their service quality at zero dollars!! Having unfortunate experience of being a sprint customer, I wholeheartedly concur with the valuation of their service.

Hi! I have ten specific questions that only pertain to my individual circumstances. I epitomize laziness and my sense of entitlement is impervious to reason. Therefore it is the responsibility of anyone and everyone who reads this to find the answers to my questions.

You cant respond at all, or your responses do not send in the group but instead send separately to all group members?
Can't respond to all, sending to individual is working fine.

I could not find that capability in the App "Network Cell Info Lite" by Wilysis.

Is that the app you had in mind?

Or did you just mean use that App to see what bands are in use, then use device specific commands to actually lock them?

I already use device specific dialer commands on some models to do this but am interested if you are saying there is an app.
Open the network cell lite app clock on the three dots on the upper right to bring up menu, choose lock Bands.

Do you notice if you're roaming on Tmobile at all? That seems to be the big plus these days on Sprint it immediately roams to Tmobile if you get in Sprint dead spot. Assuming the phone has the Tmobile bands.

I do not notice any roaming in my neighborhood, Will a pixel 2 xl be able to roam? And if so which band is the tmobile band? Maybe I can force it on to the tmobile roaming band.. Just need to know which band is the roaming tmobile one

I do not have Lock Bands on the Menu.
The menu items are:

-System Network Settings-
-Buy Network Cell Info
-Remove Ads Only
-System Info Feeback

Are we talking about the same App?

What I have is Network Cell INFO by Wilysis

That is not the exact name you are using but I could not find one called "Network Cell Lite" exactly.

Thanks

4 or 2 are the usual TMobile roaming bands I see on my Sprint S8. Some get band 12.
Sprint native bands are 41, 26, 25 only in almost all areas.

I figured that might be the case.

It wants $50 a month in my case for that feature. I realize that there are "patched" versions out there on the web but I prefer not to take the risk of those personally......

Sounds to me like an mms setting issue.

Can you try to send a picture message MMS to one contact? Does it work
