T-Mobile and Sprint merger has been one of the most significant telecom integration of all times. As the integration continues, T-Mobile has posed a complete shut down on the Sprints 2.5GHz 5G network for the while it relaunches the service as a T-Mobile network nationwide.
Sprint 5G Network Closed, T-Mobile to Relaunch Service
T-Mobile began the shutdown process at the beginning of this year after it initiated the Sprint’s 5G network into its network. T Mobile closed Sprint’s 5G in the New York area and then introduced it with the T-Mobiles 5G Network.
Reactivation of 5G Services As T-Mobile Spectrum
On Tuesday, the telecom giant announced the reactivation of Sprint network in the areas of Los Angeles, Houston, and Chicago as the T-Mobile spectrum. The Sprint 5G network in Kansas, Phoenix, Washington, Atlanta, is yet to be relaunched as a T-Mobile offering.

Official Statement by T-Mobile Spokesperson
“We are working to quickly re-deploy, optimize and test the 2.5 GHz spectrum before lighting it up on the T-Mobile network. In the meantime, legacy Sprint customers with compatible devices can enjoy T-Mobile’s nationwide 5G network.”
Old Phones Not Compatible With New Network
As T-Mobile completely shuts down Sprint’s 5G network, some of the older Sprint 5G mobile phones like One plus Pro 5G, LGV50, and ThinQ 5G or the older Qualcomm X50 modems would not be functional with the latest T-Mobile network. Seemingly, T-Mobile is going to provide a substitute phone to the users with the Sprint 5G account.
QualcommX55 modem or new phones with Sprint 5G network like Galaxy s29 5G etc. would be compatible with the latest T mobile 5G spectrum network.
Balance of Network Coverage and Speed Through Integration
T-Mobile and Sprint Integration is a pivotal key point of the T Mobile 5G strategy. It intends to provide the low-band 600MHz spectrum to facilitate 5G coverage at higher speed within the low range midland and the short-range mm-Wave networks for excellent coverage and speed.
