We had heard about this merger for some time, but Sprint/T-Mobile, the company that merged with Sprint, informed us that since we are now in the 5G era, Sprint phones that use the CDMA communication technology will no longer be available at the end of this year. Therefore, I received a notice from Sprint/T-Mobile asking me to exchange my SIM card for one that can be used with both CDMA and GSM.

I followed the notice and got a new SIM card, but this does not work. I bought a Galaxy S21 5G $ 700.00 from Samsung Direct as I did last time because I was tired of the Galaxy model which is much cheaper than my 4+ year old S series, although it shouldn't matter what year the cell phone is.

I originally had Sprint send me a new Sim card for free.
I replaced it and it works fine.
Just a little disappointed that the top of the screen changed from Sprint to T-mobile.

I can try contacting support ？.

Really, ？,


this new model is the Sprint version, but it is direct from the manufacturer and should work with both CDMA and GSM, but when I received it, it didn't work, in other words, I followed the on-screen instructions to move data from the old one to the new one, etc. In other words, I followed the instructions on the screen to move my data from the old one to the new one, and an error message appeared saying "Please go to your nearest Sprint/T-Mobile store to complete the process.

So today I went to my old Sprint store, but to my surprise, it was closed and there was a sign telling me to go to the T-Mobile store. I went to the T-Mobile store nearby and they set me up with all sorts of things, but they asked me to switch my account to T-Mobile. If you switch to T-Mobile, the monthly charge will be $70 instead of Sprint's $100. I thought it was not so different from Sprint, so I agreed.

I also asked what kind of service they have in Japan since I was going on a trip to Japan, and they told me the same thing as I heard from someone here on Vivi, that the data speed is slow 3G, but you can talk as much as you want. T-Mobile is a little better than Sprint because I had to pay $5/month only when I travel.
