I am currently on T-Mobile and can purchase a Sprint phone @ BB. Will I still be on TM network or will I be on Sprints. I will buy an unlocked phone payed in full. I am trying to get my head wrapped around this.
Got a tip for us?

Resolved Are Sprint and T-Mobile phones the same or are they on different networks?

I’ve done the same but with a Verizon iPhone at Best Buy.
Sorry, I don’t know the answer to the original question, but a Verizon model from Best Buy purchased at full price will work just fine on T-Mobile (if that’s an option).

If I have a 12 promax running with an old Sim card on 5G, if I swap to a new T-Mobile Sim it will also rely on sprints network?
It seems I can use the SIM card from the 8+ in the 12 as both are Nano cards. I found the 12 Pro Max at Nebraska Furniture Mart of all places. I guess time will tell if I need a updated SIM to both enable 5G and run on the combined T-Mobile/Sprint networks.
Looks like no - but Sprint customers have started getting a better network.
