Although T-Mobile is reputed as a GSM carrier, it still has a few CDMA networks out there in the wild. The company however has been very keen to shut down these networks as it pushes customers towards using its GSM (HSPA+ and LTE) bands.
A new report now suggests that the MetroPCS CDMA networks will officially shut down CDMA networks from June 21. This is T-Mobile’s prepaid subsidiary in the U.S. and was long expected to shut down its CDMA services. There are still plenty of users relying on these networks, so a lot of customers will have to switch over by then.
The carrier originally planned to close its CDMA networks by the second half of 2015 and this news will certainly speed up that process. The MetroPCS site mentions the following – “MetroPCS will be converting our legacy network to our new network, making the network bigger and faster in these markets,” leaving nothing to the imagination.
The company also says that devices that are running on the legacy networks are not guaranteed to have service after June 21. So if you fit the criteria, you might want to contemplate switching to the carrier’s GSM networks before that.
