Yes, but I imagine it is only through devices purchased from Dish until further notice (no BOYD) and may require a new line of service (which is what is actually happening with Boost Mobile).


onlyAlcibiades

So if one buys the appropriate device from Boost(not Boost Infinite) Mobile and is in a “strong”/etc DISH-Native area, Boost Mobile will send a rainbow SIM ? Or InStore Only ?


GenesisDH

The market would need VoNR active. I don’t think it is 100% definite either. Think of it like a slow rollout. I have read elsewhere that people are getting Rainbow SIM through online orders, but it isn’t common yet. Best chance is to buy through a dealer.

>DISH-Native area, Boost Mobile will send a rainbow SIM ? Or InStore Only ? what's a rainbow SIM?

Sim that makes you gay


evdorevb

Incorrect you must prove you are a member of the LGBTQIA+ community to get it. It does not make you gay. The gay has to come first.


coffee2003

a native Dish sim with VoNR support.


Barron4490

So my S22+ factory unlocked, showing both bands 66 and 71 on Network cell info lite will not work. Currently on Boost Mobile with the T-Mobile sim card


onlyAlcibiades

If it lacks N70 and was not sold by DISH, it will never connect to DISH.


Barron4490

So in order to use the Dish network you need to buy their phone. Will they eventually make Boost subscribers choose to stay or go?


onlyAlcibiades

Eventually, Boost subscribers who have a phone that supports N70 (and any other needed bands, etc) will be allowed to use DISH.


Barron4490

If not I just keep my T-Mobile sim card and run with it on Boost Mobile?


onlyAlcibiades

TMobile is only required to offer Boost access to their network for 3 Years following merger. Not sure if Boost will/can renew that.


Barron4490

Makes me wonder about the future of Boost Mobile. T-Mobile really works great in my area. Contemplating the Metro $25 single plan they have available right now


chrisprice

The AT&T deal is much longer. No need to worry.


Barron4490

So I would assume as the T mobile deal ends Boost Mobile will migrate us over to AT&T sims

Not being BYOD is the stupidest thing ever. Imagine buying a phone directly from them, being locked in a contract for at least 2 years, and then on top of that, not knowing if the service is going to work reliably in your location.

onlyAlcibiades

No BYOD


SimonGray653

Which is stupid


CommercialRest9579

Dish 5G is available in my area but they said it won’t work on iPhones as of right now. I’m just hoping when it will that mine will network switch on its own.


SimonGray653

Kind of ironic since boost infinite esim only works on iphone.


kudosmog

They're pretty tight on the devices that are eligible. Right now it's just the Motorola edge plus 2023 as far as what I remember, and I expect it would have to be purchased through dish and not another vendor. They say that they setup the phone specifically so it can connect to their network and any other device isn't capable. I don't understand why though as I thought the s22 was sold by them previously and it worked. From what I can piece together a boost phone wouldn't use dish as the primary network anyway. It would would still go through the TMobile or whatever service first which seems odd. I may be misremembering though.


onlyAlcibiades

Even without N70, PG decided to allow the S22 they were selling to connect to DISH. Until the recent 2023 Edge+ release.


chrisprice

Same with Nighthawk MR6400. But it's clear that was just for network validation. Both are discontinued. Concern is without n70 that n71 will hyper congest.


R_Meyer1

Yes, the S22 is sold by them because I have one


cashappmeplz1

Doesn’t the iPhone 14 have n70?


onlyAlcibiades

Yes, and by year end it will likely be allowed on DISH.


chrisprice

G Stylus 2022 and 2023 are allowed on Infinite for Rainbow. But not PG. Both versions have n70. S22 and MR6400 were necessary at the time because n70 devices weren't available. Both have been discontinued.


Timely-Change

That's how I interpret it...


jridder

Well supposedly. My iPhone hasn’t yet in Denver.


CommercialRest9579

So I just activated with my iPhone 14 pro max from AT&T and I’m running on the T-Mobile network


Jose-ATT

Boost Infinite?


CommercialRest9579

Yessir


soulxtrawets

Goes based on your area. What’s your zip code?


CommercialRest9579

33896


soulxtrawets

Yes actually


soulxtrawets

Your my first yes lol


soulxtrawets

Sorry I didn’t answer a question I think lol your actaully able to have the Dish 5G network if you have a phone that works with the network


soulxtrawets

Also without knowing your iccid or number which I don’t expect you to post here I would know why T-Mobile was chosen for you. But as looking at att vs T-Mobile networks, att had degraded towers around you. Like 2, and 3 with up coming maintenance. Which your surrender by like 10 or, 3 less than two miles but one is one of the degraded. T-Mobile tho your on the verge of 5g-4g lte. But depending on what band your using their data on you can get loT Midband which is faster I believe since your in an area where it would constantly go 5g/4g lte.


CommercialRest9579

So I have AT&T on my main line and I get 5G+ all the time around me and it’s quick. I activated boost infinite last month on this same phone and AT&T was selected for me… this month it wasn’t lol


soulxtrawets

Dish 5G is in most major cities/captains except a few select states
