T-Mobile and Sprint were the two different network service providers of the United States until they got merged on April 02, 2020, and then Sprint became a subsidiary of T-Mobile. And now plans of T-Mobile for shutting down Sprint in the US have been coming from the last couple of days.

However the CEO of T-Mobile, Mike Sievert said that the company will begin the shutdown process as soon as at the start of 2022, after transferring the considerable amount of customers of Sprint to its own network.

The officials of T-Mobile have said that the company will soon start the migration process and will try to complete it in such a way that will reduce the number of users to migrate to any other service providers.

In addition, the company is working to increase the number of new customers to shift to T-Mobile by building a cutting edge 5G network with Sprint’s 2.5GHz spectrum that will be capable to support a speed of up to 1GB/s.

Furthermore, Seivert said that T-Mobile is working to cover 100 million people with 5G in 2.5GHz by the end of 2020 and also expects to reach 200 million at the end of next year.
