The move is one in a long list of issues that need sorting out in the wake of April&rsquo;s $26.5 billion merger. And like a number of other moves, it&rsquo;s set to leave some customers in the lurch.<br \/>\nThe end of Sprint&rsquo;s 2.5 GHz 5G comes as T-Mobile opts to focus on its own network. T-Mobile already started the process in New York City, a few weeks after the merger and has since completed it in a handful of other cities, including Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston, Kansas City, Los Angeles, Phoenix and Washington, D.C.<br \/>\nAs CNET notes, while most of the Sprint 5G handsets won&rsquo;t be able to make the transition, Samsung Galaxy S20 5G users are in the clear here. For everyone else, T-Mobile is offering up credits on leases for new 5G handsets.<\/p>\n<p>T-Mobile officially completes merger with Sprint, CEO John Legere steps down ahead of schedule<\/p>\n<p>T-Mobile told TechCrunch in a statement, &ldquo;We are working to quickly re-deploy, optimize and test the 2.5GHz spectrum before lighting it up on the T-Mobile network.&rdquo;<br \/>\nAlong with the sale of Boost, 5G was a big selling point for T-Mobile&rsquo;s Sprint acquisition. The carriers argued that the deal was necessary to keep them competitive with first and second place carriers AT&amp;T and Verizon when it came to the next-generation wireless technology.<br \/>\nAt the time FCC chairman Ajit Pai agreed stating, &ldquo;This transaction will provide New T-Mobile with the scale and spectrum resources necessary to deploy a robust 5G network across the United States.&rdquo;<br \/>\nEarlier this week, OpenSignal awarded T-Mobile the top spot in availability, noting, &ldquo;In the U.S., T-Mobile won the 5G Availability award by a large margin with Sprint and AT&amp;T trailing with scores of 14.1% and 10.3%, respectively.&rdquo;<br \/>\nUpdate: The language of the post has been updated to reflect the impact on specific unsupported devices, rather than user base figures.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/guce.techcrunch.com\/consent?brandType=nonEU&#038;done=https%3A%2F%2Ftechcrunch%2Ecom%2F2020%2F07%2F02%2Fsprint%2D5g%2Dis%2Dno%2Dmore%2Das%2Dt%2Dmobile%2Dfocuses%2Don%2Dits%2Down%2Dnetwork%2F&#038;gcrumb=cFooDsw=\">Sprint 5G is no more, as T-Mobile focuses on its own network<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A day after formally completing the sale of Boost, Virgin and other Sprint prepaid networks to Dish, T-Mobile is pulling the plug on Sprint 5G.
