    I'm going to Colorado for Thanksgiving. I've recently switched to Sprint. I know at one time, there was a dead spot between Grand Island, Ne and well into Colorado. Is this still the case? I have the enhanced wifi calling shut off on my phone. Will I need to turn that on?

    Sprint? I-80?

    Yeah, you’ll need your wifi calling.

    The last time I had sprint was with the old Dual Band voice phones that could barely text. I don't recall too many dead spots. But you can probably, maybe pull up google, find the Sprint coverage celluar map of USA and see if the locations you have in mind are a problem or not.

    Today's phones offer wifi as a alternative or even the internet with a whatsapp sort of thing, or even going one step higher to satellite phone.

    Tried it years ago I lasted like 3 weeks that's it.
    I'm not switching until I come off the road
    .... and then I still won't be going back to Sprint.
