We'll see, Been hoping Apple would, Google doing so would be an interesting shakeup.

Has there been any informed speculation (rumors) on how Google would operate using T-Mobile (GSM) and Sprint (CDMA) networks? Would they come out with phones that could use both networks or would you have to pick one or the other?

Not that I have seen, no.

I did a little research and apparently there are already dual sim android phones with one sim for GSM and the other for CDMA. It occurs to me Google Voice would be the perfect companion for such a phone.

Since each sim would have its own phone number Google Voice could be used to give the end user a single number that could ring either sim. Guess we will see.

I'll believe it when I see it. And when they have nationwide serve to compete with AT&T and verizon. There's a reason Sprint and t-mobile are struggling.

Apple is denying it now.

Sam Posten · Aug 4, 2015

Yeah, smart. If its true they arent going to become one it saves face with carriers. If they DO have plans to become one well Apple never pulled 180s before amirite? =0
