Ting, an MVNO that runs on Sprint’s network, says it is the first to offer devices compatible with Sprint’s Spark service. Sprint Spark relies on tri-band LTE devices to boost mobile broadband speeds on its data network.
Spark is only available in five markets right now, but will expand to about 100 by the end of 2014. According to Ting, its variants of the Samsung Galaxy Mega, Galaxy S4 Mini, and LG G2 are all able to interact with Spark. Ting CEO Scott Allen told Fierce Wireless that Sprint’s willingness to allow its MVNO customers to offer Spark demonstrates “Sprint’s commitment to wholesale and their good faith as partner.”
Other providers that use Sprint’s network, such as Boost Mobile and Virgin Mobile, have yet to claim that they offer Spark-compatible devices.
