(FOXNEWS)T-Mobile and Sprint are combining their networks after their merger agreement earlier this month.

T-Mobile customers in New York City and Philadelphia are set to be the first to get access to Sprint’s 2.5GHz mid-band 5G network in addition to the existing 600MHz low-band and mmWave high-band 5G networks that it has already launched.

In addition to the 5G expansion, T-Mobile said in a press release that it's opening up its LTE network to Sprint customers to use when roaming, which should open up “more than double the number of LTE sites” than Sprint’s current network.

“Connectivity is more important than ever today, and the challenging time we’re all facing shows just how critical 5G for All is,” Neville Ray, T-Mobile president of technology, said in a statement.
