T-Mobile and being "SO MUCH better than when we had it last
Several years ago we had T-Mobile (probably a decade). And traveled. And found out it was absolutely useless anywhere in the Southwest, and most of the other places we went. As in, in 42 days in t...
Not that I've noticed. There are lots of people walking around with cell phones, but I have no idea what network they're on. I know the AT&T hotspot works FINE. Visible sucks, but Visible sucks most of the time 'cause it's Verizon's left-over garbage. Even so, at least Visible, on the OLD, cheapest possible ZTE Blade A7, will run the TV on SD, which the T-Mobile phone hotspot won't do.
I figure it's either the phone or T-Mobile. It's a Samsung Galaxy S22, and we've had Samsung devices several times in the past - they've all been more than adequate, so I suspect the problem ISN'T the phone. That leaves T-Mobile.
I figure it MIGHT be acceptable if the phone doesn’t work in the middle of Monument Valley or the middle of Death Valley, but jeez, I’m in the middle of urban sprawl in Fort Myers, with the most major highway on the Gulf side of Florida nearby, and this thing is a data paperweight.
Give or take 100 feet, the black dot is where the RV is. The huge, pink road about a quarter mile away is Hwy 75.
Anyhow, I'm just whining… It made sense to move the phones (except for the data phone) from Visible to T-Mobile for a couple reasons. I less than half believed the BS about the drastically improved coverage when we went to T-Mobile this time, so I'm disappointed, but not surprised that the marketing hype was BS.
