Coverage at new home
I have had T-Mobile for 5 years and have T-Mobile internet. I bought a retirement home in Texas and plan on using it as a vacation home for a couple years then move there but there is no T-Mobile co...
Looks like coverage there is pretty thin. As far as getting T-Mobile to change their plans to improve the coverage for you, good luck with that. In my experience, they can be totally tone deaf when it comes to customers' requests. My advice is to make plans to port to a new carrier.
Thanks for the reply's all, as for the 5G vs 4G, my phone is a 4G but my wife's and sons are both new phones and 5G and neither had coverage either. I deal some with cell carriers through my job although I am no expert, but what I do know is adding a new tower is very expensive and time consuming but usually not needed. Usually, it is as simple as adding on to an existing tower. Most cell towers have multiple carriers on the tower and the owner of the tower sells space on their tower to other carriers, or trades space, i.e.. I will let you use my tower here if you let me use yours there. My cousin in Texas lives next door and they have great coverage through their carrier(although I never asked who it is through yet). Worst case is when I move in a few years I will have to cancel T-Mobile and move to whomever their carrier is but I do not want to do that. T-Mobile s the first carrier I have found I love since Nextel and when Nextel moved to Sprint it sucked after that.
