does domestic roaming show partner carrier
I have T-Mobile prepaid. I am in Big Sur, CA where TMobile shows its area with a partner coverage. However I have not really noticed any behavior from native. The indicator indicates I am on "T-Mobil...
I typically don't get any notifications. I typically have cellmapper or Signal Check Pro running, and it will show the carrier at the top. This was similar passing through Gaviota State beach on US-101, and get 2G GPRS.. oddly enough,it also ends up on Verizon SoS often near there.
Unless something has recently changed, you should be roaming on AT&T in Big Sur.
The roaming map shows ‘Partner 3G/2G’, but I’m suspect on that, as 2G was decommed a long time back for AT&T, and 3g was last year.
Just as a side note… this past June, I did roam on AT&T (Emergency SoS) on 3G where T-Mobile has no service. I also have a work device that used 3G AT&T in the area.
I did go through that area +1 year ago, and roamed, but it was ~2G performance, and tethering to my work AT&T iPhone gave better performance.
