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.

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.
Interesting. Do you remember what network it said it was on? Did you get alert about domestic roaming like a text message?
I did not try to stream video but music streaming and page load on LTE over there was OK. Definietly big improvement over last time I was there on Xfinity Mobile, Google Fi or AT&T. In Nepenthe not long time ago you wouldn't get reception and now you can! ;)
Nenpenthe is basically getting service from the one tower in Big Sur … at Post House, for both AT&T and Verizon. AT&T also has a site at Point Sur, and a 3G only site at Ragged Point.
