How do I fix my slow data/roaming?
It seems like I've tried everything to try and fix this slow data issue but nothing is working. I've tried calling tech support. I've tried restarting the phone but no luck. I've tried resetting the network settings but still nothing. Even got a new SIM card. This is getting so exhausting and I can't afford to get a new phone. Can someone please give me a solution so I can get this freaking internet/data to work. I have a Google pixel 6a. I also live in Alaska.
Living in Alaska with T-Mobile … I’m not sure that will work.
T-Mobile has NO non-roaming service in the entire state.

I’d recommend contacting customer service - you may end up with cancelled service due to roaming
Data roaming will depend on the roaming partner and agreement. Eg. Tmobile roaming onto At&t in SoCal is worse than native 2g at times. US Cellular roaming is like decent 3g. (3-5Mbps). Ive heard Alaska roaming is good.
The one problem: 200MB/month limit

@formercanuck Tmobile is in the process of buying US Cellular so hopefully your coverage gets better.
I'm not sure that US Cellular will help much in Alaska. Looks like all of Alaska in roaming from USCellular's coverage map as well. I guess the question would be … does T-Mobile want to purchase an Alaskan carrier or build its own there.
