Service Improvements in Hoodland Ore Area
I live 1 mile north of Welches Oregon on the north side of the Sandy River. Despite this areas constant growth and its popularity as a resort gateway to Mt. Hood, the lack of coverage here is alarmin...
Yup. similar to many rural areas, TMobile often uses the big macros to 'cover' large areas, and most often use terrain. Unlike At&t and Verizon, which both appear to have local towers in Welches, TMobile has decided it isn't worthy, and 'service exists'. I'd recommend their messaging for support, and push a request. This is a consumer forum.
Similarly, you can dial 611, but expect to go through low-level troubleshooting before you can escalate
Thanks for all the useful information! I feel I understand T-Mobile better now and their non-customer centric approach to this issue. I add that I also believe that they believe Starlink is going to be their savior in this matter. I'm not as certain that this plan, should it ever happen, will prove as useful as they think. And even if it does clear all the hurdles that lay ahead of it, it may be years before its fully viable. Until then I will be the squeaky wheel here and try to get their attention, for all it may be worth.
