t mobile now

Honestly, I've had T-Mobile for 7 years. And just this year, I will have zero bars, or it'll say I have bars but when I shut off my phone 10-15 text messages come in, voicemails, missed calls. I use my phone primarily for work but I keep getting dropped calls, no service, and no help whatsoever. I thought it was my device so I upgraded, it's just even worst. This started happening to us earlier this year. T-Mobile has become trash and honestly I'm looking for a better cell company. One that has actual working towers where I live. 

which device did you migrate over? or did you upgrade into a new phone after the merger?

Was a Sprint customer from 1999 to present & in the entire time with Sprint I never had half the issues that I have constantly with Tmobile... my 1st real cell phone was a prepaid Trac Phone (in like 98 or something) & that was more reliable 

I can say that any of the former Sprint native sites that weren't fringe or that T-Mobile wants to keep are pretty much not accessible, or I get booted after about 5 seconds.  Ive tested this white B41 and B26.  B26 is an easy test, as T-Mobile doesn't use it. .

If you've migrated, unless its a Sprint Keep site, you probably won't connect.

You likely hit the nail on the head there.

im actually wondering if they shut down certain Sprint towers if they are close to a TMO tower already and basically overlapping each other to much...would make a bit of sense in many of your areas if you were a S customer before the merge..actually might make a bit of sense if you are a TMO customer and they did the reverse with it and kept the Sprint tower instead of the TMO tower..

cant exactly prove this but it would make sense with what many of you are seeing..well aside from the addition of millions of additional customers out the gate after the merger.

We tried T-Mobile roughly 10 years ago and took the phones back because the service didn't work at home.  Sprint always worked in my area until the merger.  Our Sprint/T-Mobile store employee said we're not the only ones having problems.  They said hopefully they'll have it figured out by the end of the year.  They have no problem collecting the bill every month.  About like my Doctor, they still charge even if they can't figure it out.  Maybe that should change to motivate results!

interesting. im also from the Sprint side and many of the reception holes i had with Sprint are now covered by the TMO side.

T-Mobile has updated the SIM card several times.  It was worse reception the first time, so we went back and they put Sprint SIM cards back in all our phones.  Then after some time that changed and wasn't working hardly, so we went back and they put T-Mobile SIM cards in and seems to degrade by the month.  We were able to make a call at the west window, now we can't make a solid call outside.

are you now running the new R15 sim card in your phone or are you still running the same one from Sprint?
