Tmobile Cell Towers
Forgive my ignorance but does Tmobile not have their own cell towers? In my town there's a supposed AT&T tower that is down and no one has mobile internet or cell service, including Tmobile users.
It's complicated. All carriers do have their own towers, but in certain places the only way you can bring a tower is to "lease" a spot on a tower within that county. Sometimes all carriers "lease" a tower owned by an independent company because of the spectrum needed which the carrier does not own. If those types go down often is all carriers who have trouble unless it's a certain spectrum going down.
There's other deals going own too between carriers. AT&T may have a deal to allow T-Mobile use that tower without roaming if AT&T could use certain towers on other counties or areas without roaming.
Users here will not be able to tell you exactly what’s going on in your area as these types of deals are under a NDA, and users here are not T-Mobile, and the few that are are not in a position to often even know these deals.
