Why is there mysteriously no longer signal in my house after T-Moblile/Sprint Merger?

unless youre in a contract currently there shouldnt be any issues leaving TMO for V..heck usually carriers will have specials to get you to leave your current carrier to come to them..which they usually will cover some of the costs involved.

 

not that im trying to push you to V..but theres always options.

 

out of curiosity..did they upgrade your sim cards away from the original Sprint sim card to the R15 TMO sim card?

 

i also came over from Sprint..i can say i have noticed zero changes other than i now have 5G where i only had 4G with Sprint. all my former problem areas reception wise are still there..so no massive improvements on my end...but no bad areas i wasnt already used to either.

Yes ; they sent me over the new T-Mobile SIM cards and I got them switched over and activated , did the multiple restarts of both phones on the account and everything . 
 

the crazy part is, my mother has T-Mobile , she also had service out at my house ; worked great, almost as good as sprint did… well, at the same time , her T-Mobile phone stopped working out there and so did sprints , every "expert" I have talked to says they shut down all sprint towers and are upgrading tmobiles ….  In my opinion if you are going to buy a company , why wouldn't you buy their towers also, and just slap your name of them while upgrading them at same time ? Would have saved a lot of people this headache… instead they shut down all sprint towers ? It's crazy that  my mom went from having service , to having nothing at the same time also… I don't know a person in my area that has service now . I worked for sprint for a few years and I know there are ways to check the information on projects and ways to know the exact issue , but it seems there isn't one of the employees now that can tell me anything except they are "upgrading" towers….  I don't think it's a coincidence that where I live is the only one that hasn't been fixed yet… my luck isn't that bad… after seeing and reading so many others with this issue I have felt better about it but at the same time worry more because it shouldn't be this way at all….

and yes , you would think that you could just easily leave T-Mobile and go to V which you can. But T-Mobile is charging a early cancellation fee ; and I haven't been able to find a company that will pay off your current bill when you switch over to them like they used to … honestly if I have to get a home phone again so I don't miss out on emergency calls I can, I just had a pulmonary embolism a few weeks ago and my mom was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer a month ago also, so having communication is key … plus as mentioned, my job is fully ran through using data and my phone ….  I can set up WiFi out at my place sure , but it's not easy these days to pay for all of that
