Re: Roaming Issue (US Cellular) in WV (1 phone fine 1 not)
While I get that, there are some situations like mine. It is physically impossible for me to buy a duo 2 from us cellular or t-mobile. Had there been I would have bought from them but there isn't. Why am I punished for no reason and nowhere on a coverage map does it say "excludes byod"5Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: Roaming Issue (US Cellular) in WV (1 phone fine 1 not)
Yep Tforce denied the existence of this issue. Sent me Sim cards yadda yadda. Nothing worked. I even went as far as selling my s22 ultra and bought a Surface duo 2 because A. I wanted one but B there is no carrier versions. I assumed that would have worked but still nothing. This issue is really old now since I live in rural areas and US cellular is a huge majority of who is around that t-mobile uses for roaming. Thanks everyone for trying to help.6Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: Roaming Issue (US Cellular) in WV (1 phone fine 1 not)
You would think T Mobile would have something to say about this, I have seen this issue come up across many forums. You are the first one to give an actual answer though. Thank you for it, at least now I know im just SOL.6Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: Roaming Issue (US Cellular) in WV (1 phone fine 1 not)
Ahh thank you for the answer. That sucks because my only choice would be to sell my phone and buy a new one (which 512GB s22 ultras are impossible to find through retailers). I guess I will just deal with it for now, kind of sucks they allow them to do that. Also the fact that US Cellular does that being that I am sure a majority of the $ they get is from roaming deals with T Mobile. I had stopped by US Cellular asking if they could whitelist my imei but they had no idea what I was talking about which I figured would not work.5Visto0likes0ComentariosRoaming Issue (US Cellular) in WV (1 phone fine 1 not)
Hello everyone I hope someone can help me get to the bottom of this (I have yet to find an answer anywhere on Reddit, Here, or with Tech Support). My wife and I have used Mint for 2 years and it was relatively good which is why we swapped over to T Mobile the other day. The town 2 miles down the street (our biggest "city") we have always never had service (we get 5 bars but emergency calls only) which we thought was weird since multiple towers are in town and T Mobile maps show signal there. We just got used to it and figured oh well we won't have signal when we go grocery shopping etc. Fast forward the other day, first time going to town since swapping to T Mobile. We both have BYOD , mine is from Samsung Unlocked S22 Ultra and hers is a used Galaxy Z Fold 3 5G. We went to town and she was blown away she had signal in the town which we never have. I did not, I only got the emergency calls only. We figured out it was because she is connecting to US Cellular, which is a HUGE T Mobile roaming partner for WV (they cover a huge majority of the rural areas). That said I tried to manually connect like I have tried on 4 other phones and 4 other sims over the last 2 years. Same error message "sim card not allowed". This makes no sense because T Mobile obviously uses US Cellular and my wife's phone who is on my account works amazingly. I have called everyone imaginable and have 2 sim cards coming to try (but I seriously doubt it works since I have had multiple phones and sims over the last 2 years). Does anyone know a way to get this fixed? It would be nice to have signal in town. Thank you ahead of time and I appreciate any help.796Visto0likes9Comentarios
