Re: T-Mobile USA, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE bring back activations for Non-VoLTE phones
This is SO TRUE!!!!!!! Just a couple of days or about a weekago I started to try out and use my rare unlocked iOS 5 iPhone 4s, and even with me doing some tricks to stop greedy T-Mobile from disconnecting my 4s, my 4s will still continue to disconnect NO MATTER WHAT!!!!!! Sure, yesterday I had my unlocked rare iOS 5 4s work for 8+hours straight but that isn't good enough for me and I really don't like this the factthat I am not able to use the 4s for crying out loud. Like, FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!!!!!! It's so sad that my Nokia 3390 works even better than my wonderful rare iOS 5 4s. The iPhone 4s was my very first phone ever and even on the EDGE network I can use it for iMessaging no problem when it doesn't disconnect, and iMessaging is also data too and the fact that T-Mobile's 2G network is fast enough for light data is awesome! Not every country even with a reliable 2G GSM coverage have good EDGE or GPRSdata like us! This is why T-Mobile should halt on the shutdown of 2G for a long time and start improving their 2G network and keep installing new towers everywhere so I can have coverage with my Nokia 3390 or my iPhone 4s as well 🥲, otherwise this means I will have to move to Russia or Europe where I can enjoy reliable 2G coverage and not be forced to use a new phone always or I will have to file BIG complaintstoT-Mobile for setting a date on their 2G network. I have Mike Sievert's email and I have emailed him about it and I really hope he listens to us and not shut it down officially on April 2nd 2024 since especially April 2nd is my b-day too and it will be the worst present ever if T-Mobile officially shuts it down on that day!1Ver1like0ComentariosRe: T-Mobile USA, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE bring back activations for Non-VoLTE phones

Plus, I think T-Mobile would be the only one offering this right now, and that would make them super unique and likely bring in thousands of new customers (yes, literally thousands). The number of folks out there who are interested in dumb phones and older phones is growing. This isn't to compete with smart phones; smart phones are in a league of their own, and that's ok. But this is something unique that can't truly be replicated on a 4g LTE flip phone or modern candy bar device. This is different. I do seriously hope T-Mobile listens to us. Come on, T-Mobile! Please…? 🌷 EXACTLY!!!!!!!! T-Mobile will LITERALLY get thousands more customers if they start adding 64k support to SIM cards again. There are already 100s of thousands in the country accessing 2G network but there will be thousands more coming to T-Mobile that will access the 2G network including me, and once 2G support will be added again! I will then come and activate all my phones within a heartbeat! To be honest, while I am not against 5G, and I in fact wouldlike to try 5G by T-Mobile since I heard it's pretty good, but I hate to be forced to us it, and I would like be able to have the freedoms to use my old Nokia 3390s, 5190, and my Nokia 3395 too. Also, there is seriously nothing unique about these big button 4GLTE phones that young people like us and many elderly that currently don't have a mobile phone are forced to activate since ALL Non-VoLTE activations are blocked. I mean, these monochrome Nokia phones I have are all so unique to me, and that is extremely sad in my opinion that since 2G is a digital network and T-Mobile has yet switch it off for M2M and IoT, so why not we as new customers have the rights to activate and use these phones too? T-Mobile, PLEASE listen to us! You guys have potential customers and money if you guys are looking for that?! Edit: Also, PLEASE T-MOBILE, BRING BACK 32K SUPPORT AS WELL for the vintage early 1990s GSM phones to also be able to latch on the network!3Visto3likes0ComentariosRe: T-Mobile USA, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE bring back activations for Non-VoLTE phones
I will be suing so much if 2G really does get shut down because 2G needs to stay to keep existing and new customers happy (new customers too when allowing activations for Non-VoLTE will happen again).2Visto2likes0ComentariosRe: T-Mobile USA, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE bring back activations for Non-VoLTE phones
D_G wrote: Although there isn't a date for the shutdown, it's rumored to be on December 31, 2022. The activation block started happening in mid-2021 so why did you guys do this? The 2G network won't shut down on Dec 31 2022 because that was rumored and set by T-Mobile back in February of 2021, and they changed their minds on a date set and don't have one now. Dec 31 2022, that is waaaayyyyyy too early now and T-Mobile would have kept the Dec 31 2022 shutdown date in their network evolution page if that were to really happen. T-Mobile knows that so many M2M machines require the use of 2G especially since they shut down 3G and all of those 3G modules can downgrade to 2G. Some areas now receive better 2G service after the 3G sunset. T-Mobile PLEASE DO NOT SHUT DOWN 2G EVER!!!!! ALSO PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE ALLOW ACTIVATIONS FOR NON-VOLTE DEVICES AGAIN!!!!!!!!6Visto3likes0ComentariosT-Mobile USA, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE bring back activations for Non-VoLTE phones
T-Mobile, PLEASE BRING BACK ACTIVATIONS FOR NON-VOLTE DEVICES!!!!!!! There are many people in this country that want to use their older 2G- as well 3G capable phones along-side their LTE or 5G capable devices, and that is including me! I want to state that it is very bothersome when I want to use my 3 T-Mobile branded Nokia 3390s, or even my 5190, that they keep disconnecting with modern SIM cards I activate! It is very greedy of T-Mobile to do this to block new customers from using not just 2G devices, but also older LTE device such as: Galaxy S3 Galaxy Note 2 iPhone 5 iPhone 5c iPhone 5s Galaxy S4 Galaxy Note 3 and many more early Non-VoiceHD LTE devices that are kind of rendered useless because of this forced VoLTE that new SIM cards are programmed on. In many European countries like Germany where Deutsche Telekom is keeping 2G service active in it's full glory and explaining that 2G service will stay, and they even reassured people that 2G is staying for probably like ever, why don't we have that system here too where we can use whatever phone we want for forever? I mean, the 2G network will be around for a long time here so what's the issue to allow activations for non VoLTE devices? As I said earlier I have many Nokia 3390s (and I plan to get more) that I would like to use on the T-Mobile network and that will make me very happy and many others like me as well, and T-Mobile will make lots of money for new activations of 2G service too and I know they are looking for that. I will literally activate all of my 2G-3G phones in a heartbeat once they bring back Non-VoLTE activations! T-Mobile USA, the Nokia 3390s have only 64k SIM support and I BEG YOU GUYS TO PLEASE BRING BACK 64K SIM SUPPORT AS WELL!!!!! I WANT TO USE MY NOKIAS AND OTHER BRANDS FOR MANY MORE YEARS TO COME!!!!! T-Mobile, I know you are reading this, and I want to point out that since you guys have no set date for a 2G shutdown and won't for a really long time to come, I do want you guys to seriously invest thought into bringing back activations for old Non-VoiceOver LTE back, if you guys can also please favor these old phones a little more and explain how awesome they are too when you guys create that specific page for old phones and activations too! T-Mobile, Thanks for keeping 2G GSM service active for us BUT PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE JUST LISTEN TO US AND BRING BACK 64K SIM SUPPORT SO WE HAVE EASY ACTIVATIONS That way you guys will have many more customers come on the network if that's what you guys are looking for!!!!!!! ¡Gracias David!2KViews3likes29ComentariosRe: I live rural and I have pretty bad 4GLTE signal, using a Galaxy Note 9, and I wonder how I can contact T-Mobile to maybe improve their singal here
I have switched back to Verizon a week or so ago because in Naples (where I currently live) Verizon has the best coverage compared to AT&T and T-Mobile. I can't stand the spotty coverage from T-Mobile. I completely understand that I live in Florida so hurricanes have ruined some towers but the telecom can't fix them up which is a big shame. Also, Verizon doesn't force people to upgrade either like AT&T, Verizon doesn't state a shutdown for their 1x 2G CDMA network but they are removing 3G! Even Verizon's site has an article about 2G staying for machine-to-machine communication.4Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: I live rural and I have pretty bad 4GLTE signal, using a Galaxy Note 9, and I wonder how I can contact T-Mobile to maybe improve their singal here
Can I get a cell phone booster even though I am on RedPocket GSMT? I am still using T-Mobile's towers technically so why wouldn't I?3Visto0likes0ComentariosI live rural and I have pretty bad 4GLTE signal, using a Galaxy Note 9, and I wonder how I can contact T-Mobile to maybe improve their singal here
I live in southern Florida and I use RedPocket GSMT, and I noticed how T-Mobile has super spotty coverage where I live. I like T-Mobile because they support their older networks much longer than others HOWEVER, I strongly ask T-Mobile that I be able to call and text from my own house because it is nearly impossible to do so. I may catch 1 out of 5 bars of 4GLTE on my Galaxy phone if I am standing outside for long enough or it will catch a very faint 1 bar 4GLTE signal only for 10 seconds then back to cross sign signal on the top right corner! Not even do I get 2G "E" logo because 2G doesn't exist around my house. It is frustrating that if I want to call or text my relatives or friends I have to go a couple houses down to catch a slightly stronger 4GLTE signal even get "E" sometimes. I am not saying I need to have all 5 bars at my house and I will be happy with just 2 or 3 but if someone can PLEASE help me on how I can contact T-Mobile for "Coverage Support" or something so I can have stable signal on my street if even in the future I need better signal if I move to another area, I will know just what to do!193Visto0likes5Comentarios
