Re: Alaska Coverage
Thanks SteveH3032 for the info. Well, 5GB of roaming data is certainly better than 200MB of 2G, which is what T-Mobile says is its "standard" data allowance when roaming domestically. Are you getting 5G or 5G UC (or whatever GCI's equivalent of 5G UCis)?27Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: Alaska Coverage
Any updates for 2023 on roaming data in Alaska? Several points: Based on a press release in June 2020 (see its headline at the bottom here), T-Mobile and GCI inked a new partnership that allows T-Mobile customers to roam in Alaska on GCI's 5G network (as opposed to 2G). If you Google "T-Mobile Alaska GCI", the first thing in the list should be this press release, which is on T-Mobile's website. For domestic roaming, T-Mobile says it has two types of roaming partners: standard and preferred. Is GCI a preferred partner? Based on the press release noted in #1 above, surely GCI must be preferred? Does this mean that domestic roaming on GCI in Alaska allows for more than 200MB of data? Surely so if this data is 5G? Has anyone had any recent experience on GCI in Alaska, specifically in Anchorage? Did you hit a data cap? Did you get 5G? Customer Service at T-Mobile has no clue about the roaming situation in Alaska. All they can do is quote the standard domestic roaming policy: 200MG cap per cycle, and 2G speeds. They have no clue about standard vs. preferred domestic roaming partners. If T-Mobile has made a strategic decision to notbuild out its native network in Alaska but instead rely on a roaming partnership with GCI (which does have the best coverage in Alaska), then surely T-Mobile will not apply its silly domestic data caps there of 200MG at 2G. ¡T-Mobile es el primero en 5G en los 50 estados!
