Re: Roaming Violation
Had T-Mobile for a little over a year, but got the warning messages right away (spending more than 50% of the time roaming)….. which really annoyed me since I had roaming turned off on my iPhone, basically had to keep my phone on airplane mode 100% of the time. really wasn't data usage for me. (GCI was the T-Mobile partner I would roam with up there). GCI charges T-Mobile for my roaming and even if I would only occasionally roam (example : maybe a hour total over a 3 week span) GCI would count it as 3 weeks worth of roaming to my understanding….rough estimate.5Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: Roaming Violation
I work in Alaska half the year and T-Mobile was going to cancel my line for violation of TOS, I bundled my 2 phones and in home wifi thru X-finity/comcast……ended up being way cheaper than t-Mobile,Verizon, orAt&T. Best part is that X-Finity uses Verizon Towers (Partners) and I get great service….. Even literally on the very top of the planet (i work in the Arctic Oil Fields)5Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: Roaming Violation
I am also receiving this violation warning message. I understand that it is due to roaming off the GCI partner network towers. I just recently moved to T-Mobile after dealing with horrendous Customer Service from AT&T. Even the I now understand the issue, I still have some concerns. I work a rotational job in Prudhoe Bay Alaska (work 3 weeks in Alaska and then 3 weeks off in Utah). So before I switched to T-Mobile, I checked the coverage map on T-Mobile's website. The coverage map clearly highlights Prudhoe Bay in pink (Falsely claiming that T-Mobile provides service). If you zoom in on the map, the color changes from pink to pink with blue diagonal lines (denoting this as a partner network), and nowhere on that page will you see that this is a data roaming area. That is a blatant false advertisement. Customer service has been very helpful/kind/courteous (very appreciative of that). Of course the suggestion is to turn Data Roaming off. The problem with that is my Data Roaming on my Iphone 12 has never been on. It automatically connects to GCI anyway. Airplane mode or just turning off cellular service should do the trick…..we will see.6Visto0likes0Comentarios
