Black being basically 'No Service'. Thank you!!!!!!! Looks like t mobile has the best coverage… I guess it may also be my older phone and the low power mode thing3Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: Is the problem my old or t-mobile network?

Check your service at Kirkwood Community College / Iowa City Highschool. I suspect that all carriers are colocated in the city (sharing towers in many places), and being primarily midband vs lowband, Verizon/AT&T will end up with stronger service. Thank you!! I am on cell mapper. ¿Cuáles debería buscar? How can I tell how good the service is?3Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: Is the problem my old or t-mobile network?
Thank you for your answer!! I get alerts when I have 50% and 80% of my data left and I usually don't get either of those texts, meaning I am under that usage. With T-Mobile connect, all data turns off when you hit the limit, so I wouldn't be able to use it right now but I can. It says roaming is off. I have low power mode on a lot due to the low battery power of my older phone, could that be it?2Visto0likes0ComentariosIs the problem my old or t-mobile network?
Hello! I currently have an iPhone SE 2020 and use T-Mobile connect with 6 GB of data. I normally don't use all 6. Occasionally while driving or trying to use the internet, my internet stops completely. I may have full bars and LTE showing it is on, but I can't use my phone for anything including sending texts. I live in Iowa City, Iowa, which is a pretty populated area and should have 99.9% coverage at least according to the map. The biggest issue is when I am driving and need to use GPS. I have gotten lost in new areas at night because of this. Meanwhile my work phone (iPhone 12 with Verizon) is able to connect just fine as long as I have it on me. If I don't have it on me, I am unable to find directions, contact family or friends to tell them where I am, or use the internet to search for help. Is the problem my old phone or lack of coverage? If it's coverage, I am switching to Verizon despite T-Mobile claiming I have coverage everywhere including these dead spot areas. Please let me know what I can do. I am upgrading my phone to an iPhone 11 Pro soon and need to know if I need to switch to another Network.I have been very happy with T-Mobile otherwise, especially the low price for prepaid data. Thank you!!!Solved468Visto0likes10Comentarios
