We continue to track the wildfire situation unfolding in California and are closely monitoring our network to try to minimize any impacts on our network. At this stage, our network is holding up well and we have no impacted sites.
Customer & Community Support
T-Mobile knows that staying connected is very important in times like these, and we’d like to remind our customers that the majority of T-Mobile and Sprint customers are on plans offering unlimited talk, text and data.
- For T-Mobile, these are customers on Magenta, Essentials, Unlimited Age 55+, T-Mobile One, or Simple Choice plan, while Sprint customers on Sprint’s Unlimited, Unlimited Freedom and certain older plans are also covered.
- Los clientes de Metro by T-Mobile también tienen llamadas y textos ilimitados en todos los planes.
We are currently focused on supporting communities in affected areas who have been displaced and we are evaluating the ways we can assist our customers and the local community as soon as it is safe to do so.

As wildfires unfold across Northern California, we are keeping a close eye on any network impacts and our teams are ready to respond. Our thoughts are with impacted communities.
We are closely monitoring the number of wildfires in Northern California as the situation continues to develop. Our priority is keeping our employees safe while doing what we can to maintain cell service to affected areas.
At this stage, our network has seen very minimal impacts through direct fire threat or associated power outages. Our local teams are actively working to prepare and optimize our network to minimize customer interruptions.
Given the unpredictable nature of wildfires, we also encourage our customers to make a few preparations:
- Fully charge your phone and wireless devices, and have charging cables handy. You can also consider investing in a charging device, like an external battery that doesn't need a power outlet.
- Configura las llamadas Wi-Fi en tu teléfono. Para teléfonos Apple, ve a Configuración > Teléfono > Llamadas Wi-Fi y para teléfonos Android, ve a Configuración > Más configuraciones de conexión > Llamadas Wi-Fi.
For the latest information, please visit the Cal Fire website and Twitter pages:
