Anyone using it? I'm wondering if it would be a step up or a step wrong as I try to find *anything* that is not fucking T-Mobile.
(Also going to try Mint Mobile again if I can, though there was no coverage in my house last year - I'm hoping they got better....)

Sorry, I use Consumer Cellular, which is cheap and reliable, but usually designed around the financial needs and data plans of the elderly and semi retired. (My mom loves it, so she signed the family up.)

Works great in New England, though.

SA

Please make certain when you use your phone that it isn't next to reinforced concrete, which is hell itself for any kind of cell phone reception.

The metal grid used to make it will ACTIVELY INTERFERE with all kinds of bluetooth, wifi, and radio reception.

Apparently, it's to do with t-mobile recently switching to 'low band' 600 MHz signal (which my Samsung Galaxy 8 doesn't pick up well?), and the 'line of sight' from the nearest tower being compromised by trees and things. *rolls eyes. it's Missouri, you dumbasses*

Every other person in the building, including the clients with cheap, free phones given them by social services, have a signal. I'm just special.

I do know that some areas of the building are better than others.

I'm going to have to update my phone, which pisses me off, but not being able to contact my daughter or make any phone call (or get any!) while at work is annoying as fuck.

Thanks!

I beg your pardon?
I did not, in fact, call my daughter, as I am not able to from work.
Which was a huge issue when she was having car trouble, and I could receive her texts but not send any.

SA still.

Try the above link to see if you have decent cell phone coverage. It may help you compare apples with oranges, so to speak.

Heee.
Where I am in MO, cell tower 'line of sight' is compromised *a lot* by hills, valleys, bluffs and trees.

Though every single person at my work, including the clients with inexpensive phones given to them by some social service or another, ALL have fucking service.

Gods I hate T-mobile. I wonder if Credo would work at all....

Just get a new phone. Maybe part of the problem is that you don’t have 4G updated enough.

I am resisting a new phone because a) money and b) i just fucking got this Samsung 8 like a year ago. I really hate the 'we've made changes so you have to get a new phone!!!' shite they pull.

And of course when I called them to see if they could troubleshoot, the FIRST THING out of the guy's mouth was 'update to this phone, only 500 bucks!!!'. Like - fuck you so hard.

NOT buying a phone from T-mobile, whatever I do. I'm looking at Google Pixel phones; unlocked ones are less than 300.
