I’ve always had sprint. Mostly sucked anywhere. Recently got switched to T-Mobile SIM card and I have no complaints. 100x better than sprint for me. Can actually do stuff not on WiFi.

Verizon has recently thoroughly pissed me off. I'm thinking about switching to T Mobil. Way cheaper just not sure about the coverage.

Go AT&T if you want real coverage.

My Sprint One+ 7Pro 5G does not work with T-Mobile 5G. 4G? No problem.

We've had T-Mobile for a couple years or more now. Always great coverage around Birmingham and on the interstates when we travel. Haven't noticed a huge difference once Sprint was added, and we have older phones. My wife and I have the iPhone XR and we got our daughter an iPhone 8. So we'll probably keep these a while and eventually get 5G phones, and pass down one of our current ones to our daughter.

I switched over recently from the sprint to T mobile network and changed sim to 5 g. Maybe a little better coverage and speed. Not a huge difference that I can tell. I haven’t measured it in any way though.

Switched to tMobile earlier in the year. It is good and the 5 g is real good where you can get it---which is most places I go but out in the country it is spotty.

I have been with ATT since 1987 BellSouth Mobility days!! They didn't even try to keep me.

I switched to TM two months ago because I was running out of data on my discount carrier and sometimes had issues depending on traffic. When I saw the trade in program for new customers I made the jump. So far I’m happy. iPhone 12 max pro something or other on the Magenta plan. Only had one problem that Adam at the Metry Causeway store fixed for me. I’m pretty damn happy so far.l and I am a data guzzling beast.

Bump, anyone signed up for the T-Mobile home internet? Got a promo email about it, and it seems like they send you a 4G/LTE 5G device that uses their data and converts it to WiFi. It also has a couple of Ethernet ports, so you can run it to a switch, additional router, or access point. I like the speed and reliability of Spectrum, but curious about this.

T-Mobile took on a lot of additional customers with the merger. It really put a hurting on some areas. Unfortunately, it takes time to add additional coverage for those affected.

Like has been stated earlier. If you live near a major city, you're probably fine. If you were in a suburban area and coverage was borderline, it probably went to shite after the merger.

I'd try out their service if you can get out of it without a bunch of fees.

I've had their cell service for a couple of years now. I was more curious about this 5G home internet. My coverage is good now, but we just have older iPhones with LTE, not 5G.

Both use VoLTE. Customers can currently roam on the opposite network.

But as the merger chugs along, T-Mobile is slowly switching Sprint SIMs to T-Mobile SIMs since Sprint SIMs aren't compatible with certain T-Mobile features.

Wired > wireless every time.

Unless you have no ISPs in your area, I don't recommend it.
