About T-Mobile Cellular Coverage
T-Mobile is the 4th largest US network, with a little over 33 million subscribers. It operates a GSM network on the 1900MHz band and as of 2010 can reach a potential 293 customers nationwide. It has an advanced 3G network with speeds of up to 21Mbit/s, which their marketers feel justifies them calling it a 4G technology. It can potentially cover 200 million with this service. Although T-Mobile's network footprint is smaller than Verizon/AT&T's it gets good coverage reviews from city users around the country. As with all networks check our site to see who has the best coverage in the places you need.
What you can do about poor T-Mobile signal
You have a few options available to your to improve your T-Mobile signal:
- Get a Wi-Fi Calling phone. Unlike other carriers T-Mobile has no intention of launching a femtocell. Instead they offer a variety of phones which allow you to make calls via WiFi. This means you can make a call anywhere you can connect to a WiFi network.
- Try a cellular repeater. A cellular repeater takes existing signal, amplifies it and rebroadcasts it around your home or office. They are harder to setup than a femtocell, but will cover all US networks.
- Change networks. T-Mobile customers at the end of their contact can only take their phones to other GSM networks, which in the US means AT&T. With a AT&T/T-Mobile merger likely to happen at the end of 2011, this means customers will have nowhere to go without getting a new phone.
