I don’t use T-Mobile for regular cell service, so I can’t compare if voice would be any different reception.

Do what you want, I’m just saying at $50 bucks for a month, it’s worth a try before laying out $600 bucks plus $70 extra dollars per month for Starlink (and you have to have a unobstructed view of the sky. Trees and house blockage can be prohibitive.)

And if none of that will work, check out Peplink’s cellular routers. They are about the same as Starlink, and can do 5G from ANY provider who has coverage with options for up to 4 SIM cards…
Yes I got the 5G router nearly as soon as they released it. I used to get 100+ Mpbs. We must be in a really crappy spot or the system is just overloaded because I just ran the test on my company ipad, which I think is AT&T, and I only got 9-12 down/1 up.
