I tried. They said they don't do that anymore. They were pretty honest with their coverage maps in the local area. They told me my house is in a known dead zone. Here's hoping their coverage improves, I'd love to switch over.

The realtor told you that when you moved to Barstow.:D

I've had tmobile for the last 10 years. Works great overseas. Plus one, extra 10 bucks. Data and gogo. Plus one international, 25 bucks. All the bells and whistles. Guys with side hustle need it. But that's 3 beers.

I made the switch from ATT 6 days ago and I’ll be switching back to ATT when I get home from my current trip. In the first 2 days of having T-Mobile I was in areas where I didn’t get service. Never had an issue with AT&T. Then yesterday I missed a call from crew scheduling. Phone never rang. About 5 minutes after they called I noticed I had a voicemail. Can’t have that happening so I’m switching back. I wanted to like T-Mobile, but bottom line is their coverage isn’t as good as AT&T. I guess that’s why they have all the extra perks.

Depends where you live and where you spend most of your time. Sorry it didn’t work out for you.

You get all of that for the base tmo one price if you use delta perks

Don't think so.

It does depend a lot on where you live. Out west T-Mobile has very spotty coverage outside of larger cities or along interstates. I dropped them after a road trip through Montana, Wyoming and S.D. I learned the hard way my plan only had 10MB of roaming data per month in those states. 10MB! That was gone after day one of a ten-day trip.

That was a few years ago, so things may have changed.

Barstow? Upstate Washington is too far of a commute. But it looks like a nice, little, sleepy town on the Kettle River. Terrible cell coverage! :D

We have T-Mobile. My wife's office was in a T-Mobile dead zone. They provided a coverage device at no charge that extended coverage in her office.
