T-Mobile Users - how's JAX coverage?

[strider]

Not sure what is new here.  The phones have the option of using wi fi - if you were on a limited plan, the minutes still count. The issue I have had is that if at home on a call using wi fi and I need to leave, I loose the call by the time I back out and hit the street.  I now just leave that particular feature off.  I have unlimited so what is the difference?  It just seems to be a plus for T-Mobile rather than the customer.

Speaking from experience I'm the only one of my buddies (At&t and Verizon) who can make a call within the Jags stadium due to the wifi. They can make calls within the concourses, but not the bowl.

Also the new wifi feature uses ANY router... no sign in needed. This frees up spectrum for T-mobile and therefore gives other customers better data speeds

I still can't make a phone call in my dead zone house...

If you have an iPhone, do this to enable wifi calls.

"Go to Settings --> Phone --> Wi-Fi Calls and be sure you have turned on wifi calling and updated your e911 address.

You can tell if wifi calling is active because on the top left of the screen next to the wifi logo it will have the words "Wi-Fi" "


I made one call, worked perfectly.  Then the second call was not able to go through. The third call connected. Sound quality is good.

I'm not going to pretend it's ATT/Verizon quality, but I'm pleasantly surprised at the quality of TM so far. There are a few dead spots (my mom's house in San Marco!) - and I've experienced a drop call or two - but, overall, not bad!!

WiFi calling is a huge plus - especially when abroad!

Again, the whole thing that sold me was the free text/data (only 2G) in over 120 countries. How can you beat that?

I used to have a T-Mobile phone at my old job, their coverage was terrible, and even worse when you leave town.

We just made a big loop of driving to Norwalk Ohio, then Detroit, then to Richmond VA and then here back to Jacksonville.  Sheclown has a Verizon I Phone 4 or 5? and I have my ancient 3G T-Mobile.  We had and lost service pretty much at the same spots and those spots get fewer every time we make the trip (a couple of times a year).  I have noticed a loss of sound quality lately with a few calls being very fuzzy but it could also be the fact that my phone has bounced off the ground more times than I can count.
