Watching people that can't comprehend that different cell providers work better in different areas of the country argue back and forth is amusing.

Most folks don't realize the FFC provides frequency licenses based on counties..so you x brand phone may work fine in county x but not work in county y....its probably a FCC license issue.

Att built out the west coast so it has a larger foorprint, ie better coverage, VzW built out the east coast.
Other carries like US cell go where the big guys don't build because the pop model doesn't work for them..US Cell works great in the mountains and on coast of NC on there towers, they have roaming agreement for the middle of the state with the big guys...so US cell customers will get throttled in say Raleigh, compared to ATT/VzW. When I traveled a lot I had a US Cell phone and a VzW phone.

You do know that’s the TMobile network and that company is fully owned by TMobile.

Except that T Mobile’s coverage map shows very little coverage for Montana, and with Mint I’ve had pretty good service out there. So something is different.

Can’t be, Mint is a T-Mobile company. The only difference is Mint only uses T-mobiles network while T-mobile has roaming contracts with other providers for their customers so T-mobile service would have more coverage.

In the end, the coverage map you see in MT with Mint is the T-mobile network.

I’ve had good coverage with Mint. Also, the dude was complaining about hassle and price raising with T Mobile. None of that nonsense with Mint. You can manage basically everything through the app. It’s easy and headache free.
