Excellent Phone and Data Coverage with T Mobile

It is a far cry from 2008 when I last used T Mobile for my communications.
I have been on the road now in the US since May and have been able to make phone calls every day, no matter where I have been camping.

My journey started in Los Angeles, Death Valley, Ely (Hwy 50) The Grand Tetons, Yellowstone etc etc .
The coverage has been excellent, and most days I have high speed data connection.

No I do not work for or represent T Mobile. I am just a tourist from Australia, who likes to ring back home every day and emails, plan routes with Google Maps etc.
  • I had T Mobile for a few months with my new Sony Xperia Z Ultra smartphone that only works on T Mobile or AT&T but I had no service most of the time at my home and switched to AT&T. Both were on $30 a month pre-paid plans with no contract but T Mobile had unlimited data and text and only 100 minutes voice vs AT&T that has unlimited voice and text but data is wi-fi only.
  • We had both t mobile and AT&T for nearly 2 months both on identical model iPhones. We had the t mobile and got AT&T to compare and it was MUCH better on our trip east from Houston to Florida and north to North Carolina where we dumped t mobile and went both phones AT&T. Cheaper too
  • T Mobile is great for data in the eastern states but not so great in many areas in the western states. Most of the parks we visited in Utah this spring had signal , but not T Mobile , usually AT&T and/or Verizon.
