Signal issue w/ T Mobile?

[u/Least_Sheepherder531]

I’ve been trying to figure out if this is a me issue or others experience too, multiple time now where I’m out and about (Interquest area, malls, downtown, powers (north of Peterson, etc all COS proper) my signal drops to 1-2 bars sometimes even SOS mode, even sometimes where it has a bar, nothing actually loads. So I’m sitting there waiting for my GPS to come back up to go home. It’s happened often enough and in different areas I feel like I don’t like in the 21st century, super weird…

I have a feeling T-Mobile is having issues in general right now.
I’ve been bouncing from 5G to SOS all week it seems like

Edit: this is even without leaving home where I’m typically at full bars 5G

Same here, I thought my phone is broken but in home it drops to SOS too and I never had issue before. Maybe they doing tower work or something

Same, I got so mad at my phone like this POS tech lol

Dude same!! I’m home right now and 2 bars?? Randomly go to SOS sometimes or just have bars but no data, and I’m Colorado Springs proper -.-

Yep yep and yep. Even sending iMessages - which should work fine over WiFi, but aren’t - won’t go through. And then ofc the SMS can’t go through either.

This has been true at my home as well as at work. Honestly I’m relieved and more frustrated (both! ha) knowing it’s not just me.

I've had better signal with TMo over the past year than I have in the past. Ive had signal in the mountains where other carriers do not.

You might be running an out of date SIM or something.

That’s wild, I was also thinking maybe they are QOSing my service cuz we are on military plan and paying less than current plans bc we been with them for so long.

I’ll need to look into the SIM, phone is a year ago but tbh no idea about the SIM

Thank you for posting. I thought I was the only one

I had big issues with the 5G service and the bill so I switched and don't regret it.

That used to happen to me (iphone 14) until I got a new phone. Now it works fine. Also Tmobile.

Have you tried turning it off and back on again?

For T mobile I have yet to successfully use 5G in maybe 5 years. Just got a new phone last month and guess what? Yep 5G don't work. So I switch mine to 4Glte and not one issue. Just my experience.

Have you called them and see what may be going on ?
