Our  Motorolas 5e plus  support 600- 2300MHz...few months ago, wife and I
went camping to Bear Trap Canyon near VLA.  We had  4G with almost full
bars in 600MHz and 35Mbps D and 23Mbp up...through trees and canyons..
I have a cell tower locator app I use to check for coverage when we go
hiking...let my children know where we are at with GPS coordinates as well.
T-Mobile ...I am happy
