Re: [MBZ] Cell phone update
They have a deal where I can trade it one of my old iPhones and get an 8, which works on all their bands and is free. Either that or I can trade in my current 7 and get $500 off a iPhone 11. Have not decided which way to go yet.

Re: [MBZ] Cell phone update
Yes, different phones are capable of different bands, so you need to compare the carriers bands to your phones capabilities. That's one reason I moved to this Moto G5+, it works on all the T-Mobile bands. I also am able to surf internet while talking on phone, on T-Mobile. I think you'll be happy, if you get a new phone.

[MBZ] Cell phone update
I went ahead and moved my number over to T Mobil Friday to try it out before moving the other 3 lines over. On the drive back from Arkansas it worked pretty good. I only ran into 1 dead zone with lasted for maybe a mile. Then ran into 2 more closer to home with are also about the same as we had with US Cellular. Upon further research, T Mobile spent billions buying up 600mhz and have been building those out. Research shows this provides better coverage especially in the rural gap areas. I found a site that you can select a carrier and it will show you on a map where their towers are and you can filter down to which band you want etc. This showed me they had a 600mhz tower near the dead zone spot I ran thru the day before. The only thing is my iphone 7 will not pick up on these towers. Yesterday I decided to go ahead and move the wife line over and went ahead and got her the new Samsung Note 10+ 5g phone. In the process they had a deal going where we could add a 3rd line free and the phone was free, so we went ahead and moved the 3rd line over at the same time. So this phone with wife got is 1 of 2 5g phones they have available and it shows 5g at the top. I will say when we tested it after leaving the store in Tulsa the speed showed over 100MBs. On the other hand, my phone on LTE showed about 30MBs when testing at the same time. So, it seems maybe 5g is available in town. I am thinking 5G is still pretty limited. On the drive home, the areas where I lost signal as before, the wife did not with her new phone. So picking up these new frequencies must actually make a difference. I would show no service on my phone and hers would pickup about 3 bars or so. Even at our house here her phone still shows 5g but only tests around 20MBs. My LTE phone tests about the same so I would guess even if the phone says 5G, that might not be the case. Also, their plans include unlimited data (although slow data) and text anywhere in the world. Talk is 25 cents a minutes. It is unlimited talk, text, and 5GB of LTE data in Mexico and Canada. Also, our bill it going to be about $100 a month cheaper than it was with US Cellular. The guy at the store also gave me some sort of employee code that I can go to a website and enter it to get 20% off the total bill for life. So, if my okie math is working correctly the 4 lines that would be $170 per month will end up being $119 per month. That is pretty darn cheap. Hell I might even add a line for the 11 year old.
