Catch-22 problem
Catch-22 problem Good Cell and Poor Wifi or Poor Cell and Good WiFi your choice. The TMO-G4AR Gateway performs well enough 80mips down / 10 up most hours of the day if the Gateway is in a Window. I get a better performance with the Gateway on a 6 foot step ladder in my driveway and my laptop wired. There is a design problem I get tolerable service with Gateway in my driveway but WiFi to the inside of my house it poor. I guess I could mount the Gateway on the roof with a plastic bag for weather protection and run an Ethernet cable to my own router. Can anyone recommend an external mount antenna with 20 - 30 feet of cable for this TMO-G4AR Gateway.
Unable to connect when outside U.S. with Legacy Pay As You Go
Hello All, I have had a Legacy Pay As You Go for several years now and whenever I have traveled outside the U.S., it will automatically register to the local network and connect to whatever country I'm in. However, it's no longer doing that now. I arrived in Taiwan a couple of days ago and it refuses to connect to any network. When I attempt to manually select a local it provides a listing of five different networks and three of those are labeled "forbidden". When I try to connect to the two that are not marked as "forbidden", it just shows "Couldn't connect" with no explanation. When I was in Taiwan several weeks ago, my phone automatically connected to a local network, Far East Tone, a few seconds after turning it on upon landing. And that's just how it's been the last few years of traveling outside the U.S. It will automatically connect to a local network and I'll receive a text which begins with something like "Welcome to...". I've never had to manually select a network, never had to change any phone settings and never had to notify T-Mobile in advance of my travel plans. I have since installed the SIM into two other devices and results are just the same - it refuses to connect to any network. If anyone would have any ideas as to why I am unable to connect now, I'd very much appreciate reading about them. Thanks! Greg

Issue with RCS messaging while on T-mobile 5G WiFi
I have an iPhone 14 with the latest iOS which added the RCS messaging feature. At home I've been using Spectrum internet for years but last week I decided to try out the T-mobile 5G Home Internet. I got the gateway, set it up and connected my desktop, laptop and my phone to it. Everything was working fine and internet speed is great on all devices. But after just a little bit of messaging back and forth with my gf who has an Android phone, I noticed messages reverted back to SMS. I checked settings and everything is set to enable RCS. I then switched back to the Spectrum WiFi and messages automatically switched back RCS right away. But as soon as I switch back to the T-mobile WiFi, it goes back to SMS. If I restart the phone, then RCS works for a few minutes then it stops working again. I've searched all over the web about this and can't find any solution or even the reason why this is happening. Others have had similar issues, but does anyone know why this is happening? RCS seems to work everywhere else I go...works on cellular data and works on other WiFi networks that I've connected to at work or at my gf's house, as well as my Spectrum network. But it doesn't work on my T-mobile home WiFi. I don't get why, it makes no sense, but it's driving me crazy!
Home Internet and IRS free file fillable forms
I'm not able to sign in to the IRS free file fillable forms site to file my taxes when I'm connecting through my T-Mobile internet. I can connect through my work internet connection or by using a hotspot at home, but the same laptop over T-Mobile internet does not connect. Anyone else notice this problem?
How can I contact T-Mobile Corporate Office?
How can I contact T-Mobile Corporate Office? I reached out to T-Mobile on December 18 with an inquiry and keep getting told that someone would call me which has not happened. This is an unprofessional way to treat a loyal customer. It seems the representatives on T-Mobile chat just lied their way through our multiple conversations. I’m fed up!Apple Product has lacked
I recently got an iPhone 16 pro max. I loved the idea of getting it and was told I would get a bargain for the bill. The bill ended up being figure to be right over 100$ and when I got the bill it has been upped to 170$. It also doubled this month because I made the payment last month and it wasn’t added. The phone itself started with perfect software. Now it is very wrong and operating in strange ways. The autocorrect messes up and the service gets dropped at will. Also the battery will not charge past 1% if it so chooses. It’s very frustrating because I have gotten a new one sent to me two times. It was always through apple and not through T-Mobile though and so I never really believe my replacements are all real apple. They come in a used box and aren’t original packaging. I’m also supposed to get the replacements for 0$ and they charge me the 100$ and don’t explain why. I wish that this would be better service for taking all this in house instead of sending it out.
