mobile not compatible with T Mobile works with wifi
I started a post that said: "buy t mobile prepaid card to travel to the US" and T Mobile told me that my phone was not compatible with them, but now what I would like to know is if I go with my current cell phone (which T Mobile says which is incompatible) and I go with my SIM that does not have roaming in the USA, when I am in a hotel and I connect with my mobile and my sim to the hotel's wifi, the hotel's wifi will not work for me either? I hope your help. Thank you
Thanks for the explanation but I don't understand anything because I am profane on the subject; In any case, from what you tell me, the most normal thing is that in the Wi-Fi of the hotels I can use my mobile with my European SIM, whether I have roaming or not, right?
Bands deployed vary by region and city. T-Mobile primarily uses Bands 12, 66, and 71 for 4G LTE with bands 2, 4, 5, and 41 still being available in some areas. For 5G, bands n41, n66, and n71 are the most common but there are deployments on other bands as well. This is why T-Mobile sold devices support a wide selection of bands.

no one in here can assure you of anything..but wifi is wifi..if you have traveled to any other country and used their wifi then i dont see how there would be any difference..if your device uses 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz for wifi then thats the same here.
where are you going on the west coast?
Why do you ask where I'm going? Is there a difference in coverage depending on the city?

I am profane in this topic and I don't know which bands. I'm sorry but I thought that if a mobile works in Europe it works in the US (for Wi-Fi)

As long as your plan has wifi calling. Wifi calling doesn't use cellular bands.
I don't know what you mean that my plan has Wi-Fi calls. Can't all mobile phones use the Wi-Fi bands? In my house my mobile uses the Wi-Fi at home. I don't know if this is important. But of course it is the wifi of my house in Europe, not the wifi of a hotel in the US
Sorry, I know that nobody can guarantee anything, I mean that if here in Europe, our family mobiles work well, and are "normal" although I don't know what bands they use if 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz for Wi-Fi, it is very likely that in Does the Hotel Wi-Fi work, regardless of whether they are not compatible with T Mobile? that's what I mean. We go to Los Angeles, Las Vegas and San Francisco.

so you can assure me that regardless of the fact that my mobile is not compatible with T Mobile cards or to receive T Mobile frequencies on the west coast of the US, in the hotel's Wi-Fi, if I connect through it, I will be able to navigate safely ? thank you
