Can I move my wireless home network to a new physical location?

I use my T-mobile home network in my RV.  While driving and at a new location, it used to connect and continue to provide internet service.  A few months ago, it stopped doing so, except at my home.  Is T-mobile no longer allowing portability of the T-MOBILE 5G HOME INTERNET? 

 

  • TMHI was never meant as a portable service.  Usually, the gateways are locked to a specific few of the closest towers to where your service address is.

    Thanks for the comment.  

    I had thought so too initially , but my friend who also uses his T-mobile home in an RV had been using it successfully remotely for years.  And I have too for about a year.  Perhaps, they are finally locking it down.

    You can try getting info on this from T-Mobile directly over social media

    He probably has a Hotspot which is different than home internet.

    No, he has the same unit I do.  We are currently too far out to have a signal and he sees a very weak signal.  At least the unit is not showing an error message which it has done before.
