Dayton, Ohio One of Highest Points Airway Rd & Smithville Rd Poor Signal

One bar signal usually and drops to zero bars if you turn your head then drops the call.  I may have to research other carriers if their price is right and leave T-Mobile. I do not want to return to Verizon ever.

I have thought about buying a repeater for my house.  I am not sure if I want to go that route just yet.

    Hey there, I totally understand how it feels to have poor signal. In your situation I would recommend troubleshooting your device with the attached link. If you are unable to get your service working this way an alternative to purchasing a repeater could be using wifi calling, I have attached a link to a youtube video that will show you how to set it up.

      There are 3 different makes of phones in use at that location and none of them gets a decent signal.  T-Mobile must have turned off the cell tower at Airway and Woodman.  2601 Mission Point Blvd Beavercreek Ohio 45431 is a major dead zone.  This location used to be served by the tower at Woodman and Airway.  This is a 3 story building and all T-Mobile users experience no signals here.  I will look at a repeater for my house which should work well.  Will T-Mobile discount my bill for this?

      T-Mobile is having signal problems in areas and people should be aware of this issue that goes unresolved.  Straight Talk had an excellent signal at Airway and Smithville.  I could go back to them.  I will have to ponder this situation and it will depend on how tired I become of weak/no signal on top of one of the highest points in Dayton.  AT&T is another viable option, but Verizon Wireless is completely out.  I was with them for 14 years.
