Re: Home Internet Goes Out Every Couple of Hours
Yes unfortunately like many others I had to return my equipment. I stayed on the waiting list for over a year before I was finally approved. Oddly enough, a week after I return the equipment I got an email telling me that T-Mobile had got it it’s wires crossed and I was not actually approved for the equipment. Either way I’ll try it again in another year.95Views0likes0CommentsRe: Wifi extenders
I second the opinion of anyone who suggests using a mesh Wi-Fi router system. If you’ve got T-Mobile’s home Internet then putting the gateway and Wi-Fi off mode and the routers and access point mode is going to give you the best benefit. When not using T-Mobile home Internet and perhaps using a regular cable ISP, you’ll definitely get better performance with a mesh system.43Views0likes0CommentsRe: Home Internet Goes Out Every Couple of Hours
I’ll go ahead and add my experience. I signed up last month in hopes that I could replace Xfinity with T-Mobile. I’ve got great handset signal and performance so I figured the home Internet would as well. I had great speeds up and down. However I did notice some sort of bottlenecking to begin with. I elected to use my TP Link mesh router‘s and turned off Wi-Fi on the gateway. This helped my situation greatly However I was able to work with Xfinity on a guaranteed 200 down 10 up plan for $50. It just didn’t make sense to pay $50 for sometimes great speed but also a lot of buffering especially when Hulu plus live did not work.82Views0likes0CommentsRe: Home internet really slow and no 5g
Well I had the same problem a lot of people had. The service was OK I was beating my old Xfinity speeds up and down for a much lower price however this was the big catch, it doesn’t work with Hulu live. Yes there are a ton of other streaming services but for some people in this household that apparently is the only one that matters. So I had to return the gateway and go back to Xfinity.79Views0likes0CommentsRe: Custom VM Greeting
I’m sure most everybody knows somebody with a phone. Just about every phone on the market through any carrier or manufacturer has either a stock voice recorder or the ability to download an app that will do the same. It’s as simple as recording your greeting on that voice recorder from another phone and then find a nice quiet area to replay that file while recording on your own phone. I mean if you need a particular background song or track you can play that in the background while speaking over that playing file. If you don’t have access to another phone or a voice recorder of some sort, the method I use works just fine and at this point it’s not really even a hassle for somebody who’s done it several times.119Views0likes0CommentsRe: Custom VM Greeting

As much as I agree with everyone who wants this customized option, you have to remember that voicemail on iOS as with any other carrier is handled by Apple. This is not a T-Mobile thing. You’d have to get T-Mobile and Apple to work together on this so that the operating system would be able to communicate with some aspect of T-Mobile‘s overall system so that Apple could create the option to do so and even though iOS handles voicemail, the caller from whatever carrier is still going to need access within T-Mobile to hear that customized message. Obviously this is just not a high priority for either company. So it doesn’t matter how much you pay T-Mobile if Apple is the company controlling it.116Views0likes0CommentsRe: Custom VM Greeting
@robonix So it’s been a year since I answered this question. You haven’t clarified whether you’re using android or iPhone. But upon further investigation I found that my answer is still valid and while it may not be the only answer it’s the only one I did find and implement myself. I use an iPhone and I go to the voicemail tab in the phone app. You can record your own greeting. The only way I have found is rather convoluted and I’m sorry it sounds like a sloppy and ill-suited answer to you, However it does work. Things on iOS are not as easily implemented as android because of iOS limitations. There’s no way to record or upload a recording through iPhone like there may be with android. So again I don’t know which operating system you’re using but with iPhone I basically have to go to the camera app and choose the photo option and then press and swipe to the right on the shutter button so that it records sound that is playing from the same iPhone that I’m using. Using the voice memo or voice recording app will cease anything playing on the phone and record from the microphone only. With the photo option you can record what is actually playing on the phone at the same time. I then use a separate ringtone app that can take the sound from the video. This works great for custom ringtones but still there is no way to use that file while recording a new voicemail because recording a custom voicemail greeting basically does the same thing that the voice recording app does and uses the microphone to listen to you speak. this is why I have not found a proper way to record what you want your custom voicemail greeting to be without using a separate speaker that is playing either the music or a pre-recorded voicemail greeting that you have created through any other method. However if you’re using an iOS device, you can use the feedback tool to send the suggestion directly to Apple. Or you may use Google or DuckDuckGo or Bing or any other search engine and perhaps find an answer none of us has found as of yet.35Views0likes0CommentsRe: Tmobile Home Internet with Tmobile Cellspot
I thought the cellspot needed cable for backhaul. Mine was network cabled to the WiFi cellspot. The cellspot into the cable modem. I didn’t think the cellspot could work without the cable to take back info from the cellspot. Basically the cellspot provided a way for phones to connect to the internet and network. So in my mind it’s a snake eating it’s tail. The cellspot is putting out a signal but no info coming in or going out. The home internet gateway is receiving and sending nothing as well. Hope they get this figured out for you.49Views3likes0Comments
