Re: Constant Issues with Cellular Signal
I’ve been using wifi calling but it hasn’t always had great results. Calls will still get stuck going out/coming in. Plus, it seems like my phone will only send texts over wifi to some people and not others. I’m not sure what the issue is, but it seems like my phone gets hung up on whether to use wifi or cellular when handling calls/texts. I get my internet through Xfinity so my speeds are good. Also, my modem and wifi router are both new and configured properly (as far as I can tell). Also, thank you for the information you’ve provided!91Views0likes0CommentsRe: Constant Issues with Cellular Signal
I’ve been with T-Mobile for around 10 years. Moved to the area I’m in 4 years ago. I occasionally ran into this issue in the past but nothing like this. I put something up on my HOA FB page and apparently this is an issue with everyone who has T-Mobile/Sprint in the area. I’m just late to the party. Most of them are switching to Verizon or are trying the 4G LTE CellSpot option (most have reported poor results with the CellSpot).87Views0likes0CommentsConstant Issues with Cellular Signal
Over the last few years, I’ve noticed a problem with the cellular signal in my area getting more erratic. Over the last 3-6 months, it’s become substantially worse and my cellular connection is almost unusable at times. This usually happens in the area I live in but it has happened occasionally in other areas. My phone can have full bars of cellular service yet I intermittently cannot send or receive texts and/or phone calls. (I don’t make or receive a lot of phone calls, so I don’t notice it as much, but it definitely happens.) Lately, it’s happened more often than not. I originally thought this was just affecting me so I tried software updates, restarts, etc. Recently I found out that this has been affecting my whole household, which is all on T-Mobile. We all have different phones (Samsung S9, Samsung S8, and a Google Pixel 3a). The only thing I’ve found that helps somewhat when I notice that a text won’t send is to put my phone into airplane mode and then take it out. I’d say it gives me a 50% chance of sending the text. I’ll sometimes put it in and out of airplane mode 2-3 times to get a text to send. I’m not sure what can be done about this. I suspect that perhaps the cellular network in my area is overloaded or something else is going on with the network. Any advice/information would be great!5.6KViews1like9Comments
