__Houston, TX — September 22, 2015__
__What:__
The Un-carrier™ today confirmed its Extended Range LTE, or 700 MHz low band spectrum, which now carries T‑Mobile’s LTE signals both farther and deeper indoors, is now live throughout Houston.
With a rapid deployment of a nationwide LTE footprint that reaches over 290 million Americans, “Space City” is now lit up with T‑Mobile’s best in-building coverage offering.
__Extended Range LTE Coverage__
T‑Mobile has been rolling out truckloads of new spectrum that carries the LTE signal twice as far from towers, for a massive coverage expansion – plus it works four times better in buildings.
In nine months, T‑Mobile has aggressively rolled out airwaves known as 700 MHz in 170 major metro areas including cities such as Kansas City, Miami and Fresno, so you can use your compatible phone to get great 700 MHz coverage while visiting friends and family in those cities.
Extended Range LTE also enhances coverage in other areas already served by our strong 4G LTE network, so LTE customers there can experience better coverage in suburban and rural areas because the signal reaches further and penetrates deeper than before.
So whether you are enjoying a night out in the Galleria or have an important business meeting downtown -- your coverage doesn’t have to be sacrificed.
Customers with 700 MHz-compatible devices can already see the benefits. Check your device compatibility or upgrade through JUMP! On Demand™ by visiting [https://www.t‑mobile.com/cell-phones.lte-band-twelve.html](https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phones.lte-band-twelve.html).
__Where:__
In addition to throughout Houston, 700 MHz now also extends to Un-carrier customers in Atascocita, Baytown, Bellaire, Brookshire, Bryan, Cinco Ranch, College Station, Conroe, Friendswood, Galveston, Hedwig Village, Hitchcock, Huntsville, Jamaica Beach, Jersey Village, Katy, Kemah, League City, Lufkin, Missouri City, Montgomery, Nacogdoches, Pearland, Seabrook, Spring, Stafford, Sugar Land, Texas City, The Woodlands, Tomball and Willis.
__Background:__
”H-Town” is just the latest area to receive our best in-building coverage as performance enhancements of America’s fastest nationwide 4G LTE network never stop.
In addition to delivering America’s fastest nationwide 4G LTE network, T‑Mobile has unleashed a steady drumbeat of industry-rocking Un-carrier moves, including abolishing restrictive annual service contracts, data limits, shock overages, the upgrade runaround, high international roaming charges and many more old-guard carrier practices.
Fastest LTE network based on download speeds.
