Info: Find Out About T-Mobile Coverage Here

Excellent post T-RODRIG30, per your request we'll make this a sticky, hopefully members will take advantage of the links.

Well another T-Mobile piece of propoganda. This information is not accurate at all. I've entered two address dead spots and they both came up as excellent coverage. Don't trust the information....Grrrrrrr!

It is possible that one of the towers in that area is down. Or the map may just be totally wrong. You can make T-Mobile aware of this by calling customer service and asking them to file a ticket for the area in question. They'll forward it on to the engineering team. Anyway, there is a disclaimer at the bottom of the Personal Coverage Check.

This map predicts and approximates our wireless coverage area outdoors, which may vary from location to location and may change without notice. It may include locations with limited or no coverage. Our maps do not guarantee service availability. Even within a coverage area, there are several factors, such as: network changes, traffic volume, service outages, technical limitations, signal strength, your equipment, terrain, structures, foliage, weather, and other conditions that may interfere with actual service, quality, and availability, including the ability to make, receive, and maintain calls. Multi-band (850/1900 MHz) GSM/GPRS handset required for access to 850 Roaming Coverage. Ask a T-Mobile sales representative or visit tmobile/morecoverage for more information regarding handset requirements and T-Mobile 850 MHz coverage. 850 MHz roaming is offered through our roaming partners; some features (e.g. picture messaging, mobile to mobile) may not be available while roaming.

I fixed it Richie. I'll bring it to the attention of the admins as well. Also, I wanted to point out that I live fairly close to a Sprint tower, but all the huge oak trees in my neighborhood cause me poor reception. This goes along with what the disclaimer says about T-Mobile's coverage, because they can't guarantee their coverage won't be affected by atmospheric or environmental conditions.

That really helped me out to see covered areas by T-mobile

That's a good map...wish Verizon had it. It would be more useful to me to know where the towers are located. I don't know why the companies (except Sprint) are so hush-hush about tower location.

make sure you check "data coverage"

Coverage viewers seem to not be very accurate. Just took my TMO blackberry to a spot they had listed as not having any reception and it sure enough did.

Very handy. Thanks.

There's a few horribad black spots in Eugene OR...

but why anyone would go there in the first place is beyond me.

i use tmobile to go. its great for me

I have T-Mobile ToGo also. I'm very satisfied with it.
