Hi, I am new here and not very technology savvy. I have previously had phone service with AT&T with an iphone and Sprint with a blackberry, both which worked very well.
Recently due to finances I switched to a prepay plan with T-Mobile with limited minutes and data. I purchased an after-market Android phone new off of ebay. The phone sucks, and my question is this. Could the phone affect my coverage or is that just T-Mobile's service? Though the personal coverage map says I have excellent coverage in the areas I was in yesterday, I had 12 missed calls and voicemails but I was not notified of that till this morning.
Is that the fault of the phone or T-Mobile? I don't want to buy another phone if I am going to have the same problems, but if it's due to using a cheap phone, I will get a new one. It is important that I receive all my incoming calls immediately.
Thanks for any advice you have.
