T-Mobile Hoping to Forge LTE Roaming Deals

Sep 8, 2014, 3:07 PM by Eric M. Zeman

T-Mobile today indicated it is working with other carriers to offer LTE roaming. T-Mobile competitors Sprint and Verizon Wireless have aggressively pursued rural LTE roaming deals, which has in turn increased their LTE availability. T-Mobile has been slower to make such agreements, and it lacks coverage in many rural locations. T-Mobile's director of business development, Heather Stacey, said the company is weighing the Competitive Carrier Association's data roaming hub and/or making a bilateral roaming arrangement directly with another carrier. Stacey admitted that both technical and business issues (i.e., cost) have slowed T-Mobile's progress on roaming agreements. Nevertheless, T-Mobile expects to have at least some LTE roaming agreements in place before the end of the year. Such agreements will expand the availability of LTE service to T-Mobile's customers.

Jul 29, 2021
As T-Mobile continues to expand its 5G network, PCMag reports that the company has updated its coverage maps to differentiate between its faster "Ultra Capacity" 5G and its slower but more widely-available "Extended Range" 5G. T-Mobile's 5G Ultra Capacity network uses a mid-band frequency (2.5 GHz, AKA band 41, which was inherited from Sprint) that offers faster data speeds than most sub-6 GHz 5G, and much better coverage than mmWave 5G.

Need to work on other things

Like deploying Band 12 spectrum and releasing more devices that support it, so the days of bad signal can be over.
