It's not the area; it's the phone 😞 This will be a deal breaker for me if there is something about the phone that makes it not work on T-Mobile where I'm located. It would be great if you could run LTE Discovery (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.simplyadvanced.ltediscovery&hl=en_US) and see which bands it is getting (or isn't getting), vs your other phones, and whether that changes being inside vs outside.

I don't have a phone handy to test if this is in the same screen as what @EskeRahn has pointed to, but picking (or adding) the right APN may be needed for T-Mobile to work properly. Here is the info on it though:  https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-2090 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
david 929 Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 (edited) And regarding wifi calling, this looks like a possible solution. I've never used it. I've only used other apps that they've mentioned (WhatsApp, Viber, etc.) where you need the other person to have the same app, or you have to pay for calls to regular phone numbers. But this solution appears to offer calling to regular numbers for free, yet over wifi. I guess the only downside is in it being a different number than your normal number. https://www.talkatone.com/free-wifi-calling-app/android/ Google Voice has a similar option, where you can set it to prefer mobile data/wifi instead of regular cellular for the connection. That might offer better integration with your normal cell number than talkatone (regarding forwarding calls/texts/voicemails between them). I don't know. What I love about Google Voice is that it integrates with gmail, so texts to the GV number show up in gmail as emails and you can reply to them in gmail. This allows you to easily text from a computer instead of having to type on the phone (really beneficial for phones without physical keyboards, but also faster than typing on a physical keyboard phone).

Craig 1,435 Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 I've got LTE with freedompop (AT&T MVNO). I did have to add APN; there were only 2 listed already, both labeled cingular. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dreamflasher 120 Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 @Erik did the 3rd batch arrive in the warehouse? Â People should receive stock assigned emails today, then right? Did anybody already get theirs? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I believe that dreamflasher was meaning Hong Kong logistics hub. Erik said last week that people in 3rd batch should receive stock assignment mails early this week when the phones are at the warehouse in Hong Kong. Phones were in transit last week. I believe that we get mails soon 😉. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Let's do this instead. Dear F(x)tec, please never inform us of delays when they occur. We greatly appreciate being left in the dark until someone starts a rumor about a potential delay and we don't get confirmation for days, after which it is all like the new ETA was what was announced all along.
