It's stupid and juvenile, but I've set a goal, damn it, and now I have to wait another year to try again. ๐Ÿ˜†

How is it having Mint Mobile?

[โ€“] ptz@dubvee.org 9 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Bout as good as having T-Mobile (uses their network). Will definitely vary from place to place, though. Kinda "meh" here since they mostly use band 66 for large cells which has pretty crap penetration into buildings.

Huh, good to know there's an explanation for why I was getting no signal inside my home when I was on T-Mobile. It's the reason I switched.

[โ€“] ptz@dubvee.org 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

T-Mobile uses a lot of different bands, depending on the coverage area. Some areas are on 700 Mhz, others on higher PCS bands (former Sprint bands). I used www.cellmapper.net to see what frequencies were used and confirmed with LTE Discovery app on my phone.

In my case, it was band 66 for a fairly large cell. I've also got a brick house, so that doesn't help. AT&T's 800 Mhz band worked well here but they were jerking around my plan so I switched to Mint.

I don't understand any of that, but I'm about to move into a brick house and now I'm wondering if my cell signal is going to suffer.

My wife used Mint Mobile from 2018 until 2022 and really liked it. We moved in 2022 and unfortunately our new place had very poor T-Mobile coverage so we had to switch, otherwise we'd still be using them. She switched to US Mobile which give you a choice of using T-Mobile or Verizon.

They're QCI 7 rather than QCI 6 though, which basically means they're considered lower priority on the T-Mobile network. If there's congestion (not enough network bandwidth for everyone that wants to use it), customers on QCI 6 are given priority. Every MVNO except for Google Fi is QCI 7, while Google Fi and most plans directly through T-Mobile are QCI 6.
