ManikSChandel I just got this phone, and unfortunately I was incorrectly suggested by my current service provider: US Mobile, to buy their Lightspeed (T-Mobile) SIM for 4 dollars and they ship in 2 days though which is cool. But so I went through this whole process of contacting support for the second time in order to swap to this new SIM I got in the mail. Coming from my old Verizon SIM, comparatively in my area T-Mobile is absolutely atrocious and spotty as can be. Sure, I get 5G and good speeds, but what good is that if I canāt even use it half of my area? Plus I never get full bars, only max Iāve ever even seen was 3 bars. Ridiculous, I guess Iām only complaining now for no reason haha. I just hate T-mobile with a passion IDK whyā¦
Is that just me or is it because I live in a smaller town on the East Coast, or is T-Mobile known for being spotty? I donāt get it cuz AT&T and Verizon work just amazing, I think Sprint is also in the same boat in my area as well. Just interestingā¦ At least in the end the support rep whenever I contacted them yesterday for the third time said theyāre shipping me a āDark Starā (AT&T) Sim now free of charge due to the incorrect recommendation from earlier, so Iām happy I guess now. š AT&T in my area is the best coverage you can get, and Iāve always had great experience whenever I was using AT&T long ago, never once had any issues with coverage or speeds. š
May I ask what phone service you have?
I do not think these phones play well with Verizon SIM cards, not sure if itās the bands in the phone or what but I tried my Verizon sim and it didnāt even get RCS chat, perhaps I needed to get the sim configured properly for my specific phone though, not sure at this point since they pretty much just said itās not compatible with my phone when I asked them if I can use a Verizon sim with my CMFā¦ At least thatās what US Mobile said. I think I did read online people having troubleās with Verizon on the CMF phone, but I havenāt looked into too much thankfully I can switch SIMās. I guess Iād be screwed if I actually had Verizon and not US Mobile though.
Previously my Nord N10 5g worked just fine with Verizon with LTE usually full bars, so no clue. Even had RCS chat and visual voicemail within Google dialer, the whole sh-bang besides 5G because the nord has terrible 5g bands for US. Can you even believe T-Mobile still has not fixed their Google visual voicemail, YOU STILL HAVE TO DOWNLOAD THAT AWFUL PINK APP AND THEY CHARGE A MONTHLY SUBSCRIPTION FOR TRANSCRIPTIONS OF THE VOICEMAILS WHEN GOOGLE DIALER DOES THAT FOR FREEEEE!!!!! So you can hopefully understand why I HATE T-mobile now. Anyways, so that makes me think itās the bands in the device itself like I said that Verizon uses that this phone is missing I guessā¦
Sorry for the rant, just hoping something finds this thatās having issues like me with US Mobile, or perhaps even another similar phone provider. Cheers guys, I do hope we get these simple features that was listed by everyone in an upcoming update though. š„ŗ
SwayamKesarkar Also, I figured out I had this same issue, my WiFi at certain points would randomly stop working, and it would refuse to reconnect saying no internet or something like that. Even after a few reboots, clearing my saved wifi passwords multiple times and reconnecting again multiple times, but āNOTHINGā. What fixed it for me was change the setting if you click on your wifi network itself or hold and edit settings manully, then change the part where it says āRandom MAC addressā or something and switch that to Device MAC Address instead of Random and it instantly started working. Iām unsure maybe itās on my end, and itās my router being wonky with it, but I thought Iād give this suggestion.
