Thanks, Scott. That is interesting about the data session. Just before doing the testing I had logged onto mail and fetch some. Then when I didn't get the numbers I thought I would get, I redid it, having just opened a page in Safari where I had never been before. And I had Wi-Fi turned off, so

Mary, yes it does. It tells me that you’re using band 4 or a band that includes the 2.0 ghz range. So where you are is not using 700 MHZ yet. The reason you didn’t see to much data filled in is because you didn’t have a recent data session. You need to pull some data first before running the

Hi Scott, I suppose this really is off-topic for most people on this list. But I thought I would report to you since you were nice enough to tell me that a test methodology, that when I did as you said I did not see any numbers or letters for upload or download frequency. I did get a you a RFC i

Hi, no this is perfectly safe but you were smart to ask the question. The way to exit is just hit the home button. Once you leave field test mode it stops and you have to rerun the dial commands. You’ll also know because the bars will appear again instead of the DB reading. Hope that helps.

Hi Scott, Thank you for the instructions. I was on the verge of doing this when I realized I do not know how to get my phone out of test mode. Is this just a one time thing and it automatically reverts? Or do I need to do something, and if so what? You can tell I don't know what I'm doing really

Hi Mary, SO what you want to do is enter the phone in to test mode. First, browse somewhere or open your mail, just make sure you generate some network traffic. Then go to the phone app and dial *3001#12345#* and press send Your phone will enter field test mode. You’ll notice your bars indica

Hi Scott, I am new to T-Mobile, so I have no history with them to comment on. I have not noticed any particular difference between my coverage with them and with Verizon in and around town. I have gotten conflicting word from T-Mobile regarding the whole issue of band 12 and whether or not it is

Depends on your use case. If you’re a T-Mobile customer I would suggest it highly because you’ll get the band 12 (700 mhz) band access that you can’t in the 6. It’s quite a bit faster although the 6 was fast enough and the battery life is very good. T-Mobile gave me a good deal, if you can get

Wondering if anyone else if finding their experience while on the cell network is vastly improved. I’m on T-Mobile and may be taking advantage of their new bands but I don’t think they are active in my area yet do to conflicts with a TV station on channel 51. I did test at home and checked the
