not receiving texts sporadically

Recently ported my number over from Verizon, along with 6 other family members. I have a note 20 ultra and am randomly not receiving texts.  Happens more in group texts, but some individual ones too. I can't pin it to only iPhones, since I missed 2 android texts as well...but the majority are from what seems to be certain iPhone users.  Some will come thru from them, but the majority won't. No one in my family is having issues.  2 of my brothers are in a group thread I'm in, one has an iPhone, the other a pixel and they are receiving everything. I'm using Google messages, and tried Samsung messenger as well.  Issues both ways. I've done every trick t-mobile has suggested.  Had their tech support walk me thru resetting the network on my phone, they also did it on their end. They haven't said to do a factory reset...before I try that on my own, does anyone have an experience like this and a solution?   I hate factory resets so I wanted to try here first. I have no issues sending texts, a

T-mobile wingman/Managed wifi settings on iPhone

Why do I have two managed wifi settings on my IPhone? When I remove the SIM card they disappear. There is no way to delete them nor forget network. Every time I reset network settings they reset to auto-connect?   I have extracted the script of one of the managed settings and its concerning it contains the verbiage to bypass MAC randomization, create a captive portal, and hide it from me the user?

Service at Melbourne Beach, FL

What is the prognosis for a cell tower to assist the residents of Melbourne Beach, FL? There are dead spots and recently there have been more “Emergency Calls Only” showing on the phone. “No Network Service” and no network operators show up. It’s becoming irritating when we cannot use the phone for internet service also.

Zero outdoor service on Military Rd S, WA

Since JBLM closed off their tower a year ago to non-military cell users, T Mobile has made no attempt to build a new tower. That means that Spanaway Park and Sprinker Center, local parks, have no 911 service despite encampments with fentanyl and meth users inhabiting the neighborhood.  I spend most of my day outdoors, and disabled and am a fall risk. The lack of cell service here is dangerous.  Besides complaining to the FCC, what else can I do? Tech support said to buy a new phone.  I have a brand new  Apple 15, and am very angry about my needless purchase. No modernization is planned in this area despite several T Mobile employees telling me there are two towers planned.

No 5G connection on internet gateway

I've recently noticed that my Internet gateway is not getting a 5g signal. The Advanced Cellular Metrics show nothing for 5g and band b12 for LTE. My connection has been significantly slower for the past few months. I've already tried resetting the gateway and verifying the position of the gateway and it still produces the same result. Any ideas how to get better speeds? 1 to 12 mbps isn't cutting it. I was expecting better than this.

Loss of Signal

Have had no problem with Internet and WiFi for over a year.  Have not moved the tower and it is in the recommended placement. In the last week, we have had little to no signal with constant buffering, taking forever for page to load including time outs. is there a nationwide or area wide problem with T-Mobile?  We are in South Texas.

Voice mail

I had someone call my phone because I was not receiving voice mail notifications.  Instead of my voice mail it was transferred to a voice mail with a 808 area code. Any one had or is having this problem?

Cell phone signal into basment home

My TMoblile gateway is a NOK 5G21.Knowing I do not get any cell signal in my house I installed a Cell Phone Signal Booster from Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BV65DLX1/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1) I have it wired into my basement home (actually have dirt and concrete roof). It sends a signal into my home. My US Cellular cell phone works in all my rooms. And is about equal inside using signal booster and outside with speed tests. My TMobile gateway works. But when I take my Gateway out onto my roof, it has a much faster down and upload speed than when it is inside using my signal booster? Can anyone help me figure out why my TMobile Gateway is slower inside connected to the booster than outside? Thanks,Jim

Tower outages in Twin Cities, MN

I’ve been having issues with signal strength for days and now today I’m just about completely cut off.  Three phones plus home internet.  Download speeds went from 400MB to about 0.4MB at home.  About the same on phones.  Won’t connect to 5Guc and barely any bandwidth on LTE.  Support said they we performing upgrades to towers in my area.  Yikes… service nearly completely cut off.

5G Ultra Capacity --- NOT!

Looking at the coverage map, my home is in a supposedly “5g Ultra Capacity” area.  Yet, at my home, I only get one bar, most of the time and two bars sometimes, but rarely.  I only get 5mbps download and 0.2 mbps upload speeds.  What do I have to do to get better coverage?  Does T-Mobile ever erect new towers or troubleshoot reception issues in the field?  I’ve used my phone in some actual 5g Ultra Capacity areas and I got 568mbps download speeds which I thought was remarkable.  Will I ever get this at home?  I’d switch to home internet in a second if I could really get 568mbps downloads at home.  Obviously, the technology is capable of fantastic performance.

Has anyone successfully used a app that requires UDP packets

I have seen several posts mentioning T-Mobile blocking UDP traffic. I have noticed that on random occasions, I am able to use my remote radio control app requiring UDP packets.  It only lasts for a few hours and only once in a few days.  Has anyone had any success with apps which require UDP.  I use an iPhone 15 Pro Max and have tried both 5G and compatibility hotspot modes.Bob W

Change IP Address

I use the Illinois lottery app online and before changing to Tmobile I had no problems with it but since changing now it won’t let me purchase. I emailed the lottery people and they said my problem is that my IP address shows I’m not in Illinois. I checked online and it said I was in St. Louis MO, so I told the site to change my IP so it’s in Makanda, IL now but it still isn’t working. Any ideas?TIA

Frequent internet connection drops or interruptions due to low-flying aircraft

When aircraft fly low over residential areas, their presence interferes with wireless signals, including those used for internet connections. This interference disrupts the stability of Wi-Fi connections, leading to dropped connections or slow speeds.I have an excellent connection and have re positioned my Wi-Fi router to a higher location in my home, away from windows or exterior walls facing the direction of the aircraft.However, relying solely on Wi-Fi router signal strength as a guide to a solid connection can be misleading. Despite showing excellent strength, my router often crashes the browser in the middle of inputting important data, resulting in data loss—a real issue.I have experimented with both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequencies to see if one experiences less interference from aircraft than the other, but I have encountered issues with both.Question: I'm curious if anyone has had success by adding shielding materials around their Wi-Fi router to minimize interference? If so what

Cannot send text messages sporadically; texts are received without issue

I have a Motorola Moto G Power 5G 2023.I sporadically cannot send text messages to anyone, including people in my contact list. This happens regardless of the text message app I’m using (Google, Verizon Message+, etc.). This has been happening since I switched my service to T-Mobile in October 2023, and I’m getting ready to find another carrier if this cannot be resolved.I attempt to send the message, and see an icon at the side that reads “Failed”. I’m given the option to try again, cancel, or delete the message.This issue will pop up every couple of weeks, and last for sometimes two or three days. Usually, it’s a problem for 12-24 hours.I’m beyond frustrated with this problem. I have cleared the app cache, restarted the phone to no avail.How is T-Mobile going to fix this?
