Carrier Share your T-Mobile Band 12 Experience

[nj1266]

I am thinking of upgrading to an iPhone 6s Plus from my current iPhone 6. I am on the T-Mobile network. My coverage at home and at work is poor, but I have WiFi access so it is not a big deal. If you are on the T-Mobile network and upgraded to an iPhone 6s/6s+, can you please share your experience with improved coverage or lack thereof. I know it will differ by area, but I just ant to get a general idea whether it is worth it to upgrade to the latest iPhone.

TIA

Band 12 is extremely amazing and beneficial in the places that it's available. I had T-Mobile about 8 years ago but I had to switch because I never had service at home and calls constantly dropped. I switched back to T-Mobile when the iPhone 6S released, and my house consistently sits on 2 bars of LTE. Band 12 has also improved coverage on my entire side of town. The grocery stores and local places I frequently visit would be stuck between 'No Service' and Edge, however recently I've noticed my phone never switches from LTE. Band 12 is great.

Is there any way I can ch city whether the iPhone is using band 12 or not? Because at my home it keeps on switching to 4G/LTE

Their coverage map lets you switch between a map showing coverage with or without band 12. Their map is known to be a little over optimistic at times though.

Based on their map though, T-Mobile looks almost usable in my area. The towns I would be going to are pretty much covered, but the entire commutes and my house wouldn't be covered lol.
