Anyone else losing ALL service in the areas since the T-Mobile/UScellular takeover? (New Castle, VA)
Hey everyone, I’m looking for some sanity check here. I live in Craig County, Virginia (very rural/mountainous), where US Cellular has historically been the only provider that actually works.
Ever since the T-Mobile takeover started moving forward, my service at home has gone to zero. We have 3 people in our house and we all had US Cellular. We’ve gone from reliable bars to 'SOS only' or 'No Service' inside our own house. Which US Cellular did have to send us a signal booster that helped out tremendously, but now my father in law has to go out on the back porch just to make a call or send a text and he sometimes even has to drive up the road. My husband and I have newer phones and we are constantly walking around with our phones up in the air just looking for a signal. And if I want to make a phone call in the house I have to set my phone over by the window and put my headphones in to be able to walk around. And I do admit US Cellular was not the best in the past, but they did send us a signal booster A couple years ago and it was a game changer, although it does not work anymore.
Is anyone else—especially in rural areas or 'middle market' towns—seeing their service get gutted as T-Mobile integrates the v a temporary 'tower upgrade' thing or are they just leaving rural customers in the lurch? Would love to hear if this is happening nationwide or just in my neck of the woods...
