Hey all
I have an iPhone 17 bought from Apple unlocked and got the carrier deal with T-Mobile. Ever since I have had my phone, the T-Mo 5G/LTE internet has never worked. I can use WIFI for internet at home just fine and since I am work from home and rarely need to leave, it's not been too big of an issue.
I've have kept it up to date with iOS updates and other updates needed. T-Mo suggested a new phone (I got Apple care) since it could be defective but I haven't gone that route yet.
Today, I decided to try an experiment since my phone is unlocked. I downloaded a free trial of Google Fi since it runs on T-Mo's network. I got it setup via esim like T-Mobile and the Google internet, even on LTE worked flawlessly! I thought maybe the issue had been fixed and turned off the Google Fi sim and turned back on the T-Mo sim and tried the internet again, and same issue, it would not connect to anything.
Just wondering if anyone else experienced this? I really don't want to try getting a replacement phone only to have the same issue if it's the T-Mo network itself.
