Back in October I decided to switch from Sprint to T-Mobile.
I called Tmo and ordered a white 16gb Galaxy S III.
It arrived I called and followed the instructions of the rep to activate it.
Once activated I Noticed that I only had edge in and around my house even though when I put my address in the Tmo website they showed a map that said I was well within the 4G coverage area for Tmo.
After 4 days of bad coverage I decided to return the phone and cancel so I did.
YESTERDAY my cousin and his wife who have the exact same Galaxy S III on Tmo that I had where at my house and we ran some speed tests we noticed that his wife had 4g and was getting about 19mb down while he was on edge getting about 40kb down (like I was when I tried Tmo just 2 months ago)
We turned both on and off a few times and nothing changed. I've been w/ sprint forever so I am only familiar with CDMA and started looking to see if maybe there was a profile or PRL update and couldnt find any... What could be causing this? I'd love to switch to T-Mobile to save some money but how do I make the phone get good service like hers was?
