T-Mobile uses 1900 mHz for all their native coverage, so if you are on their network, you will not have really great in building coverage. 850 mHz penetrates construction much better.

That all depends on the level coverage in your area. Down here in South Fl. we've got great saturation...and indoor signal is great.

Phoenix, AZ has great coverage too. If you give us a zip code, we can do a personal coverage check for you. Ask your dealer to show you one, you'll see exactly the level of service you'd get.

Absolutely untrue. Coverage inside buildings is often determined by how close or far you are from the nearest base station is the most important thing. It won't matter if you are receiving 850 or 1900 if you're close enough to the base station. This thing people have of elevating 850 to be the best thing since sliced bread is somewhat ridiculous.

It does depend where you are. You can go to their website and do the "personal coverage check" to see how good the coverage is in your area. Also, you can try a phone for 2 weeks and return it without paying the $200 early termination fee.

Saturation CAN improve 1900 mHz penetration, but 850 still penetrates better, and with more efficiency than 1900.... that's basic radio.

The best way to determine this is to visit T-Mobile.com and check the personal coverage check. You can type in an address and it will give you an idea of what to expect. Try it out and if its not for you there is a 14 day buyer's remorse oeriod. Return the phone and pay only for the serivce used!
