T-Mobile service in Torrance and Brea?

T-Mobile and AT&T do not share the same towers. They are on their own seperate towers and networks. So expect coverage to be different between them.

 

T-Mobile, like every other carrier, has become more reliable for coverage as they've been investing heavily in their network. But there's always that chance that any carrier won't work well enough right where you need it to even though they work great in many other places.

 

Utilize the trial period to your advantage I would recommend you return your phone and either cancel, or try the unlimited hotspot calling phones if you have dsl or cable internet at home this will resolve your reception issues at home the store that you signed up with can exchange your device for the right equipment if this is an option you just add 9.99 to your plan to get unlimited calling while at home. If you don't have internet service than I would recommend you cancel for now and go back with your previous carrier, tmobile would love to have your business but we also want the service to be beneficial for you. And just an FYI CA customers have a 30 day buyer's remorse period all other states it's 14 days. If you do go with the WiFi calling option I recommend the Nokia 6031 it's a pretty cool phone, or the Blackberry curve, or the Pearl 8120, as the 8100 does not have this WiFi calling option. There are some samsung phones too, but I am not a fan of samsung. Good luck and keep us posted what happens.
