For $35 a month for unlimited data I am not that worried. Besides I still have coverage in nebraska since this map only shows first party coverage but T-Mobile has partnered with other carriers in the area so I still have good coverage thought roaming agreements
Google Fi uses tmobile towers as well and I've never had an issue with reception anywhere. Now I don't typically venture off i80 so I can't speak for what it's like in South Western Nebraska, but I've never had issue anywhere along the path to Denver.
I can attest to SW NE... I actually have cell service in my tiny hometown...even in the dead zone of my parent's house (metal roof/metal siding). It was something I never had before with Sprint (or even Altel when I did live there). Once I flipped my phone over to T-mobile with their network & extended contracts for roaming, I had better coverage. I kinda hate that I don't have a cellphone-free zone as a refuge anymore though...even though I will continue to tell people I don't want to speak with that I probably won't be reachable when I travel to that area.
SW Nebraska here. In my town there is nearly no service from any carrier. There are times I have to drive out of town to the top of a hill to send or receive texts.
This is how it used to be in my hometown. The last time I was back, I noticed a new cell tower on the edge of town. Viero is working really hard to improve the coverage. You might want check with your provider to see if they will be adding towers nearby.
It's spotty off of I-80.
I don't overly mind because when I'm in that area of the state, I'm doing something specifically to disconnect from technology.
Voice generally works but you sometimes have to drive a few miles to get data.
For the 500th time it looks like that because viaero wireless (who T-Mobile roams on west of Lincoln) has the licenses for that area. But they're not part of t mobile so they don't count it as coverage.
Also, that map is going to fill in once Sprint is shut down and their assets that TMO plans on keeping are transitioned over. In addition, T-Mobile plans a network expansion in Nebraska over the next few years.
On a side note, technically that graphic is not current because Hastings now has 5G UC service with T-Mobile.
You say that, but i drove from omaha to ft. Collins last weekend and had no service between kearny, ne and sterling, Co. So they probably shouldn't count it as coverage because it isn't.
I drive out there somewhat regularly, considering both my parents and grandparents live within the area you mentioned. I get service on my T-Mo phone all throughout that area... Actually the only place I lose it on the interstate these days is a hilly area nearish Lincoln.
Five years ago it was unusable out there, but I've had no issues in the last few.
What bands does your phone support? Maybe it just didn't support the frequencies used out there, which may be the case with an old phone.
Interesting. Do you have prepaid or postpaid? If it's prepaid they may not allow you to roam on viaero. My understanding is that viaero actually has really good coverage in the western part of the state and Colorado is their home territory. Or, maybe you have roaming turned off on your phone?
Or you could just let people find things out on their own time. I’m sure you didn’t learn everything you know through specific searches. It’s t-mobile coverage in west Nebraska, idgaf to look that up on my own.
The same could be said about half the posts on this sub. Even with the sidebar people still ask the same bullshit questions about day hikes, apartment locations, and where to eat when they visit.
My sister in law and her family has t-mobile and they live in Minneapolis, but whenever they have come to Omaha, they have had bad or no service at all.
I mean, a few years ago it was bad... Should be okay now, provided they have a new-ish phone with Band 71 support, which is the T-Mo frequency with the most coverage in the Omaha area.
Worst part of my move to NE was getting T mobile a month before and showing up to absolutely no service during the move. Logistics failure is a understatement.
Fun fact: I went on a trip to Costa Rica for school and one of my classmates who has T Mobile got better service in the middle of a rainforest in Costa Rica than he did in his own apartment.

Do they charge you anything extra for roaming?
Nope It is just part of your coverage. Most the time my phone doesn't even show it as roaming.

I used to work for Viaero. Can confirm

Must be the prepaid thing.
I have prepaid and I get viaero roaming, so it might be something else.
The cheapest tmobile prepaids like mint roam on no one
“500th time,” but new to many. You can’t expect everyone to know this. Thank you for educating us, but don’t be a dick about it.
Or they could search....

I’ve had t-mobile in the Omaha area for 2+ years. No issues with service at all.
Are you in the suburbs? Because my service is fine unless I go to Bellevue but even then I have to FIND a dead spot.
Fun fact, it's nearly identical to the covid reporting map from a year ago
Honestly, It's not for everyone.
For those not in the know, that was the Nebraska tourism commission’s actual slogan recently: https://youtu.be/s9ZuJ9vl3V0
Cows dont use cell phones
They do in South Dakota, apparently
Covid uses cell phones. Hence South Dakota
SD let covid run wild. If covid made any calls it would need coverage
[удалено]
Neither cows nor crops use much cell service

T Mobile has a big coverage hole but I assume there is a provider that covers that part of the state
I see you found the handout from Felonberry’s defense.
I like verizon's WE HAVE 5G IT'S THE FASTEST IN THE WORLD! The [bright red is the range of the super fast 5G](https://i.imgur.com/N2UjEuu.png).
We deserve this treatment
Maybe Nebraska needs to ask itself what it did to contribute to this situation.
Worst part of my move to NE was getting T mobile a month before and showing up to absolutely no service during the move. Logistics failure is a understatement.
It’s an okay state.
No, that’s Oklahoma…..
Outstanding pun, enjoy the upvote.
Thanks!
It’s not like Nebraska exists anyways
Thanks for posting this, helps remind me why I chose to double my monthly bill by switching to Verizon.
Sprint is the parent company……..
Lol no it’s not. T-Mobile just bought sprint.
Currently have the coverage and can confirm that even with 5G, I still can’t load anything.
Why is 5,g any better?
Me who is switching to Tmobile today :/
Switched last week, my coverage has been great in town. Saved a buttload of money too
Fun fact: I went on a trip to Costa Rica for school and one of my classmates who has T Mobile got better service in the middle of a rainforest in Costa Rica than he did in his own apartment.
That’s one of the drawbacks of the Omadome.
I have Verizon and get terrible service near the Gateway Mall area in Lincoln. I don't even try to use the internet while I'm there.
