Tmobile iphone gets at&t signal

[Kfchotwings]

When im at a place where i have very few bars of service for my iphone, the t-mobile logo on the top left corner changes to AT&T. It even changes to AT&T in the settings. The phone gets better signal and still operates normal when its like this. Is this normal? Or is my iphone just awesome?

In some areas tmobile and att share towers. So thats why you are seeing the switch its still tmobile service but you get the lovely att look every now and then.

Oh haha. One can only dream. Right? Lol

Lol it was a good shot. About 2 years ago Att and tmobile shared alot of the same towers. Well when tmobile decided to drop everything 5 dollars lower then Att, Att got mad and started buying out towers weaking tmobile services they started the switch but there are still a butt load of towers that still carry both carriers
