3G confirmed working in Arlington and Grand Prairie TX. Getting about 3-5mbs.

Traveling this week....confirmed 3G right now in Brighton, Michigan. (North of Ann Arbor).

**tarheelwes** · 10-13-2012, 12:02 PM

I am also on the old Tzones.....question:

I'm in an area now where I'm only getting AT&T.....I have "data roaming" turned off...anybody know if I'm charged extra now for using data when on AT&T? I shouldn't be right?

Drove around this morning and saw 3G siting in the following places

**jbird55** · 10-15-2012, 09:12 AM

I'm in a small town called Tewksbury, MA and work in Cambridge. Tewksbury shows 5 bars of 3G, Cambridge, 4 bars of E.

Go figure.

I have noticed that there are a lot of areas in Brooklyn, NY where I am getting 3G and some very good speeds. Hopefully by the end of november NYC would have full 3G coverage.

iPhone 4S 6.0 in houston tx on 3G but goes back to E

**JaysonPD** · 10-16-2012, 01:18 AM

Sorry for being an idiot, but would unlocked iPhone 5 on T-mobile receive 4g?

**Jmccollom** · 10-16-2012, 03:54 AM

I don't believe so yet. Tmobile is still in process of switching over towers an should all be running 3g on iPhone . But 4g I am unsure of at this time..

This will make one of our mods (Orby) a happy camper.

Just popped the sim card into a 4S for the wifey. 3G in Kansas City!
Pages load almost as fast as on my mytouch 4G.

Nope, not an idiot by any means. 4G on these phones operate at a specific band which T-Mo does not yet have. It will most likely require Apple to manufacture these phones to work at T-Mo's freq. I don't see T-Mo applying for those rights (if they can).

That's about what I know to be true.

Tmobile's data service as is, is considered 4G in their eyes due to the speeds it can deliver to devices.

**Timz717** · 10-18-2012, 06:47 PM

3G coverage in el segundo, ca (near LAX), few parts in Hawthorne, Carson and Compton.( LA county)

As for Orange County, I had a 3G signal in parts of Anaheim, California.

Speed wasn't as good as the other posters. I was only getting 2.5 Mbps to 3 Mbps. But better than just edge.

For that matter, if you got an unlocked iPhone 5, would the old T-Zones plan work on it? Even for just edge?
Thanks for any info!

Yes, if it were factory unlocked it will work, been using T-Zones on iPhones for over 4 years.

They upgraded their 3G towers which let them reach "speeds of 4G".
However 3G and 4G does not really define a particular speed, it simply stands for 3rd Generation and 4th Generation.

Many, many people think 4G stands for 4 Giga"something" bits...bites.....

Finally 3G in L.A. Got it on my way home today in front of farmer johns. 😬
