Dmmetler Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 I've discovered DD has much better coverage outside cities on tracphone than I have on Virgin Mobile, but I also love my Lumia. I know they don't have Windows phones on their websites, but could one work for BYOP? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanny Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 Does Virgin Mobile in the states use the T-Mobile network? If so, that is one of the 2 (?) best networks in the states, so what you described is probably not typical, if they are using the T-Mobile network. Here Virgin Mobile uses the Movistar network and the nearest tower is 1 or 2 blocks from our house. Coverage varies, a lot, depending upon where one is. When we were in the Cali airport at 240 A.M., with a huge problem, my wife had no signal on Virgin Mobile on her Motorola Turbo phone,, but the woman who was with us had coverage on Claro, on her Huawei hone. It varies a lot. In our house, in the Samsung phone I've been using for about 3 weeks now (dual SIM cards), the Claro signal is normally weak and the Virgin Mobile Signal is normally at full signal strength. For our next trip to the states, I am looking at US Mobile, https://www.usmobile.com/ because of the flexibility in their plans. If you are using GSM phones, Motorola and Samsung phones connect best to the cell towers. GL with what you buy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanny Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 I googled for "Lumina+Tracphone" (without the quote marks). This is the URL for the SERPs. Possibly something of interest to the OP there. https://www.google.com.co/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=Lumina%2BTracphone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmmetler Posted June 12, 2016 Author Share Posted June 12, 2016 I believe they use Sprint. My coverage is great in urban areas, but go anywhere at all remote and it's gone. DD's phone is on T-Mobile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
