5G/4G LTE Coverage map

5G Coverage map

T-Mobile is the only nationwide 5G network and covers more people and places than anyone else.*

Access our 5G coverage map from your computer or mobile device. Enter your address, a city/state, or a ZIP code. Then press Enter or choose an item in the drop-down list. Click or tap with two fingers and drag to move the map around. Use the + and - icons to zoom in or out.

5G: Capable device required. Coverage not available in some areas.

4G LTE Coverage map

T-Mobile is changing the game by displaying LTE coverage maps with real customer data. The map can show you the median download LTE speed test results (where enough tests have been run in a 90-day period). Data is aggregated and not personally identifiable.

Access our 4G LTE coverage map from your computer or mobile device. Enter your address, a city/state, or a ZIP code. Then press Enter or choose an item in the drop-down list. Click or tap with two fingers and drag to move the map around. Use the + and - icons to zoom in or out. Tap or click on a specific location to see detailed information, including: What type of signal you should expect (indoor/outdoor reception)

If that location is Verified Coverage with the majority of customers successfully connecting in the last 90 days.

If Verified Coverage doesn't show, there just isn't enough customer-submitted data. The area still has the coverage shown.



If your phone has signal problems where we have coverage, see Signal issues / no service troubleshooting.

Device compatibility

Quick tip! Easily check your phone's compatibility with our network using the IMEI Status Check. No need to compare network frequencies or device lists!

Find the networks a T-Mobile device supports by checking your Device "Tech Specs" page (or, for non-T-Mobile devices, check with the manufacturer). If you want more radio frequencies/technologies, you must upgrade to a newer device.

You can also check out our 5G compatible phones or LTE band compatible devices.

To connect to the local network, your device must support both our network frequency (band) and the technology (5G, 4G LTE, 3G, 2G).

T-Mobile network frequencies & technology

You can check if your phone supports the T-Mobile frequencies below in order to connect on our network. This can get technical, so it's a lot simpler to just use the IMEI Status Check if you have the device already.

*Devices often support more frequencies than these, in order to roam on other domestic and international wireless networks. They are not needed on the T-Mobile network.

5G

Frequencies that can provide 5G: Band n71 (600 MHz) Band n41 (2.5 GHz) Band n260 (39 GHz) Band n261 (28 GHz)

With 5G, high amounts of data can be transmitted more efficiently than 4G LTE.

One of the ways T-Mobile is rapidly deploying 5G is integrating mid-band 2.5 GHz spectrum from Sprint.

Extended Range 4G LTE

Frequencies that can provide Extended Range LTE Band 12 (700 MHz) Band 71 (600 MHz)

Our Extended Range LTE signal reaches 2X as far and penetrates walls for 4X better coverage in-buildings than ever before.

4G LTE

Frequencies that can provide LTE: Band 2 (1900 MHz) Band 5 ;(850 MHz) Band 4 (1700/2100 MHz) Band 66 (Extension of band 4 on 1700/2100 MHz).

4G LTE offers fast download speeds, up to 50% faster speeds than 3G. See Data speeds.

Voice and data services only work at the same time when on you have VoLTE enabled on your device. Otherwise, LTE only provides data.

VoLTE ("Voice over LTE") VoLTE allows you to make and receive calls while connected to the LTE data network. It's available nationwide. Placing a call connects twice as fast. Switching between VoLTE and Wi-Fi Calling does not drop a call. What phones have VoLTE? All phones T-Mobile currently sells support VoLTE. To check if another phone supports it, use the IMEI Status Check. It will alert you if VoLTE or other LTE network features aren't supported. HD Voice HD Voice improves in-call voice quality for compatible phones on VoLTE. Voice call quality is more true-to-life, with less background noise. It automatically activates, if you and the person you're calling are both using supported phones on VoLTE. Enhanced Voice Services (EVS) EVS is another codec for HD Voice that further enhances call quality. It is available on specific device models, such as those made by Apple.



3G (UMTS/HSPA)

Frequencies that can provide 3G: Band 4 (1700/2100 MHz) and Band 2 (1900 MHz)

(1700/2100 MHz) and (1900 MHz) Voice and data services can work at the same time. You can use data while on a call.

2G (GSM, GPRS, EDGE)

Frequencies that can provide 2G: Band 2 (1900 MHz)

(1900 MHz) Voice and data services don't work at the same time when on 2G. You cannot use data while on a call.

*The T-Mobile network uses GSM network standards, and it's not a CDMA network.

International roaming

Our maps show coverage provided by T-Mobile in the U.S. T-Mobile partners with other providers who provide roaming in other countries. Check out where you are covered when Traveling Abroad.

**Qualifying postpaid plan and capable device required. Taxes additional; usage taxed in some countries. Voice and text features for direct communications between 2 people. Communications with premium-rate (e.g., 900, entertainment, high-rate helpline) numbers not included. Calls from Simple Global countries, including over Wi-Fi, are $.25/min (no charge for Wi-Fi calls to US, Mexico and Canada). Coverage not available in some areas; we are not responsible for our partners’ networks. Standard speeds approx. 128 Kbps. Not for extended international use; you must reside in the US and primary usage must occur on our US network. Device must register on our US network before international use. Service may be terminated or restricted for excessive roaming..
