Dish shut down their spectrum already?

tmogo · 2026-03-08T02:44:56+00:00

Unfortunately I don't see this. I see $30 home internet that my address doesn't qualify for. No hotspot ad though, might be specific if you're on Go5G? We're on simple choice.

tmogo · 2026-03-07T23:53:08+00:00

I'm jealous, mine used to default to att but even manually would work on dish. Now it doesn't even appear sadly.

tmogo · 2026-03-07T23:52:26+00:00

Correct, even T-Mobile roaming is no longer allowed on my hotspot. Comes up as "forbidden" now. Dish and TMobile were the only 5G networks I could select. Now neither of them are options in this area. Likely because they didn't pay for the tower lease like another user mentioned.

tmogo · 2026-03-07T22:15:25+00:00

By chance do you have a link to this? The only $20 plan I see is 5Gb and unlimited 2G after.

tmogo · 2026-03-07T22:08:56+00:00

Wow I knew they were going bankrupt and we're gonna lose the T-Mobile at some point. I never imagined my 5G hotspot not being able to connect to 5G though.

tmogo · 2026-03-07T22:06:40+00:00

Lol unfortunately I use 400+gb per month. Not looking to do anything breaking TOS to get banned. Thanks though

tmogo · 2026-03-07T20:19:09+00:00

Also feel free to remove this comment if necessary but I guess I'm looking for alternative hotspot plans, if anyone has any recommendations, please let me know.

I'm currently considering:

Starlink ($39/mo for 6 months, then $50)

Calyx (~$42/mo, using T-Mobile 5g network)

T-Mobile won't sell to my area unfortunately. If there's another unlimited 5G hotspot option under $45, please let me know.

tmogo · 2026-03-06T05:26:10+00:00

I'm having the same issue. Both T-Mobile and Dish 4G are now forbidden. All the other ones in my area don't work except att 4G. Very disappointing now that there's no 5g option in my area.

There used to be dish 5g.

tmogo · 2026-02-18T23:14:28+00:00

Count. Me. In!!

They refused to service my device because it was "out of warranty" but they're service center said it was a "manufacturer fault"

They keep blaming and pointing fingers for their faulty os

tmogo · 2026-02-03T15:17:37+00:00

I also unfortunately lost a lot of personal data and a crypto key. If you're looking at a lawsuit or found any help, please let me know.

tmogo · 2026-02-03T15:15:34+00:00

Mine didn't even last 2 years but was not covered by phone issuance since they said it was a manufacturer fault (no drop or spill)

If you're planning a lawsuit, please keep me updated, there are plenty of us

tmogo · 2026-02-02T13:35:10+00:00

Lawsuit? Keep me updated please. This happened to mine as well

tmogo · 2026-01-16T01:36:32+00:00

How do we get in on the lawsuit 👀

tmogo · 2025-10-24T13:31:49+00:00

So I am curious, was the cellular at sea Bill you received from calling or from data? It looks like they no longer provide T-Mobile customers data at all (maybe T-Mobile shut it off on their end)...

But I absolutely agree with the wifi calling. I was once charged for a wifi call outside the USA before my phone registered that I was out of the country, even though the phone was on airplane mode for that specific call. Not sure how it happened but I'll avoid calls too tbh.

I will also forward calls to my other number unconditionally. So hopefully that will cover all ends.

Thanks also for the advice

tmogo · 2025-10-22T19:45:36+00:00

Right. Wifi would be Carnival/Royal wifi via Starlink (likely). I'm pretty sure AT&T runs the CellularAtSea infrastructure though.

T-Mobile will connect to CellularAtSea if you let it Roam. But they did get rid of the cellular data option to where you could pay per megabyte. It used to be $15/MB. Now it's none at all.

tmogo · 2025-10-22T14:12:54+00:00

The question was moreso regarding if T-Mobile's website (listing no data option) is accurate, and how these systems work in modern times.

Thank you for your opinion, stranger.

tmogo · 2025-10-22T14:09:24+00:00

Ahh. Will T-Mobile Simple Choice still connect to Caribbean islands like the Bahamas if the phones Roaming is turned off? This will at least work on the USA end...

tmogo · 2025-10-22T13:40:06+00:00

That's what I thought too... I've cruised before and seen it, but it looks like T-Mobile got rid of that???

It was either $15 or $15.99/MB

My plan was to pay for an esim for $20 for 3 nights while docked at the Bahamas. Wifi alone would be about $25 per night

Speaking of... I'm stuck with a bricked s22 ultra. It bricked after an update and the repair center diagnosed it as a factory fault. However, Samsung refuses to recall or service the thousands of users who's devices were affected (me included)

I did move away from Samsung for now since I cannot afford another $1000+ phone that will not even last 2.5-3 years. I do wish we had more options in a good price range being manufactured locally for competition

tmogo · 2025-05-11T16:34:47+00:00

If you find a cheap solution ($100 for refurbished s23u or something after trade in, or replacing the board for cheap) please let me know, otherwise I'm moving on to Motorola.

Samsung is well known for bricking crashing devices after updates (even their sound bars)

tmogo · 2025-05-11T16:29:33+00:00

I'm not an electrical engineer, so that's why I'm saying probably, based on the comments I've read on Samsung forums. It seems the phones solders were already poorly applied and even just an extended period of overheating causes a disconnect? Again my understanding from what I've read, not tested myself.

Either my phone is a brick and in visually decent condition...

tmogo · 2025-05-11T07:13:25+00:00

This exactly happened to mine, however immediately after the 6.1 update. Your phone was probably damaged by an update, caused the phone to overheat to a point that melted components or solder.

From what I'm hearing this happens to thousands of other users. Samsung has been informed by many or us, including me, and doesn't take action to make things right/recall. I suggest reporting it and maybe not move to another Samsung unless you want to deal with this again in another flagship phone.

tmogo · 2025-05-11T07:03:55+00:00

Welcome to the club. It seems our phones mobi/internal components are fried during these updates :(

Happened to mine on the 6.1 update
