Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / T-Mobile / January 2005Coverage in Lutsen MN
Does T-Mobile have any roaming coverage in Lutsen, MN? Do I need an 850 MHz phone?  SignatureMike Schumann Here's a thought: Go to www.tmobile.com, click coverage, enter your ZIP and get your answer. TMo does not use the 850MHx band only 1900. From:Mike Schumann mike-nospam@traditions-nospam.com > Does T-Mobile have any roaming coverage in Lutsen, MN? > > Do I need an 850 MHz phone? > > -- > Mike Schumann Thanks for your useless reply. There are many places in Northern WI and MN where people have reported to have successfully roamed on Dobson, which is not shown on the T-Mobile coverage map. I was hoping to get some first hand information from someone who had actually been there.

Anythings possible but according to the coverage map on compass, there is no roaming coverage but stranger things have happened. > > Does T-Mobile have any roaming coverage in Lutsen, MN? > > > > Do I need an 850 MHz phone? > > > > -- > > Mike Schumann Looks like there is no GSM coverage in Lutsen. We get coverage in northern MN with our T-Mobile SIM in an unlocked Siemens S56. To see if Lutsen is covered, go to www.gsmworld.com. Click on GSM roaming at the top. Click on GSM Coverage maps. Click on United States. Click on Dobson, Coverage Map. Lutsen is east of Taconite Harbor where the coverage supposedly ends. Our Cabin is at Brimson (which is no coverage), and we use a Yagi Antenna pointed west, and it works. Does that phone support GSM 850? I've seen the Dobson map. Sometimes you can get lucky and the coverage area is better than published.

WAP won't work with Dobson, but will work with T-Mobile from this phone. Can't get the modem to work with either. > > The S46 is 1900 GSM and 850 TDMA > > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > work with T-Mobile from this phone.
