Be on the lookout Orange County, you are getting some extended range LTE services from T-Mobile today. The Magenta carrier announced this morning that they are lighting up the 700MHz frequency to penetrate farther in range and deeper indoors. Locals living in Anaheim, Buena Park, Costa Mesa, Fountain Valley, Fullerton, Garden Grove, Huntington Beach, Irvine, La Habra, Laguna Nigel, Lake Forest, Mission Viejo, Newport Beach, Orange, San Clemente, Santa Ana, Tustin, Westminster and Yorba Linda should see the biggest boost in LTE reception. That gives you guys access to faster data speeds in areas that you might previously have been missing out.
In nine months, T-Mobile has aggressively rolled out airwaves known as 700 MHz in 170 major metro areas including cities such as Houston, Washington D.C. and Denver, so you can use your compatible phone to get great 700 MHz coverage while visiting friends and family in those cities.
Of course, you won’t see the perks of the extended range LTE unless your current device has support for it. Looking at the device list you should be covered if you picked up your device in the last year as it shows the Note 4, Note 5, Galaxy S6, Galaxy S6 Edge, LG G4, Nexus 6, HTC One M9 and a few other devices that weren’t flagships. What is semi interesting though, is that T-Mobile only lists the Apple iPhone 6s and 6s Plus as being compatible.
