About T-Mobile's Network

T-Mobile operates the largest 5G network in the United States, covering over 325 million people across all 50 states. After merging with Sprint in 2020, T-Mobile gained access to Sprint's 2.5GHz mid-band spectrum, which has been the foundation of their rapid 5G expansion. T-Mobile's 5G network uses three spectrum bands: 600MHz (Extended Range 5G for wide coverage), 2.5GHz (Ultra Capacity 5G for speed), and mmWave (for ultra-dense urban areas).
