I was at Walmart.com checking out T mobile phones, found one that I like, the T-Mobile Samsung T679 Exhibit II and it says it works in my area, but when I go to the T -mobile web site, it says they DON'T have service in my area. Are the phones from Wal Mart using different towers for service, any insight would be useful.
I checked it for your city, it appears coverage is very spotty, you'd probably switch on and off to roaming on AT&T's network.
Which on Monthly4G plans you don't have data on roaming.
It seems like the only towers that are from T-Mobile are on/along Interstate 64 and off to your west in Jasper.
You could try the phone and return it if doesn't give you the coverage you want, maybe they'll add a tower nearby in the future.
Walmart sez...T mobile phones... work in my area, but ...the web site says they DON'T...any insight would be useful.
You have a Walmart in Birdseye? I think the web site says you have coverage in town but not in the national forest. Maybe you have coverage near WalMart but not near Birdseye.
the Walmart.com site has a thing on there when you buy the phone to enter your zip code to see if it works in your area, that's where I got this info....Not a Wal Mart in this little ol' town of Birdseye,IN....lol
thinking I'm going to try the phone, and do what you said return if it doesn't work , it was a good deal on a smartphone, with the minimal package of $30 pay as u go, would have been a great deal, plus with wifi here at the house I wouldn't have to use any data

If you don't have service, you could hook your phone up to wifi for Wifi Calling.
Motorola Triumph's Speeds from Virgin Mobile^ Samsung Exhibit II 4G Speeds^
Just a heads up on this post.....this phone works great in my area so far, just got it yesterday and I have great signal, I found out it uses AT+T towers on the monthly pay as you go plans....and when I have wifi turned on, it automatically switces to wifi phone, (which also set up automatically), so I don't use any minutes....this thing is great so far....only bad thing was that I couldn't transfer my number from Net 10. Thanks to all the help!!
".and when I have wifi turned on, it automatically switces to wifi phone, (which also set up automatically), so I don't use any minutes" - You mean using a VOIP client? Not a Tmobile Wifi adapter, since, I think, it does not work on Prepaid.
