First time in the USA.

All worked as planned. Made phone calls sent texts and used data. All worked well. But I found that I had a lot of dead spots in Michigan and Indiana where i had no service at all, is this normal after it switched to t-mobile. And a couple times to at&t. Thanks everyone.

Quite normal. I had dead spots in middle of Pennsylvania on Route 219 last Monday.

@mellondon Glad to hear that it's working. The fact that it will automatically switch between both providers is also a plus. Sounds like a one-off I wouldn't be to concerned.

Enjoy your trip!

Some times you may get a connection dependent on cell tower activity. Connectivity to a cell tower decreases in distance as more users are active.

Coverage depends on the networks. Phone should auto choose the best network. Good coverage is only in populated areas or well traveled routes.
