T-Mobile’s prepaid brand Metro will launch its 5G service for US prepaidthis Friday, Dec. 6th, the same day the company’s nationwide 5G service becomes available to T-Mobile customers.
T-Mobile will launch its nationwide 5G network today, but compatible 5G phones won’t be available with either T-Mobile or Metro until Dec. 6th. Metro will offer the Samsung Galaxy Note10+ 5G. T-Mobile will offer that phone as well as the OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren.
T-Mobile’s new “nationwide” 5G network covers 5,000 cities and towns across the country, 200 million people, and more than 1 million square miles. It uses low frequency bands that have the same coverage as 4G service, unlike mmWave 5G that can only cover small areas.
