Wireless use is booming
More than 80 percent of all Americans subscribe to cell phone service. People of all ages rely increasingly on their cell phones to talk, text, send photos, search the Internet, and more. To handle the ever-growing volume of calls and transmission of information, the capabilities of wireless networks must continually improve. It takes a robust physical network of antennas, phone lines and equipment to successfully make those wireless connections.
Cell phone use overtakes landlines
In 2006, cell phones became the predominant way Americans communicate by phone. That’s when minutes of cell phone use began exceeding the minutes of use on landline phones.
Many people are now dropping their landlines altogether in favor of their cell phones. U.S. government statistics indicate that 13.6 percent of wireless customers in the U.S. rely on their cell phone as their only phone—they’ve “cut the cord” and gone entirely wireless.
This dramatic increase in cell phone use can put a strain on wireless networks. Unless the networks expand to keep pace with increasing consumer demand, consumers may experience dropped calls, poor call clarity and spotty coverage.
You deserve reliable coverage
We rely on our cell phones to stay connected, which means we need seamless wireless coverage. And great wireless coverage takes a well-designed, robust network of wireless facilities across the country. To meet the growing demand for wireless communications, T-Mobile and other wireless carriers must continually expand their networks of cell sites across the country.
