(WHSV) - Some T-Mobile customers in the Broadway area of Rockingham County are dealing with major service issues. In Early October a number of people in the Broadway and Fulks Run area reported dealing with service outages. That issue was eventually fixed but now people living in the rural area just north of the town are experiencing similar problems. https://www.whsv.com/2022/11/03/residents-report-more-t-mobile-service-issues-broadway-area/ -- (Please remove QRM to use the "From" address)

However, it has not materialized, and one big reason may be the surprising number of business customers signing up for mobile services. "The business segment is actually expanding," explained analyst Roger Entner, of Recon Analytics, during his weekly podcast. He said that a wide range of corporate customers are either buying phones for their employees or are paying for their employees' personal devices. https://www.lightreading.com/5g/t-mobile-verizon-and-atandt-find-surprise-growth-area-in-q3/d/d-id/781469

The wireless carrier, which has long prided itself on zigging where other providers zag, is picking up one of the practices of its rivals and charging a fee for any activations or upgrades, even those you handle yourself online. Previously, that kind of fee only applied to in-store interactions. https://www.tomsguide.com/news/t-mobiles-dollar35-activation-fee-explained-heres-when-youll-get-dinged
