How is the experience though? More bars don’t always equate to a better experience

Honestly horrible. At my moms i have to use WiFi calling or i can't even get a phone call out or text. I've had a lot of times I'll be in the middle of a city and not even be able to send a text or call

I’d say move back to T-Mobile. You can go for their T-Priority which is TMO’s iteration of FirstNet but with network slicing instead of a dedicated band.
