Restart Your Device
Restarting your device can often resolve minor glitches. Simply power off your phone and turn it back on, then check for signal bars.
Wi-Fi Calling Preferences
Change the Wi-Fi Calling preferences on your phone to ‘Cellular Preferred’ or ‘Cellular Only’. This helps in preventing Wi-Fi Calling issues from affecting the signal.

Make sure you’re using the cellular network by turning off Wi-Fi.
Set Network Mode to Auto
Go into your device’s settings and set the network mode to Auto to help your phone connect to the best available network.
Remove Cases or Covers
Sometimes phone cases or covers can interfere with signal reception. Remove them to see if it helps improve your signal.

For iPhones or iPads, reset the network settings by going to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Make sure your T-Mobile Carrier Settings are up-to-date. You can reference Apple Support for detailed steps.
Update Device Software
Ensure your device software is updated to the latest version available. Check for updates over Wi-Fi to make sure your phone is running smoothly.

Manually select networks your device can connect to. This can sometimes resolve connectivity issues.
