We’ve got the phones set to acquire most data over WiFi (books, podcasts, maps, news). However, because the lodge and the cabins have WiFi, we had access to both data and text / voice calling during our stay. We stayed at a cabin at Shawnee and had no cell signal. A large dead zone is Shawnee State Forest and Shawnee State Park. However there are still dead spots in Ohio where neither network has coverage. Having access to two networks has been handy and we’ve gotten access to more LTE (fast) networks than we had with Sprint alone. I’ve had the service since January and Deb’s had it for several weeks. It may change providers several times during the course of the day. If WiFi is not available, the phone will look for the fastest and strongest Sprint or T-Mobile signal. If the phone is connected to WiFi, it will use that for data and phone calls (both voice and text).
