For those who don\u2019t know, Twigby\u2019s longstanding network partner was Sprint. Sprint however informed us that they would be shutting down their network by the end of December 2021. With that, we had no other choice but to find another suitor for our customers. We wanted to give our customers the most value for their dollar. That is why we worked tirelessly to strike a deal with the nation\u2019s largest and most reliable network. Sprint did inform us at a later time that they had extended our access until March 30th<\/sup>. This will be the final date.<\/p>\n

We will be using a new network partner. This is the reason that customers with compatible phones will need a new SIM card and customers with incompatible phones will need a new phone. <\/p>\n

Who is this mystery network partner?<\/h1>\n

You may be wondering \u201cwhy do they not say the name of the network partner?\u201d. That is a fair question. To be honest, contractually we cannot publicize their name. Many would assume this is because they do not want everyone to know that you can get their coverage at a much lower price outside of their retail stores. With this, we must adhere to the agreement in place and not speak to their name. Yet rest assured, it is the nation\u2019s largest most reliable network.<\/p>\n

Is the new network that Twigby uses REALLY the best in the nation?<\/h1>\n

Twigby\u2019s new network partner is known for being consistently rated the highest in coverage, speed, and overall reliability. According to JD Power, a research firm that analyzes consumer data to produce rankings, reviews, and reports, the network ranks highest in their studies \u2013 achieving the fewest network quality problems in call quality, messaging quality, and data quality. The network has also received the highest number of JD Power awards in network quality compared to other providers.<\/p>\n

You\u2019re still probably wondering if Twigby\u2019s new network is actually the nation\u2019s largest and most reliable network, as claimed. Let us break it down for you a bit more.<\/p>\n

#1 in Coverage<\/h1>\n

The reliable coverage is one of the main reasons people choose this network. Covering 70% of the United States with 4G LTE, Twigby\u2019s new network partner comes out on top. AT&T follows with 68% and T-Mobile with just 62%. The difference in coverage percentage may not sound like a huge difference but it can have a real impact in rural areas. Don\u2019t take our word for it? The FCC created a coverage map using real data. Check it out for yourself here<\/a> to see the differences in coverage across the U.S. You\u2019ll notice that Twigby is now using the carrier that shows the most coverage throughout the United States.<\/p>\n

Fastest Speeds in the Country<\/h1>\n

Who says you have to compromise data speed for great coverage? Not at Twigby, not when we\u2019re covered by the nation\u2019s best network. Slow data speeds can interrupt your navigation to your next stop during a busy day, Facetime calls, etc. According to RootMetrics<\/a>, the network\u2019s data speeds has come out on top for 16 consecutive semiannual reports. This includes the first half of 2021.<\/p>\n

Worried about 5G? Don\u2019t be<\/h1>\n

T-Mobile claims that they are the largest 5G network and we were excited to test their network. However, we found that our customers would lose a good chunk of coverage on a nationwide basis. 5G is still a work in progress. 5G still needs time to expand across the country to become available to everyone. The only real advantage to 5G is speed, which could lead to higher cell phone bills as they use more data. Until then, 4G is what matters and it still provides ample speed.<\/p>\n

Our new carrier partner has the best 4G network, and it\u2019s building 5G to be just as good. 5G sounds cool, but we don\u2019t know when you\u2019ll really need it. Overall, 5G is bit more hype at the present time.<\/p>\n

What our Customers Think of our New Network<\/h1>\n

There is much to be loved about the new network. However, we think it’s best if you heard it from fellow Twigby customers instead of us. These customer\u2019s previously used Sprint\u2019s network and were kind enough to take a survey letting us know their thoughts on the new network. Click here to see what other customers think of the new network.<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Twigby\u2019s new carrier partner continues to prove it\u2019s the best in overall performance, network reliability, and call performance. RootMetrics<\/a> findings help confirm this. We know getting the best network can come with a hefty price, but not at Twigby. With our new network and pricing combined, Twigby provides the best value in wireless. Get great reliability, strong speeds, and rapid 5G expansion \u2013 all at an affordable price from Twigby.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
