PHONE SIGNAL QUESTION?

So on my phone, where the carrier name is displayed by he signal strength, there is only 'A' there is no 'T-mobile' shown. I am out of state, if it means anything. I own an iPhone 5c.

Picture: Instead on the AT&T shown, there is just a 'A'. I'm very confused.

    Hi so as you are out of state you have no phone carrier prepared to take your phone system. that is what always makes me laugh about the americans and this free for all idea of phone and data service providers.

    never the twain shall meet each not talking to one another.

    what a rubbish country when it comes to interconnectivity.

    so unless you go and buy a local sim card wher every you are it will not work. typical rubbish american system

    Here in the states we access other towers. Unless you are on one of those pay as you go cricket type phones if you got signal you got phone. No new sim card needed.
