The carrier says its 5G network covers 20,000% more people than AT&amp;T and Verizon&#8217;s 5G networks.<\/p>\n<p>T-Mobile is also touting that its 5G network covers more rural areas than its competition, and that it&#8217;ll work indoors and outdoors, whereas as other carriers&#8217; 5G networks may have trouble penetrating indoor locations.<\/p>\n<p>As for pricing, T-Mobile touts that a 5G mobile plan will cost the same as its current 4G LTE mobile plans.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>So far, there are only two phones offered by T-Mobile that will connect to its 5G network, including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/samsung-galaxy-s10-5g-available-to-buy-2019-5\">the Samsung Galaxy S10 5G<\/a>, and the OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren. We&#8217;ll surely see a significant bump in 5G-capable smartphones in 2020.<\/p>\n<p>T-Mobile&#8217;s nationwide 5G network works on the longer range low-band 600MHz spectrum, which means it won&#8217;t be as fast as the ultra-fast gigabit speeds that have been associated with 5G networks.
