I've been using Straight Talk for years now and I've always bought phones from Ebay and activated through ST. The past phones I've gotten were AT&T network based and I've never had network issues until recently when I bought a TMobile Samsung S8. I can make calls and texts but I miss a lot of inbound calls or I won't receive a text until hours after its sent (not all the time but daily). I live in a large city so I'm confused how TMobiles network could be so shotty. I need to get a solution in case there's an actual emergency and someone needs to contact me. I'd hate to buy a brand new AT&T based phone just to solve the problem so I'm wondering what options I have. If I did buy a phone off Ebay how would I know I'm getting strictly AT&T because most of them include TMobile in the description of the listing? Any help would be appreciated
