T-Mobile is facing heat after launching what some are calling an “out-of-touch” PR campaign, attacking FirstNet, the national emergency communications network that first responders in flood-ravaged Texas Hill Country are relying on to stay connected to save lives from the devastating flooding.
Independent journalist Breanna Morello found that T-Mobile took aim at FirstNet in an email blast to Capitol Hill staffers on July 8, which was also obtained separately by Texas Politics.

Trump Backed? If that is your selling point, I’m getting out of this contract as soon as I can
First Net is a network built for First Responders! Therefore first responders with T-Mobile phones, Verizion phones, BoostMobile phones…etc….. should be ALLOWED on the network as long as the provider builds phones with the appropriate software to work on First Net!
First Net should be required to follow the same rules as state P25 800 radio systems. These radio systems are built by a single radio vender but the other radio vender radios operate on the system as long as there build radios with the appropriate software. SAME SHOULD GO FOR FIRST NET!
