Parker Live News from the Parker Strip since 2009.
T-Mobile is doubling the capacity of its Parker, AZ tower, upgrading ahead of the winter season when Parker’s resident numbers swell to many times the number of full-time residents. The work has been carried out with a 200-foot crane near the intersection of 8th Street and Desert Avenue in Parker, and affecting the signal for T-Mobile customers for many miles around.

Bye bye ATT welcome T-Mobile
AT&T’s new tower with LTE speeds just went in last October.
Why does it seem verizon does not get good service there now?
AT&T has good service here now Michael
hallelujah even though I prefer not to be bothered on vacation
Debbie Bazilius now I can come to parker
Michael Sevillano woo hoo

Now if verizon would have service up-river on weekends. Frustrating
Are they making it so tmobile customers have 4g in parler? Probably not.

Never gonna happen
Plzzzzzz just for a visit… I have gas money ????
I’ll see you next week
Fine… Lol
All upgrades being done to T-Mobile Towers are with 4G LTE. Yes you will have 4G LTE in that area once conpleted. It is also located within an area where T-Mobile has licensing for newer technology that allows the towers to shoot at least twice the distance they currently do. Enjoy!
Those are band 12 antennas. Or what T-Mobile calls Extended LTE. You might need a new phone to use it though.
I have a galaxy s4. I just started getting 4g in Havasu 5 or 6 months ago.
Throw away your phone
Talk to your neighbors!!!
When will this be completed and go into affect?
Not certain about that John. You may need to call T-Mobile about that. I know it took a while for AT&T to bring theirs online even after the work up the tower was completed.
