Anyone deployed or have been deployed to Camp Lemonnier in Djibouti know if T-Mobile has coverage there?

Issue is that you'll need the right simcard.
My advice is if you need cell coverage for on-post and you are not issued one (many are), get a local phone for peanuts.
If you need to call home, skype, talkatone, facetime, etc all work just fine.

You can get a local phone “huawei” it’s a sprint or some other big name knockoff for super cheap at the exchange. They also sell SIM cards (and minutes) at the same stand. Or you can get WiFi if you have an Apple phone and use it in your clu, hooch, barracks, or tent depending on the berthing.

You have to buy local service. If you can use T-Moble on WiFi calling your should be good. I have Verizon and would calm to the states regularly while on WiFi. Also got a lot of spam calls too.
