Tell me about T-Mobil

[BJB]

We have Verison now and have had for 15 yrs. prices go up and quality goes down. Wife is wanting to check out T-Mobil. And history out there on service and coverage

[xjsnake]

Look at Page Plus. No contract and Verizon service without the price.

We use Straight Talk. ATT service/$39.00 a month unlimited everything. Very happy,I will never sign another cell phone contract!

I use Mobil1 myself.  :rofl:

I switch from AT&T to T-Mobile and have been happy.

Had T-Mobile for years, never again.

I had T-Mobile for 6+ years.  First when I lived in Washington State and then when I moved to Tennessee.  The prices of their plans and the ability to stay off of a contract was wonderful when I had them.  The service was good as long as you are in a decent sized area, in the Knoxville / Clinton area the service was fine for me.  I only switched away from them because I didn't get service where I work in Oak Ridge.

Don't let the coverage maps fool you, t-mobile has horrible coverage away from larger cities. Our company uses t-mobile. I had to buy a pay as you go verizon phone to be able to talk to customers once I got off the interstate.

Coverage even on the interstate is not great. They are 5 years behind Verizon in coverage in my opinion

I have been considering T-Mobil. Few months ago Cnet had an article that T-Mobil was changing the entire Wireless game with the no contract, 50 bucks a month unlimited talk, text and web. Then in late December they had another article which also came up on Yahoo and a couple of other news sites that starting sometime soon T-Mobil would begin buying out contracts, giving a free phone and some other things. Then a few days ago I read on the Financial sites that T-Mobil may buy Sprint. I have been using Sprint so long I cant remember when I started. If t-Mobil were to buy Sprint I dont see them offering the Sprint customers the same deal. Our buyout is $300 per phone, we have four phones on this account. The only thing that is keeping me from moving (Or I would have moved already) is Sprint doesnt have a cap on their unlimited web, most of the others do. I use my cell as a WAP and also tether using Foxfi. On the road 5GB wouldnt last me a day.

I use a Tracfone that had T Mobil as the service provider. Coverage was really poor. I switched to an AT&T configured phone and it's night and day.

[superduty]

My wife has T-Mobile on her work phone.  Terrible coverage if you ever get out of a highly populated area.

[peejman]

We switched from Verizon to Sprint due to Verizon's habitual shafting of existing customers.  Coverage and service is ok.  Not quite as good as Verizon out in the sticks, but not enough to matter to me.

I live on a mountain with bad coverage an T-moble is on par with AT&T an Verizon... From what I can tell they are using AT&T towers.

[BJB]

Thanks for all the input, we went to T-Mobil and are currently doing a trial run (2 weeks) to make sure that they work for our area. Price is awesome, we have 2 new IPhones unlimited text talk and data and we are only paying $120. Customer service was very good. We will see how the service is within the next 2 weeks. If this pans out they will be putting a hurt on Verizon. Found out the spent 40million to rent towers from Verizon and at&t.

When did ST start offering unlimited for $40 a month? It's been $45.

 

Also Tmobile is pretty cheap but coverage can be bad depending on where you live. I got my son on a tmobile plan since he's more of a texter than talker. $30 a month 100 mins, unlimited text and 5GB data. Bought him a nexus and got a free tmobile sim. Works well for him

Had t-mobile for a day. Had to stand in one certain spot in the driveway to connect. Switched to straight talk, which in my area is carried by Verizon.
