Is T-Mobile worth another try?

Alright so I ported last night. Still waiting for the port to actually occur...both numbers are still working. They told me to refill the T-Mobile account before porting so hopefully it all transfers correctly.

Finally got the port process started. Go Phone reps kept giving me the wrong account number since it was originally a post-paid plan. Finally had the T-mobile rep conference with att and they got it sorted out. Incoming calls/text are still going to ATT but that usually happens for a while.

So far so good everything working now so far. Streamed about and hour of the good the bad and the ugly with google movies over LTE today. Not a stutter at all.

How's this for funny. I liked T-Mobile so much that I now literally work for T-Mobile. Seriously...I start training on Monday. Loving unlimited data.

I work for T-Mobile as a rep and I love it. Great pay, great benefits and the people I work with are awesome.
Need any advice or have questions let me know.

I switched about 3 weeks ago to T-Mobile. Needless to say, the service is okay. It doesn't touch Verizon in any aspect. My coverage indoors is pretty pathetic and disappointing. Overall I'm not satisfied with T-Mobile

Switched from AT&T about 2 months ago or so. Could not be happier with the switch. Great service all around.

I'm upset with the LTE coverage in my city. Their maps say the city is covered with LTE. There are maybe 3 or 4 main roads in the entire city with a trace of LTE on them. Very disappointing and my phone drops to E sometimes on my road which is in the heart of the city. They better build a better network or more people will leave.

As with ANY carrier your mileage will vary depending on area. No carrier is perfect, but T-Mobile is better than Sprint and working on upgrading the rest. You have to remember, it wasn't that long ago that they had no LTE anywhere. They've made amazing progress in a short amount of time.

At least you can leave T-Mobile and not worry about being gouged for early termination fees. If the coverage is poor in your area, can you switch to a different provider, and then maybe reconsider T-Mo if and when their coverage improves? You could probably switch to AT&T easily for now without having to buy a new phone.

So it looks like it works just fine in all my usual areas. I can't really drive all over the place just to test it but it seems to be working well. Places where I had literally nothing with the S4 GPE now have at least H.

Do you think the your improved Tmobile reception was due to your Ultra GPE having better radio antennas than your S4 GPE and Nexus 4? Or was it Tmobile upgraded their infrastructure? Maybe both?

Although tmobile doesn't have an etf which is $350 max on other carriers, keep in mind that if you decide to leave and bought the phone on their payment plan, that the balance which could exceed $600 becomes due.

Oh yeah, that's true. I got my Nexus 5 from Google, so that's something I wouldn't have to worry about.
