Curious if anyone else is tempted to make the jump to T-Mobile. If anyone goes through with it today, how was the process? I'm still trying to figure out, what the hook is... deal seems too good to be true
Im edging closer to giving T-Mobile a whirl. I still have unlimited Data so I am already paying full retail for my phones. But I would save 25.00 dollars a month and get unlimited talk as a bonus. Its very tempting - I just need to figure out if the coverage in the areas I frequent is worthwhile. If so its a no brainer.

Not even thinking of moving to t mobile as their coverage here is crap. Have been on VZW family plan forever and wouldn't even consider t mobile. Their service here is atrocious and worse in surrounding rural areas. I am staying with VERIZON which has always worked for me.
T-Mobile's fine as long as you don't go off the main roads in life. The places you might be most likely to need service in an emergency you'll have none.
Unless you live near a Major road, in a major city or near a dense populated area, and live atleast 3 stories up... Go ahead... Switch to TMOBILE
Thats all find and dandy, and in a few weeks when TMOBILE ANNOUNCES they are merging with SPRINT..... Ya.... Good luck with that. I just left SPRINT for Verizon because that Network is a HOT MESS....and When SPRINT and TMOBILE Merge end 2014/Beginning 2015.... Merging LTE/HSPA and CDMA & 5 BANDS OF SPECTRUM???? Hahaha Good Luck....
I switched. I had been on Verizon for the past 8 years or so, I think, and just got tired of the extremely mediocre mobile data speeds in the Silicon Valley. 5-6 MBPS on 4G LTE in the center of the tech world--just ridiculous. And I kept getting kicked down to 3G, which is <1 MBPS. I was also irked by the way they abruptly changed the upgrade policy from 18 months to 24 months--I was anticipating for several months the ability to upgrade my phone this past October, and then sorry! Out of luck. I spoke to customer service and was escalated to a manager level, but they basically said there was nothing they could do as far as grandfathering me in for an upgrade. My contract ends at the beginning of March, so I just figured that enough was enough, bought a Nexus 5 from Google, and started up with T-Mobile, initially just to test things out in the Silicon Valley. Now that I've used it for a couple of weeks here and in San Francisco, I'm satisfied enough about the data speeds (10-12 MBPS on HSPA and 30-40 MBPS on LTE) that I'm going to cancel VZW and eat the ETF. Since I bought my phone outright, I don't qualify for T-Mobile's offer to cover the ETF, but it really doesn't matter that much to me, since this late in my contract, the ETF costs about as much as one bill.
One of the nice things about T-Mobile is if it turns out to be horrible reception in areas where I need it but haven't been to yet, then I can simply cancel the service without any penalty, and then try AT&T. But I am optimistic about T-Mobile's ongoing coverage expansion, especially after buying that large block of 700 MHz spectrum from Verizon recently.
Options are nice. I had tmobile for a few years and their voice/call quality is nothing short of excellent. GSM is good at that. If either AT&T or T-Mo had Verizon style coverage I'd switch in a New York minute. Coverage is what keeps me with Verizon and that's about it. I hike in the Cascades a lot and friends on AT&T almost always lose signal. I have coverage , they don't, end of story. Better voice quality is worthless if theres no connection. Its a phone first.If AT&T worked around here I would be on a GSM carrier because there are so many more device options.
I tried sprint after leaving tmobile. What a huge mistake that was! I couldn't get rid of them fast enough. Worst network ever! Paid WTF just to get out. What a joke. Came to Verizon and the coverage never stops amazing me. Their voice quality is decent. I don't get complaints from callers. The coverage is worth it.Thats all find and dandy, and in a few weeks when TMOBILE ANNOUNCES they are merging with SPRINT..... Ya.... Good luck with that. I just left SPRINT for Verizon
