Hopefully, the existing mobile players will be largely excluded if it comes down to scrapping Sprint for parts--whether it happens by incentivizing a "new" player entering the market, or heavily regulating the spectrum the Big Three buy (kinda like the band 13 spectrum Verizon got) to make it a...

I for one hope this merger doesn't go through. 4 to 3 i.e. less competition? No thanks.

Chex313, make sure you/your daughter test the service inside buildings too.

There's no better way to gauge coverage than what you plan to do.

Use as many coverage maps as possible to try to gauge what TMO's coverage is going to be like for you. Try TMO's official coverage map (which is often incorrect very optimistic, especially whenever it shows "fair" coverage,) opensignal.com, and Mint Mobile's coverage map. Mint is a separate...

This opens the door for phone manufacturers to raise prices. TMO prefers to keep EIPs at, what, $30 per month? 30x36=1080. Add in an "affordable" $100 down-payment: $1180. Add in more, like they're doing right now because financing is capped to $720 or whatever...you get the point. TMO didn't...

Three year contracts truly are Uncarrier (just don't look north of the border...)

Apparently so. I've seen people claiming to be kicked off for 3-5 hours of daily usage.

The only place TMO has a native 850 MHz LTE network is Myrtle Beach, SC.

Apparently they have a...limited definition of unlimited. I have seen people complaining about being cut off for excessive talk usage. Last I checked, 'reasonable' wasn't numerically defined anywhere.

Mint is a bad idea, given OP's 2-6 hours of talk time per day.

Have you tried the T-Force/email to the CEO's office support options? It shouldn't take all that, but apparently it's a normalized part of "award winning customer service" these days. If TMO coverage/speeds are good for you, check out MVNOs--especially if you don't need unlimited on all lines...

Oh, this affects AT&T accounts too? I thought Verizon/AT&T (and Sprint?) iPhone ordering systems were different than TMO's so they weren't affected.

https://www.t-mobile.com/customers/6305378821 Maybe their next UnCarrier move could be about better protecting customer data.What is this, the third breach involving TMO?

Makes sense to me. They want to get rid of free 1080p, so they're pulling shenanigans like this...and introducing a new plan with no known HS video add-on. Uncarrier.
