Moto X - the final straw that has broken the Camel's back

Is there wi-fi where your parents live? Some phones can do wi-fi calling on T-Mo, maybe that will at least make up a little for having none fithere

That would solve the problem, my phone is used as a hotspot while I am there because they do not have Wifi

I miss T-Mobile. Magenta or not, for all the years I had T-Mobile (think Powertel > Voicestream > T-Mobile) they were great. The customer service was freaking amazing as well. I left for AT&T over coverage issues after they did not renew their roaming contract with one another. AT&T was so incredibly inept that I left and went back to T-Mobile for a time before finally caving in for Verizon specifically for the GNex. I will say it'd be nice to be back on T-Mo, it's a shame that as soon as you leave any major metro area area around here, you're stuck on Edge. They're awesome in Florida. They're awesome around LA. Travel anywhere remotely rural and you're screwed.

Sprint suffers from the same coverage issues. If AT&T hadn't left such a bad taste in my mouth, I'd give them another shot. It sucks too, because we all know what it's like to tinker with a CDMA phone.

:banghead: Even if it's the Nexus 5?

Sent from my XT1060 using AC Forums mobile app

I use the Nexus 4 on at&t and I am able use Google Wallet, Tap and Pay and all without any issue.

at&t branded devices are one thing, but unbranded devices are another and as much as it probably irks at&t unbranded devices are free of their controls.

As to VZW their coverage is excellent but at&t is not too far behind either. I work in Alabama from time to time and at least at the office both VZW and at&t work well.

Lastly as to history my colleague has been with T-Mobile when it was known as Omnipoint Communications and still has am Umbrella they sent him as a gesture of good will because the service was so bad.

My history with at&t is even longer and dates back to McCaw Cellular however the one thing I have learned about the wireless industry is that history means nothing, it is all about what have you (the customer) done (i.e. paid) for me (the wireless provider) today.

when i have the chance i like to check my dbm in various areas of nyc.. i would say my average in the 5 boroughs is -98 dbm... at 129.00 including taxes per month i would rather be off contract with the same dbm.. I will take my chances with reception in the open lands..

all i know is that i will be saving at least 600.00 a year.
