Comments on news posted 2013-03-05 16:33:11: After AT&T's attempted takeover of T-Mobile was blocked by regulators, it didn't take T-Mobile long to re-embrace its role of industry upstart, launching a series of ad campaigns that took pot shots at AT&T. Now AT&T's returning the favor. ..

The Truth About T-Mobile?

That's why I went with T-Mobile, because it's cheaper than AT&T!

Can you get 100 voice minutes, unlimited texting, and 5GB 4G data with AT&T for $30? I don't think so! Yes, I'm using prepaid!

2x dropped calls

I don't think that's possible as compared to AT&T, that would imply complete inability to dial at all

AT&T Needs to get some facts checked...

I have T-Mobile and my calls don't "drop."
My friends on AT&T (who are now on Verizon) complained about dropped calls.
Infact when I did have AT&T, my calls dropped irrespective of having great reception.

Talk about being ridiculous.

Never had a call drop, and the quality is good.

... however I don't talk on it that much, mostly text and data.

Also on the $30 pre-paid plan.

No such thing as bad publicity

said by T-Mobile :

Glad they’re spending their money to print our name.

Proving once again that for corporations, the only bad publicity is no publicity.

What truth?

How did AT&T get these figures? Twice as much sounds like a gross over exaggeration. I don't know why people would believe these kind of ads.

Why are the not going with the obvious?

T-Mobile's network is fine... in the few places it actually has service. That's what AT&T should be going after... super limited coverage. AT&T has many times the Faux G coverage, and they should advertise that.

While it may true

... that T-Mobile's signals don't penetrate well at certain locations compared to the coverage I was used to with Sprint, this is AT&T's typical hyperbole.

I always get excellent speed and call quality with T-Mobile. I don't recall dropped or failed calls, though there's a very occasional failed text message... and yes.. I'm on prepaid... And very happy with them.

Dropped Calls

I agree there, but they only happen in 1 spot in my house. As far as data speeds HSPA+ on both(not LTE) T-Mobiles is quick, I'd say even faster than AT&T. And unlike AT&T, T-Mobile still offers Unlimited data, and not these stupid shared/limited data plans.

Re: 2x dropped calls

There are lies, damned lies, and statistics....

My wife has had ST (TMO) (prepaid no less) for 4 months and she hasn't dropped a single call, and data speeds are from 4-9 Mbps, and $46 all in. Her corporate discount would make the same plan $80 on T with a contract. Most people I know are on the TMO $30 plan, and they love it.

When I had AT&T, I had to stand out in my backyard to even make a call. Now I would like to find a person in Boston or New York Metro that can talk more than ten minutes without a drop on AT&T.

Even today I can tell which phone my reps are calling on. If it drops it's AT&T. Dropping on Verizon or TMO almost never happens. Sprint, it you can get a signal they are good w/ voice. Data is a nightmare. Nobody in corporate has Sprint anyways in my co, it's mostly VZW or T in the NEA and the ones on T want Verizon.

I'm more interested in why AT&T has cut ties w/ StraightTalk and now you can only get a TMO SIM. I hear they are ratcheting up their own MVNO ala Virgin/Boost, which means it will be more than $45..Knowing the orange monster probably $60-$65.

Re: The Truth About T-Mobile?

With T-Mobile, for $10/yr. I get all the voice, texting, and data that I want (hundreds & hundreds of minutes, none*, and none*) ...and that's the truth.

(*available, just don't want any)

We* don't care about the truth. Truth is not good marketing strategy.

*Not affiliate with at&t in anyway, shape or form.
