haha yea, I've stopped calling her cell, and just call her home. Text messages take 3ish hours to get to her, and she never gets picture messages. This isn't just T-Mo, it's through other providers too. |

I don't give a damn how good or fast it is. No wireless network is worth $.01/kilobyte or whatever the hell the ridiculous amount is that they charge. There's a difference between paying a premium for a useful service and just plain getting raped for every nickel and dime possible. |

Around here, and the places I go over the US, verizon sucks, T-mo and AT&T have always been better. My GF and here whole family has Verizon (here and in Iowa), but once their contract is up they are all switching to either AT&T or T-Mo. I takes 5 minutes just to call my GF because the calls never get through to her, it just rings and goes to VM. |

Or overpriced for the most reliable and fastest mobile network speeds available.
Of course YMMV in cases like this, and VZ might be the best provider where you live/work, but I don't think the statement that VZ's data network is the fastest or most reliable, overall, is borne out by the data. According to EVDOforums.com, Sprint has better coverage and speed, overall.

I guess what P. T. Barnum said was true... I pay $15/mo, *and* I don't get capped at 5 GB.

I am just sick of everyone playing the victim with telco's in highly competitive marketplace (mobile data/wireless). Competition and costs drive the market prices. If they were unreasonable then no one would buy them, since they have one of the largest customer bases I would say pricing is right on point.
Then again, people pay premium prices for water bottled in Iceland or Fiji and shipped to the US. Or as they used to say, 'Evian' is 'naive' spelled backwards.
Go figure. |

In my home town, university, and new apartment i get better coverage with tmobile than with att or verizon. Usually verizon gets coverage most places but it doesnt mean they have better coverage in those places than others. |
