Re: So much for good will from the death star...............
That's a pretty ignorant assessment of T-Mobile coverage considering there are areas that they work better than their competitors and AT&T still relies on T-Mobile's network for voice/data in some parts of Cali. In fact, AT&T has quietly removed T-Mobile roaming in parts of LA leaving some AT&T customers with no service at their homes where there used to be.
AT&T hides domestic roaming Alpha Tags so your display always says 'AT&T," even when roaming on another carrier.
Wireless coverage varies from town to town and block to block. If T-Mobile was as bad as you claim, I wouldn't use them.
Verizon and Sprint work well in many areas too. In fact, it's Verizon who wins awards for coverage and call quality; not AT&T.
Blanket assessments of a national provider that we make from our small corner of society do nothing really but expose our ignorance.
Let's try this exercise:
______________ sucks as a wireless provider!!
(Enter in: AT&T, Verizon, Sprint Nextel, T-Mobile, Alltel, USCC etc. depending on location, user preferences, user experience or lack of, natural bias, ignorance and a dash of common sense) | |

| Um not sure where you are are but I only know one person with t-mobile but it sucks. He loses reception in his house, with 3 bars, this weekend his voice mail randomly reset to the guy who slowly speaks out the number and he gets no wireless internet on his razor v3 although my ATT old razr v3 and razr v3xx both get it and the xx is 3g.
Att does not hide roam tags. I live in buffalo, ny and go to Canada often, my message changes to Rogers wireless.
My dad is on his second verizon phone from work, both are awful, the cripple bluetooth is a joke cant transfer a picture over it WHY? His new phone has no reception issues but forcing you to buy everything from get it now stinks. | |

| You know someone with T-Mobile and it sucks? I'm sure it does for him and possibly others in his immediate area.
My point is that all the carriers suck somewhere. T-Mobile is a national provider like the other 3 so quantifying a national providers total quality on a handful of sour user opinions isn't valid. On the flip side, my good experience with their local network does not mean they work well everywhere either and I'm willing to admit that openly.
Do a google search on each provider with the word sucks next to them. You'll see thousands of negative posts attributed to each of them. Everyone of them is just as passionate about their distaste with X carrier as the next.
In my post, I said AT&T does not display DOMESTIC roaming partner Alpha Tags. Rogers is not domestic to us so that is why you see it.
I don't use Verizon anymore, but as user preference dictates, some could care less about the ability to transfer pics over BT. I like to, but I don't think most users worry too much about that stuff otherwise VZW wouldn't be selling as well as they do and wouldn't have the low churn rates that they post quarterly. | |
