Re: Switch
said by kg4icg  :
Hey just a little note. T Mobile is AT&T, so the switch you made from AT&T is still AT&T. Talk about an oxy-moron, no pun intended except to AT&T. I have been with Sprint PCS for Years and i'm not about to switch, no matter who wants to send me a new phone.
T-Mobile = Deutsche Telekom AG
Deutsche Telekom AG = AT&T??
The history of AT&T (take from »www.att.com/history/ )
The history of AT&T is in large measure the history of the telephone in the United States. AT&T's roots stretch back to 1875, with founder Alexander Graham Bell's invention of the telephone. During the 19th century, AT&T became the parent company of the Bell System, the American telephone monopoly. The Bell System provided what was by all accounts the best telephone service in the world. The system broke up into eight companies in 1984 by agreement between AT&T and the U.S. Department of Justice. From 1984 until 1996 AT&T was an integrated telecommunications services and equipment company, succeeding in a newly competitive environment. Today, AT&T is rapidly evolving from a company that handles mostly long-distance voice calls to a company that provides data and voice communications over any distance through its two operating units, AT&T Business and AT&T Consumer.

So I hope you were kidding (or maybe I read it wrong)

I was going to note that before while giving the histories of the two countries, but I didn't bother because I felt either way, none was T-Mobile.
