story category T-Mobile Launches 3G in Vegas
2nd quarter reports look good
(old news - 12:09PM Thursday Aug 07 2008)
tags: business · wireless · T-Mobile US
T-Mobile has launched 3G services in Las Vegas after investing over $37 million in spectrum and infrastructure in the area. Vegas is the second market to see T-Mobile’s 3G service (after NYC) but the company says it is on track to launch 3G networks in 20 markets before the end of the year. The business posted 2nd quarter reports that show an additional 668,000 customers have been added to their service. They hope that the deployment of new 3G markets later this year will increase total annual subscriptions considerably.

no iPhone

It is nice to see that there will finally be another GSM 3G option here in the US. I only wonder what the unique spectrum allocation will do to phone availability. I know I would buy an unlocked 3g iPhone at $600+ if it had been compatible with TMO's 3g deployment.

Prepaid Rates?

Does anyone know what T-Mobile's rates are for 3G service? And is there a prepaid service?

I haven't found the right search keyword.

It's the same as their standard data plan. 19.99/mo (if you have a voice plan) for unlimited internet + hotspots.

Re: Prepaid Rates?

Thank you for that!

So T-Mobile's Internet-only plans are $40 per month (compared with AT&T's capped $20 per month prepaid), and $50 per month with a data card (compared with Millenicom's $60 per month with no credit check and no contract).

How about a 3G map? Or does their coverage suck so badly that the 3G (not GSM) coverage maps are an epic embarrassment and being hidden by TM PR Dept?

If you haven't realized, TMO doesn't release anything until it's quite solid, including their 3G maps. They haven't even been heavily advertising it.

3G Coverage Maps

@ PAT:

I don't believe VZ, AT&T or Sprint give actual real world 3G coverage map that shows signal strength. All they have are rate maps.

T-Mobile is no exception at this point but I wouldn't put it past them to come out with one. They are pretty honest about where their voice network shines and doesn't shine.

Everybody has 3g coverage maps on their websites.

Oh wait TMobile doesn't sorry, never mind.

T-Mobile has 3G in 2 markets at this time.

Will it come out in the future? Quite possible, but at this time, they would still be more focused on actually getting the 3G network up and operational.

Really? Do you call blanketed shades of blue and red real coverage maps? Those maps don't show signal strength or indicate which areas are strong or weak. They just tell you approximately where their cell sites broadcast the signal.

Real coverage maps give you street level coverage. So far, no carrier has published 3G street level maps.
