Who has T-mobile?

[weaktwos]

Since Nextel is lagging on the bluetooth enabled phones, as well as a good internet plan, I've been contemplating ditching the Nextel phone and moving to T-mobile. They have some nice promotions on gprs enabled phones...also they would be capable of International use.

The kicker is with these promotions, I can get much more of what I want for a little less per month. Of course Nextel's cellular service has been pretty darned kick ass, insofar as reception.

Who has T-mobile, and what do you think?

A friend of mine has T-mobile & used his phone last year on his visit to Scotland...but he tried it at my house and the service wasn't any better than my crappy Cingular so I didn't decide to switch. Even my new phone that has access to the better AT&T GSM network now only is slightly better at my house (better other areas though)...however I've been told that having a stucco house, let alone right by a power pole, doesn't help for any cell service...my new phone can be enabled for global if needed with AT&T Global since it's tri-band phone...no Bluetooth, but I got my tri-band GSM phone as a free upgrade since my other phone was 2 yrs old...

That probably doesn't help you much, but that's my knowledge of T-mobile... :)

the_lone_banger has it and she HATES it.

Dropped calls, never-received calls, bad reception, weird text things, etc., etc., etc.

What model phone does she have?

[clemidia.livejournal.com]

Hmm--she's had two, I think. All I know is they weren't flip phones. Smallish regular types?

And she called it "Ghetto phone."

Heh.

I have T Mobile. In this part of the country, I don't have any issues with roaming. I have no dropped calls, compared to Sprint PCS who I had before. The rates seem to be reasonable, and I've had no problems with billing.

Their commercials annoy me, but otherwise they are fine.

Well, that sucks.

Round these parts...

Sprint is a great choice... verizon and sprint both have good networks here, and both offer bluetooth-enabled phones. However, Sprint phones can be "semi-licitly" used as unlimited data modems at 144kbps, and you can get the magnificent Treo 650 to work as a "semi-licit" data connection over bluetooth to a laptop/etc.

However, I have no idea if in your area either of those carriers have good networks, never having tried using my phone there.

Well, Nextel merged with Sprint, or at least they are trying to. If their joint product provides a good internet solution, maybe I would stick around.

If you're patient, yeah... but I've heard figures of around 18 months quoted as the time when they'll be able to even start integrating their services technically... and it'll be a tough integration since they are so different (CDMA1x for sprint and iDEN for nextel)
