Just like the topic says is T-mobile a good or bad cellphone company thinking of switching to them but not if they suck ass. Ive had it with sprint.

chuk · 01-07-2004, 04:26 PM

They have naked people in their commercials, so they must be good.

$5 submissions · 01-07-2004, 04:27 PM

Take their wireless data/phone package. I used to use their WiFi hotspots at Starbucks back when I lived in the States. T1 speed up and down. Can't beat that.

arial · 01-07-2004, 04:27 PM

I've been using them for a few months, I've had no problems with them.

powerbubba · 01-07-2004, 04:48 PM

Verizon has the best overall coverage around with fewest dropped calls, but they are also the most expensive.

You will also experience different coverage quality depending on where you live.

hibbidiji · 01-07-2004, 04:52 PM

I love tmobile. I use a nokia 3650 (free from amazon) but there is a new one out thats better... just get a series 60 nokia phone with bluetooth and you're stylin.

I get very good coverage and the data access is cheap

MetaformX · 01-07-2004, 10:13 PM

T-mobile rocks. Best phone company I have been with.

Babaganoosh · 01-07-2004, 10:19 PM

I use both t-mobile and sprint and honestly t-mobile kicks sprints ass.

pradaboy · 01-07-2004, 10:31 PM

T-Mobile is a good company for sure

bdld · 01-07-2004, 10:37 PM

i dont know about their service but i love their commercials.. "where you at?"

sandman! · 01-07-2004, 10:37 PM

3000 min's for $50 a month you cant beat

- AFN - · 01-07-2004, 11:44 PM

want to hear a few more opinions before I make my decision to go with them.. also does anyone have an experience with the sidekick PDA phone with them?

johnbosh · 01-08-2004, 09:30 AM

Use it in the NL ,perfect:D

Sharky · 01-08-2004, 09:34 AM

My service and phone number was ported over to T-mobile from AT&T yesterday.

I can tell you that while sitting at my desk with my AT&T phone, I had 0 reception!

with T-mobile I have 3 bars (out of 4) connection. i am able to make and receive calls from my cell here in the office which is GREAT!

chemicaleyes · 01-08-2004, 09:36 AM

T-Mobile = Quality company, used them for years.

KobyBoy · 01-08-2004, 09:36 AM

Starting my third year with them. No complaints whatsoever. This is the best phone company I've been with. I live in New York CIty and in my apartment I don't have a land line only my cell phone. I'm reachable 24/7 with no service interruptions. I would say go for it !

feN · 01-08-2004, 09:46 AM

Quality from Germany

Herb Kornfield · 01-08-2004, 09:58 AM

T-mobile rocks the house, I got the baddest plan they had on a promo a year ago.

$100.00 a month for 10,000 minutes / Free weekends / Free nights. Totally kicks ass.

Their service just rocks out totally and I have had most carriers for voice services.

hyper · 01-08-2004, 10:24 AM

you need to ask people in your area

a company is only as good as where their cell tower is

i use t-mobile, they are great because they have the towers in just the right places here.
i cancelled sprint coz i couldn get a signal half the time

axelcat · 01-08-2004, 10:25 AM

Its ok

JUSTB · 01-08-2004, 10:26 AM

I just cancelled AT & T 3 months ago and got T-Mobile. T-Mobile is so good that our family out of town signed up and now we all talk to eachother for free!!!!

Sharky · 01-08-2004, 10:40 AM

It's amazing how many phone calls I missed during the day due to shitty AT&T cell reception at my office.

Today I have taken 5 calls, 4 of them from clients who prefer to call my cell.

superweb · 01-08-2004, 10:49 AM

Used them in Germany & using them in Czech Republic. Really the best cell operator on the market here.

GonePhishing · 01-08-2004, 12:00 PM

I did not have a problem with my service from them. I think that sprint and at&t have a lot more towers, but it didn't really seem to make much of a difference.

xxxoutsourcing · 01-08-2004, 12:06 PM

T-MOBILE, never heard of em, where they from again?

brothenberg · 01-08-2004, 12:13 PM

Who the heck said they have naked people... thats Virgin Wireless, not T-mobile....

If T-Mobile had naked people in their commercials there wouldnt be any other services..

They are all trying to merge soon anyways...

In Los Angeles, they all share cell sites anyways..

IF you have an unlocked phone that isnt from the vendor, you'll see the ACTUAL cell site your connecting to.. T-mobile shares with cingular, and At&t was stingy but they opened up, so now they pretty much all bounce off each others networks.

They all have the same phones, most of which are crap for people who want the 'free' phone, but there are some good models..

If you want better service, cough up some doh and get an unlocked phone with better firmware/software on it, and you'll have better reception, when I bought my Nokia 6600 it was on version 2.2, when Nokia was on version 6.

Do all the internet access services work the same with the "unlocked" phones?

for instance -- the mpX200 phone. It's a nice looking smartPhone, however my fear in getting an unlocked one and using it on T-mobile is that some of the services wont' work.

cosis · 01-08-2004, 01:04 PM

they are awful, sent me two phones that didnt work, then they wouldnt let me cancel my contract when the coverage area they promised my cellphone would work in didn't

t mobile

liquidmoe · 01-08-2004, 01:17 PM

I use them primarily for data on my sidekick and have a separate phone with nextel, and use the sidekick purely as a backup. Their data plan is very good, has great coverage, and has the best connectivity of just about everyone, and I've tried Verizon, Sprint, etc.

As for a cell phone, I can't really say, I guess I would call it ok, no real complaints, but no real glowing praise either, just dont use it that often as a phone.

Yes they do, why wouldnt they, if you call T-mobile Data Networking Services, they can send you the settings, or they can walk you through them over the phone, there are some simple settings you need to change.

AT&T uses Nokia's EDGE technology and is offered MUCH higher bandwidth transfers via EDGE on their networking service..

While it's not as nice as T-mobile Hotspot access, the At&t service is pretty fast..

130k down or so...

Trax · 01-08-2004, 01:32 PM

cannot go wrong with them
they are THE german phone company filling markets nearly every possible in europe
i dont remember how many 100 million customers they have

DVTimes · 01-08-2004, 01:34 PM

I use t-mobile in the UK. They are to me the best of the 4 mobile phone firms in the UK (orange, t-mobile, Vodaphone and 02). I find they are let down when you need to call customer service.

Cirrus · 01-08-2004, 01:41 PM

I recommend them

Sid70 · 01-08-2004, 01:55 PM

T-Mobile is GSM as you get it. It means you can easily replace the phone and put the chip into another one. They do provide great services and I used T-Mobile while roaming in New York from Europe.
