Experience: 3 Years

Pros: YOU Can send back phone before a year. The service is great. the signal is great. They are getting new phones. THEY NOW HAVE 3G. And you can talk to anyone with t-mobile for free and you have my faves.

Cons: NOTHING AT ALL

Summary: I love t-mobile. I want at&t only for the iphone.(i don't want it anymore) and verizon for their phones, but t-mobile is the best. I love everything about it.

T-Mobile. Good phones. Decent call quality/service. Decent customer service.

Experience: 15 Months

Pros: Decent phones, (usually) good service, random, occasional perks

Cons: No service in some areas, staff at the store where we purchased everything can be...iffy.

Summary: I begged my parents to switch from Verizon to T-Mobile because I wanted a Sidekick. We got a pretty good deal for switching - since there were five of us they dropped the $35 activation fee. Everyone was really nice the first few times we went in there, and when my sister had a problem with her Sidekick data plan they were very pleasant and fixed the problem. Also, we got a ten dollar off credit for the bill after our one year anniversary.

Now, that being said, I do have to say I was a little disappointed going back to the store when my mom had a problem with her phone. While the problem was resolved, it took some time, and she had to get a new phone shipped to us. She had to use a phone from them while she waited for her new one. Why she had to pay for the shipping or replacement or something for thee new phone is kind of beyond me, but I'm not T-Mobile (it was only $10 but still). Also, the staff at the store became kind of...rude after the sale. I'm sure it's that way with the majority of the cell phone providers, but it just kinda irked me. Going from super nice to I-could-really-care-less after a huge sale? Really?

All in all, I love T-Mobile. The have some good phones, and reception is usually good (I don't get service everywhere, but at least where I need it for the most part).

hands down, T-mobile has the best customer service

Overall Rating:

5 out of 5

By: danny castro on Wednesday, July 29, 2009
From: bronx, NY (United States)
Experience: 11 Years

Pros: superior customer service, the hottest phone and great call quality

Cons: none

Summary: i've been with t-mo since 1998. back then they were known as omni-point, then they became voicestream in 2000 which later change to t-mobile.
over the years there customer service went from good to great to the best. they make you feel like a big fish in a small pond, which to me is key. not to mention they have the best android phones and a good app store to go with it. i can't see myself switching carrier's in the future.

It doesn't get any better

Experience: 3 Years

Pros: customer service is amazing, plans are reasonable, and phones are great.

Cons: none

Summary: I don't understand what some of the people are saying about the service being bad or the customer service being rude I have never experienced that issue. The customer service has always been very kind and knowledgeable. I have a g1 and my sister has an iphone she can't even send picture messages? and she pays a rediculous amount for minutes and internet. I feel lucky to have such a great phone company. I also have the home service and I love it only time I have had issues is when my internet is running slow nothing to do with t mobiles service

T-Mobile - The Carrier to have!

Overall Rating:

5 out of 5

By: Scott Cox on Wednesday, July 01, 2009
From: Norman, OK (United States)
Experience: 5 Years

Pros: Price plans, flexibility when changing account, GREAT customer service, Easy upgrades

Cons: None!

Summary: I have had t-mobile since i was a freshman in high school when my parents got me a phone( i am now a sophomore in college) . I have had them ever since, and while i have had the usual 1 or 2 calls to care in the last few years, my friends and family have fumed constantly about issues with Verizon, at&t and sprint. My service has always been exceptional and i have always been offered upgrades and perks for my loyalty. And now as an employee in there CC department i understand that 75% of the things people get fuming mad over are SELF CREATED. i am not trying to give good PR or anything like that, just saying how it is. People expect to swap phones with a friend and still have a warranty or send in a a phone with water damage and get a new one back. Of any carrier T-mobile has the most lenient upgrade system. You start getting a partial discount after 30 days of service on ANY device! Whenever there is an issue T-Mobile goes about and beyond to fix it, and has been rated best in Customer service 7 years running. All it boils down to is that 25% of people have a legitimate issue and the other 75% want something for nothing or are willing to lie, call daily, and speak to supervisor constantly for an issue that is either A. not occurring or B. things t-mobile has no control over. I will ALWAYS recommend t-mobile as the best value and service available.

WORST SERVICE EVER

From: medway, MA (United States)
Experience: 15 Months

Pros: NONE except that they are very good at saying "Im realy sorry that i cant help you. is there anything else that i can help you with today"

Cons: No fax capability, dropped calles, poor cust service, garbage phones

Summary: Was told everything i wanted to hear. Especialy when i told him i was going out of the country right after i got the service. he neglected to tell me that I only had 14 days to fix any problums that i might have like the fact that the phone that he sold me didnt do what it was supposed to. And the fact that if you dont keep the original box it came in all bets are off, no repair no exchange.you are locked in for 2 years, all they say is that if you dont like our service you can cancel, as long as you pay $200 PER LINE

EXCELLENT, she shouts

Overall Rating:

5 out of 5

By: 808 mom on Wednesday, June 17, 2009
From: Hawaii, HI (United States)
Experience: 9 Years

Pros: Their customer service is excellent. They will work with you until your question/issue is resolved.
Great value--service, price
Product range equal to that of other providers

Cons: This is not a con, but stick with the company-owned T-Mobile stores, not the multi-carrier cell phone stores.

Summary: I'm not sure who the other reviewers are writing about--I've never gotten a non-English speaker that I can recall in the past 9 years, no matter which department I've talked with.

There ARE a few spots in my area that have sketchy connections, but they are pretty clearly marked on their area coverage maps. Do I NEED coverage 100% of the time driving through a pineapple field? Mm, no. But most times I DO have coverage there too even.

I'm just glad we (in the US) don't have the phone charges they have in Canada. =O

Cons: All.

Summary: In Ventura, CA coverage is lousy (like nonexistent in areas they say have their signal) and the service is the same. AVOID.

PICK ANOTHER CARRIER

Overall Rating:

1.3 out of 5

By: Brandee Womack on Tuesday, June 16, 2009
From: Woodbridge, VA (United States)
Experience: 7 Days

Pros: None

Cons: Service, no one willing to help resolve issues with service. Can barely understand the person on the other end of the phone.

Summary: My husband is at AIT (ARMY) in Aberdeen MD, and he gets NO SERVICE AT ALL. I had to take our son to the emergency room because he was having chest pains and I had no way of getting in contact with him. I call the tech support line, although the woman was nice she told me there was basically nothing she could do, so I'm just going to have to write my husband a letter letting him know our son was in the hospital. We've had NOTHING but problems with t mobile since we bought the phones in November. I WANT OUT OF THIS CONTRACT, and I want a carrier that is going to give me and my husband the service that we are paying for!!!

Sprint: Nope, were not raising our ETF to match Verizons

Sprint not raising ETF

With any material change when it comes to wireless companies, it's almost expected that the other carriers will follow suit. Case in point: Verizon's decision to raise their ETF (early termination fee) to $350 for smartphones and other "high-end" devices. Within minutes of the announcement, Twitter and technology websites were buzzing about whether other carriers would pursue the same policy.In a tweet from Sprint's official account...

Dell Mini 3iX passes through the FCC with 3G and Wi-Fi

Dell Mini 3iX hits FCC

The boys at the FCC have just given approval to the Dell Mini 3iX in US form factor - 3G on the 850 MHz and 1900 MHz bands, along with Wi-Fi. It will offer a 3.5-inch touchscreen, 3G connectivity, GPS, a microSD card slot, and a 3.0-megapixel camera. No word on what Android OS it will be running, but the hope is that it will run Android 2.0 "Eclair" out of the box (or some sort of newer Android build). Though conventional logic...

AT&T getting white Curve 8900?

Sure, they launched the Bold in white, but do you think that's going to stop them? Of course not. It looks as if the BlackBerry Curve 8900 is getting ready to be re-launched in white - at least the back part of the device. Missing from the Curve 8900 iteration of the white color scheme is the matching keyboard (instead, they kept it black). Considering the use that most keyboards go through, I think it's a smart...
