[FRIAM] TMobile

2013-10-11 Thread Owen Densmore
My contract is up at Vzn .. where I went to get an iPhone, get a seniors
plan and to have better coverage.

But I'm thinking of going back to Tmo simply because they are doing some
interesting stunts like being honest about the phone contract, and having
digital roaming in europe.  And I prefer GSM if it works.

So question: What has been our experiences with Tmo lately?  Is their
coverage (mainly Santa Fe) still as poor as it was 2 years ago?  Any reason
other than coverage to stick with Vzn?

Thanks,

This might be a reason to go to T-mobile:

I saw that .. but found that there is  a bit of controversy: the data
roaming is 2G some claim.

To tell the truth, it seem to me that GSM should have world wide roaming ..
data and voice .. to take advantage of their GSM standard.  Its quite a
pain to have to get a temp SIM every time I go to Italy.  And I've not
found an easy way to get the pay-as-you-go SIMs activated, even tho they
are supposed to last about a year.

I'm guessing Tmo is looking to approach this: GSM worldwide roaming.  If
so, I'd switch.  After all, they are european (Deutsche Telekom)
