I live in seattle and have had Tmobile for a number of years. It used to
have spotty coverage in certain areas 5 years ago but now it seems fine
to me and as you say I like their phones and especially their customer
service and now ESPECIALLY their rates. ($49 / mo + tax for unlimited
minutes)
Verizon CS was SO BAD when I was with them... and their service SO
expensive.

surely doesn't have any meaning to AT&T.
So when you are out of range of Tmobile, you pay nothing extra and get 3g
connectivity? Tmobile and AT&T together have a smaller 3g footprint than
Verizon or Sprint on their own. Take a look at the carriers own coverage
maps..Tmobile and AT&T are the worst for coverage, they aren't even in the
same ballpark. Now all this is relative, when I had Tmobile I *knew* they
had HORRID coverage but I liked the phone I got and I liked their customer
service. I also wasn't traveling much so the incredibly bad coverage didn't
matter. GSM phones can be used overseas and can be handy if you travel a
lot. I'll stick to the discussion regarding coverage in the country where I
live the bulk of my time. You argue in one case for a tech that can travel
the world and get connectivity, but on the other hand the two worst for
coverage here. So I suppose the question is, which do you care about?

I'm not a customer either, I wouldn't pay my cellular carrier for the

customer, I pay for a service. I'm glad the network I'm on doesn't have
such horrid service that they needed to build such an app for their
smartphones. Maybe if they put money into network improvements instead of
lawyers to whine about verizon spreading the truth, their customers might
be
happier.
The app is an excellent service. It makes a huge difference when the
network provider is proactive in expanding its network to please its
customers.
I reported a dead zone where I need to use my phone to T-Mobile a few
months ago. I returned to that location last week and I now have reception
on my phone. They listened to my request and acted to improve service. The
ATT app can do the same for its customers.
I saw the Verizon TV ad again today, comparing networks. Then I remembered
how I can roam with T-Mobile on ATT's network and other GSM networks across
the country and around the world. There isn't any network that Verizon
customers can use for roaming except, well, Verizon. The roaming on other
networks expands ATT's coverage to pretty much the same as Verizon's in the
US and more in the rest of the world.
