Actually I don't want to be stuck with T-Mobile in case something better comes along. The pre-pay is okay as long as their billing doesn't screw up. Coverage is bad here but the phone still works and I use wifi for everything else. T-Mobile wanted to put a tower literally right behind my house. It would have been 4G LTE but the neighbors objected. Maybe they should try again but I think MetroPCS's coverage will be available on the phone once they get that synced in and it is better here (and of course MetroPCS is now part of T-Mobile). Anywhere else but this particular valley and coverage is good in this town.
And what is this with T & M things? :-D On 08/10/2013 09:20 AM, doctordumb...@rocketmail.com wrote: > After being with them for years, I tried to go the prepaid route awhile back > with T-Mobile, and they screwed it up, but I didn't get charged, and was > offered a hidden plan that is really inexpensive, instead.
