If you are in the city, T-Mobile's service is actually better than any of the other 3 major carriers -- better coverage, faster service, cheaper plans. It's when you hit the rural areas that you're at the mercy of roaming, and even AT&T sucks at coverage, so, for example, in Hickman county, in many areas, I have no service. Verizon is moderately better in Hickman county, but the service is still degraded (meaning not 4 bars) in most de-populated areas. The other nice thing about T-Mobile is that, where they have no service, you can roam for free. The opposite is not true of AT&T; I have a friend with a T-Mobile phone with an AT&T simcard, and in some places where I have full service, he has none. -Tilghman -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "NLUG" group.
