Share:
The fourth quarter should be interesting as T-Mobile has started a new unlimited calling plan and is featuring its' FlexPay program that allows customers to finance-without interest charges-expensive phones. Some hot new devices are heading to the carrier in the next few weeks including the BlackBerry Bold 9700 and the Samsung Behold II.

It is still less than Sprint leaving, but that isn't something to be proud of, "We bled 77k net subscribers, but hey that is nearly half of what Sprint did! So bonuses for all top level executives while we crunch down hard on the lowly paid CS and Store reps, let's tell them it is their fault and not give them a Christmas bonus... CHEERS!" Come on T-Mo you need to pass sprint and start developing LTE with VZW and ATT so we can just drive Sprint out.

now not to come off rude, and not that it requires a response, but why would you want to drive out or crush a company? if sprint goes belly up and the bulk of the customers came to tmo and used all of your bandwith space you would be upset when your data connections fail and calls drop. have you heard of let sleeping dogs lie. i am enjoying your sprint services.

we don't want to drive any more companies out of business because the less companies the higher the prices. there needs to be variety in the wireless industry.

are you asking for an eventual/inevitable data jam??? thats why at t doesn't have good speeds and service / coverage. they don't know how to run their network. Verizon on the other hand knows how to run a cell company. it shows in their image

There are more customers planning to leave T-Mobile if the coverage areas and signal strength are not improve to match Verizon and 4G LTE network instead of starter 3G.

167 whole customers served by Tmob's 3G network? did they just build a new tower in bumfuckville, usa somewhere? thats a lot for Tmob

rath, there IS NOT A 4G network yet.. LOL. that doesnt even START being built till Q1 2010 at the earliest... so by comparison, tmo's "starter" 3g network is leaps and bounds ahead of coverage of VZW's 4g.. lol i love when peeps dont know what they are saying but they just keep spouting things anyways :) lets see if these new plans have any effect. now we know why they actually came out w/ these plans, lol.. but they are definatly hard to argue with when looking at carrier pricing. again, why do people pay for ATT. you get VZW pricing with TMO coverage.. lol. buy an iphone and put it on Tmo if you really want that phone so bad.. omg. Ill be laughing at you all the way through activation process :)
