AT&T vs. T-Mobile
Read our AT&T Wireless Reviews and T-Mobile Reviews
AT&T Wireless vs. T-Mobile
When you are talking about the differences between AT&T Wireless and T-Mobile, you are looking at the difference in value. AT&T Wireless generally has better service, better coverage and better phones. Remember the key here is generally. Obviously, your physical location will have a lot to do with your coverage and your customer service experience will be different every time you call in or visit your local retailer.
T-Mobile may not have the latest and greatest phones or amazing coverage but you’ll save a few bucks by signing up with them. Their plans are the same monthly fees but T-Mobile plans come with more minutes, reducing the chance of overage fees. Text messaging plans are also cheaper with T-Mobile. In general, if you live in a decent size city, T-Mobile’s coverage is sufficient. They also claim to have service on every major highway so you shouldn’t run into any surprises while traveling.
AT&T vs. T-Mobile Comparison Conclusion
If you are looking for a basic phone and getting the best deal, T-Mobile is probably your better option. If you are looking for a better overall experience and don’t mind paying a few bucks extra, AT&T has what you are looking for. If you are a PDA or Smartphone user, there is no question that you’ll want to look into AT&T over T-Mobile. You’ll usually get better coverage with AT&T but we always recommend asking friends and family in your community how their coverage is as it varies from location to location.

This is absolute bullshit… AT&T’s coverage is a FUCKING JOKE!!! Ask ANYONE with an iPhone what they think about at&t…
As a VERY (UN)satisfied at&t customer I am telling you, Pick t-mobile

As a former tmobile user in a rural area south of houston I have to say that although tmobile is cheaper, it’s just not worth it. I barely had signal anywhere with my G1. I now have the iPhone and spend quite a bit more but lke I said I live in rural Texas and am happily typing this with full signal and 3G.
AT&T wins for me.
September 6th, 2009 at 1:44 pm
The ONLY way I’ll EVER switch to AT&T is if they get some sort of Frequent calling plan. AT&T is great but, the friends I talk to most aren’t on their network, and I’m a major talker.
September 19th, 2009 at 8:06 am
Definitely biased, in phones your speaking of iPhone? Ok, T-Mobile has had Android powered devices and more. Service, AT&T, really? T-Mobile has had the best CS(proven by J.D and plenty of other customers), the rest I do agree with. AT&T does have more coverage, but 3G network is congested.
September 22nd, 2009 at 1:48 pm
Well I just switched to T-mobile from At&t primarily for pricing. I need unlimited everything, but for both my wife and I, we were paying over $300/mo and she only had 900 anytime mins. I’m saving $110/mo now for the same service. Now to see if the quality in calls, service fluctuates. The pricing definitely has! They were “ki lling” us!!
September 25th, 2009 at 11:51 am
we jus had a disscusion about whos phone was better, i (corie) have at&t & fredo has t-mobile. i personally think at&t is SO much better overall & fredo is conviced tmobile is amazing. im sure pricing wise its great…but overall? everything else..i agree, at&t is thee best!!!… any comments fredo?….. “at&t sucks bcuz, they talk alot of smack & cant back it up with thier prices! *long pause* at&t is not good for traveling. on a trip to south dakoda at&t failed in picking up a signal while tmobile triumphed. it was so great at&t users were trying to borrow my phone…” ok fredo, where is your phone now if its so “incredibly” awesome? “i lost it & i plan on getting a new one..” mmmhmmmm suuuurrrrreeee….

I live in Portland , Maine and have had every Cell provider since 2001. AT&T and T-Mo have been the exact same here.
I find it odd people saying that they had coverage with T-MO where AT&T couldnt pick up a signal considering theyre ROAMING PARTNERS? Or is that only in certain areas?
Clarafication on this would be appreciated=)
Thanks!

Okay, I have to weigh in here. I’ve had T-Mobile for 7 years.
Their customer service is fantastic. Because I’ve been a customer for so long, they offered me a plan called “Unlimited Loyalty” which is unlimited talk time for $49.99 a month. I have the BB Curve and the data plan (unlimited) is an extra $20/month and 400 text messages is another $4.99 so my total is basically $75/month plus taxes and fees (comes to about $90/month total.
Every time I call T-Mobile I get a rep on the phone within 3 minutes (I’ve learned the shortcuts). The reps are friendly, helpful, and since they don’t outsource to India there is never a language issue.
———-HOWEVER———-
In that seven year timespan – SEVEN YEARS – I have lived in three different apartments dead smack in the middle of the city of Los Angeles, one of the most populous areas in the entire country, and during that seven years and three apartment timespan I have NEVER had ANY phone service at home. NONE.
My experience with their coverage is that it is absolutely horrific in Los Angeles. I lived in Koreatown, then Silverlake, and now live in Hollywood and can not use my telephone in my apartment. I even updated to the BB Curve because of the Wi-Fi option, but it shuts off constantly and, with no EDGE service in the apartment, I drop calls constantly. They’ve replaced my SIM card once and my handset THREE TIMES in the last 9 months, all to no avail.
So, I’m very disappointed to have to leave them, but I have actually become an inside joke with friends – the guy who gets out half a sentence per call before the phone goes dead. And since I also use it for business now, I can’t do it anymore.
I hoped that if I did an iPhone with ATT I would at least be able to use the Wi-Fi and rely on the 3G for back-up. Also, the iPhone is about 20 times faster than my Curve, according to the specs. Guess I’ll know soon.
November 5th, 2009 at 2:42 pm
I live in Seattle and have an iPhone 3G with AT&T and 25% of my calls are dropped. This has been verified at the Apple Store on 3 separate occasions. AT&T is total crap and the morons at the Apple store told me to shut off the 3G function and rely on EDGE. WTF??
I am switching to Verizon Wireless asafp.
November 5th, 2009 at 7:12 pm
Do not judge AT&T by the iPhone. The iPhone is all hype. I’ve used the exact same BB 8900 on AT&T and T-Mobile. It’s night and day. AT&T has coverage. T-Mobile doesn’t. Far too many times, they will both have comparable coverage outdoors, but T-Mobile will fail indoors. HotSpot calling helps but only with specific handsets with proper WiFi. Not enough bandwidth? Not enough time to handoff? Calls will sound horrible if they don’t drop entirely. What was it, two days ago? T-Mobile’s entire network melted down, from the wireless to the home phones to their internal and external website. If you want business-grade service, you use AT&T. Verizon is NOT true 3G. There’s no simultaneous voice and data. There’s no good smartphones. AT&T had more 3G on launch day than T-Mobile has now, and most of AT&T’s is HSDPA, not UMTS. That means twice the downstream bandwidth. If you want the best experience, go buy a BlackBerry Bold on AT&T.
November 5th, 2009 at 7:15 pm
P.S. AT&T and T-Mobile are only roaming partners in specific markets. Also, bear in mind some third-party towers will still allow one but not the other. Beyond that, T-Mobile uses oddball 3G frequencies, so even when a T-Mobile phone can access an AT&T tower, it can only use EDGE.
November 5th, 2009 at 7:20 pm
Also, in regards to Gerren, AT&T has no family plan with 900 daytime minutes. However, there is an even better one. 1400 daytime, free nights and weekends, free in-network, rollover, and ten A-List numbers for $89.99 a month. If you were paying $300, you just needed taught how to read your bill.
November 18th, 2009 at 9:04 am
I was with AT&T for 6 years. I decided to add one more line to my family plan, it required a $300 deposit. No problem, wrote the check, guaranteed to get it back in 12 months. 12 months later, they decide to tell me that if my service is interrupted due to non payment for any length of time (I was late once) that means I had to wait another 6 months. 10 months later, no $300 return. I call them, they say it has to be 12 months again, of course I am late again on payment, so now I have to wait ANOTHER 12 months… seriously AT&T? I tell them I will just pay them $175 and cancel my policy and they say “Okay”. They don’t care about customer retention. I call T-Mobile, they hook me up with a $100 a month unlimited everything plan for switching to them, port my number in 3 hours, and I am on my way. I can call at 3pm or 3am, I speak to an American. Hold time is minimal unless there is a new phone released or major outage due to storms/tower issues and what not. I live in St. Louis, MO and get 3G coverage in a coffee shop I frequent that I didn’t even get cell service in with AT&T. I’m happy with my switch!
November 21st, 2009 at 12:41 pm
Ryan it’s not ATT’s fault or any carriers fault when “YOU” sign a contract and you screw up and not fulfill your contractual obligations by being late, you’re blamig the carrier for your incompetence and I know many people who have Verizon, Sprint, T-mobile who did the same thing you did by not following the written contract and the carriers went after them. The carriers can’t be taken for a ride either. If I was a landlord I would never let you rent out one of my apartments because you would be late paying your rent often and making excuses and demanding I bend over backwards for you when it’s your fault.
November 21st, 2009 at 12:49 pm
I currently have ATT now because I have the iphone and love it. I have also owned the Moto Razr V3xx and Moto Razr2 V9x which are known for their call quality, reception and signal strength. That’s one thing people need to realize is that sometimes it has more to do with the cellphone technology than it does the carrier. My friend lives at the bottom of a hill in a part of the city that no carrier gives him more than 1 or 2 bars and the phone he always had the best reception and most bars was on his Moto Razr phones using ATT. His LG phone could never get any signal there. The Moto Razr line gives me more bars and more clear call quality/reception than any other phone I’ve ever had. From reading all the reviews at http://www.cnet.com and all the other electronic websites, the best flip phones you can get for best call quality, reception, signal strength are the Motorola Razr phones, even their flip phones beat the smart phones in that area. I’ve never had a dropped call with any of my Moto Razr’s or iphone with ATT and I’m in a smaller city of 40,000 that doesn’t have 3G. My phone always works.
When it comes to service from ATT I never had a problem with them. I’m on a family plan with 3 lines and it’s only $95 bucks a month total. I get over 670 minutes anytime a month for myself and I keep my rollover minutes. I get unlimited minutes week nights (9pm to 6am) free and unlimited weekends completely free. I currently have 4,850 rollover minutes to use free and my rollover minutes keep adding up and soon I’ll be over 5,000 free minutes and I won’t even come close to using them all.
Another advantage with ATT phones is they have a SIM card so you can take your phone any where in the world and it will work, all you do is go into another country and take out your SIM card and spend $15 to $20 bucks for a new SIM card and pop it in and your phone works in that country. I currently have 4 phones that are all ATT and I can use all of them now by taking the SIM card out of one and putting it in another one of my phones. If I feel like I only want to take one of my Moto Razr phones with me I take the SIM card out of my Apple iphone and put it in the Razr and vice versa which you can’t do with Verizon. That’s what makes ATT more flexible with more options. When it comes to which carrier has the best customer service I don’t why anyone would complain about any of the carriers and it’s not the carrier’s fault if their store is busy. I’m in a small city of 45,000 people and I have 4 ATT stores in a 12 mile radius.
November 21st, 2009 at 12:51 pm
Most the complaints from people about carriers are most often from people living in rural areas in small towns. If you live in any major city in the U.S. with over 500,000 people you should not get a dropped call but if you do it’s not the carriers fault, it’s you and your cellphones fault. Like I said I live in a city of around 40,000 people about an hour and 15 minutes west of Boston and I do a lot of traveling in my car and I never had a dropped call so I wonder what the hell people are doing with their phones. I also want to add that there’s no such thing as a perfect cellphone or perfect carrier, they all have some sort of short comings and I notice when I read any of the complaints about cellphones they’re so trivial like: “ohh the buttons wore out.” waaa waa blah blah blah. The only real short comings of any cellphone is battery life and that’s it but people expect to have 100 hours of talk time on a single battery charge which isn’t going to happen. If you get atleast 3 hours talk time that’s good enough plus you won’t get a tumor in your head, and with all the portable battery chargers you can get for your home and car you won’t run out of battery life. So plug in your damn phones and stop expecting it to be some sort of military grade Navy Seal phone where you can beat the hell out of it in a war zone and expect it to function.
November 21st, 2009 at 12:55 pm
If you get a Motorola Razr2 V9 or V9m or V9x you will see a big difference in signal strength, call quality, reception, less dropped calls, the technology inside the Moto Razr2 V9 phone is superior in that area to other phones especially compared to LG.
November 22nd, 2009 at 9:59 am
I have had AT&T for 10+ years. They were great in the East Coast, but now that I live in Phoenix they are TERRIBLE. I have dropped calls all the time (using blackjack pda, iphone pda, multiple other non-smart phones) and it’s the same thing… DROPPED CALLS. Their customer service is TERRIBLE! Without going into detail, AT&T could have cared less that I was a 10+ year long loyal customer and did NOTHING to try and save me when I wanted to leave them. They are terrible, period!
December 3rd, 2009 at 10:24 am
I have to second the comment ab not judging coverage by the iPhone. I’ve stood right next to iPhone users & had no problems w/ 3G on AT&T; they did.
In Atlanta, AT&T coverage is excellent. In the midwest, their coverage seems pretty bad.
They are more expensive & they do not have the broadest selection of devices, unless you want an iPhone or a blackberry.
December 6th, 2009 at 2:37 pm
I hope ATT buys t-mobile and becomes the biggest wireless carrier again.
December 11th, 2009 at 11:36 am
I have T-Mobile, work for AT&T, and I’m glad I have T-Mobile. I moved from NJ to FL, and NEVER, NEVER have had dropped calls. Customer service is awsome, never had an issue w T-Mobile customer sservice. And I do love my myTouch which is pretty close (in my opinion) to the iphone, plus i get some of the apps iphone customers have to pay for, for free. Working a AT&T makes me realize I want to stay w T-Mobile, hands down…and if T-Mobile was to be bought by AT&T, I’d leave them, for sure.
December 18th, 2009 at 2:57 pm
This all depends on where you live, and what you like from a company… HOWEVER att is larger and more expensive while t-mobile is smaller and has great Customer service
December 23rd, 2009 at 11:38 am
T-mobile is a freaking joke. Their customer service is terrible, they lie to get your business and hit you with stupid fees. They may be cheaper, but you get what you pay for. Dont expect to put out Hyundai type money to get a mercedes. If you want a cheap network with dropped calls galore, and terrible service, go with t mobile. If you are willing to pay a little extra and actually be happy with a cell phone carrier, go with ATT. the comarison is not even close. There is a reason ATT is second only to verizion (by a slim margin) as the top service provider. Great cell phone company. T mobile = crap
December 25th, 2009 at 7:28 pm
I am tired of hearing how small T-Mobile is… really? It has almost twice as many subscribers as AT&T (150 million vs. 81.6 million). That is WORLDWIDE! I am sorry if you think that the US is the world; but it is not.
As said earlier, it depends on where you live in the world that you need to determine coverage.
I have T-Mobile and unless in rural areas (which I seldom am) I have not had dropped call experiences or problems (minus one or two dead spots in the city I live [Portland, OR]).
Why T-Mobile? Simcard! I travel to Europe and can grab another sim card (or convert to T-Mobile intl), drop it in and have a working cell with a local number where I am while I travel at VERY LOW COST.
Last time I was in Germany I spent $9 for unlimited data on my BlackBerry for 2 weeks (which I then made call via skype). Can’t complain about that.
December 29th, 2009 at 1:59 am
Don’t confuse Deutsche Telekom with T-Mobile… There’s T-Mobile… and their parent company who has been trying to sell them off for years.

TMobile outdoes AT^T any day anywhere but geismar louisiana.
Having a company ATT blackberry and a G1, the G1 is faster on the net, has more phone coverage and it works everywhere.
The blackberry, well.. company knows its useless so now they just call me on the G1.
If any of you think ATT provides good coverage, you have to try something else cause ATT service does not even compare its service to a 3rd world country. Viva in South America (one if not the smallest GSM provider) provides better uptime, and a lot better service.
And ATT, please keep your phones for support past 5pm CST.
January 8th, 2010 at 11:35 am
I currently have an iPhone, and I am thinking about switching over to T-Mobile for the new Nexus One Google phone. ATT is just so darn high in cost, where with T-Mobile, it appears that I can save myself some money and heart ache. ATT is a good carrier, but they too have some 3G and drop calls issues. I live (2) hours south of Chicago, and even the coverage here is pretty good, my 3G speed isnt so “3G” fast. I’m really thinking about switching….Today.
January 11th, 2010 at 11:12 pm
I have been with T-Mobile for 7 years now. I was scouting the iPhone as a bargaining chip to get a better phone through T-Mobile. I woulda had to pay $300 deposit because of my credit score being an atrocious 702. then to get the iPhone with everything I got on T-Mo, it woulda cost me $150 a month. And T-Mobile worked out a deal to get me a better plan. I am from Philly but traveled to Penn State which is on a mountain. Austin, Chicago, Nashville, DC, Virginia, NYC, etc. And my coverage was full bars the majority maybe one less. Christ Verizon woulda gave me a phone over AT&T and they are the best carrier in the country
January 13th, 2010 at 2:49 am
I live in Alamogordo, NM nd the only carriers that actually have stores are Verizon Cricket, nd Alltel. Sprint and T-Mobile are also available but only through their website or Wal-Mart (Sprint only). AT&T’s coverage map says it has coverage but when you put in my town it magically says “We don’t cover you. Come back later” Like wtff is that?
January 18th, 2010 at 10:36 pm
Well, here is the deal AT&T has great coverage in certain areas more in the mid west and the south eastern part of the US and AT&T they are expensive. T Mobile is inexpensive and has better plans then AT&T but their coverage is not as good.
I know cause I have had both.

I am with Mr Hamilton on this.. i have been with ATT since 2003 paying 150/month for unlimited talk,text and data on a blackberry..
I can get the same plan on Tmobile for 79.99 with the nexus one.
ATT finally dropped the price on the above plan to $120.00
I am seriously considering moving to Tmobile at month end when my contract is up.
I called ATT to tell them i might be switching and they just said “OK”
I live in Portland OR, rarely had a dropped call even when i go up to Seattle or travel to TX..
Worked fine in London England (huge bill)
February 1st, 2010 at 3:53 pm
I have a prepay AT&T and i love it.
Its a cheep ass 30$ phone and it rocks my grandpa’s 40$ t-mobile prepay.
I vote AT&T
February 5th, 2010 at 10:06 pm
I have both AT&T and T-mobile using their latest smart popular phones the iPhone 3gs and the Nexus One, for that said T-mobile rulezzz At&t and Nexus One rulzzz the iphone, lol i will disconnect At&t service, and if i can sell the iPhone on eBay!
February 18th, 2010 at 11:54 am
personally… i think tmobile is better! i have had both networks and i get service more places and my service is better. tmobile has better prices, and most of their phones are nice, but i like alot of the at&t phones. so… by far, tmobile is better!

IPhone’s are rated the worst reception out all phones.
AT&T is budgeting up to $19 billion this year to improve its nationwide phone network, a 5 percent to 10 percent increase over its $17.3 billion investment last year, the company said today.
Although AT&T didn’t break out how much of the budget it plans to spend in California, it said it will add 200 new cell sites and upgrade 500 existing sites to 3G capability in the Golden State this year on top of 200 new sites and 320 site upgrades in 2009. The carrier has spent $7.3 billion on wireline and wireless networks in California from 2007 to 2009, $1.5 billion of that on wireless in particular, according to a release from AT&T’s office in Sacramento.
The company said its 2010 budget includes a $2 billion increase in capital spending for “wireless and backhaul related to AT&T’s wireless network.” Backhaul refers to the portion of its wireline network that moves wireless voice and data traffic when it’s not flying through the air.
AT&T’s spending seems to be on par with that of rival carrier Verizon Communications, whose capital budget is projected to be $16.8 billion to $17.2 billion, compared to $17 billion in 2009, the company stated in a Jan. 26 earnings release.
The breadth and strength of AT&T’s 3G network has been called into question by a series of ads Verizon has been running on TV and in other media for several months, depicting AT&T’s coverage as sparse compared to Verizon’s. This led to an air war of commercials from each carrier dissing the other’s network and providing actor Luke Wilson with a steady job.
Don’t worry AT&T is ready to buy T-Mobile and will do it in the next year or so.
March 12th, 2010 at 7:13 pm
I think I choose AT&T ok I just found out yesterday that my phone bil ends in march ooohh but wait theres more now its in august because we added more minutes for our phone so when we did that they extened our phone bill contract and thats why I choose AT&T
March 20th, 2010 at 10:26 pm
I used ATT many years, from ATT, to Cingular, then back to ATT. The customer service from Cingular is better. When it switched back to ATT, they are bastard. Because I always need to out of the country, don’t want to pay the monthly fees without using any mins. But ATT doesn’t allow me to suspend the services but T-mobile allow. Also I received many text massage that I don’t want to receive and ATT charged me $0.20 per massage, and T-mobile just $0.05 Therefore when my contract with ATT ended, I switched to T-mobile. Very satisfied to the cell phone service from T-mobile. Say goodbye to ATT forever.

AT&T IS FUC CING BULLSHI::T IS OVER RATED AND T-MOBILE MOST LIKELY DO EVERYTHING AT&T DOES EXCEPT THE BULLSH:T PART.. tO muSH $$$$ FOR THE SAME THING AT&T STANDS FOR And That’S iT CANCEL MY CONTRACT COME REPO MY SERVICE PLAN U FUCIN.THIEFS GO WITH T-MOBILE THEY ARE OFFERING FREE BLOW JOBS FOR NEW CUMMERS..T- ROCKS
April 7th, 2010 at 8:04 pm
AT&T Customer Service is pretty bad. I had an iphone, and representatives would not explain bills. I asked to cancel the text, but they always blamed their system for re-adding it in 3 days. AT&T reps can change your plan, and their system re-adds certain data plans without your permission.
Their system is too autonomous for me. I wasted time with reps that just made up answers why my data plan cost increased.
AT&T is better if your friends also use it for the in-network calls. Also, my voice coverage was fine, but the iphone data was very slow.

For those of you who have an iphone when you turn off 3g you get the best coverage. Also AT&T can be strnoger in buildings than Verizon!! Verizon can’t rollover never!! I have 9000 rollover minutes so Verizon can suck on that!
May 5th, 2010 at 12:11 pm
T-mobile has weak spots all over Seattle and unlike g1s and my touches my phone doesn’t break down and need to be sent back. I also can talk on the phone anywhere in school and text t-mobile doesn’t even get service in some classrooms or streets in Seattle when I do. Why pay for a phone if you hardly can make calls wtf!
May 5th, 2010 at 12:11 pm
I can text faster so far with the iphone than any t-mobile phone.
May 5th, 2010 at 8:48 pm
Thinking of finally moving away from AT&T. I’ve been a Pac Bell-Cingular-AT&T customer for fifteen years, and because of the unlimited price difference, I’ll probably be going to T-Mobile to save cash every month. Am I really going to experience difference in coverage? Probably not, but maybe someone out there really thinks there’s a reason to pay more for AT&T?

Yeah, so T-Mobile has a prepaid Unlimited Flexpay account… basically after the taxes, I pay 90.00 a month for unlimited everything, including 3G internet, free roaming, free long distance, etc… good stuff. At&t dosen’t offer anything even remotely close to that. Also, T-mobile (if you requiest it) will unlock your phone, so you can use it with AT&T or with any cell phone company (GSM) on the planet. Good Stuff !
May 26th, 2010 at 5:50 am
Thanks to the changes in the economy, expect to see some major changes in how cell phone companies do business. People are waking up to the shenanigans, and are refusing to agree to their bs as before. Seems to me, that their main reason for all these requirements of their customers is that they are aware that if the customer wasn’t locked into a contract, most would have buyers remorse from their shoddy service and cancel their accounts. After ten years of being an AT&T customer, I fired their miserable asses yesterday. What a miserable bunch of scumbags. Oh and btw it is quite obvious who are at&t employees commenting on this list. All of them have the same egotistical condecending tone that the reps at at&t have. You folks are complete douche bags. Actually the term of scumbag, or shill does a better job of describing the typical at&t employee. Matter of fact, I am not going to waste one more precious moment from this point on acknowledging its miserable effect on its world.

we are using Tmobil for more than 10 years and seriously consider switch to ATT. We live in Houston area and whenever we go for fishing or camping, there has no signal. We always need to borrow phone form ATT friends. We love Tmobil service and have heard ATT has bad customer service. I also consider HD2 or Nexus phone to iphone if we don’t switch. Who can give detials on comparsion? Thanks!

I’ve been debating on switching my iphone from ATT to Tmobile. My ATT service sucks in Orange County, CA. Someone told me to switch my network setting from 3G to 2G and it definitely seems to be helping to reduce the amount of dropped calls. Anyone using Tmobile in OC? Is the service better then ATT?

i have an iphone and coverage is perfect zero dropped calls

AT&T may be a little ahed with signal, but not much, or do you really need full signal unless you live way up in mountains? T-Mobile is almost the same anyways, plus TOP IN SERVICE 24/7.
Should I talk about PRIZE now? Better not, you know T-Mobile is way better. iPhone users? iPhone breaks too much man. After all, AT&T sucks compare to T-Mobile.

Well, iPhone may have changed the ATT but t-mobile is the best. No roaming anywhere you go, any network you use (as long as you are in USA). I am T-Mobile customer for 8 years with no roaming charges in any of my bills till now. I was with ATT before but the roaming charges were atrocious. At T-Mobile, you get more than what you pay for.

i consider it was a bit rushed, and unnoticed some options that not many people talk about. Everyone knows that almost all new smartphones have web, so why present that basic function at its bear minimum. Scroll up scroll down zoom in zoom out. Actually? which new telephone doesnt do that? How bout talk about how the textual content rearranges itsself. Also the texting, very poor review. Why didnt you mention you should use the mic and text together with your voice? Overlooked ALOT of different extra important features

anyone noticing that AT&T service for non-IPhones is starting to really suck since about April 2010 ? Calls not initiated, repeated drops, etc. This is in the Hudson Valley NY. Anyone else noticing it here, or elsewhere ? Maybe those deregulated telecomms need to be reregulated so they plow revenue into infrastructure rather than into executive boners ?

We use to have AT&T, what a joke, phone never worked. After AT&T we went to Verizon, coverage was great but the phones were horrible, did not hold up and you are only eligible for a new one every two years, another problem with Verizon is the billing. Every month our bill was messed up, had to call them and get it corrected. We now have T-mobile and have not noticed any differnce in coverage, our bill dropped 55 dollars a month and the bills are always correct, no errors. T-mobiles phones seem to be excellent, they may not have the choices Verizon does but the quality of the ones they do have is better.

*cough*cough* bs
getting a good reception depend on the phone,service provider/towers and location.
I never had any problem with T-Mobile so far being a customer over 1+ years.
I’m pretty far from any towers (out in the boonies) and can get pretty good signal,1-3 bar (when not talking) but when talking, my bar jump from 1-3 to full
now that’s amazing with my moto-v3 and the sound quality is pretty darn good 
. like others posted b4 me, sometime its the phone.
Familys and friends with the same company(t-mobile) but different phone such as blackberry,nokia,samsung having 1-2 bars sometime no service at all now that’s something to consider and thats the reason why I still have my moto-v3
T-Mobile: $Money Saver$
Customer Service: Excellent A+
Coverage: Depend|In my area, OK (read above)
Phone: Depend|Phone quality play a roll (love my moto-v3 read above)
End of Story G-Nite All

I’ve been a T-Mobile customer for 5 years, and am in the middle of a 2-year contract. In my experience, customer service has always been very good.
As with others, reception is bad and getting worse. I live on the upper west side of Manhattan and most nights get no reception at all between 10pm-1am. During the day it is unpredictable and spotty.
Lately, people call me during the day when I do have 3-4 bars and are directed right to my voicemail. I’ve missed important calls and am considering leaving T-Mobile (their pricing has kept me all this time).
I also get NO reception at all, ever at my parent’s home in Philadelphia and NO reception ever at a worksite in rural CT.
I’m using a Nokia 5610. Does anyone have better luck with different phones on T-Mobile? I’ve heard that the Sidekick misses more calls than the Razor, for example.
