Cell phone service ?

Edwards Finance > Phones

Q. My two-year contract with Cingular/AT&T finally ran up two weeks ago, and, naturally, my cell phone died today. I'm ready to move to another service. Anybody got T-Mobile? If so, how do you like it, and how is the coverage?

A. I have T-mobile and it suits its purpose for me. The phone was free and I only pay $20 a month for a certain plan. I only really use it for emergencies and only have it turned on during long car rides, an hour or more. I have never been cut off. The signal locations are improving more and more. I used to not be able to get a signal within my home, but now I do. The only time I couldn't get a signal otherwise was when I was up in the hills of South Carolina, but nobody could get a signal there, so it wasn't just T-mobile. lol. I remember everyone borrowing one person's phone to make calls because it became known really quickly who *could* get a signal. I have T-mobile and have had it for a couple of years. I absolutely love it. They have a local place to pay or buy accessories. We got our latest phones at Costco, however. I like the plan (tons more minutes than we begin to use). No drop calls ever! That's why I switched. We were losing calls all the time with Verizon and I was pissed!! Also steer clear of Sprint -- I swear they are the worse company out there. I've had T-Mobile almost since their inception as Aerial Communications, and I have absolutely never even considered switching services! Never a dropped call, never a billing error, and their plans are reasonable. All this since 1989, if I remember correctly... There were some problems with coverage years ago when I traveled, but their coverage is much better now. You can check out their Web site to see how coverage is in areas that concern you.
