Execs get bonuses for cutting costs. And guess what the biggest cost is - employees. That is the reality of running a business - minimizing costs and maximizing income. And that is what the people running the business are rewarded for. | |

Tulsa, OK | I hope they make it. They actually have good service here. We need the competition, and I have good service from them locally. | |

| | | Re: I hope they make it. They actually have good service here. So did I - but where will they be next year? I decided to stop stressing on who was gonna be buying out TMO, and just move to another network. I went from an ancient Blackberry Curve 8900 that they charged me 400 dollars for and a two year contract, plus the extra 20 per month for Blackberry junk.
Now I have a modern phone with Android 2.3, paid 220 dollars with tax for the phone, and now 37 dollars and change for my new service.
I won't do a contract phone again - there are too many disruptive technologies to stick to a carrier for even a year. I have also noticed others are sick of the contract idea, as what does it really get you anymore? Used to be that a company would essentially GIVE you a phone to sign up for two years - now, they want you to buy the phone, and then agree to pay them for two years? Why again?
I used to think that prepaid was strange, or the "drug dealer" phone. Now, I see it as a smarter fiscal decision, as I am went from 82 dollars a month, to about 38 dollars per month, and have similar or better service. | |

| | | Re: tmobile should said by xmarklive :They should give free tethering with every data plan.
I've had tmobile for about 7 years. I've tethered multiple times and have never been questioned/charged for it. But I run aftermarket roms. Do those do anything to hinder tmo from knowing if I am tethering or not? Im just curious really. | |

There's no hope for you now..
After-market ROM.. aka.. Cyanogenmod, Energy, etc. There's plenty on XDA. They breathed new life into an old Alltel Hero that is now a SIP/Skype WiFi Phone. I also installed CM9 on a Samsung Captivate. Darn thing is freakin' sweet now on Straight Talk.
Just have to wait for them to release CM9 for the D2G. If VZ trashes my data plan, I'm unlocking the GSM side of my phone and switching it to ST.

Their documentation states as such. | |

| Good... I wouldn't mind it if they cut out some of their outsourced support. It's a VERY frustrating experience...truthfully, they are probably cutting US based jobs, and sending them overseas.

Madera, CA | ATT I blame this all on at&t. Is at&t really to blame? probably, probably not but either way I think at&t should take the fall for this one. Reason is I have a hunch that T-Mob would fare better if it wasn't for ATT to try to merge with T-Mob, now weather that is true or not is a mystery. | |
|
| | | Re: ATT Att will end up helping tmobile in the end with all the free spectrum. The only thing this merger helped in the end was verizon and sprint (Partially) | |
|
| | | | Re: ATT It may have helped Spent with customers, but their money problem isn't much better. They're focusing on 3 (4 if you count the Clear LTE network) networks, and are still losing thanks to the Apple iPhone deal. If they were smart they would have never took the iPhone, the small customer count they got was NOT worth the money they needed for their LTE build. | |
|
| | | I blame this on their Horrible service and limited coverage. Also once again it proves low price is NOT what consumers will take. Sprint continues to bleed and so does T-Mo. | |
|
| | | |  Re: ATT
DIE DIE DIE DIE and go to HELL! | |
|
| | | | TMO does NOT want the rural areas. If they did they would have covered those LONG ago. CellCo only has those areas due to mergers and buy outs. Sprint is the only one that really built anything in the rural areas and 360Communications (before Alltel and some of what is still Alltel).
Hell Sprint has even shut off a few of those markets and turned them into "roaming networks.
And actually people do want lower plans. Look at prepaid; their adding customers left and right- and contract customers are actually DOWN over all compared to prepaid and lower priced services. Sprint keeps bleeding due to their $$$ issues. They'll never get that under control if they don't stop spending on things that won't help them now. | |

kudos:2 | I'm not so sure... $4 billion and spectrum goes a long way. What TM _really_ needs to do right now is take action to stop bleeding customers and slowly build their base back up. They need to drop all of the stupid/pointless ads and focus more on what made them good... customer service and inexpensive service. | |

Actually a customer of mine did not renew their contract with T-mobile due to the threat of the AT&T merger. 54 lines on that business account.

| | | | Re: t-mobile I agree on this. I was once an AT&T customer and I dropped them because all they wanted to do was screw me over. Had this merger gone through, I would have dropped t-mo like a hot potatoe based solely on the merger. I will never go back to AT&T.
This merger was nothing but bad news to US consumers. And I was torn on it. On the one hand, I hate AT&T as a provider, but I love my T-Mo service (and the commercials are pretty cool to). On the other hand as a stock holder in both companies, it would have made sense. In the end, I would have dumped both stocks and and my provider had the deal gone through because of the really bad experience I had with AT&T as a consumer.
AT&T's only purpose was to either eliminate a competitor or sersiously damage it. In the end, it probably did both. I only wish Deustche Telecom took the US market seriously and would devote the resources to it. If they did, they would be a serious player. For now, I'm content to stay with t-mo. But my brand loyalty is serious hit after this mess.... | |

I know of a lot of people who ran for the hills during the impending merger with AT&T. I was almost one of them. Two of my closest friends left (one to Verizon, one to Sprint) because they refused to be part of of AT&T. In these very forums there were many people who wrote they were leaving T-Mobile because they didn't want to be on AT&T.
