My parents have a plan with T-Mobile where they got trapped into an additional two year contract just because they changed the number of minutes in their plan. In the previous plan they were out of contract, month to month.

Since we were moving we changed out minutes and just because of that we got trapped in a new two year contract. Now, the signal that we have is so bad that it is impossible to use any of our phones. It seems like, no matter where we go the signal sucks and if we do somehow magically connect it is a really crappy connection and only lasts a little while.

Not only did they put us into a new contract but they didn't inform us that we were being put into a new contract and there was nothing going along with it. We only ...

I'm thinking of going on vacation in a couple of months, and i wanted to use a pre paid sim card. But when I talked to T-mo they said the phone needs to be paid off before they can unlock the sim. I know there is sites out there that will do it, but I really don't wanna pay 30$ for them to do it. is there anyway i can get it unlocked for free ?

thanks for the advcie 🙂

I have my new Galaxy Note 3. I have full bars of coverage on TMobile's 4G network and I'm sitting here trying to watch some Netflix and it won't stream due to the network being too slow. So I download a speedtest app and I am getting .83 down and 1.46 up.

Am I missing something here? I switched from Sprint and was expecting a better experience than this.

I've just gotten an Alcatel Fierce and need to know where to go to learn how to use it! My learning style requires hands on instruction vs reading a manual and being able to do it.
Ideas??

This is awesome. If they can keep the momentum into the typically good 4th quarter T-Mobile becomes a real contender in wireless.

Give the people what they want and apparently they will come to you.

Hi everybody,

I just wanted to find out how many of you guys use T-Mobile in Charlotte North Carolina (South Charlotte, Piper Glen area), near the Stone Crest shopping center?


I wanted to gauge your network speeds on 4G LTE using the SpeedTest.net app or something similar. I want to get an idea, if this carrier serves me at my apartment complex (Piper Station), whereas Sprint's 4G only delivers 0.5-1Mbps in my apartment, on my GN2. I am constantly having to rely on TWC's in home WiFi for a decent connection.


I am itching to pull the trigger, and get the new GN3. Please post your screenshots, as I would love to hear from you, and any experiences you have had with the carrier.

Thanks a million,
”‹JE 😁

Go T-Mobile!

I am currently with Sprint. But I am getting tired of their slow 3G network and the lack of 4G. Half the time I can't even use my iphone, because the internet doesn't work. I wanted to know anyone that has T-mobile in New York what the service is like, and what average internet speeds you are getting. Also do you think it is worth to switch from Sprint to T-mo ? I would go with Verizon, but I need the unlimited data and don't wanna pay that much.

Thanks for the help 🙂

Anyone Else Noticed T-mobile Censors Picture Messaging, and Emails

My wife was shopping and sent me a private pic as she was trying on clothes. The Picture never came through on my phone even though it said sent on hers. Then she sent one fully clothed and that came through no issues.

Fast forward to another incident same thing the Private pic did not come through, even after trying to send it via email...

I also noticed it happen when I tried to send a pic to dropbox.

Just wondering if anyone else has seen the same thing.

i bought a t-mo no-contract phone a while back and it came with a refill card and i have a few questions about the cards.

1) i am a contract customer and have no use for the refill card, is there any way to use this towards my contract account?

2) can i use it for anything else (i.e. like a pay per use data plan if such a thing exists)?

3) are there any other companies that will honor t-mobile refill card cash?

4) is there some place where one can check the balance of the card (i haven't used it but it is about a year old, should still be good right?)?

thanks!

Does anyone know if Fort Worth has been refarmed to 1900 yet? I wish to use a non aws phone and would be happy with hspa

is there a schedule as to when the 4G LTE will be added to more markets?

Thanks

On the phone you can search for networks and usally T-mobile and at&t come up. When you click on at&t it says your sim card will not allow you to connect. Is there anyway to connect to at&t network ? do you need to unlock sim card or phone ? was just wondering if you would be able to use at&t in areas where there is no T-mobile.

Hi, I work for Verizon Wireless, adding an ECPD (employer discount) with us does not extend your contract by any means. However, someone I know who was about to switch from T-Mobile to Verizon just recently added their employer profile to get a monthly discount on their bill, but nothng was explained and we found out just recently. Best Buy added the employee profile. I just want to check if this is correct practice for any that might know.

Thanks!

I have been tired of hearing how the phone installments make T-Mobile more expensive than the other postpaid carriers, because people are hung up on the 20.00/mo phone installment. So below is a price comparison of somewhat comparable plans, even though in the case of VZ and ATT, the data is only 1GB, compared to unlimited with T-Mo, Sprint and US Cellular. For me, 1 GB would simply not be enough.


Verizon Wireless:

1 line- Unlimited talk/text/ 1 GB data= 40 line access+50 data= 90.00

2 lines-Unlimited talk/text/1 GB of shared data= 40 line access x 2 lines + 50 data= 130.00


ATT w/ Mobile Share:

1 line- Unlimited talk/text/ 1 GB data= 45 line access + 40 data = 85.00

2 lines- Unlimited talk/text/ 1 GB shared data= 45 l...

I am a little confused....What else is new...Right?

I am going this week to sign up with T-Mobile....Finally gonna get the HTC One, If I put down the $20 and pay the monthly fees with the newer system, If I decided to upgrade to something else? I mean does the cost of the phone just get added to the oerall payment until thats paid off? For instance I sign up and am paying whatever it is a month for a phone, then decide 6 months from now to get something else that's $500, do I add the phone to my account and start paying the difference to the one I was paying on?

Thanks

OK, so there are no more contracts, however, if you want a new phone, ie: you have to put down a deposit of $20 then pay installments for 24 months. It's gona cost a total of like $500+ for a new phone.

In the long run, its not cheaper. I would rather sign a new contract with another company, and only pay $199.99 for a phone.

Does anyone know if this applies to loyalty customers as well?

Does anyone know when this will be released ? I would really like to ditch Sprint and get this phone ASAP can't stand Sprint anymore 👿

If anyone knows if T-Mobile is going to get the 64GB S4, please let me know. That is if the 64GB S4 will actually exist this time! Samsung did say there was going to be a 64GB S3,...there neverrr was.

Tmobile sucks! I was planning to switch from Verizon.. but when I found out the new plan of Tmobile, it costs me more than on what I am paying now. Sprint doesnt have a good reception in my area. I have 4 phones and I want to lower my monthly rate and at the same time Im enjoying the data service for unlimited. Is there a way that I can lower my monthly bill?
