thoughts if tmobile usa buys alltel? (DT of course)

other ideas? (with tmobile)


thanks.

I need some quick advice. I am getting ready to either renew my contract with Cingular or switch to T-mobile. My issue is with coverage I travel alot but most of my travels take me to California(both Southern and Northern),Colorado, and Massachusetts. I live in Texas. Can somebody out there offer there opinion on the quality of service(making and receiving calls) in these areas? Its not that I'm unhappy with Cingular, But I have a good friend who just went to work for T-Mobile and is asking me to make the switch. I currently use the Treo 650 which sucks as a phone but its a great PDA, He has offered me the Blackberry 7105T for 149.99. Is the Blackberry a good unit? I know that phone quality is usually an individual preference, but I have nev...

May be switching soon and was wondering if anyone has had either good or bad signals and call quality in southwest Virginia, particularly, Roanoke-Christiansburg-Blacksburg. Also, up I-81, on 64 through to Richmond and Hampton Roads area, especially Williamsburg in between Richmond and Newport News. Any personal experiences welcome!

There is a chance I may be able to obtain one of the SE data cards for my laptop. I see on the tmo website the combined wifi/edge plan of $49.99. Isn't there an edge only plan (aleady have a separate tmo hotspots account thru my employer)? Could I sign up for this plan (as a separate account from my cellphone account) without purchasing a card from tmo?

Or:
If I buy a card from tmo (like the SE GC89):
None of the data cards show up on the mytmo upgrade list. Would I get any sort of special pricing if I went back into contract on my cell account, dropped the unlimited internet2 feature from it, but added a separate account for data only with a datacard? I realize this may be more expensive, but there is an advantage to me of having...

Does anyone know if TMo will carry the HTC Wizard by the 1st quarter of 2006? I am eyeing that phone, but according to the info on PhoneScoop, Cingular is the only carrier planning to carry it at the moment.

If TMo doesn't get it, can I buy it from Cingular without a contract and have T-Mobile unlock it?

you can purchase T-Mobile version N90 from compusa and rita camera
it's GSM/EDGE (NO UMTS) 900/1800/1900, you may have problem when roaming, and incompatible with Cingular in 850 area
the phone is unlocked, and with all T-Mobile setting

Lately I have had this strange error where I make a call on my T-Mobile phone and it says something like " Server access error" or "server busy?"

Why does this occur? Does T-Mobile have a new system, aside from the new voicemail?

Why do you make it your business to place negative comments here? What are you so threaten by? Do you need prozac? Lipitor? Pepto? If you want to investigate as to what the other carrier forum is saying. Then investigate but don't be an arse. If you want to leave t-mobile then leave. Don't ask questions then be rude when someone give you their opinion. 🙄

December 5th

and i was hoping it would be this month... ☹️

TMOBILE IS GETTING BETTER THERE MAIN COMPANY PLANS ON BUYING MORE AND TOWERS WHICH MEANS MORE AND MORE COVERAGE AND MORE BARS....SOON TMOBILE WILL BE THE BEST.....THE BEST COMPANY SO FAR IS VERIZON WIRELESS CINGULAR IS SOOO BEHIND THEM THEY ONLY RESON WHY THERE NUMBER ONE IS BECAUSE THEY HAVE MORE CUSTOMERS...TMOBILE WILL BE NUMBER ONE SOON HANG ON....BY by 2007 Tmobile will be rolling out 3G maybe earlier

Anyone know the release date for this phone? My local T-Mobile store is being rather cryptic. They said they are for sure getting it, and that it will be in later this month, but then they retract their statements etc...thought someone might have an inside scoop...thanks!

Does TMobile sell only SIM card? i already haver a phone. What is a method to obtain a SIM card.

On December 1st, CompUSA and RitzCamera will be offering the Nokia N90 for only $399.99 for the first 100 days ONLY! It will be offered as if it were a T-mobile phone. It can NOT be offered as a upgrade phone and should come unlocked. If you remember the Nokia N-Gage being a pilot program through EbGames and Gamestop this is how the N90 will be sold. For $400 for a phone like that I know I'm going to buy this phone. This is real, if you need more information just call 611 and ask them about the new Nokia N90.

Sorry if this is a re-post, but I didn't see any info about it on this site. I found out on another similiar web site, that T-Mobile will be lowering the rate on the additional lines in the Family Time plans from 9.99 to 7.99. It is supposed to take effect later this month. Just thought I would pass along this info.

Is there a definate release date for the Motorola Pebl yet?

It seems I can only get one or the other with these options, while my brother has both with Verizon. Is anything out yet that I am not seeing, or are there versions coming out soon?

Thank you.

To connect using an application on T-Mobile, weather it be Opera, MGmaps, Netfront or whatever, you can't get that application to talk on the Internet until you explicitely specify the proxy server address (216.155.165.50:8080) within that application. But in the configuration of the access point in the phone, you can put in the proxy server address. Why doesn't every application on the phone just try to use that proxy server? Some applications don't have an option to put in a proxy server address, so they are useless. Or is there a proxy client that you can download for Series 60/Symbian that will allow you to have any application to use a proxy? My phone is a Nokia 6620.

i was just about 2 switch 2 sprint but they are gettin better and better so should i wait to see the future? i saw the updated service maps and they looked nice, so whts ure opinion???

Howard Forums member cmc0 posted an updated Tmo map in the forum, it is very impressive to see how much larger the coverage area is.

I notice my battery on my notebook runs down more than ever after installing the "T-Mobile Connection Manager" and after much checking I've notice some very large files in the C:\documents and settings\all users\application data\TMOBILE\Connect Manager diretory.

Its called DIAGNOSTICS.TXT and a few others and your application is writing to this file several times a second.

I need this Diagnostics crap turned off ASAP. I don't have a TMobile problem, I have a MAJOR PROBLEM with you using CPU & DISK WRITES several times a second running my battery down.

Your application should be a LOW RESOURCE app since most people use the WI-FI and GPRS/EDGE on notebooks without electric.

Where's you heads at?
