Any thoughts on T Mobile

Oldfaithful — Tue, 27 Jun 2023 00:01:02 GMT

We have been considering switching cell phone service providers. Verizon wireless is good for the most part but a T Mobile ad arrived in the mail today with an awesome deal for 27.50 per line with unlimited talk text and data. Seems to good to be true. Just looking for any users and their thoughts..thanks in advance!

Hi, @Oldfaithful ! Switched from ATT to T Mobile and couldn't be happier. We got an offer through Auto Club similar to yours but ultimately opted for a different plan. With the low price plan, your fees and charges can vary month to month. We opted for an all inclusive plan, higher but same charge every month. I'm even on waitlist for internet through T Mobile so I can ditch Cox, which is down more than up in our area at times. I have no experience with Verizon recently so can't comment on the comparison.

Thank you! There was the offer for internet as well. It seems all of these services are getting more and more pricey and this offer tops all others!

They also offer a deal just for seniors.

We switched to T-Mobile from AT&T over a year ago. We got new phones and a senior plan. We had a bit of an issue with initial billing. We were charged differently than the contract we bought. Took a few tries to get it resolved. No issues since, and our monthly bill is definitely less than our former AT&T bill.

@Oldfaithful I've been with T-Mobile for over 20 YRS!! After I retired they gave me unlimited everything with a fixed monthly rate of $34.00. I grabbed it.

I think the last time I had to call CS was about 5 yrs ago. Have absolutely flawless service. No complaints.

Been seeing the advertisements on TV for T Mobile and it has spiked my curiosity. But we once switched from Verizon to Sprint (are they even still around?) and while the cost was good, the service was not. More than half the time we didn't get reception.

@Oldfaithful I have used T-Mobile, from my experience....

I worked in a school where I took care of all our diabetic students. They all had the dexcom device which enables them to track their blood sugar levels on their phone. Spectrum was by far the worst service followed by T-Mobile. Many students could not receive service to keep track of their blood sugar levels if they had T-Mobile.

The only consistent carrier we never had problems with was Verizon. I know it depends on your area and how important it is for you to receive service. I would not go back to T-Mobile. I would stick with Verizon, unless good service is not that important to you.

Unfortunately, in my area Verizon works the best so we can't really shop around but I liked T-mobile when I lived in NC.

I switched to T mobile from Verizen and I like it so far. If you need to talk to someone it is fairly easy and they are very helpful. I have never been on hold for long.

Just read the fine print regarding "unlimited data." There are usually a few conditions on "unlimited data" regarding the speed of the data. There's typically a soft cap on the data you can use and then after hitting that cap, the speed drops a lot. (Sometimes down to 2g speed.) The reduced speed stays in place until the next month/billing cycle. Also, any streamed video is typically reduced in quality to standard definition instead of HD or 4K. If you don't use a lot of data, then fine. But, if you do use a lot, you can find yourself staring at a spinning "loading" symbol for a lot of the month. Check the fine print. And there's always fine print. They like to tuck it away and hide it a bit, but it's there if you look for it.

I've had T-Mobile ever since is was Voicestream. I have no complaints with the services or Charges. I LOVE the fact that I have free texting in the Caribbean, Mexico and Canada.

Actually "Sprint" was bought out by "T-Mobile" which is owned by a french company I believe.
