@Nuttmeg wrote:I have followed the merger of Sprint and T-Mobile, and the roll-out of 5G service.
I learned T-Mobile customers should buy 5G phones ASAP. The company is moving its resources to being the best 5G carrier. What happens to 4G customers who have phones still under contract with this provider?
It is nice to know you left the foolish , and changed carriers.
Xfinity and Spectrum Mobile both use Verizon's networks. Xfinity's by the G plan looks like a Verizon post-paid Plan. The only difference maybe the data Speed.
Yes! 
(bolded by me) I learned this after the fact, from a friend on another board the other day. I was actually glad, as Verizon was always my first choice when I started considering moving,but their prices were way too high.
I can't even tell you how profoundly glad I am to be rid of TMobile. It was so awful. The service to my phone fell a lot soon after the take over of Sprint in several ways. Plus, calling them for help was just a bad joke. I'm loyal until you burn me. Then, I'm out.
Spectrum has always been pretty good here for cable, internet, and landline. So far, so good with the cell phone service. It's only been since Tuesday but not only does it seem better, they are very knowledgeable, kind, and helpful.

I was with Sprint for many years, after they acquired Nextel which I was also with for years, and now that TMobile has acquired Sprint it's gone downhill fast!
Just this week I got a letter from TMobile that my phone, which is only like 3 years old and in perfect condition, will become obsolete at the end of the year and will no longer work at all. I paid almost $600 for that phone and I didn't feel like I got all my money's worth yet, as I tend to take great care of my stuff and use it for as long as it is useful (I know, I'm a dinosaur) .
Well, that was enough to get me to move. I went to Spectrum (used to be Charter for decades), where I have my cable/landline/internet for decades. Not only did I get a new model phone for less than half I paid for my last one but the monthly service is about 1/4 what I was paying at Sprint.
Moral of that story is that I would not recommend TMobile and they got the one-finger salute from me when I ditched them.
I hate it when one company takes over another and takes it straight down to the gutter. I'm a pretty loyal person and as long as a company treats me well I treat them well.
What I love now, as this is only my second smart phone, after having the old types for 20+ years, is that when you switch they can move every single thing to the new phone. It took him a little while, but it was time well spent. I didn't have to do anything beyond just logging in to the email addresses again. I suppose that's a good thing from a security POV. But all the rest of the email info was already on there, along with most settings, pics & docs, contacts, etc. Plus, I didn't want to lose the phone# I've had since 1994.
I believe all carriers are doing the same thing. Mine is AT&T. I received a notice that my 3G service will be discontinued by 2/2022 and I will need to upgrade my phone.

Ah, I see. It's unfortunate for those of us who cannot afford to keep buying new phones all the time.
As to TMobile, that was just the last straw of many so I was glad to finally get the push to move on.

@qbetzforreal AT&T is giving customers with 3G phones a replacement. They will provide a free iPhone 2020 SE for an Apple user, and an Android phone for a droid customer. The supplied phone has a poor battery. Please buy a Samsung A32.

@Nuttmeg yes, I received notice about the new phone distribution as well. I'm not pleased with ATT so I'll be looking to jump to one of their competitors. Thank you for the recommendation.
