T-Mobile
 
Anyone have any issues with T-Mobile? Thinking of switching from ATT because of T-Mobile’s international plan. Live in the Newnan area.

clear4approach 06-04-2018 05:02 PM

I live in a major metropolitan area. Service coverage and strength is less than Verizon but certainly adequate enough. I have 4 lines plus free Netflix and the highest tiered plan for about $160 a month including the discount we get thru Delta perks. International data is awesome too. I’ve certainly used my share in the Caribbean/Mexico/Canada.

Im in Newnan as well, its slow. And if youre taking back roads or even driving to airport there are gaps in coverage. I wouldnt recommend it. Maybe after the Sprint merger make the switch?

Overall dig T-Mobile, not the greatest reception at times (though close to the other big 2 in metropolitan areas) but it's the perks such as international data, unlimited streaming, free calls to/from Canada/Mexico, etc. that have made it worthwhile. Customer service is actually responsive and helpful which I is way more than I say for Verizon/ATT.

A huge number of us international folks at Brown swear by T-Mobile.

Peoloto 06-04-2018 07:55 PM

I switched from ATT to T-mobile and we are very happy, as said reception isn't as good BUT is adequate and all the extras make up the difference. Their customer service is way better too. NOT in GA, so couldn't tell you about service there.

RonRicco 06-05-2018 03:59 AM

I live in the Atlanta metro area. Signal is very good around town, rural, not so great. I love having free data outside the USA which is one of the things that keeps me with them. And agree with the others, the customer service is so much better than what I have experienced elsewhere.

ppping 06-05-2018 04:46 AM

T-mobile is doing a military family plan now. 55 first line, 25 second then 10 after that so it’s a little cheaper then the Delta discount.

Tmob works better outside of the US. Once they merge with sprint I think some of the US coverage will be better. If you fly internationally you can't beat unlimited text, wifi calling, Netflix, and Data. If you do have to talk it is 20cents a minute. I'll pay the dollar for a five minute call that needs to be made. I've never been to a country where it didn't work. Also, your phone works like normal in Mex and Can with 4G.

I emailed them the other week to sign up, but no dice. Gotta try again I guess.

dodgerk 06-07-2018 06:15 AM

What are the details on the T-Mobile International plan? Is it data/voice/text anywhere in the world you can get coverage?

I have Verizon where Mexico and Canada are included.

MExico and Canada are unlimited, free (LTE data, talk, text)

There is a list of 140 countries where text and 2g data are free, and calls are 20 cents per minute. Many countries the data is 4G or better, but that is not guaranteed.

https://www.t-mobile.com/landing/sim...countries.html


The military plan with 3 lines is $80/month, all taxes and fees included, if you use autopay (a credit card for example)

additional lines are $10 each

Free Netflix standard (worth $10.99/month)

great customer service

Nope, must've missed that requirement thanks.

mispoken 06-11-2018 07:13 AM

Just switched to T-Mobile in the last month and probably going back to ATT. Perks aren't as generous as T-Mobile and the prices are a bit more. But having coverage was never an issue when I was on ATT. So far in the locations I've been in Michigan and SLC there is ZERO coverage in the locations I've been (to include the SLC airport). The coverage just isn't there for it to be worth free netflix. Also, intl data is nice but very slow, great for e-mail and text.

Pretty much my experience as well... switched from ATT to T-mobile for cheaper package and better bennies, but after a cascade of complaints (all valid) from family about how terrible the coverage was/is, I ended up switching back to ATT less than a month later.... Central Minnesota is not the place to be with T-mobile..:mad:

T-mobile has a free iphone loaner. Pick up in store or order online. Try their network for a week, bring it on a trip.

I tried. They said they don't do that anymore. They were pretty honest with their coverage maps in the local area. They told me my house is in a known dead zone. Here's hoping their coverage improves, I'd love to switch over.

The realtor told you that when you moved to Barstow.:D

Hank Kingsley 06-11-2018 04:34 PM

I've had tmobile for the last 10 years. Works great overseas. Plus one, extra 10 bucks. Data and gogo. Plus one international, 25 bucks. All the bells and whistles. Guys with side hustle need it. But that's 3 beers.

bluejuice71 06-12-2018 12:39 AM

I made the switch from ATT 6 days ago and I’ll be switching back to ATT when I get home from my current trip. In the first 2 days of having T-Mobile I was in areas where I didn’t get service. Never had an issue with AT&T. Then yesterday I missed a call from crew scheduling. Phone never rang. About 5 minutes after they called I noticed I had a voicemail. Can’t have that happening so I’m switching back. I wanted to like T-Mobile, but bottom line is their coverage isn’t as good as AT&T. I guess that’s why they have all the extra perks.

Depends where you live and where you spend most of your time. Sorry it didn’t work out for you.

You get all of that for the base tmo one price if you use delta perks

Don't think so.

It does depend a lot on where you live. Out west T-Mobile has very spotty coverage outside of larger cities or along interstates. I dropped them after a road trip through Montana, Wyoming and S.D. I learned the hard way my plan only had 10MB of roaming data per month in those states. 10MB! That was gone after day one of a ten-day trip.

That was a few years ago, so things may have changed.

Barstow? Upstate Washington is too far of a commute. But it looks like a nice, little, sleepy town on the Kettle River. Terrible cell coverage! :D

We have T-Mobile. My wife's office was in a T-Mobile dead zone. They provided a coverage device at no charge that extended coverage in her office.

You definitely do. $120 per month for two lines of unlimited talk/text/data, unlimited gogo, international 3g, Netflix, and unlimited hotspot.

I'm under an old plan with DL discount. I added it to just one line.

Bottom line is you get what you pay for. Very slow International. I wait for hotel or get wifi in restaurant/bars. I couldn't live with slower service domestically.

Baja.

sflpilot 06-15-2018 12:19 PM

The one thing with T-Mobile unlimited data is they limit your video quality to 480p which isn't great. Most youtube people upload in 1080p. So they don't really want you using a lot of "unlimited" data. It's weird you'll go inside some buildings and T-Mobile will lose the signal completely.

Not true. As a Delta employee you the the Amplified plan which is unlimited data at HD quality - 1080p.

Learn to write a complete sentence. Did Delta teach you that?

Denny Crane 06-16-2018 04:05 AM

Been a T-Mobile customer since I first bought a cell phone. It’s been fine for me........That could be because I live less than a mile (as the crow flies) from their U.S. headquarters!:). As an international guy, I love all the perks such as free Netflix, international texting and airborne WiFi.

Did you not learn basic english when you were in kindergarten? How’s the sentence not complete? Obviously it should have said get instead of the twice, but apparently you weren’t smart enough to figure that out. And why the attack troll? I simply corrected your mistake and you attack me? Grow up moron.
