T-Mobile is good for me 90% of the time. There are certain buildings like my barbershop where I get zero service though

 

[carver]

Yeah the cities have been great to me..pretty much the same as I had with att. Haven't gone outside of the city with it since I've only had it about a month or so.

Up north might be tricky..att used to give me 1 or no bars in my girls parents cabin..but on the lake I'd get 4-5. I would imagine tmo would probably suck as bad out there.

ATT or Verizon is probably your best bet if you're gonna be on hikes all the time. If you're in the cities a lot tmo does not disappoint.

I've been getting late texts on TMo lately. Heck, I dont even get LTE at home. If my monthly wasnt dirt cheap I wouldve jumped on Verizon months ago.

My MMS messaging was tripping on me last night, I assumed it was Textras fault. Still cant beat T-Mobile in terms of quality/price

 

[sreggie101]

T-Mobile won't work well yet in the most rural of areas but they offer the most value for the $ and its not even close. They are working on getting building penetrating signals up (this year?) And they are strong in all major cities.

Two years ago T-Mobile didn't even have a LTE network.

 

[Rootin4EverybodyBlack]

Got pretty good service everywhere I went in the DC area, Detroit and Miami. Didn't go to any real rural areas, so I can't comment on that.

Its nowhere near Sprint tho. Sprint is absolute garbage. They cost me a few jobs because I couldn't even do phone interviews with their crappy service and if you ever leave them they IMMEDIATELY send you to collections before they send your final bill.

**** Sprint.

 

[bamez]

Im getting 5 bars of LTE with Tmo at my sisters house at a new development in Vegas, where I'd barely get 1 bar on AT&T.  

 

[rillo561]

T-Mobile is definitely investing in their infrastructure/backbone, I live in the city but sometimes have to travel to rural areas. The ending of 2014 I've notice that LTE has really expanded to those areas, even in buildings.

 

[elderwatsondiggs]

[COLOR=#red]I switched to T-Mobile from Verizon while I lived in Dallas last year for "value" reasons. The service was so damn spotty, and the data was so inconsistent even with full bars that I GLADLY went back to Verizon. You get what you pay for, end of story. T-Mobile is cheap for a reason.[/COLOR]

 

[antidope]

It does what it needs to for me. I dont need service in the bottom of a mine shaft nor will I ever be in the Appalachian Mountains so I dont need AT&T and Verizon

 

[championboyz7]

I see the majority of users in this thread use tmobile. You guys happy with the service? Thinking bout switching over to them, but you always hear about how tmobile and sprints networks suck balls. In any major city I get service will always be good, but is service outside the major city that bad? I do a lot of hiking in rural areas and would like to have my phone for emergencys haha. I'm on att and get coverage everyyyywhere

Appreciate any feedback.

You can do a test drive online. You put your car as a deposit for the iphone 5s theyll send you. You test out the service for free. For 7 days.
I will say this.
My boy had att we used to run speed test i would kick his *** 9/10.
I had verizon while also having tmo the speed sucked **** and for some reason i never got FULL service on my iphone.
Tmo gives you good coverage if you live in the city which is fine with me.

 

[elderwatsondiggs]

Hmm, I wouldn't quite call Dallas

It does what it needs to for me. I dont need service in the bottom of a mine shaft nor will I ever be in the Appalachian Mountains so I dont need AT&T and Verizon

[COLOR=#red]Hmmm. Well I wouldn't quite consider Dallas Texas a mine shaft, nor the Appalachian mountains since Dallas proper is the 9th largest city in the US and the Dallas-Fort Worth Area is the 4th largest metro area in the United States. I lived in Dallas proper not even the suburbs and the signal was crappy and inconsistent like crazy. Then of course in the burbs it was even worse. I mean if at the end of the day peeps prefer T-Mobile because it's cheap than so be it, but those who demand a quality network will not even look at T-Mobile.

The amazing thing is that peeps in here will spend so much money buying multiple phones, but cheap out on service. That's like putting regular gas in a Rolls Royce Phantom [/COLOR]

RootMetrics’ latest report, which involved conducting an astonishing 5.7 million tests and testing more than 6,200 indoor locations across the United States,[COLOR=#red] found that T-Mobile finished last among all major carriers in terms of overall performance, network reliability, call performance and text performance[/COLOR]. The “Un-carrier” can hang its hat on beating Sprint in data performance and network speed, although it still trails both Verizon and AT&T by a substantial margin in both categories.

 

[carver]

I'm on Tmo for 2 reasons. Their plans are cheaper and they offered unlimited data.. all for less than what I was paying at AT&T.

The coverage where I go is on par if not better than AT&T.. I haven't tested it up north but in the cities my speeds are double/triple AT&Ts LTE. I had no problems with att.. they just throttled me after 5gbs and that was unacceptable. I went through 20+ gbs my first month on tmo. No reason to pay for Verizon or ATT if I'm in the city all the time and the signal is the exact same.. on top of the other networks throttling me after a week and I'm stuck on poverty speeds the last 3 weeks of my cycle.

If Verizon works for you, great.. 

Tmo works for me.

For the most part dallas looks good.

If you believe a coverage map from a carrier

[COLOR=#red] This dude right here using a coverage map as his argument. Coverage maps don't take into account network inconsistencies, dropped calls, inconsistent data, and poor penetration in buildings due to the spectrum that T-Mob uses which is trash. Try again


Just saw what SP posted. Exactly!

[paulwest1985]

Any note 3/4 users here? I'm currently contemplating jumping from an unlocked sony Xperia z Ultra to either an unlocked note 3 or 4. Does anyone have any suggestions? The S pen is a major selling point for me. I'm also with Metro PCS

 

[championboyz7]

Coverage map has been updated to reflect cover atm. Aka if youre not receiving signal in xyz area tmo takes that into account and will show it on the coverage map.
As far as my area the coverage has been on point 98 percent of the time.
When i first got service by my house it wasnt it showed cloudy service.
The past few months theyve fixed it. I check now and its all good. I dunno about yall. But my **** be on point.

I've had T-Mobile for almost three years now, I love it.

Price for S6 Edge is

Actually T-Mobiles coverage map is one of the most honest out there. And it is funny that you mention signal since the FCC has been holding auctions for companies aquiring spectrum and T-Mobile has been very active in collecting low frequency spectrum that solves a lot of the short comings in T-Mobiles signal, such as indoor signal in particular building types. Also with wifi readily available nowdays and the fact that T-Mobile offers wifi calling, that is just another way of expanding your signal.

But you do you man, Verizon right now is king of coverage, but lets not act like it is impossible for another carrier to catch them.

As far as you ATT cats go, I have no idea who would choose them, if you are comfortable paying that price why would you not go for a better carrier in Verizon.

Price for S6 Edge is 

 ...gonna have to reconsider now 

Just peeped. 

Galaxy S6 32GB  – $0 down + $28.33/month x 24, $679.92

Galaxy S6 64GB  – $99.99 down + $27.50/month x 24, $759.99

Galaxy S6 128GB  – $199.99 down + $27.50/month x 24, $859.99

Galaxy S6 Edge 32GB  – $0 down + $32.49/month x 24, $779.76

Galaxy S6 Edge 64GB  – $99.99 down + $31.66/month x 24, $859.83

Galaxy S6 Edge 128GB  – $199.99 down + $31.66/month x 24, $959.83

Will the Edge flop? More expensive than the i6 (its direct competitor I'd like to think), and more expensive than the i6+ as well. No hardware superiority from the S6. They should've priced the Edge to be competitive with the i6. 

 

[stay lurkin]

It won't push as many units naturally but I think 'flop' is a pretty strong word.

Upon further review though, I have been feeling the S6 more whereas I was digging the Edge before. Does the S6 come in green?

But the Edge would have to be marketed purely based on aesthetic, the curved screen has no benefits aside from appearance. Hard to justify an 100$ increase with no hardware benefits. Even the i6+ had hardware improvements over the i6 for the price difference. A curved screen and +500mAh isn't going to win over many consumers. Also unfortunately no, the S6 gets an electric blue kind of colour. 

 

[stay lurkin]

Well damn

That green is fuego
