Too little too late? There’s only one thing people care about these days and it’s coverage. I love everything T-Mobile, but we’re obviously seeing the problem with having a European investor. They lack the understanding of American consumerism. It starts with advertising, secondly pricing, and lastly gadgets. Think back when ATT first started to advertise 3g, most companies, except Tmobile already had 3g in place but ATT was really the first to bring the term to mainstream. That plus the Iphone advertisement hype, launched ATT. Pricing, 49.99 unlimited sounds great, but what they don’t say is, hey, we’ll give you 49.99 unlimited but no phone discounts. That’s right you can’t opt to get a 2 yr agreement for a cheaper phone, and get the 49.99 unlimited plan. it’s one or the other. So any money you save over the long run, gets eaten up by the cost of your new phone. Gadgets, get the IPhone already, you have it overseas, stop letting ATT jerk American consumers around. If Tmobile were to merge with any other major company then ATT would be the only remaining GSM company, which would really really really be sad. If T-Mobile wants to really play with the big dogs, they need to expand there coverage ASAP. End of story. How can they expect to improve when they have the same coverage area a Nextel. Great customer service can only do so much, at some point you have to expand your network, you can’t just expect to service the major cities anymore.

For tmobile to turn around sooner, Tmobile must let tmobile usa customers free international roaming on tmobile networks oversea.
Most people travel oversea they love to take their lovely handset with them so they can use it oversea t-Mobile will bring in more revenue. If tmobile not allowing thei tmobile usa customers to roaming on tmobile networks oversea, people will unlock the phone and buy the sim card oversea for used on tmobile handset. They how t-mobile lost that big revenue. why don’t tmobile taking advantage of the brand name.
Friends of min travel to oversea with Verizon handset get what they have to pay a lot of money for roaming on other networks. In China and other Asia countries T-Mobile brand name is well known.

I think that would be an excellent idea. Free overseas roaming when you are in another T-Mobile area no matter what country.

I don’t think Merger…I think it may be a forced merger with Sprint….Think it this way…T mobile will buy metro PCS and possibly cellular south shortly…I firmly believe that….That ups their customer base to 40/41 million…sprint REALLY only OPERATES in their CDMA band about 25 million customers in the CDMA space, another 8 million in the iden space, plus the mergers, etc, etc, etc.
net net…T mobile will put sprint in a position of merger or be split into landline/Wireless operation….and the wireless division will be eaten up…

The problem DT has with Tmo USA is that its been stagnant. Nothing they’ve tried so far has brought massive amounts of postpaid customers over from other carriers.

Phones: Bold, 4 Androids, and the TP2…. just as good a line-up as any other carrier
Coverage: voice coverage is the same between all 4 major carriers, Tmo 3g data is smaller but in most major cities and is much faster and more reliable than the other GSM provider.

Tmo has the pieces in place, but needs to launch a real wow phone (be the first carrier to support flash) and be more aggressive in there advertising.

Mergers scare me…especially when not properly thought out. It still scares me when they think its been well thought out. Sprint merger is a fiasco…unless they plan not to integrate technologies. Also Sprint CS sucks….can’t teach an old horse new tricks….
