T-Mobile Confirms SMS Rate Hike
Not the same T-Mobile
It seems like T-Mobile is straying away from its niche market. With al la cart text prices being increased by T-mobile for the second time in year and half, it certainly indicates that they are going away from the low cost vendor identity. With T-mobile still lacking a 3G network and spotty coverage, what is the advantage to this carrier. Didn't Virgin Mobile just lower their text rates to a penny?

why do you think they are raising prices. they need to pay for network upgrades some how.

C'mon crackberry we all know that everything should be free. Texting should be free and the brand new smart phone should be free. If I drop that cool new phone in the crapper I should get one for free, in fact you should pay me to stay with you. T-Mobile should snap their fingers and make a big pile of cash appear for the upgrades to the network. Nevermind that they paid alot of money for their 3G spectrum already, then had to wait. People just have this strange sense of entitlement and we should just give them everything with out reciprocation.

🤣 🤣 🤣
Sounds like half of my customers.

Who does this really effect? Most people who do text messaging already pay for the bundle packs. Only the few people who do a couple text a month to their kids.
Plus our 3g will be fully rolled out by fall so yeah we are getting better.

i worked for t-mobile 2 years ago and all i heard from our rep is yea tmobile is rolling out 3g any day now. 2 years later and still nothing.
...
why do i have to "educate myself" as you say i am telling you what i was told 2 years ago from my old t-mobile rep
...
I don't doubt what you were told,we all were. Educate yourself as to why there is an issue, and realize that is not the carriers fault. If it was up to T-Mobile they would have the 3G up and running everywhere right now.

The government has decided to take its sweet time to get off the spectrum that will be used to power T-Mobile's 3G network (surprise, they take forever to do ANYTHING nowadays). Got a problem with waiting? Take it up with the government. 🙄
I, for one, have no problem with waiting, as I am a happy T-Mobile customer, and am not one to call and complain that I'm not getting a free BlackBerry and free service for a month because "I've been a 'great' customer for years and I was misinformed about 3G being up today when it will be up tomorrow".
Should T-Mobile pay for your gas too, as well as force the government to get off the spectrum or they'll "vote for the other guy"?
God, I should lay off the coffee... 🤨
