Two Indiana Markets Score T-Mobile 3G
Scoring?
First let's have T-Mobile score decent 2G nationwide coverage and then they can worry about their 3G. 🙄
...
T-mobile has improved greatly over the past year or so. i have a g1 and 3g was just released in my area. it is just as fast as my brothers omnia on verizon. not a fanboy, but i enjoy my tmo service.

You said that last time. Ill say it again,
you clearly have not had a tmobile phone in a long time. because their coverage and 2g network is complete, which is why they are working on 3g.
...
And I'll say it again,
For the past 5 years I have been inquiring as to why in 3 towns in the state where I reside, the 3 other nationwide providers, Verizon Wireless, AT&T Mobility, and Sprint have coverage and T-Mobile does not. Explanation
I was given: "Not in our budget"
DO YOU CALL THAT NATIONWIDE COVERAGE??????? 🤣

T-Mobile tends to only focus on the larger markets. For instance, if you look at Michigan, it is quite noticeable that T-Mobile relies on AT&T for roaming in almost 60-70% of the state. T-Mobile does not do a good job at covering areas that aren't considered "urban" or in a very dense market.
...
So another words their growth potential is limited. Someday they might get up to 50m customers, but Tmo will never reach the strata of 70+ million customers because like you said, strictly dense urban areas is where they devote their attn.

Thats why deutsche telecom has been looking some sort of financial backing. They realized that the only growth was going to be attained from merger and unfortunately their is nobody worthwhile to take over that has remotely similar technology. So now they are hemorrhaging money because their latest marketing project (the even more confusion plan) has been a failure. What does even more and even more plus exactly mean to the average person. The way you present something is 3/4 the game so if you have an ambiguous name to confuse the already confused masses in your advertising campaign, you better believe your dollar return is going to be a disappointment. And i'm not saying this because i dislike tmo, (i'm actually a customer) but I'm disappo...

Well isn't the "Even More" & "Even More Plus" plans too new to judge whether they've been a success?
...
Jashmay , what you say makes sense but you have to let at these marketing campaigns with a reference point. Find any body you want and ask them if they have heard of the 'Droid'. I bet you would find a bunch of people that would say either they know it or know someone who has it. Thats a good example of a product that was marketed successfully [and its only been available for a couple of weeks! ]. Now go ask somebody about even more /even more plus and watch them give you confused looks. Becareful of asking a girl about even more plus because she may think your proposing prostitution of some type LOL.

Michigan is not a TMO home market for the most part it was covered by Centennial Wireless, especially in Grand Rapids/Lansing and other parts of the state, so ATT bought Centennial, so now TMO customers will roam on ATT, but overall Michigan is a bad example of TMO coverage. I agree that TMO is mostly in larger towns, but they are trying to expand their reach, but they will never have the same power network as ATT or VZN.

T-Mobile has no coverage at all in Newton County or Benton County Indiana, and coverage mainly along I-65 in Jasper County Indiana. In Benton County, T-Mobile phones are paperweights, as AT&T is the only GSM carrier in that county, and allows no roaming. I don't kno...

People that understand the true reasoning behind it.
If those tight-ass suburban areas would let T-Mobile and Sprint in it would benefit everyone.

Even if Tmo has the money or means, throwing a crap load of towers up or new antennas is not that easy zoning wise. We have a town near the city I live and the town absolutely fights time after time against any more cell towers or infrastructure. Towers already present during AT&T or Verizon acquisitions, seem to be grandfathered in. This is another factor in why Verizon and AT&T are so large. Sprint and Tmo have tried without success in providing coverage in this area. Also a national park in Upstate NY is a same argument. AT&T is the sole provider in this area due to no more zoning of towers. They are trying to ease up on the restrictions but are meeting opposition. I am sure this is not as large as an issue nationally, but I do feel it is...
