Decided to stick it out with TMO, think AT&T may be OK but hedging too.

I did cancel my TMO service when I first heard about this merger. I do HATE TMOs non-metro area data speeds (HORRIFIC EDGE or GPRS or just nothing). After thinking about it more though & reading how fair AT&T was with Alltel customers I said, heck with it, I'll restart. Seems they will grandfather us? I personally have 2 lines with 1000 Minutes & MyFaves, Unlimited Messaging (both) & Unlimited T-Zones (both, web service for non-smartphones) for $72 a month with a AAA discount of 14% paying the taxes. If AT&T does takeover & keep my deal the same, I just gain a larger coverage network & pay them. I did decide though to also pick up two $25/month Unlimited Web/Text/300 mins Virgin Mobile Androids on Sprints network & have been very happy wi...

Of course if they oust me from my plan forcing me onto some current AT&T deal, I will likely leave. There is supposed to be a "grace period" where we will be able to get out of our contracts with AT&T if we don't like their terms & they won't grandfather us TMO refugees. I would use that, if offered, to leave & ironically go back to AT&T through StraightTalk for $45/month unlimited everything & get a Nokia Smartphone. I do love Virgin & Boost & they come in handy for data while traveling along most interstates & cities but their "overall" coverage is not that good (Sprint native network only). I need at least 1 phone on Verizon's, T-Mobile's, Sprint (with their roaming agreements) or AT&T's network to get that quality voice coverage.

By Law, you would only be able to opt out of your Contract if your carrier alters your coverage or plan in any way. If you are not under contract on your myFaves, and I think you might not be becuase that plan was discontinued, then you are not part of that group - you must be under a current contract to have the opt out option if they change your service. I can also tell you that at&t already agreed to honour T-Mobile's customers that are under contract if the merger is approved.

I can only go by what they did with Alltel Customers. They did indeed grandfather their plans & when switching their phones out to AT&T phones (like TMO customers will have to do if they want 3G or 4G service), they gave those customers 1 month to decide what similar phone (to the one they had) they want & if they wanted to continue their service with AT&T. Within this month, Alltel customers were given the chance to cancel their contracts they had had in place with Alltel or accept the subsidized phone with AT&T & continue their contract & service with them.
