I live in New Orleans and have always had a problem receiving a signal at my house. Recently, my phone has been switching over to AT&T wireless and my signal is MUCH better at home. I called and was told that there is a sharing towers deal between the 2 companies (but I never noticed it before.) I thought it might have been a temporary thing due to the Hurricane that came down but Cust. Serv. told me it has always been that way. What I really want to know is this: 1.Is it permanent? 2. Will I be charged roaming fees? (I haven't as of yet unless I call to check my voicemail under AT&T).

when will t=mobile get edge service and phones. its been probably a year or 2 when EDGE was released but t-mobile still hasn't gone with the program. i hope by the end of this year they might get some kinda edge service and coverage nationwide. does anybody know of edge for t-mobile anytime soon.

does anyone know if T-Mobile has coverage in Grand Canyon (south rim)?

I posed this question on cingular forum and received and answer that was informative, was wondering if there were any comments from t mobil customers, this is in no way putting company vs company.Im just inquisitive.

Does anyone have any confirming reports to T-Mobile carrying the a630 more then we already know from the scoop? Are we going to for sure carry this model? Where can I get more info? When is any US carrier going to offer it? I am dying to find out more on this model. 😕

i just got dropped from assurian the other day anybodie know where i can get some new coverage i really would hate to lose my 6230 and not be covered??? 😢

anybody heard about some new Nokia's being available for T-mobile?

I just got mine and cant be any happier never had the 1st one. The closest thing i have to a sidekick is the Ngage, which i still like and use....BUT that might change the longer i play with my new toy...lol lol By the way i got it for $199.99 @

I am looking for a pre paid service for USA only.Each one of the carriers seems to have a "hidden" charge, like Verizon .10/min but .25/first min connection fee. I notice ATTW pushes many pre paid plans and T-M has a few.

Does anyone know which is the most cost effective to use?

Hi, currently I am a rep for Verizon Wireless through an auth. agent. I know about VZW and how they work and everything and would not leave them unless I really thought there would be some advantage and I want to know if there is one.

My question is this, I know if I went with T-Mobile and had a Family Share plan with two Sidekick II's, one for me and one for the wife, both with unlimited data for $20.00 - If I was in Europe or some coverage area where it was going to be .99 cents or more to make a call - would we be charged anything extra for me tx t msg'ing from Europe and her back to me? I assume no...

Taking it further, would I be able to check my email without a .99 cents per minute fee? Also, what about getting onto AIM I assum...

Ok, there has been a steady release of new phones over the last couple months with T-Mobile. I know it's been posted before, but can anyone tell me what new phones are still do to come out in the next few months. if possible can anyone tell me the months they might come out?

I have a Laptop and a T-Mobile Motorola V600. I know I can use the V600 as a modem to call my Internet Service Provider (ISP) and only use up my air time but the speed is rather slow (about 10 kbps).

I've been told that to access T-Mobile GPRS network I have to dial *99#. Do I just use air time to use GPRS or do I have to sign up for some data plan? How fast is GPRS? Also, what carrier has the access code of *99***3#.

Thank you very much for any response.

i'm upgrading to a sidekick II, and wonder if i should have asked for the new number along with my new contract. i wonder if it's too late.

im trying to find out where can i bid on T-MOBILE CARRIER returns, overstock or discontinued phones, i hope someone can help me.

Has anyone other than me noticed that the T-Mo specs for the recently introduced ( recently to T-Mo that is, months ago for everyone else) Moto V600 are changing daily on their OWN web site?

Yesterday it was a "tri-band" phone (of course everyone out there knows that it was engineered with a quad-band radio, covering 850, 900, 1800, & 1900 Mhz GSM).

Today it is a "dual-band (900/1900)" on the web site.

Its bad enough to think that T-Mo somehow monkeyed with the software of this phone to disable the 850 Mhz band so that you couldn't take the phone with you to AWS or Cingular but now they don't even give us the 1800 Mhz band (which I may use in Europe - some of us do have a reason to go there).

After waiting for a month or so for t...

Is anybody else with me on this, i am getting tired of hearing his endless cingular sales pitches on every single issue. . no matter whether it is on a phone or coverage or whatever else. BEAT IT PIMP

I am about to switch to TMobile and wanted to ask what phone does everyone recommend?

My concerns in order of importance are:

1.) Reception, especially in fringe areas.

2.) Battery life.

3.) I have had bad luck with Nokia in the past so I will not consider them.


I use my strictly for business (3000 minutes+). I do not care if it is flip or bar. I NEVER use AIM, camera, web etc.

Again, all I care about is reception and battery life.

If you have experience, good or bad, let me know and please provide details. I've seen lots of post where people make comments that I consider irrelevant opinions (ie camera doesn't look good, software slow, etc). These types of issues are not related to reception so I don't care.

Any...

does anyone know if the new sony ericsson phones are going 2 be available on the
t-mobile carrier. specifically the z500. i want that phone so bad, no matter what anyone says that phone is gonna be the most pimpest phone. i just want to know if it is going to be available on the t-mobile network. i have the 2 year agreement, plus i am not paying for it currently. so i really want this phone and am not able to change the carrier, and i just want to know if its gonna be on it. thanks for any info.

hi all,

if my t-mobile number is a mobile alabama #, with the hurricane possibly
affecting service, would my phone have no service if i was in another state?

reason for my asking, been living in another state for years, in a reliable
area, and yesterday from about 2pm CST till this morning, my phone had no
service. calls to CS yielded either a replacement phone, or a ticket created
for the tower to be checked. i did ask if there was any possibility of the
hurricane affecting my AL based area code, and CS said no. but i found it
too coincidental.

any other thoughts?

thanks,
parker

Can anyone tell me how many characters the v300 can send in one SMS please?
It seems to send two pages on even the shortest of messages. My previous phones allowed as much as 300 characters but this phone seems much less.
Also, the instruction book I was given is vague in the extreme. Is there an on-line one I can access?
