Yeah so this customer calls in, like 3 TDMA towers in his location, I cannot tell him this, as it is a wireless Sin. Sat here for 17 minutes troubleshooting customer's phone, that he is on right now.

Although GSM can sometimes be better there is no guarantee, as well as the GSM network is still not as large as the TDMA network.

Otherwise I see no real reason that TDMA will benefit a customer, GSM has better plan, cheaper plans, and better phone options. If they don't like the upgrade there was always the buyers remorse on the device of the migration.
