Love New Roaming (850 MGHZ)
Just want to thank t-mobile for signing the new roaming agreements w/ 850 band. Just this weekend i went to Stratton Mt. in Vermont and while driving through Vermont i popped in my SIM into my Dad's Nokia 6010 (has 850 band) and bam, I had service through UniCeL throughout Vermont! That made that Long annoying Route 30 trip alot less boring (LOVE UNLIM MESSAGING & AIM đ)
Now all T-Mobile needs to do is release the SideKick 3 SOON đ đ đ (please?)

I didn't know the DOMESTIC roaming was free. Thanks.
I see cellular one and others up in the ski areas and I get afraid after being BURNED overseas with TMO's crazy charges to deliver a call that I don't answer and then charge me again to send that call back to voicemail. Paid $2.98/min ($1.49 x 2) in Europe this summer and it sucked!
At least now I can visit Vermont!

Are you sure domestic roaming is free? I was skiing up in Sugarloaf last month and low and behold, I have roaming charges from my time up there.

tmobile is NationWide meaning u can go anywhere in the US and talk for free...when i say free i mean the minutes just come from the pool of minutes u have in ur plan..the only provisions in roaming is that sometimes u may not get free tmo to tmo in which it still doesnt cost u jus ur minutes are bein used from ur plan.
...
Incorrect, if you are on a regional plan such as the 3000 anytime minute plan there are roaming charges if you are out of you area.
...
that is true. but for some reason i don't think anyone gets that plan. At least they don't advertise it at all & they put nationwide plans first and the regional plans as a secondary option.
...
As long as you are on a nationwide plan your roaming is free in the states if you are close to a border (canada, mexico) your phone may bounce to one of there towers then you get roaming =( in the country is on us outside is on you. if you did get it call customer care and they or tech support can tell you what tower you were logged into and if its here its free

To be honest, 850, 900, and 1900 are all the same to me. So far, we don't have the 850 out here in my area and I doubt it will help much because they are line of sight bands that have a hard time making it into buildings. I was talking with one of engineering collegues and he says that if we get into the new 2 GHz band (I believe that it will be 2100 MHz), then that will help us out here with all the buildings and hills. So, I will have to wait it out for a few years until our GSM networks add that band. And it will be a while. âšī¸

Sorry, but the higher you go in frequency it does not get better as far as propagation or building penetration. It's quite the opposite actually. The thing ...
