Tmobile ranks #2 for reception.
Go to: http://www.wirelessreview.net/stats.jsp . Now this data is based on overall statistics. The info might not apply in your area. So please do not post anything saying that this company worked better than that company, and say that this info is incorrect "blah, blah, blah". I read it all the time. Companies works better in different areas. But overall statistically this is the ranking in reception and breakdowns.

i tend to ignore those and go by local info only. even the crap from consumer reports can be made to go in a direction they would want (all you need to do is pick or keep markets that are known to be better for certain carriers then others and viola!).
Yeah thats true. But you can't say that this info was based on a certain area. It could be based on several major areas. I wish the data could have explained what cities were they in when they did the testing. Thats why I said that this information could be more relevant in your area than it is in mine or visa-versa. More likely they tested the cell providers in more than one city. Some people think Sprint should be in the bottom but some may think...

This company seems to market to the teen and early 20 set. There coverage is geat when local but is negligant when on the road say on 40 crossing the border into New Mexico...Thats why free roaming...no roaming.
Great Carrier if you don;t leave your home area much!
Just admit it that they offer services for less money than the other carriers.

Well thats not always true. Tmobile covers about %95 of USA's major high ways/streets. So if you like to travel on major highways you're in good shape. Plus, tmobile hasn't been out as long as these other carriers so you know that their coverage area isn't going to be as good as others. Most people don't even travel out in the boonies. But, if tmobile keeps growing rapidly like they have in th past ...

JDigital said:Yeah, but to experience 3.1% churn something's not right.
That churn rate may be accurate, but they actually NETTED about a million new subs each of the last two quarters.
JDigital said:Yeah, it's not like that number's gospel.
Well, I don't know if that's an accurate number, but I certainly don't have a better one. I was just assuming he/she is right. My policy is not to argue unless I know I'm right. Novel idea in a forum like this, huh?
When one leaves a major through way the signal is gone. free roaming,but no service. Its great if you live in a city and travel the major freeways. The cheapest and the best value perhaps. I think thats why they market the way they do.
I just don't see the coverage in the vast areas of Arizona, Nevada, and the Southwestern corridor where you an get a signal from many other carriers
There is a reason the service is the cheapest as well there is a reason why Verizon is overpriced and over bloated.

Tmobile ranked 2nd out of the top 7 carriers right behind Verizon in reception.. The worst ranked provider is Nextel. See the data for your self.

That's possibly the most UNscientific data I've ever seen in my life. LOL. Pathetic. "Oh, look...pie charts". LOL.

Buddy, I'm not one of those Verizon groupies that worships at the alter of Vodaphone. I could care less if Verizon was the number 6 ranked carrier in the US...as long as they offer the service they do I'm happy. And I looked at the data...and it still doesn't look too scientific to me.
Hey, I agree, those graphs look a little shaky, my point was, i wanted to know how and where the data came from so I could make a more educated assesment.

How cute, they're colour coded too 🙂 I had a shade of polish in that green.
And anyone look at reception by phone? I don't know anyone with a Kyocera.
