REFARMING IN FT WORTH TX
Does anyone know if Fort Worth has been refarmed to 1900 yet? I wish to use a non aws phone and would be happy with hspa
Re: 3G Refarming
Ok but I thought 1900 was EDGE and 1700 was 3g I was under the impression that edge and 3g (wcdma) were two different technoligies but I have no idea behind the theory of either type of network
Re: 3G Refarming
Will all the TMO customers need new handsets in Vegas to get 3g service now that T Mob is using 1900 for 3g?
3G Refarming

Re: TMO 4G
yourvoiceofreason said:
I wasn't going to comment on this, but was it not decided that HSPA+ (tech significantly faster than 3G) could be called 4G?
If that is the case, (which I know it is), why do people love to ignore that? People act as if that never happened.
That being said, I don't know the answer to the original question and was hoping to read the answer...but oh well..
I do not want to start an argument but is ...

Re: Apathy...
i know i have been harsh on TMOB's customer service skills in the past but to be fair in the real world you cannot expect people knowing their job is up in the air to focus on the task at hand properly i have been in that jam before and it is no fun it will bring an entire office down fast and everybody needs a paycheck
Re: So what are all you T-Mobile people gonna do...
HELLO......
i feel bad for existing t mobile customers i was with t mobile for a while and was not impressed with the customer service then.now that they may lose their jobs i do not see them getting any better but to be honest i would not put my best efforts into a job i thought or knew i was going to lose soon either

Re: number 1 in customer service???

number 1 in customer service???
every time i need customer service help on the phone i am on hold for at least 45 mins for the pleasure of speaking to a person with a very weak grip on english if i do not get hung up on during our transaction and have to start over or i could go to the local TMO company store (i35/seminary) just to have them try to put me on the phone with cs and more hold time ...

Re: T-mo & android
also remember TMO has some of the best prices for service so some other areas may suffer a bit like R&D or advertising so that they can provide better service just a thought i may be wrong
