T-Mobile Adds Detailed Coverage Maps

There coverage is very spotty and voice quality sucks!
ATTWStoCingular said:It's always nice to see someone give such a well thought out review of a carrier's service. "Sucks!". Great. Very descriptive.
They need to do a little more then that to take a real bite out of Cingular or Verizon and soon to be SprintNextel.

As for the maps, I think it's another reason why Tmobile's customer service is looked upon so fondly. It certainly helps in the trust area as well. It's almost as the company is saying "We may not cover the entire continent like Cingular or Verizon, but we work where you do and we'll even show you".

Thats all t-mobile is about good customer care! No coverage just care! all people want is just coverage these days so dont give us that **** about customer service.
POW!!! Excellent argument! You must've gone to college!
Look at T-Mobile's Coverage map in comparison to Verizon or Cingular or Sprint's Digital (as in full service) Coverage areas. They are very similar. TM doesn't service Analog systems, hence the smaller coverage area. And they are expanding their coverage area just as much as everyone else.
You pay less for your plan and lose the analog service in out of the way areas. By the way, in the Arizona market, Cingular customers can't port away fast enough to T-Mobi...

I dunno... I think there'll always be a place for T-Mobile. No, they can't quite compete toe-to-toe with the big boys like Verizon, but as a low-cost, urban-only alternative, they have something to offer.
regine44 said:Another brilliant assessment. Have you ever USED Tmobile's service? I have.

The interesting thing about the maps though is this - our store carries both Cingular and T-Mobile. The Cingular map shows an insane amount of converage in our area whereas the T-Mobile coverage looks so-so because the maps don't show the roaming coverage that is available. The thing is - the Cingular map shows huge amount of NON-EXISTENT coverage. In one case they show coverage for almost an entire county where they have NO coverage. What's really ironic is that the T-Mobile shows no coverag...

regine44 said:Good Lord. I live in South Florida as well, people. Tmobile's got the area covered like a glove. I don't know where this guy/gal gets his info.
Also to add to that if you look at the coverage map street wise you still don't want. Especially in south Florida T-mobile is the biggest joke carrier i have ever had and i thank god i got out of my contract. And don't give that **** about cheap plans. Cheap PLANS! NO SEVICE WHAT WHAT YOU Pay FOR IS WHAT GET!!!!!!!!!!!!
Do you post anything constructive?
The fact is T-mobile realizes they have problems and are upfront about them.
This also shows that the company is investing in LONG TERM fixes (increasing the network).
If you elaborated on topics a little more you'd understand; spectrum is really holding the company back at this point more than anything.
The ratings have been displayed. T-mobile was ranked #1 for overall getting what you paid for.

Your listing is pretty much what people are looking for (which T-mobile does excellent at). Furthermore, the topic at hand here is not that the T-mobile phone works everywhere, but rather than T-mobile is being upfront about coverage they don't have.
Rant and rave about carriers like Verizon who have service in a lot of areas; their service (relating to customers) is terrible. Customers can now see upfront if their phone will work with T-mobile service. This is not only building trust but also forward-thinking.
An analogy that would work in this situation is you wanting something at a resteraunt and the waitress telling you, listen that's not very good. Like you wanting T-mobile service, and th...

To add to that..they're not going to lie to you and show you this wonderful coverage map that shows all coverage as the "same quality". What you see is what you get. I think if ALL of the carriers did this, you wouldn't see the "great coverage" that many of the companies tout.
Being a t-mobile hater is just stupid.
Just my two-cents
My understanding is that T-Mobile is currently setting up roaming agreements with different regional carriers on the 850 bandwidth and plans on releasing more phones that use that frequency. If this happens, coverage area may eventuall...
