Best Buy Looking to Be Your Next Cell Phone Store
Best Buy and T-Mobile
As Congress looks into wireless providers exclusive agreements with phone manufactures, why not look into the arrangements of Best Buy only being able to offer AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint?
Thinking of myself as a well-informed shopper in anything I buy, I cannot be lured into switching providers based on free Blackberry Storms or with an ADV priced iPhone. I have been with T-Mobile since 2004 and will continue to be a customer for years to come. ...

I think this is either a T-mobile thing or a Verizon thing. Cause back in 2003 the wireless company I worked for wanted to sell Verizon but they said since we sold 4 national carriers that we had to get rid of two in order to sell them.
What did I say that was false? Obviously I pointed out that there is some form of Group Boycott that is taking place.
In competition law, shuting out a competitor based on what ccanady just said about Verizon is a violation of the Shermanx Anti-Trust Act.
Without saying sources, it was not Best Buy who said T-Mobile couldn't join the party there in the store. Obviously, they are in the store as PAYG.
Not sure what part of the country you're in, but in the Southeast and Northwest, T-Mobile was not in the stores that I visited, other than PAYG.
Why not become a one stop shop location for all companies? Just means that you might bring in more customers who had bad service else where. Most important of all, if a customer is shopping for a phone, regardless of carrier, they will be walking out with a phone since everyone is at the same party.
