Verizon Vs T-Mobile
you all are dumb.
Verizon has better coverage than Tmobile yes. however, do you need the coverage Verizon boasts so much about? Seriously, most verizon customers only use their cell phone around town and in their homes, places that Tmobile get the exact same coverage around, and V Customers are paying up to $20-$30 more per month for this! Unless I go to BFE (ButF****ingEgypt) then my Tmobile phone works great, and in some places better than verizon, if I ever travel outside the united states I will also be able to use my quad band GSM phone.
If I do not like Tmobiles selection of phones I will buy a European or Japanese phone off Ebay like the Nokia N90 (look that bad boy up you Verizon Fan Boys)

Everyone doesn't live in the city, in fact there are more rural areas then city areas. Where I am we are about 30 miles from a large city. With most cariers if you aren't near an interstate you can forget it.

Thats why T mobile lets you roam for free on other networks.
Well they lose the ability to roam of Cingular by years end. Hey has anyone noticed how these t-mobile folks seem to go from forum to forum bash every other carrier saying how great their coverage is. If you look at their map it likes like someone had a baby sneeze. Personally I think that if a carrier needs people to go on public forums and bash other carriers they must be having problems. Not to mention t-mobiles shady commercials. Really do not trust that carrier.
...
Thats because as T mobile customers we no what good service is about we have been with other carriers and we have finnally found one that gives us the best value out their. I m sorry that we make you guys jealous

I actually like T-Mobile. They have good CS, Catherine Zeta-Jones, and awwww, their tiny widdle network is soooo cute. 😁

Hey tmobile person.
I think, in my humble opinion, that verizon is a lot better then tmobile for a few reasons.
1. bigger network and coverage area
2. 3g data products
I just think you really can’t compare tmobile USA to verizon yet especially since tmobile USA has many things to do before they can even compare themselves to them.
Yes, tmobile USA does offer some good services and products, however, not against verizon’s robust network (coverage area) and 3g products and services. As much as I agree with that tmobile USA has very good customer care and awards, they are no match of verizon. Compare the quarterly subscribers growth from the two carriers, you can’t.

I agree. In fact it is unfair to compare T-Mobile USA to Verizon or Cingular because T-Mobile USA has only been around since fall of 2002. The other companies have been around a lot longer, so keep in mind that T-Mobile USA is the youngest national carrier in the US.
...
Yes, that is true. That they have been out since 2002 but also that they lack in many areas to even be considered a competitor against verizon.
...
Yes, but I am arguing that they are still too young of a company to be a competitor to the big carriers. but you got to admit they have exploded in thier growth in 3 years' time.
...
Ok it is true Verizon deffiantely has a bigger network and a bigger customer base. That paints a good picture for Verizon and alone probally sales phones and plans for them. You can deffiantely compare the two carriers though because they both offer one major thing and thats mobile services and pretty much the same kind of mobile services. The main thing you can compare is quality of service and many other things. It would probally not be right to caompare their coverage and their customer base.
...
yes! we agree!
anyway, it was a great dialogue that we have now and been having but I am going to be going now, so have a great Friday and weekend and will look forward on continuing our dialogue on Monday.

Verizon is 5 years old.
Cingular is JUST 5 years old.
Sprint is way old.
Nextel anyone?
T-Mobile is three years old.
There isn't that much difference. Two years isn't going to put any company over the top. Age is no indication of a company's wellness. Look at Sprint for the proof.

Yeah but sprint has keept ther name verizon bought out Airtouch and several others. Cingular was formed by bellsouth mobility and many others. T mobile was formed by voicestream which was formed by Powertel and many others. So the list goes on. Nextel has been around for awhile not sure how long though.

You are mistaken. Cingular wasn't formed by "many others". They were formed by only two companies, Bellsouth Mobility, and SBC.
They did absorb AT&T but the fact remained that they were still Cingular.

Not a few, just two.
Cingular was formed by SBC and Bellsouth. That's two. When they absorbed AT&T the fact remaied that they were still Cingular.
T-Mobile is a combination of a few smaller regional carriers. Voicestream and Omnipoint are the two majors that I can think of now.

Jealous of what? The only carrier I think Cingular needs to worry about is Verizon. My understanding is Verizon has good customer service and coverage. T mobiles coverage sucks and they use deceptive advertising, by making people think they will be billed for roaming charges for 911 calls or use up airtime. This is the biggest lie ever! T mobile may not say this exactly but the imply it in their ads.
...
They never billed me for roaming. Even when I browse the web and send messages off the network. Can't get that from verizon
...
I'm not sure what you mean by surf the web. Not all phones can just surf the web. I mean with a data cable or something you can. As far as that goes, it's in the works. You can in some places at this time. There is no set thing that says where it will and won't work though. They are in the process of making that possible.

My opinion is that T-Mobile can't even touch verizon when it comes to coverage. Yeah they have more minutes for you money but that is because there coverage is horrible. Unless you are in a big city or something the coverage is horrible.
I live in the woods and my verizon phone works amazing in and out of my house. My friend has T-mobile and he has to go down the street to get service.
So all in all verizon vs tmobile.
UH UH Definite Knock Out with one punch Verizon wins

Even Verizon's prices are damn close to T-Mobiles, so anybody who went to T-Mobile just because they were "cheaper" is a fool. Verizon's prices come in a pretty close second to T-Mobile's.
A few more dollars a month is well worth going with Verizon over T-Mobile, for the majority of us all.

Yeah Verizon does works better out in rural areas better. I have both Tmobile and Verizon. I like both companies. NO other carriers works as good. For me, in the Atlanta area Tmobile works better than Verizon. Thats only cause Vz is having some network issues. BUt as soon as you go to some of the rural area VZ kicks tmobiles asses. Tmobile coverages 90% of major cities and highways so most likely you wont hit any dead zones. Both companies has it cons and pros.
...
I wouldn't say that no other carrier works as well. I use Cingular and had Verizon just under a year ago. Both companies provide almost identical service anywhere I have taken them, and their quality is unmatched (where I am). My friend uses T-Mobile and loves it, but it doesn't always cut it for her. We live about 30 minutes from Pittsburgh and when she travels to and from the city (almost daily) she hits a dead stretch for a good portion of way.
T-Mobile will definitly save you a few bucks a month if you're not going to be using your phone on the go, but in my case it's safer to stick with the bigger guys.

I live in Oklahoma I travel all over the state and I get excellent coverage with T Mobile
...
Okay, here we go...
1. That post wasn't for you.
2. I was talking about my personal experience.
3. I said for the majority of us it is better to be safe and go with one of the bigger guys. I don't think that most of us stay within the city limits of a large city at all times. If you move around a good bit, T-Mobile is simply not for you. Period.
Just wondering, how many of you guys live in Oklahoma?
Two? Okay...

I was bascially saying it depends on where you live. Verizon does not have all that great of coverage here in Oklahoma and many other plains states.
...
No, but let's face it, in the vast majority of states they have a lot more coverage than T-Mobo does.
Heck, looking at T-M's national coverage map, in most states their network looks like a skinny little spiderweb. They've got the largest highways and largest urban areas covered ok, but that's about it.

they do have that spiderweb like coverage, but hey at least they are honest in coverage. They show the areas that have the best coverage/ Verizon and Cingular highlight the entire USA and say they "have you covered" but we all know the coverage at best is spotty.
I have had Verizon,Cingular,and T-mobile, and they all suffer from Dead spots.
I have 3 phones with Verizon, and 6 with T-mobile,No complaints from any of the users .

All carriers have dead spots. I personally would rather pay a little extra for fewer dead spots. Especially since I live in the middle of nowhere and need the rural coverage. Basically, to each his own and each carrier has their own advantages to each person. Therefor that carrier will the absolute best to him/her. Redneck common sense. Laugh all you want.
...
It is not fair to compare T-Mobile to Verizon because T-Mobile USA has only been around since fall of 2002. Verizon has had time to grow into the big carrier that it is. T-Mobile is a national carrier, but it is too small to be considered real competition. Verizon's biggest concerns should be Cingular, aka "Cingul-Worst!"
...
Very true Cingular and Verizon are probally the oldest and the biggest. Of course Sprint has been out for a while to. Perhaps being newer has put Tmobile in a good position considering they are an all PCS and GSM network with no analog. I guess that both Verizon and T mobile have pros and cons.
...
uhhh, T Mobile used to be Voicestream, than before that in my area it was Ariel(?), Verizon only came about in 2000 before that it was a bunch of small companies (here it was Prime Co.)
...
I think he's referring to brand recognition (which is pointless, I know). In that sense, he is correct that T-Mobile is the youngest. When DT rebranded Voicestream as T-Mobile, the Voicestream name just mysteriously disappeared off the face of the earth.

Even with his argument though, Verizon is a mere 2 years older and has seen the most incredible growth of all the wireless companies out there. What is it? Something like nearing a 30 million (marjority being organic) increase in subscribers in the past 5 years. I think T-Mobile can hold claim to about a 7 million subscriber increase in the last three.

Yawn... so? Look up the Samsung 970 while you're at it, T-Mobile fan boy. 🙄
Streaming Video... Vcast only works in 25% of the market.
Actually, EVDO covers 40% of the market currently, expanding to 50+% by end of year.
we all know GSM is superior to CDMA
We do? Is that why more people in the US are on CDMA than GSM? Or why CDMA is growing worldwide at a rate of 27% per year?

GSM is more clear then CDMA the data speed is what sets them apart. CDMA can handle faster data speeds. GSM is still growing worlwide. 😛
...
I agree. I used to have a CDMA phone, but once I switched to GSM everyone said they could hear me more clearly. GSM is wonderful!
...
JUST TO MENTION CDMA IS THE OLDEST TECHNOLOGY SINCE THE BEGGINING OF CELLPHONES , AND STILL GOING STRONG. IN THE OTHER HAND GSM A NEW TECHNOLOGY THAT IT IS ALREADY DISSAPEARING.
LET'S FACE IT GSM IS ALMOST DEAD,
WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH YOU ""GSM is superior to CDMA""" YEAH RIGHT.......GSM STILL A 2.5G TECHNOLGY CDMA 3G, WITH FASTER DATA SPEEDS THAN GSM BASED "GPRS" NETWORKS AND IN MATTER FACT THEY CAN NOT COMPETE WITH CDMA SPEEDS.
HOPEFULLY THIS NEW TECHNOLOGY THE SUCCESOR OF GSM, CALLED
WCDMA-UMTS CAN ACTUALLY STAND NEXT TO CDMA NETWORKS, NOT TO MENTION THESE NEW UPCOMING TECHNOLOGIES ARE STILL BASED ON CODE DIVISION MULTIPLE ACCESS CDMA
MY THREE CENTS

WCDMA and CDMA are way different. GSM is way better for voice and CDMA is way better for data. Get WCDMA you got the best of both worlds.
...
gsm better for voice hahaha you got to be kidding me right?, I have used tmobile or even cingular both sucked,, dropped calls weird voice quality, tmobile coverage simply sucks,
another thing you might want to note,
GSM signal is limited to about 34 km distance away from towers so I do not think voice quality is better than cdma in which cdma signal can travel up to 120km or even more.

...
It is true that GSM has been found to provide generally a better voice experience. That means clearer sounding calls, not how many are dropped.
...
I don't quite know how Verizon does it but they do admittedly have some of the best call quality around. However, pick up any Sprint phone and put it to your ear, then pick up a Cingular phone. You'll see that GSM, in general, is indeed clearer than CDMA. If you did the same thing with Verizon and Cingular, you'll be hard pressed to tell the difference.
Props to Verizon for whatever their secret is.

I dunno... maybe it may say that in the T-Mobile rep training guide, but that doesn't make it so.
Check out the results of JD Power's latest national study on Call Quality... Verizon won. Yup, that's a CDMA carrier, tops in Call Quality:
http://www.jdpower.com/cc/telecom/ratings/wireless/F ... »
Far as CDMA being 'way better for data', I don't think there's anything intrinsic to CDMA that makes it far superior overall for data over GSM. Perhaps T-Mobile folks just think it is because Verizon has their 3G high-speed data network rollout well under way, while T-M hasn't even rolled out EDGE yet?
...
So they also tied in many regions with T mobile. I would deffinatley say that T mobile deserves to be ranked high. I lived in the South East and South West and would say that T mobile has great reception in both thaose regions and that Sprint needs improvement in reception in those regions
