The deal here is that T-mobile bought the 3G Network off of some other peoples. But the people that they have bought the network off of is like still occupying that network. So t-mobile has to wait for them to leave. And from what Ive read, that could take anywhere from a week or two to a couple of years.

I personally am tired of T-Mobile putting things like this off and other things. Im pretty fed up with them so I think I am going to switch to another carrier.

☹️ 😢

but other carriers are not as reliable as T-Mobile
I heard the mass activation will be in April (6-7 devices will be available then)
sorry SC and NC customers, you have to wait till the acquistion is finalized, T-Mobile can do nothing on Suncom nodes before then

that is only on half of the country. The other half is occupied by the DHS and they are not planing on leaving anytime soon.

Altough T-Mobile does have their strong points such as good customer service, and CHEAP, data and coverage have never been their strong points. I live in a metro area and am still on GPRS in some areas vs EDGE, and I have no service in many, many buildings. I hate to be negative, but if data is in your near future, I would not stick around and wait. Bottome line every carrier has their stengths, and also their weeknesses. ☹️

After close to 10 years, going back to Voicestream, I got tired of waiting last month. Switched to Verizon with a BB8830 world phone and haven't looked back. It's only been a month, but not a hiccup, reception strength is light years better ( I actually get reception indoors - what a revelation), and total cost with data, BB, etc, is actually right about the same. Sorry T-Mo, it just took too long.

The goverment has the frequency for survallence purposes and will not let T-mobile have it until they are finished with it. its not T-mobile's fault.

yes it is they won it at auction and spent millions and they knew there was no time table for them to vacate the spectrum. And since it was DHS and they can claim national security there is no recourse if they don't.

they actually paid the gov. 50 million dollars over the bidding price for assurances that the spectrum would be vacated by this past summer. you see how well that worked 🙄

well they are even stupidier then I originally thought as they were also told there were no guarentees when the Gov would vaccate. One reason the othe rcarriers did not bid on it!
