I'll be moving to NC soon, and it would be nice to have some stores there. I remember a rep telling me they have no service there as in stores, etc but you still have good coverage.

I'm confused. Why are you in such a hurry for the stores to change the name? I can tell you that so far this buyout has not been so good for me. Just last week i had to update my voicemail to t-mobile voice mail from SunCom. First problem was when i went in to change it, I was listening to a automated voice in spanish. NICE, NOT! After I had customer service fix that problem the second problem occurred, no voice mail notification when I receive a voice mail. After 4 days no one can fiqure out the problem and I have called 6 times. I for one never had issues with SunCom and was totally happy with them. So far T-Mobile has shown me very little.
