SunCom is offered through out the Carolinas, but their service is sh!tty. AT&T bought half their towers, so they have no partners. You can roam in your own house. I actually seen people roaming in their corporate stores. Then they say if your off network is more than 50% they will kick you off. So, people would buy them, and roam within their own bedroom. So what is SunCom's solution: Either you pay double to bill to use your phone anywhere within the state; get kick off and go somewhere else; Put roaming restrict on your phone so that you can't use your phone at home. If T-Mobile does come to Carolinas, they will have to build more towers ASAP, or pay an arm and a leg to use AT&T's.

Plus, SunCom has one of the WORST credit classes in his...

your full of crap. Suncom will NOT let you roam in you home area. That is why in eastern NC they have no service north of Beaufort NC and you can't roam either. ATT didn't buy half their towers either they always owned thier own from day one. They sold them all to another company.

Tmobile will clean it up fast and in a hurry. It will not be an issue at all with them.

not in NC trust me! I have had suncom themselves tell me that and friends that had no service were they dotn' have any in NC. Suncom told me that I have to get out of their coverage area to be able to roam! The info in the phone to allow it ot roam does not include any towers in their home area!

Their CPGA is very high also, however, their ARPU is better than T-mobile and AT&T.

if they don't pay their bills. SunCom's problem is that people won't pay their bills.

Actually, Suncom’s postpaid do pay their bills. The issue has to deal with actually acquiring new customers is very expensive to do so. They also have many of their customers on month-to-month, which typically do not pay their bills and have issues. They also have a good mix of prepaid customers who do also.
