Sprint Vs T mobile
well it depends are we talking about data speeds? or are we talking ptt? or are we talking about protection of consumer information from hackers? or are we talking about total voice coverage? 😉
you come in asking a stupid question that really has no peramiters. your name is tmob so obviously you think tmobile is hte best and just come in hear to start a fight. 🙄

No of course not. I had Sprint for two years I was a good customer for Sprint. Sprint Sucks

T mobile gives one year contracts. Thier is not much difference in voice coverge if you account for free roaming. Data coverage while roaming. Phone ugrades every 11 months not 18. Better customer service 24/7. T mobile reports good credit. After one year of good history you are off of restricted acount and spending limit. You don't forfit rebates if you don't use them on a new phone. (Web speed) GPRS VS 1xRtt seems about the same. Maybe when Sprint rolls out 3G their speed will be better.

your wrong. there discussion over. have fun in the tmob forums. bye for now, come back if you have any thing factual to say or any legitimate questions.

I guess you work for sprint I don't work for T mobile so I guess I can speak freely with out shooting myself in the foot. I understand your possition.

really. every person i meet that works for tmob tells me they can't

Thier wrong unlike sprint when you do roam it is not really obivious maybe thats why
...
The thing with T mobile is that they are all Digital thier is no anlog roam for T mobile. I the T mobile sidekick when I went down to southern Oklahoma to do electrical work I had a signal even though i was working way out in the country. I was roaming but I had my data services. I don't have to pay a dime for roaming

By the End of the year T Mobile will no longer be able to do so Cingular is dumping their roaming agreement with them.

so who told you that
Our Cingular training We are getting rid of our roaming agreements.

Sprint does not report good creidit i asked Sprint that question and I was told they do not good credit. My girlfriend has Sprint so I know they don't

As far as 3G goes 1xrtt was never completely defined as 3G It usally runs at speeds near 80Kbs max GPRS runs 20 to 80 Kbs they are close in speed. How ever T mobile will be launching EDGE which is 3 times faster then GPRS in October

OH yeah those plans that say thier fair and flexible well their not. T mobile gives you more min for slightly less then sprint.

slightly less then sprint. tmob offers unlimited nights and weekends at 9pm sprint offers 6pm so with tmob it will cost you 3 extra hours a day off your any time mins. and tmod is slightly cheaper.... tmob is .40 a min when you go over sprint is .10 a min but tmob is slightly cheaper..... you claim t-mob roams off cingulars network as well as western wireless network yet tmob phones will not work in market cingular sells product in.

T-Mobile DOES roam. They just don't charge, EVER, for roaming onto other carrier's networks. For T-Mobile, roaming where you might get charged is if you're on a regional plan (49.99 3000 whenever min no nts/wks) and leave your area, which usually includes 2-4 states. A year ago, I went to a city where T-Mobile did not have coverage, so I roamed on (what was then) an AT&T network. And we are constantly expanding our list of roaming partners.

Oh by the way as far as stores go in my home town of about 20,000 thier were about two T mobile stores thier were no sprint stores I had to go at least 40 miles to get to one

24/7 customer support unlike sprint you don't to activate over the phone you use a sim card. With Sprint you need customer service more because you always have problems with their phones cause they are not all fully compatible with the network.

i would like to reply to your posts but there are to many so i will not waist my time. if you post more efficiantly i will reply, but i have a feeling you don't want replies you just want to come in hear with your propoganda. bla bla bla sprint sucks i am a dirty tmob whore bla bla bla.... then you will show all your friends at work how mentally you totaly demalished stupid sprint people, and you will think tha tmakes you look really cool in there eyes but at the end of the day they will still continue to feel the same pitty for you they always do.

Actually I'm not here to put down Sprint. Sprint is not a bad company they just have areas that need improvement and that is the purpose of this form is to through it out their so actions can be taken to correct their problems.

actually no that is not true eather sprint does not care waht is said in this forum one whit just like t-mob doesn't care one whit what is said in the tmob forum. these are forums that richj was kind enough to create where consumers could come for answers regarding the tipic.
ie. sprint form is for questions regarding sprint service.

Actually many of my friends had sprint and they left them for the same reasons. Thats not pitty thats being smart. We have the freedom of chose.

that is because sprint customers have better things to do with there time then go from forum to forum spamming it with propoganda about how there company is the bst and every one else sucks. on thother hand i see a lot of t-mob customers that go from forum to forum spouting about how cingular or verizon or sprint or nextel all sucks and tmob is better. i have learned one thing, the only way a tmob customer can talk about how good there service is is by pointing out all the flaws in another carriers service. can't tmob stand on its own merrit? can't it ...

Do take note that T mobile has higher customer satifaction rated by JD power. T mobile lacks in many areas such data speeds and coverage thats true. However T mobile gives you cheaper plans less dropped calls, less trouble using data services and ounce again free roaming across thier network and other networks.
...
the only reason why T mobile has higher customer satifaction rated by JD power and cheaper plans is because they are so small and are trying to acquire customers. wait until they gain a larger customer based and see what will happen to thier customer service and cost of plans.

I have to agree low cost plans can only last so long.
...
It also has to deal with functionality. Low cost plans primarily offer a little bit of functionality, and when you add high speed broadband and others the price would increase. Since, Tmobile usa wouldn’t be able to offer something comparable as to the other carriers (the big 3) I am afraid that we will see many customers jump ship because they cant get the services and solutions that they want from Tmobile but can get it from other carriers.
...
If alltel and many other regional carriers can surive this highly competitive market T mobile can to. They will have to do what they do best offer high quality services at an affordable prices
...
Not exactly, true though. The other regional carriers have a specific niche that they serve and most of those companies roam off of bigger companies. Tmobile will just have more competition from those carriers as well as the bigger boys. In addition, some of those companies (regional) have 3g spectrum which they can do 3g data services and high speed services, but tmobile usa cant. Since that will burden them, tmobile that is, they have to focus on something else.

not true. you greatly underestimate alltel. they offer service in ruel arias. they have a niech where no one else does. in fact in many places alltell has no real compatition. yes tmob may offer compitition on one market and verizon in another and sprint in a third. but as a whole no singel company poses a real threat to alltel.
take a company like sprint in most maarkets verizon offers service as well. and in most markets so does singular. and in mos tmarkets so does tmob. the top 4 they all have...

or could the rumors be nothing more. It used to be a rumor that Spint was going bank rupt. Is that rumor true, no of course not. Alltel and T mobile can be compared because they are close in size by only 6 million customers. If alltel could merge with T mobile that would make T mobile a new force to recken with. We never really no what T mobiles plans are. They just now informed us that they are offering EDGE. T mobile may have 4G spectrum and we not no it.
Brings the question what next

Not many people new that sprint and nextel had spectrum in the 2.5 GHZ band
...
It wasn't common knowledge to the average American, but people involved in or interested with the industry knew.
The government mandates all the spectrum out there, it's never any secret. Nextel's acquisition of 2.5 GHZ spectrum was quite controversial. No secret there.

Well they did say state that the 2.4 GHZ spectrum had little value at one time. Im sure that their is plenty of it to go around and I m sure that every one will be bidding for it if it is really the next big thing in wireless

“Well they did say state that the 2.4 GHZ spectrum had little value at one time.”
I think Sprint said that, not Nextel and it is 2.5 not 2.4. Loll but that is alright. 🙂
Now, mmds (2.5) is a very important spectrum to get into and Nextel didn’t even spend a lot to get those markets that they have and this way with the combined merger, by the way sprint spent a fortune on and same with mci and others, that now they can serve the markets better with a LOTTT higher data speeds then Ev-do and perhaps umts/hspda can dream of.

Hey tmobile. Actually, there were rumors that both Nextel and sprint would be going chapter 11 because of their debt levels, but obviously, that has changed.
Actually tmobile USA does NOT have any 3g spectrum what-so ever or else they wouldn’t be waiting this long.

i have had tmob, i have also had fido back when it was owned by DT, i have also had bell canada, verizon, cellular one, track phone, and cingular. i do have actual customer experiance. i rember trying to get an explination on my tmob bill. or when my t-mob phone broke and i had to wait 3 days while they mailed me a new one.
i also rember when my sprint phone broke and they switched me out on the sprint store. or when the rep went over my bill with me in the store.
but hey ytou get what you pay for. and tmob is the cheepest around.......

If you can find a sprint store that is great? but sprint likes to send you out of your way to the store instead of fixing your problem with one simple phone call.

This was a great debate i enjoyed every last bit of it. All carriers have good and bad like the world we live in. I have my oppinion you have yours. So you know that. Peace out 🤣

You're right that the ability to pay $10 to go month to month is a Sprint edge. But the fact that ALL plans and phone discounts only come with a 1 yr contract for T-Mobile is an edge for them.
stevelvl said:...
2. Sprint has an America option for just 5$ more which gives you the most voice coverage in the US, this also includes analog aria which in many places it all that is available. as for native sprint coverage yes it is about equal to t-mobils total voice covera

I understand that you care about your company. As an electritian I care about my company to. I will go out of the way for my employer as long as it fair for the customers. You changed your story many times which proves that you don't care about facts you just want to kiss up to your employer. When I speak out about the way Sprint is it was all true I still dill with Sprint because my Girl friend has them. I have spent much of my time comparing T mobile and Sprint I stated the facts. TRUTH IS THE WAY TO GET A CUSTOMER NOT FEEDING THEM LIES.
...
These are the two carriers I sell the most of. Which do I think is better? I would say T-mobile is the easier company for a customer to deal with and they are generally less expensive for a customer who doesn't need to many minutes. One-year contracts are also favorable to pretty much everyone.
Sprint no longer has one-year contracts (they only sell fair/flex in most markets). But they are by far my favorite carrier to use personally. With the no roaming option on your plan (usually $5 unless you are in an affiliate market) their coverage is unmatched. T-Mobile phones DO roam in some markets (despite the claims of other misinformed people on this thread) and their map does indeed show where these areas are.
As far as data goes, S...

I can mostly agree on every thing speed and clarity. Hands down fewer dropped call clearer conversations and ounce again speed seems about the same. I agree sprint has more advanced services like push to talk and vision with the out of this world applications. GSM is a very favored technology though it may lag in speed it still is the most popular standard world wide.
...
GSM is only the world-wide standard because it was state-mandated by the European countries. CDMA is growing, for instance Verizon phones can now roam in 13 countries. I find it somewhat funny that to you "speed seems about the same" because it is not close. If you tether your phone to a computer, which I have done with both, you can actually measure the speed. I average about 75 kbs with sprint and 25 kbs with TMO, a very noticable difference.
By the way, read the JD Power and Associates survey about call quality. Sprint wins, sorry. I like T-Mobile but you points are not valid.

I have a SideKick 2 from T mobile in one hand in the other is my girl friends Sanyo 8100 from Sprint I Surf the web with both but I see no obivious difference in speed. You may be right about the speed. Of course I may live in an area where you can get GPRS runs at higher speed. It will also depend on the slots avalible for data. Class 10 GPRS is faster then just flat GPRS having more slots for data can make a big difference. So it depend on where you live and at times one network in the same area might be faster then the other reguardless of the fact one is GPRS and the other 1XRTT
...
Funny how you compare one of Sprints old vision phones and T-mobiles newer phone. Yes, it does make a difference. If you compare it with one of Sprints Multimedia phones, then there is no comparison in speed. I dont understand how you can even compare the technologies. You just hear and see what you want. Open your eyes!

I had Sprint for two years I was impressed by their phones and the applications that you could download I still think that Sprint has the coolest features then any wireless carrier. I was disappointed when sprint would not up my spending limit. Though I had good history with them. I had been a customer with them for two years and usually paying my bill on time and refereed five customers for them. 125 spending limit was real small for me.
I always had problems with dropped calls and poor call quality and the coverage was not all that great. Their were days when I could not log on to the wireless web. I payed out the butt to roam off the network.
I was feed up with it and I left them and came to T mobile. I still had a spending ...

I did not have any credit I had just graduated from high school.

If they did change thier rules then good for them but they still lost a customer.
