T-Mobile in NC

Does anyone know when T-mobile might make a move in this market? Or why they haven't yet? I'm moving there from Colorado and would like to keep the same service / port to a local number but it doesn't seem like an option. The fact that I can roam on Cingular / ATT is OK but with no data access it's not an ideal setup.

no spectrum to buy there, until there is we can only make roaming agreements in NC and SC, other network fetaures wont work while roaming as well, VM, 611, mobile to mobile, etc defintely not ideal set up, wish we could get towers there ☹️

An agreement with Cingular/ATT prevents T-Mobile offering service in NC. It was the same type of agreement that ATT had with Suncom in VA and Cincinnati Bell in the Cleveland/ Cincinnati OH markets.
