Lookin to leave Big Red

Yes, they have the most coverage...but customers are PAYING for it, no doubt. I recently got my first blackberry and with the LOWEST minute plan, i still pay almost $100/month for the blackberry play with VZW. I tried T Mobile about 2 years ago, and the coverage in my area in Central NJ (08880) was pretty bad. Recently I looked at the coverage map on the TMo site and it looked like it's improved in my area...I may be thinking about giving it another try. I think I'm going to get a prepaid TMo phone to test it out again before switching.

So...for those of you that have TMo service, are you happy? Anyone on the East Coast (especially if you're in the NJ area) how is the coverage?

Any insight would be great. Thanks everyone 😁

Yeah VZW does cost a lot and TMO is a lot less expensive. I'm very happy with my tmobile service and the company. (I work for t-mobile)my recommendations would be to pick up service from a true tmobile owned store in your area and go everywhere you can think of where you would normally go. In's and Out's. Test it. If it comes back good and you are happy stay if you are not happy you'll probably continue to be unhappy with it... Nothing worse than a unhappy customer from the start. for you and for tmobile. I say this seriously T-mobile ( as a whole) really does care about their customers and if being with a different carrier because we cant provide you with the service you want most of us would recommend it.

Thank you so much Fleance2k5...i did run out and get a T-Mobile prepaid phone to test it out and so far i've had service at home, work, and the stores i've been Xmas shopping at. I'm gonna try it out a little longer, and if I continue to get the service wherever i go, i'll be leaving VZW.

Thanks again for the input! Much appreciated! 😁
