T-mobile & Nashville
Hi! Well I have a tough decision in my hands, some of you might even think that i'm stupid for even thinking about switching.
I currently have sprint, I've had them going into 2 years now... well anyways... They have been great but I'm bored with their phone selection. seems like every other carrier is bringing out the fun phones đ
I want the MAGENTA RZR that T-MOBILE has... I'm worried about the coverage tho. I am in the Nashville area and I go to Virginia, all over tennessee, Kentucky, Georgia and well sometimes California.
From experience, how good/bad is the actual reception and coverage? is it even worth it? I need some honest answers.. thanks!

Tmobile doesn't work many places in and around nashville. I had probs with tmobile in antioch as well as over by charlotte pike. I had sprint too...sprint worked better for me. I would stay there if I were you.

Go to tmobile.com...click on phones...click on Coverage...you can do what is called a personal coverage check. Now I do know that a fair amount of our coverage in Tennessee is thru roaming agreements...
Check it out on the website...that would be your best bet.
California is great coverage in the cities.

I've done that âšī¸ unfortunatelly is a lot easier to get a LIVE opinion from people who either work for T-mobile or who are actual users around the area. A company can put up a map promissing you the world but that doesn't mean is going to happen, and switching is quite a big decision to take, at least from me.
Thanks for your help tho đ it seems to be pretty good so far, I just would like some opinions
Also, does anyone have the RZR with Tmobile? how good or crappy is it?

I don't own it but I have used it in the past when I tested it out. Liked the slim form factor but I thought it was too big width and heighth-wise. Decent reception for a Moto.

Hi,
I have the RZR and travel quite extensively in the areas you mention. I have had both solid performance from both the phone and T-Mobile's service. I live in Va and travel to TN, Ga, and Ky. I think many of the problems and gaps people mention in the service in these areas result mainly from hardware issues and not from lack of service. I have a solid signal from T-Mo all over Nashville using the V3. It is only when traveling into the state of TN from Va that the phone toggles over to Cingular. Once closer to larger cities it switches back to T-Mo. I also travel to areas in east TN. Knoxville, Norris, Oliver Springs and have had great service. The roaming agreements that T-mo has in place seem to be appropriate to bridge gaps it ma...

this review helps so much! thanks! you know after having the reliability of sprint for so long is kind of a huge step to go to a complete different market. I also travel to Johnson city, Elizabethon, kingsport in tennessee, have you been to this areas? what is your take on it? what about reception inside buildings? I know.. it also depends on the building structures and what is around, but if you can generalize that would be fine too, again thanks a lot! đ I am wanting that pink rzr pretty bad! lol

If they have roaming agreements with Cingular then they should have coverage in this area. I live in Franklin, TN near Nashville.
My friend has T-Mobile and unless he stays in the downtown area or in larger metro areas around here is always roaming.
T-Mobile coverage while traveling I-81 East towards DC is spotty at best unless there are Cingular towers for them to roam off of.
As far as KY goes, Cingular has the best coverage there for some reason. For just about everywhere else its a toss up between Cingular and Verizon as far as coverage goes (unless you travel out west then you better have Verizon).
I have both Cingular and Verizon and between the two of them I am pretty much covered everywhere I go.

I live in the area you mention. As mentioned earlier, 850MHZ capability will greatly increase the coverage you can receive by Tmo's roaming agreements with Cingular. TMO's 1900 coverage will hug the interstates & major population centers. Cingular will get you service in smaller towns away from the interstate. (Dover, Hohenwald, Waverly for example) while providing a good cushion for the more urban/suburban areas.

Just an FYI....most of T-Mobile's roaming agreements in the 850mhz spectrum are NOT with cingular. I wouldn't count on coverage where cingular has it. Also, a roaming a will only occur when it has been made available by the two companies (hence roaming *agreement*). If cingular...
