Tired of T-Mobile, Please Read & Respond.

Has anybody noticed that their T-Mobile reception has gone down since January? I lived in Michigan near Detroit and my friends and I all think that out reception has gone down since January.

I'm personally kind of tired of T-Mobile. They are not upgrading their Data service. They have, by far, the slowest data transfer speeds. T-Mobile has no plans for Push-To-Talk. They have no plans for Edge, or upgrading to 3G. T-Mobile hasn't released a decent phone since December and they have made pathetic attempts to release new phone. Siemens CF63??? Piece of Crap. Nokia 6800, AT&T released this phone at least a year ago. Cingular has discontinued the 6800. Dobson/Cellular One released the V600 and T-Mobile still doesn't have it.

In T-Mobile's defense, they do have plans to implement EDGE around year's end. The rest I couldn't comment on.

You have some really great points. T-Mobile has seemed to really go down hill. I used to actually like them. They have seemed to give up. I wished the execs from there would read all of this. They might actually try and work with their people.

Downhill? How so? LOL

Patience is a virtue people. The things you all are requesting will occur in due time. Like I have said on this website before, T-Mobile will be a force to reckon with in the next couple of years. There's a lot the public does not know, have some faith for once.

Occur in time???? Meanwhile these things are occuring for AT&T right now. When T-Mobile finally goes 3G, AT&T/Cingular will probably broadcast satellite TV to phones. I've lost my faith.

Good, good. Tmobile doesn't need faithless customers anyway.

Hey, that's not nice. There are a lot of levelheaded folks on this forum. Tmobile's been trying to get their feet under them in order to start competing more with the big dogs. Deutsche Telekom was insistent on it's USA branch getting a firm foothold before they started thinking about EDGE and other upgrades. Give them credit, they've come a long way.

I was skeptical about Ericsson phone but then again that was due to the Ericsson phone I had with AT&T mannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnny years ago on TDMA and that too on a local plan. I guess that they really have come along way then huh?

Ericsson's have always been pretty reliable phones. Some of their old TDMA/AMPS models could survive a nuclear winter. They make quality phones that have received undeserved attention due to the fact they read RF more honestly than the competition.

Ericson Sucks
T-Mobile Rules
Sprint Sucks

There is no perfect network guys, you guys need to realize this. T-Mobile may suck in North Dakota and is awsome in others, That goes for every carrier. You guys talk, like there is a perfect network. Well there isn't.

Also when you idiots get a free phone with a service, you most likely won't like it. Free phones suck, that is why they are free. Pay a little money and you will be happy with your phone and your service. You can take that to the bank.

The only idiot is the carrier that gives a subscriber a phone that doesn't work. BTW, nothing is free.

-First of all. In what zip code do you live?
-Second. What kind of phone do you currently have, and how old is it?
-Third... I have good news for you. The Moto V600 will be released next Monday, July 26th.
Yeah, there are plans for EDGE, but not yet.
If we did not release the V600 before is because we do not want any of our customers to be dissatisfied w/ the cell phone they have.
T-Mobile is striving to provide the best available handsets, and w/ less bugs or no bugs at all.
T-Mobile has rejected many versions of the Moto V600, guess why? Software problems.
No, I haven't heard any plans for PTT, but guess what: I have more great news for you, Starting 07/23/04, T-Mobile will begin supporting inter-carrier Picture Messaging with AT&...

For the V600 all you have to do is read the "User Review". Nobody likes this phone. Everything is wrong with it. Speaker, screen scrathes, volume wise on both ends. Why not bring out a phone that works?!

ERrrrrrrrr software issues my friend. Read the post as she explained it was buggy and so the user reviews will show it that way. Man your argument about T-Mo is losing it's steam....better come back to the T-Mobile shorelines before you get swept out into the Cingular sea of danger! Poetic isn't it? 😉

The problem isn't where I live. The problem is that I used to get great reception and now I get very poor reception. I have the V300 and I've only had it for 6 months. If you're gonna tell me a phone goes bad in 6 months then why does T-Mobile only offer phone upgrades once a year. Thats great the V600 is going to be released, the point is other companies have already released it and are testing newer phones. Lets face it, Motorola's software stinks, its been the opinion of so many people that it is technically a fact. Its sad to see that they are gonna continue to use it with the V80, V710, and the A845. What good is picture messaging to anybody when the cameras on the phones are no good. To tell you the truth I'm not gonna buy a ne...

Plans are in the works for EDGE in the very near future.

V600 will released at t-mobile.com and thru customer care next week. The retail stores will get it within the following days.

Anything else m'am?

I heard that your reception has gone down because they are repairing or maybe updating the cell towers that they currently have. It might take a little bit but then once it's back up, I'm sure you'll get great service. And like I've said before, would you want a phone that actually works and maybe a little outdated or a hip new phone that has tons of bugs and has to be sent in at least 10 times? Think about it.

msutela

Jul 24, 2004, 12:21 PM
This is the same old tired response from every cellular rep about their phones. All phones have bugs, Verizon claims to test the hell out of their phones. Then why did they release one that was recalled a week later. T-Mobile maybe tested the v300 alot. It has the worst software for a phone I have ever had. I've never sent in a phone 10 times. Don't care for exaggeration much either. All my friends on other carries have "hip new" phones and they don't have tons of bugs or send them back 10 times.

OK... then keep complaining. a lotta good that'll do you. I do know this for a fact because I hear about how v600 gets sent back all the time.. I think T-Mobile should just drop motorola altogether and then they won't have to deal w/ the **** anymore

An upgrade to the network should be seamless to the customer. Repairing perhaps I could buy, but why now roll in a COW or two to assist the existing base while repairs are completed?

Still sounds like an IRDB update is in order to me, unless you can verify a network issue via dashboard or whatever network monitor you folks use.
