Why does T-Mobile not use the little message indicator instead of sending a text message when you have unheard voicemails waiting?

I find this very annoying and have been looking to switch to another carrier just for this reason. Now that Cingular has integrated AT&T's towers, that make me even more eager to switch for the better coverage as well as proper voicemail indicator.

Any T-Mo guys here that know why this is and if they are planning on changing this?

I'm currently on the 1000 minutes free nights and weekends for 39.99 a month. No other carrier can touch this deal, its great! Anyway, when my contract ends in March of 2005, can I just stay on this contract on a month to month basis?

Also, can I get a new phone in my 11th month? Will I have to sign up for a new year contract, even if my deal is no longer offered for 39.99? Can I sign up for another year on my existing contracT?

anyone know ? Thanks in advance!

I activated my T-Mobile account 3 days ago. The website says I need to wait 72 hours to activate the My T-Mobile and be able to do things over their site... Ok, I waited and now it simply says the service is not available... I have heard complaints about this before, is it ever available for new people to sign up?

Also, I just had them put T-Zones on my account, how long will it take for the service to kick in as I can not yet use it. They said it'd take 2 hours for the 9.99 unlim txt so I'm guessing it'd be about that time for the T-Zones also?

Is there a number to call like Verizon to 'sync' my phone with their closest towers or anything like that?

Ok, put all of your arguments aside.....Now that Orange & Blue have merged, Verizon & Sprint are next. Largest GSM network VS. Largest CDMA network.

Where does that leave You (T.M)? Dead along-side of Nextel.....Where ya gonna go? Nowhere.

So try your 3 day weekend, Talk or Walk, etc.....but with your "spiderweb" network (as all the rest of us call it), good luck on not bleeding customers profusely within this next couple of wireless-industry-history-setting quarters coming up. Good Luck T.Mobile. Bye Bye.

After reading a review on the Motorola i830 phone(NEXTEL), i have read that t-mobile will be getting Push-to-talk soon. Here is the exact quote and link:
This is a great phone and a big step for tech-laging nextel. I would recommend this phone to peole who are nextel loyalees. However, T-Mobile if offering a PTT service soon, and that wil lbbe the best, simce T-Mo is adding new towers and improving their service. They also have the best plans, by far. One thing that could be changed on this phone is the "spot light"... it could be changed into an actual light for better photos, and videos should be longer. It will be interesting to see the phat farm i860, since it has an IR port, SD slot, and TV TUNER!!! I rate this regular i860 pretty go...

I am in the market for a cell phone... but i noticed something about conversations i have had with any kiosk or store i've gone to..

When i am talking to a Representative about the downfalls of there service, while at there store or kiosk, I automatically get a rebuttal of how another service has larger downfalls.. my rebuttal is that i was talking about there service and standing there talking with them.. Not @ the competitors..


to me a situation like this is bad sportmanship.. can't we converse on a level that does not badger the competitors.. can people take a blow without pointing the finger.. or is this what it will always come down to...

try a new strategy is all i'm asking... when asked about your service, answer with your...

I have a sidekick 2 with unlimited data and a voice plan. Do I qualify for the free Friday's too or do I have to have a plan that is over $39.99 or something?

I just switched over to T-Mobile from Verizon Wireless. I bought a Motorola A630 and had a simple question about the Bluetooth. What exactly do I need to use it and start transfering things over to my phone? Do I just need to buy one of those dongle/usb commectors from Ebay for the bluetooth? Thanks..

Is there anyone with good knowledge as to when this phone is to appear at t-mobile. I was going to get the P735 but I much prefer this phone....HELP

Ok everyone, PLEASE ya gotta help me out on this one! I know I work for the darn company but I just can't make up my mind lol! I'm eligible to upgrade here in the next month and for over the last month I've been thinking about what I want, but I still have to be practical in that I can't afford anything too much, but I don't want bottom of the barrell, too. With T-Mobile thus far I've had a 3650(just too freaking big), V300(piece of crap),V205(loved it but met an early fate with the washing machine) and for the last several months I bought someones old R225 and have been using it without a hitch, simple and plain, crystal clear reception, easy to use, only one problem-I'm a sucker for gadgets, its driving me nuts not having any. I like what ...

I was wondering what T-Mobile had up their sleeve for the year 2005? Like what phones, plans, Data service, etc? 😎

Thanks!

I love tmobile & been w/them for 3 1/2yrs. I've always had a samsung phone & had no problems-I'm very clumsy. I'm looking to upgrade my phone & was wondering if anyone can give me any insight on the Samsung D415, E715, & p735 (which i love the looks of)& whether i should wait for any good rebates on any of these products. I apologize for the questions 🤭 but would greatly appreciate any info 🙂

Just a thought, rather a discussion I had gotten into, not necessarily carrier specific, what are you all's thoughts on this:
With the increasing security in the U.S., some places are beginning to ban camera phones for of course "security reasons". If for example you went into a zoo, or subway, or heck even tourist attraction and were asked to hand over your camera cell phone because someone saw you using it or from a bag search, etc...-Would you consider that violating your personal rights, or would you simply be ok and understand if its for security reasons, then whatever I have to do?

Hello,

I'm having some problems uploading ringtones to my phone (SGH-E315), and I was wondering if someone could help me. I'm using PSMPlay to convert midi files to mmf, but I can't seem to e-mail them to myself successfully. The attachment never comes across in the e-mail. When I send it as an mmf file, I get a message saying "attachment dropped". I even tried renaming it as a jpg file, but then I get an error saying "unsupported content type". Am I doing it wrong, or is T-Mobile restricting me from uploading my own ringtones? The files I'm creating are only around 10k in size too. Do I need to spring for the data cable?

Thanks!

I'm already in the industry (work in direct retail) and have a "angel investor" who's willing to fund me in opening in my own store.

I know almost nothing of the inner workings of the indirect channel however. Do I work through the company or a master dealer? How much startup capital is needed? Do I have to leave any deposits? How do I order handsets?

Any Tips/Advice/Guidlines/Contacts/Pitfalls would be GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks!

I had a chance to go to web.archive.org
and key in voicestream.com
and see the past voicestream website
T-Mobile US (including VoiceStream) has been only 7 years of business
if you see the renamed site in 2002, and look at the un-clickable mini coverage map, and compare the current one, you'll be amazed how the coverage expanded
by the feedback, T-Mobile UK, DE, CZ have good coverage in either 900 or 1800 band, then we can expect they keep building more network, signing roaming agreement with partners
>70% residental coverage is just a matter of time
T-Mobile US has gained a whooping 4M new customers, made about 35% increase compare 2003
company reputation is a major attracting factor, my personal experience can tell which one is bet...

why is there such a big battle of what carrier YOU have dose it really matter if (your name here)guy/girl has something differnt from yours,sounds like iam in high school everytime i read a carrier form on this site!!! 👿

Thanks to this forum I now know how to send a picture from my computer to my phone and to use picture as a Wallpaper. I'm wondering however on my Samsung SGH C 225 if I can use some of those pictures and have them pop up as caller ID pics? In other words when someone calls that I have added to my phonebook I would see the picture I assigned to their number instead of the generic screen. Is this possible with this model phone? I see something on MY TMOBILE about caller ID pics but it only states where you can download some, not how to apply it to your phone?

I recently moved to LV. From your experience which carrier gets the best reception TMo or Sprint PCS?

Thanks in advance for your feedback. 🙂

Does anyone know if T-Mobile is planning on expanding Wisconsin coverage? There are several areas (between Milwaukee and Madison, I43 in southern WI, etc.) that don't have coverage. Cingular has these areas and a lot of upper WI where T-Mobile doesn't. Perhaps a roaming agreement?
