(Putting on my good employee hat) T- Mobile USA is a company solely owned by a German company called Deutsch Telekom. They are a big cellular and data service provider in Europe. There have never been any interests in merging with AT&T. We were considering a merger with Cingular but decided against it since we were doing so good. We are a great company for business who use wireless data services.
( taking my hat off...) If you live between South Carolina and Maryland... your service wont be the best. We never really had any towers there so we are just now trying to service that area. Other than that it really shouldn't be any problems... we have dead spots like everyone else. I think my biggest issue has been with service inside of house and buildings... but that is alot of cellular companies. As far as the phones themselves....as any CSR will tell you...that one is on the Manufactures...we have to fight with them all the time for them to get their phone straight. But I honestly think we have the best rate plan in the business (definitely said without my employee hat on...)
All in all T-mobile isn't that bad for a start up company...we are fairly new and haven't been around as some of the others.
I have heard a lot of horror stories with Sprint though..

Possibly, you mean in NC and SC. I have T-Mo in VA and have had great coverage in the South Eastern part of the state, where I reside. I have also had a strong signal in Richmond and the DelMarVa area. But, I roam on Cingular as soon as I cross the NC border.

If possible, could you explain the new "Rich Communications" thing? I have unlimited T-Zones WAP w/ 300 SMS a month for $9.99. I hear that might change w/ the new free WAP browsing.
I currently connect to the Wireless NET thru my Tungsten T|3 using my Nokia 3650. If I moved to the new $4.99 plan, will they close my port access?

All GSM services are poorer is bldgs b/c they use the 1900/900/1800 band. the 850 band (that T-Mo USA does not use) is best for bldgs.
