I'm not the typical profile of a Tmobile customer...I'm 67yrs old,been using cell phones for 10yrs and the last 4yrs I spent on sprint(the worst )..on Nov 5 2014 I ran down to Tmobile,bought a galaxy note 4, paid upfront and it's been awesome being customer of Tmobile..I get 5 bars of service in each of 3 cities around me and at home...the 4G lte is so fast I can't believe it..it almost as fast as some WiFi I've used when I'm out at the mall...i took the top unlimited plan..when I received my bill it was exactly what we agreed on and no surprises...my Tmobile bill is only one I enjoy paying because I love this company and the great service I'm receiving...this guy legere Is my hero and I'd follow him into battle because he's a winner and his vision for mobile industry is fantastic...One question is how do I get a black sweatshirt like he's wearing with that great T on it...TMOBILE IS AWESOME👍
Epica124 their coverage has gotten better over the last few years. Besides, thanks to his changes in policy he has affected the other companies for the better.
dportal844 Yet he is not trying to improve there coverage. In fact he out right lies. There are whole parts of the USA that are not covered by T-mobile. So then he brings up wi-fi calling. Oh great now let's say I'm in any area that has not wi-fi and no coverage with T-mobile and I need to call for help? Well I guess I'm out of luck? Right now T-mobile beats sprint in pricing. But T-mobile is right there with sprint in having the worst coverage. I may pay more for Verizon but I get great coverage. I can make phones calls and hear people on the other end and so on. If he wants to clam that we the people getting these plans are winning he would use the money they have got to grow there coverage. Until they will always be 4th at worst 3rd at best.
Epica124 the whole lack of coverage is a non issue for most people. If you live in one of the main cities or near the cities you shouldn't have any problem with signal. I live in Miami and i go around the city and have service pretty much everywhere. I also have visited many places over the last few years and the only time i had no service was when i was camping on a national park here in Florida. But we were in the middle of nowhere. Pretty entrenched on hillbilly territory. I could see paying Verizon's luxury fees if you travel a lot but if you are in a major cities there is really no point in paying extra.
dportal844 Ok but not ever one live in a major city that's the problem. And i do live near a major city and my coverage was crap. I have cover with Verizon. So its not a non issue. Its is any issue.
This guy has a plainspoken way that I appreciate. As a Verizon user, I find it very refreshing what they are doing and am seriously considering switching once my contract is up.
I just switched from Sprint to t-mobile last night. Along with my new phone LG G3 and the first thing is I said" Holy crap their are 4 bars in my own house!!!" For years I would be lucky to even get 2 bars and last a phone call in my room that had half a bar! My first time with LTE as well and its stupid fast!!
I freakin love the unlimited/free music streaming. I use spotify all the time and I burned through data on att very quickly. Overall I'm surprised at how much I'm enjoying T-mobile. loads of great features.
Wait so the 1900MHZ 3g or older 4G which has already been refarmed in most areas to HSPA+ is gonna be changed to LTE speeds as well. So like the Moto G's etc will get even faster..?
haha I love David he's quite the character! I used to work at walmart and sold so much T-mobile (wish they would bring back post-paid to walmart tho) but family mobile sold a LOT anyways T-mobile is going to take over the market its always been going to happen so here we go. best luck going forward T-mobile continue to dominate and I'm a happy customer for life!
I live in Finland and my contract has unlimited calls, unlimited messages and 50Gb of data with unlimited LTE speed :) and the best part is that it costs just 19,95€ a month 😁👍
Irtiza Sami The Finland small, USA huge argument is crap. Population density is the deciding factor, and that one of Finland is even lower than the one of the USA, so the costs should actually be higher. Assuming you build a mobile internet tower and the cost for building one is the same in both countries, then the country will less density will have the problem of covering less people with that tower, so that means every customer inside the tower range will have to pay a larger share of the tower investment cost. That can only be done with higher prices for mobile internet. And that's obviously not the case, as it's the other way around in an extreme way, so it's just the American companies being greedy.
Irtiza Sami Wikipedia, CIA world factbook, or whichever you want. Finland pop density: 41 per square mile. USA: 88.6 per square mile So if you build a tower in the USA, you will cover about twice as many people.
Oliver Nagel yeah.... Exactly.... Except it works against your argument. If you actually know about wireless, you will understand that everything has to do with spectrum. If you have low band 700mhz spectrum in low population density areas, one tower will give a better experience than having a higher population density due to data traffic handling. What this means is that lower density areas are easier to cover than higher density areas. The more people you have, the more bandwidth that you need, which increase costs significantly. What you are saying is that it doesn't matter what people use, just how many people are within the coverage area, which is fundamentally incorrect. Yes, one tower can cover more people on higher density, but the experience will greatly suffer because you will have lower bandwidth PER CUSTOMER. Meaning slower speeds, less reliability, and more congestion. Thus, you need more towers to cover a greater population density. In other words, the original reply was correct. You are wrong.
Being able to tether your phone is enough to make me look into switching over. I am a web developer and it is stupid that Verizon wants to charge me $40 a month to use my phone as a hot spot when they already took away my unlimited data and gave me a 2 GB limit when I did my last phone upgrade. You had the choice to lose your grandfathered in unlimited data or pay full price for a new phone, basically extortion. Occasionally I am out of the office and it would be great to be able to handle emergencies on my laptop using my phone's data, but I am not paying $40 a month for something I would use maybe once a month at most.
I have iPhone 6 Plus on Sprint 4G LTE in Stockton, California. $50 for unlimited data and $35 lease on iPhone each month. It beats T-Mobile's $80 unlimited data plan.
im not sure Johns coverage map is actually right. several several issues around oklahoma with it. the network still blows here. its random between edge and lte all over the place.
I thought John Leger sounded unknowledgeable on the cellphone data topic when he mispronounced ''gigabyte'' but that's not a fair assessment because I think everyone has mispronounced a good portion of words in their lifetime and we can say that it doesn't necessarily mean one's less knowledgeable about it because of that. Nonetheless, that was my first impression (that he sounded unknowledgeable) yet I feel I would get mad at someone who would think the same of me for mispronouncing a word and thinking I was less knowledgeable because of it....this human nature's hypocrisy is tearing me apart.
T-Mobile is on the outskirts of my area in freedom ny and if they would add a few towers they could add lots of new customers who for now only have Verizon or at&t to choose for now if they add those towers they could expand lots of new customers
I don't think he has any idea just how often customers get sent to the outsourced CS reps. They are OBNOXIOUS because you can tell that they are trying to keep you on much longer than is necessary so it results in an overall horrible customer experience.
If your phone has band 12 capabilities, T-Mobile LTE will work almost anywhere. I work in areas where none of my coworkers have signal, not one bar. Just no service. But with band 12, I get full LTE bars.
It has already started, the mobile industry has begun the race to the bottom. Hey T-Mobile, how about providing wireless voice, text, data free for life? Paying for anything these days is a huge pain point.
Why not just sell a plan that's unlimited and not waste everyone's time with this data nonsense? Some months I use it more and some less, but there are a lot of things I would LIKE to be able to use Cellular data connection for, but since it's too costly, I turn it off and use WiFi connection, which is slower and not always available. Just offer a $75 a month UNLIMITED plan and stop the bullshit. Stop the charging more for tethering, stop charging extra for roaming, stop charging extra for throttling, and stop the bullshit.
truly unlimited is simply not possible...how much data traffic networks can handle are finite..whenever someone advertises 'unlimited' is means that after a certain amount they'll slow you down but they wont charge you for an overage.
If you'll fall for this lie then your going to be burned I have been trouble with my phone service for goingon 8 month's now and it still has not been fixed so I got to let the fcc take care of it now. And when you call customer service they can't help you out and the call's keep dropping and this has been going on of 8 month's now
