Question... We moved to Greensboro, NC from Phoenix, A. My wife has tmo. We wanted to change her number to a local number but they told us they can't cause they don't have service here. We are roaming under SunComm. Do we have the right to cancel our contract w/o an ETF? thx D |

I found it - the switch from Suncom to T-Mobile is on September 5.

Hi there Tmobileman! I am in need of some help! A friend of mine just renewed her contract mid-August, first with the purchase of the Blast, returned that phone twice due to bad reception and finally purchased the Katalyst. She likes that phone, but had to pay $130 plus the two year contract. Now three weeks into it, the phone is free with a two year contract and T-Mobile says there is nothing they can do for her. Most places have a 30 day price adjustment, but apparently T-Mobile only has 14 days. She has talked to a few different people at T-Mobile and she is just getting the company line. When told she would get out of her contract they said they understand her frustration, but could not help her. Do you have any suggestions? It amazes me that they don't care about making a customer happy! Thanks! |

Tmobileman: In the thread below (Is Tmo's customer service slipping) I posted that I had contacted pre-pay c.c. twice yesterday (09/19/08) & it sounded like I was speaking to another country. This is the first time this has happened to me in 7 years, is something changing? More curiosity than any problem. Thanks, Mike |

Do you know how accurate the coverage maps are regarding roaming in south Georgia? The appear to be very erratic and sporadic. Also has anyone been able to force roam while in south Georgia? Thanks !

| Roaming coverage is more approximated than native coverage due to the coverage being from other providers, so it is not updated as quickly if new towers go up or old ones are decommissioned, you should be able to force roam as long as there isn't a tmo signal available by doing a manual network selection, if your phone won't register on the other carrier's network the roaming agreement may have ended or there towers may be having issues.

Thanks. The tip off was the long wait time, much longer than usual. I bought a Nokia 1208 with a free $25.00 refill card. The package was $19.99 The c.s.r.'s were friendly & helpful but one person told me that the phone came with a sim & the other person said it did not Thanks again, Mike |

Hi TMobileMan, I have a question about the 3G network frequencies that T-Mobile is using. I've seen that they're using a dual 1700/2100 frequency. If I get a phone that just has the 2100, can I still use the 3G network (I've got an unlimited internet plan with my account)? I'm thinking of getting the HTC Touch Pro: HTC Touch Pro (T7272/TyTN III) from Clove Technology The Android phone won't work for me. |

I've copied a couple lines from the Technical Data: Network HSDPA/WCDMA: Europe/Asia: 900/2100 MHz, Up to 384 kbps up-link and 7.2 Mbps down-link speeds Since it doesn't mention USA or North America 2100 MHz, I'd expect not. Europe pairs the 2100 with our 1900 MHz band (I think), and NA pairs the 2100 with the bottom of what Europe calls 1800 MHz (and has been renamed 1700 MHz here). That way, the same radio section can be used in both areas (with proper programming by the manufacturer). COtech

Images: 344 | Your right. In order 2 use t-mobile 3g, the phone has to have the 1700/2100 bands in it. Its also called the AWS or 1700 band. The european 3g phones use 2100 for downlink and different uplink frequency in the pcs 1900 band, so they are not compatible with tmo 3g. Look for a phone that says 1700 or aws band iv on it and that should be compatible. Keep in mind that there aren't too many phones out there that have it.

T-Mobile needs to update their 3G FAQ: 3G FAQs "What frequency does your 3G network support? Our 3G network supports both the 1700MHz and 2100MHz frequencies." It ought to read something to the effect that your device must support BOTH 1700Mhz and 2100Mhz to work on the US 3G network. |

I've got a question. T-Mobile has recently come into Southern Illinois (Carbondale, Marion, Murphysboro). How long before they cover the Harrisburg area? Since Alltel has sold out to VZW, there's no other provider here. I'm interested in T-Mobile since it has a similar plan to Alltel's "My Circle", but don't know if i'd qualify due to my location. Is T-Mobile CDMA or GSM? Thanks. |
