DETAiLED MAP of T-Mobile's NATIVE coverage - including FORMER SUNCOM in Carolinas!

[AndThenScottSays...]

If 300 towers are going up there's bound to be or two that fall off the truck down this way. THEIR coverage isn't an issue unless they drop AT&T roaming (at least here). I was looking at the coverage viewer and they allow AT&T roaming in some of rural Virginia... so maybe they'll keep it here.

I really want to switch to you T-Mobile! Please don't let me down now!

theres no way they are adding hundreds in just NC/SC by September honestly. it would take at least a year but likely well over, closer to 1.5. even with being co-locations. they are stretched thin on network upgrading as it is. thus the 3G delay.

You can believe what you want. I know hundreds of cell sites have been added (the number is actually getting closer to 400), and AT&T roaming is being shut off in many places (Wisconsin is another one). The process started after the merger was announced (which was September 07), well before before the merger closed (which was February 08). T-Mobile has extra staff in the area, not fewer, for this transition.
