T-Mobile now has the FEWEST DROPPED CALLS!

Now we all know this one is not true.

 

There is just no such thing as the carrier with the fewest dropped calls. Every carrier preformes better than all the others in specific areas, no one will ever be able to say for sure who has the best coverage.

In T-Mobile's case, a call can't be dropped if it can't be made. T-Mobile's network is great wherever you can get a signal though.

 

It is my understanding that they're only using this tagline in some markets, maybe where they did well with the JDPA awards? Well that's what I heard, then again it is on their site.

 

I wonder if the page comes up based on the zip code you enter for plans, etc?

Finally, TM is pushing the (worthless) marketing hype like everyone else.... *sigh*

 

I think all carriers should give me a phone and I'll figure out who has the least dropped calls.

"#1 in fewest dropped calls, as ranked by J.D. Hooligan and associates."

That's what I'm talking about.:browani:

It seems like they never tell you which "independant company" ranked this garbage, anyway.

 

I like Moto's suggestion.

 

Yea...thats to be expected...T-Mo is usually last to the ring with things like this (3G anyone?)...I can't wait for them to start saying they've got the biggest coverage area of any cell carrier in the US. :lmao:

 

Amen to that.....its ohh so true!!!

 

i agree as well

Yeah they may have good value but they do take a long time to catch on........they only recently started coming out with EDGE and UMTS is out of the question

 

Well didnt they buy a whole bunch of licenses in September for their 3G network?
They did give a 2007 date for it...but well see.

 

Can I be in your company too? I can be the VP in charge of operations, DC Metro area.

I don't know what's going on, but aside from having the fewest dropped calls, people have been reporting today (over at the "other" site) that they have been able to access WAP sites on T-Mobile To Go prepaid, that they could not access before. Up to now, it's been limited to CNN, ABCNews, ESPN and other sites for wallpaper and ringtones.

I dug out a prepaid T-Mobile phone (which has time on it) and sure enough, I was able to access WA's WAP site, the "other" site's WAP site, as well as the WAP site of a local newspaper. The stock quote link on the newspaper's WAP site redirects to yet another WAP site and that WAP site worked as well.

I was not able to access Yahoo though.

Something is indeed WAPpening.

I was surprised also... I'm posting from my prepaid phone. I checked my email on Yahoo using the link i got in my text message. When i tried 2 go 2 the other forum, the phone crashed on me. I really hope that they are going 2 be more open with the WAP. I'll enjoy this while is lasts.

 

did they get those in the fcc auctino that i heard was going on? or did they get them by purchasing from another company who was being charitable???

Tmo has a long way to go.

 

Rumor is TM will announce UMTS plans on Friday

http://www.mobileguerilla.com/articles/2006/10/04/t-mobile-to-announce-umts.php

 

i agree.......they have large coverage for the single thing that phones started out as.........devices for voice communications....

they have good coverage......and they may be lagging in the EDGE and UMTS race but they have a lot better value than any other nationwide company in the entire US and thats what customers like........more for less

 

if tmo works for you thats just great, but for some its not good enough.

 

yep, i had tmo for 4 plus years then left, wow best move ever.

 

of course, walkguu...........youre in Oklahoma..........i live in Pennsylvania and the nationwide coverage for almost all companies is really good up here or the coverage looks thicker because there are mountains and they have to work more to fill in mountains and valleys.....i didnt have a single problem with tmo and if there wasnt tmo coverage i roamed on IMMIX.....a local provider for my county and the surrounding 9 counties

 

Ill second that Smartest...T-Mobile hasnt been around as long as the big 3, and they are usually playing catch up when it comes to technology, for now they have roaming agreements to fill in most of (not all of) the big coverage gaps that they have for now, and looking at walkgurus coverage (w/o roaming) on t-mobile is almost nil, so thats to be understood...we'll see how things go with 3g on friday.

 

i've used tmobile for 3+ years, and i had less than 10 drop calls. but i lived around los angeles. so maybe that can be a good reason why.

 

yeah.......most carriers have better native coverage up here in the New Angland states anmd out on the west coast..........other than that its all along major interstate routes and in major cities........there are exceptions of course
