@TheRogueFFAngel

thats a moot point. while their coverage may be better than t-mo, general consensus is their network strongly lacks reliability thanks mostly to so many handsets strangling their 3g while they sit around doing hardly anything about it. and thats just from a number of articles here on engadget. push come to shove i figure it mostly comes down to where you live... but hey. who just upgraded to 7.2 mbps internet last week? :)]]>Jan 15th 2010 5:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/atandt-messes-with-plans-in-wake-of-verizons-moves-slashes-unlim/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/atandt-messes-with-plans-in-wake-of-verizons-moves-slashes-unlim/
I'm not sure you should be posting anything promoting how AT&T's network kicks another network's butt. It really makes you look stupid...like Luke Wilson in the AT&T commercials. Actually, Luke is getting paid. I guess that just leaves you and others that would dare to take your position on the matter.]]>Jan 15th 2010 5:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/atandt-messes-with-plans-in-wake-of-verizons-moves-slashes-unlim/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/atandt-messes-with-plans-in-wake-of-verizons-moves-slashes-unlim/Odd thing: I was in the middle of Manhattan on my AT&T network standing 6 feet away from my friends on T-Mobile network and they could make a call and I could not. Really surprised me!

Another surprise to me: My friend and I took a road trip to the Grand Canyon (in the middle of Nowhere, Arizona) and she just picked up her Verizon phone and chatted with her mother about how cool it was. I could not - despite those lovely "full bars" mocking me. I was so freaking jealous!]]>Jan 15th 2010 5:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/atandt-messes-with-plans-in-wake-of-verizons-moves-slashes-unlim/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/atandt-messes-with-plans-in-wake-of-verizons-moves-slashes-unlim/Jan 15th 2010 5:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/atandt-messes-with-plans-in-wake-of-verizons-moves-slashes-unlim/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/atandt-messes-with-plans-in-wake-of-verizons-moves-slashes-unlim/
That's not completely correct. If you're in an area where you can get Tmobile, it's a lot better than AT&T.]]>Jan 15th 2010 6:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/atandt-messes-with-plans-in-wake-of-verizons-moves-slashes-unlim/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/atandt-messes-with-plans-in-wake-of-verizons-moves-slashes-unlim/
Sprint and T-Mo have the low prices because they are dying to get new additions. If they actually had the # of customers of Verizon or AT&T they would charge the same prices. The only reason they have the low prices is to get more customers, after all...it's their only selling points. No great exclusive phones, not a great network...even if you can roam. Hell, Sprint's lost so much money over the past year I'd swear they're getting close to the point of offering free data just to get new customers into contracts...]]>Jan 15th 2010 6:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/atandt-messes-with-plans-in-wake-of-verizons-moves-slashes-unlim/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/atandt-messes-with-plans-in-wake-of-verizons-moves-slashes-unlim/Jan 15th 2010 6:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/atandt-messes-with-plans-in-wake-of-verizons-moves-slashes-unlim/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/atandt-messes-with-plans-in-wake-of-verizons-moves-slashes-unlim/Sounds like the magic number is 3. Maybe Sprint and TMo just need to get it on already.

Noooooo, you can't get reductions on your mobile plans, its like the only thing which us brits get cheaper, you get cheaper consoes, cheaper electronics, cheaper clothes, cheaper food, we get cheaper mobile contract, don't upset that balance... man]]>Jan 15th 2010 7:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/atandt-messes-with-plans-in-wake-of-verizons-moves-slashes-unlim/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/atandt-messes-with-plans-in-wake-of-verizons-moves-slashes-unlim/
If your logic is correct Netro7 then just stay put with the service provider you have. You see I look at it this way...

I've had five lines with Sprint for well over a decade now. So certainly I should know if Sprint service works for me both in the Metro Milwaukee area and in my travels across the U.S. which it does. I'm also quite happy with the three cutting edge phones I have and the two data cards. The data speeds are great! Finally I am impressed most with price which is much lower than the alternatives.

Enough said.]]>Jan 15th 2010 7:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/atandt-messes-with-plans-in-wake-of-verizons-moves-slashes-unlim/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/atandt-messes-with-plans-in-wake-of-verizons-moves-slashes-unlim/
No T-Mo coverage for me 80% of the places I work & hang out. Hardly any T-Mo 3G coverage, even when compared to the Swiss cheese network that is ATTWS 3G. Nobody I know has T-Mo anymore, so in-network benefits for me - everyone I know that used to have T-Mo moved to ATTWS and VZW, even the real estate agents.]]>Jan 15th 2010 7:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/atandt-messes-with-plans-in-wake-of-verizons-moves-slashes-unlim/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/atandt-messes-with-plans-in-wake-of-verizons-moves-slashes-unlim/

Hey, we aren't the ones who made your government adopt socialist economic policies! If a company in Europe wants to cut prices, they probably have to go through a three year government review, to make sure it won't be unfair to the other companies. Personally, I think that's a pretty lousy way of bringing lower prices to the consumer! :P]]>Jan 16th 2010 12:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/atandt-messes-with-plans-in-wake-of-verizons-moves-slashes-unlim/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/atandt-messes-with-plans-in-wake-of-verizons-moves-slashes-unlim/
