Thanks!
I just joined T-Mobile Dec. 2013. They pulled TU (here in NYC). At the time, my scores were somewhere in the low to mid-600's, in bad shape.
But I did have cell phones in my own name for about 6 or 7 years already.
Thats interesting, i was contemplating switching from Att to tmboile but dreading HP lol. I still need to crunch some numbers to see if its worth it and if service is actually decent where i live. I heard tmobile can be pretty sketchy service wise.
T-Mobile will now let you borrow a phone for a week to try out there service, no strings attached. I don't know the details, you can find out more on their site, but if you're thinking about it, it can't hurt to try!
From what i understand about the program you have to put down 650 or so for the cost of an iphone, That really isn't an problem for me probably more of an hassle. I will have to go down to the mall to check it out , there aren't anymore other tmobile store around anymore other than the mall lol.
From T-Moble website:
T-Mobile Test Drive is free with no obligation to buy, but if the iPhone 5s comes back with a cracked screen, damaged screen display, water damage, active Find My iPhone feature, or can't be powered on we have to charge a $100 damage fee. If you don't return the device, we have to charge $699.99 plus applicable taxes.
A hold for $699.99 + taxes will be placed on your credit or debit card. The timing of releasing that hold will vary by credit card company. We won't charge your card unless you fail to return the device.
Got it? Good. Now go give our network a workout.
The iPhone 5s test device must be ordered online. It will be delivered by mail.
You must sign for it and be at least 18 years old to sign.
T-Mobile Test Drive is free for 7 days and starts when the device is signed for.
After 7 days you must return it in good condition to a T-Mobile retail store (not an authorized retailer) so it's important you know where your nearest retail store is.
but why does it have to be an iphone 5s :-( they should let us choose our phone, i would want to test drive lg g3 lol.

the funny thing is they were the last of the big four carriers to actually get the iphone lol
Yeah...here in NYC, I am super happy with T-Mobile. But whenever I leave, I start to get really spotty service.
90% of the time, I am here in the city, so it's okay.
But those times I leave, when I really need the service (driving, no wifi), it's super annoying and now has me looking at maybe giving AT&T a try.

in the city i think tmobile may actually be better because the coverage is pretty good for which ever carrier you get. I think most people in nyc are on att or verizon so their network gets bogged down an lot and slows down .Thats my personal feeling at least. I was looking at an really nice tmobile plan, but its prepaid so that may wipe out the credit check, but then i don't have subsidized phone.
The plan i was looking at was something like 100 minutes , unlimted text and 5 gb of data. Thats enough for me but if their service isn't optimal then its an moot point lol.

I am in Miami and the service is pretty decent but I heard AT&T sometimes is horrible. I detest Sprint because of their billing system and how they like to sneak things on your bill and when you inquire they delete it. Hmmm, so how is the AT&T service. I do feel like sometimes when I am traveling and even some areas in Miami it gets spotty. I used to travel a lot. Decisions, decision, is one easier to get over the other?
well when it comes to miami i am not sure since last time i was in florida there weren't any such things as cell phones lol. I can speak for northeast only, i have no issues with service in most of manhatten. I can even get service in the lower floors of grand central , but i think its because they have cell towers down there. Att for the most part has good service I feel. VZW may be an little bit better but they are more expensive, and have propreity phones that for the most part can't be used on any other carrier in the world.
