Re: T Mobile and Other Cell Phone Carriers

In PA Verizon pulled EQ.  T-Mobile pulled TU when I purchased a phone on their no-interest payment plan.  

 

No idea what T-Mobile pulled when I signed up since it was more than 8 years ago.

Re: T Mobile and Other Cell Phone Carriers

When I had tmobile they pulled tu.

 

Overall tmobile worked great in the cities that I traveled to. The only issues for me came about when I got out in the sticks but tmobile pricing is pretty good and the network continues to grow. If they get some low band spectrum Ill definitely go back. There are a few rural spots Im frequently at where they dont cover as of yet. Other than that tmobile service worked well for me.

Re: T Mobile and Other Cell Phone Carriers

According to the credit pulls database of the site of which we may not speak, T-Mobile predominantly pulls TU; Verizon predominantly pulls EX; Sprint predominantly pulls EQ; AT&T predominantly pulls both EQ and EX.  This is not to say that they DON'T pull from others, just that they have their favourites.  Also,this is from data reported by that site's members/users and is not meant to be exclusively factual.

 

One could also consider providers such as Cricket, Virgin Mobile, Metro PCS, etc, which are more pay-as-you-go providers.

Tmobile has some really good pre paid options as well , especially if you aren't an big talker on the phone. The one i was eyeing was 100 min unlimited texts and 5 gb data plan . Last time i checked it was 30 an month for that

Re: T Mobile and Other Cell Phone Carriers

So, I was approved my TMobile with no money down ( I just had to pay the taxes on the phone). The salesperson in the says the have different levels of approval and depending on the level of approval it can be no money down to various amounts of money down and pay for the phone in its entirety so I was pleasantly surprised. I am waiting to see which one they pulled. When I get the alert, I will know.  Overall, it was a good experience because I was able to get my son the New Galaxy 5 (why does he have a better phone than me) and their plans are great. Yeah, me!

Starting Scores (5/2014): EQ 569, TU 601, EX 589
Current Scores (07/08/2015): EQ 640, TU 640, EX 654
Goal (12/2015): 700 across the board

Re: T Mobile and Other Cell Phone Carriers

I got the 3G single plan for my son for $60. Unlimited everything and 3G of 4G initial data and then unlimited data at other stream rate.  The other phones are $50 a month but the new Samsung and IPHONE comes with the $60 plan. Yet, if I had 4 people I could get it for the $100. It costs more for a single plan. I am on my business plan and am thinking of moving to ther personal plan to finance the phone. For the both of us it will be $100 but once again for four it would be $100 also. The plans are pretty much similar to their pre-paid plans I think, it probably just gives you more 4G data. So, the only plus, is the financing of the phone and the way it is paid. Right now, T-Mobile offers the best price for plans.
