As someone who has looked carefully at T-Mobile some things I have picked up: - Their stores suck, they will lie (per Reddit's T-Mobile sub, there are numerous threads about it, they flat out lie). - "Jump!" is a poorly conceived upgrade program that doesn't make financial sense. - Their selection of financed phones is limited compared to the big two (unlocked is $300+, some people want to pay $20-30/month, T-Mobile has a moderate selection). - Coverage varies. Coverage while out-of-town sucks. - I did the 7 day test drive, zero hassle. They shipped it, I used it, then I returned it to the store. Took 5 minutes to return, they didn't even TRY to sell me there and then. - The Test Drive order confirmation sends an invalid tracking link ( http://http// at the start). When I contacted T-Mobile via Twitter they didn't understand the issue with that. - In order to do the termination fee thing you have to trade in (for some reason). - You'll have to endure people saying "un-carrier" unironically. - You'll have to endure their "I'm a hip 20 something" nonsense advert/staff/feel. - They don't offer employer discounts (unless military/government) anymore, so if you get one NOW you might lose money on the switchover (we break even). - Their international roaming is pretty incredible. Free "slow" data, inexpensive calls, and free texts(!). Even their "fast" pay for data is cheaper than AT&T's offering (all on the Simple Choice). - Their music streaming thing is cool, but no Google Music. My biggest problem with T-Mobile is I want to switch but their selection of phones blows right now. Fortunately the Sony Z3 just appeared to save the day(?), but would still like to see the Z3C.
