Sounds like a mixed bag coverage comparison-wise though. When do you get to Turkey? Can you provide an update on how well it works there? For anybody else with T-Mobile now, any coverage/quality opinions specific to the DC Metro area? |

T-Mobile in the DC/Balt area
I've found T-mobile service and data speeds to be better than Verizon in the DC-Balt region. I have both services now on two different phones and T-mobile gets reception where Verizon does not and speed tests are faster on the upload. I think the better service could be due to Band12, which does a better job of penetrating buildings. The key to getting service on T-Mobile outside of metro areas is to make sure you have a phone that gets band 5, which uses AT&T signal to roam where there is no T-Mobile service. Found this to be true in West Virginia.

I know this promo is probably over but we just switched the whole family from AT&T to T-Mobile and have a really great representative over there. If you can send me the promo code I have a feeling we might be able to get it to apply. This would be huge!

I also switch from AT&T (with them since Cingular and unlimited since iPhone 3G) and also taking advantage $100 for three limited lines early March. With the 20% off and kickbacks from the 2 lines, I am paying $60 a month for THREE unlimited. I am very happy with the coverage so far after a month of use. I am in SoCal (LA metro) and I drove all over different places and didn't notice much different compare to my AT&T. I am on my iPhone7+ so that might make a difference

Already a T-Mobile customer, mostly for their awesome roaming plans.
I don't have service issues in the MIA/FLL/PBI area, but some other cities might. It is probably dependent on your area. I travel to Canada and Mexico alot, where I get LTE coverage! I was also in the UK, Norway, Belize, Grand Cayman, Haiti and I have 2G coverage which was good to check emails and do the odd thing. I used to pay a ton in roaming, now it's been $0 in the past 1.5 yrs with TM.

Regarding "that's why it is cheaper" AT&T and Verizon have better coverage because these guys have low band frequencies which allows better penetration therefore longer range in receiption whereas T-Mobile & Sprint have high band frequencies. Two towers by T-Mobile would need to be deployed in order to cover same area AT&T and verizon has in 1 tower. Read more (research) about it and you will understand |

And just like AT&T and VZW's Unlimited plans, T-Mobile's isn't truly unlimited "HD 4G LTE" either (Gotta read that fine print): Quote:

Dude...I don't want to turn this thread about which one is better neither I do want to waste more of my time on these discussions. Get what you want and be happy with it. I had few codes to share for anyone who wanted to switch and the deal is over so let it be ... lets just let this thread die... |
