TMobile used to be great
T-Mobile used to be great, but I guess because they took over Sprint, they’re trying to be as awful as them.
1) I supposedly have 600mhz towers in my area, yet none of my devices will ever connect to them, despite being compatible. Therefore, unless I'm on WiFi, my "service" is either nonexistent or just so insultingly weak that I may as well not have any bars.
2) “Netflix on us” which is why I’m still paying extra for it, even having 2 voice lines.
3) Finding out that T-Mobile hates customers who need only one voice line. They start penalizing you by charging you so much more that there is no difference in the prices between them and Verizon. Got a tablet? Expect to pay even more than that. I would need a phone, tablet, or watch line, and if I were to get the 30gb LTE hotspot here, it'd cost me $40 more here than it would with Verizon per month. Again, i only want my plan for myself, and TMobile penalizes you by charging you more money for that.
4) The worst of it? T Mobile doesn't give a rat's behind for your feedback. I've made multiple instances of feedback and complaints for several months and the "corporation" refuses to act on any of it. They just suggest my bad coverage is my fault and expects me to drop $1500 on a device for 600mhz Im nowhere near. I've suggested where towers can be put. Nobody in the company cares.
So, after so many years with TMobile, I've concluded that TMobile does not care whatsoever to lose my business and many others simply because I don't have 3948383 voice lines on my plan. If I'm going to pay a company more than Verizon, I expect service to be top notch. Instead, I pay $50 per month for an "un Carrier" who decides "screw you" On me having actual service. ill be switching to Verizon at the end of the month to get actual service and not hearing so much about the reps obsessing about this stupid sprint merger
Maybe one day TMobile will begin to care again, but they shouldn’t call out other companies for the bs that they, themselves, engage in.

T-Mobile Magenta Plus: $85 for one voice line (plus $10 for extra 10gb mhs to make it 30gb), tablet is $20, plus $15 to make it magenta Plus with the 20 gb, plus another $10 to give it the 30 gb mhs, then then the watch for $10. Lets not count your jacked up insurance prices that I pay more for but get nothing out of.
Verizon Get More Unlimited: $90 (includes 30 gb mhs and free perks, unlike the whole "Netflix on Us" garb where I have to have 2 voice lines and still pay for it anyway), tablet would be $10 due to the discount and would include the same features under my line, and $10 for the watch.So T-Immobile is 95+45+10= $150, while Verizon is 90+10+10 = $110, and even with taxes and fees, I still save at least $25 per month in comparison.
So, Ian, if your math is spot on, please explain how I would spend $200 more per year with Verizon when I would pay $25 less per month with them?
So, I'm supposed to stick with T-Immobile, the most advanced network to never give me service indoors or really anywhere else, puts 600 mhz towers in my area in places they know I don't go to, and would penalize me for being a customer who needs a single voice line by charging me more than anyone else. As much as your company rips Verizon over price gouging, this company has a lot of nerve.
T-Mobile used to care and show potential. Now, all they care about is this idiotic Sprint merger. If you all want to be as bad as Sprint, go for it. I'll switch to a real carrier where I can get better service for less, and not pay more for holier than Swiss cheese coverage to be offered free perks I still have to pay extra for.
I know how to read and add. Treating me like I'm an idiot is something you shouldn't do.

I used to be happy with T mobile, then they bought Sprint and now I am looking to find a new carrier. Sprint had horrible customer service, and my calls are dropped constantly. Now it is happening with T mobile. The constant phone calls and text when you are a day late with your bill..during a pandemic.
I am so unhappy right now. I left Sprint because they sucked, now I am stuck with them again. T Mobile please don't turn into the carrier I left. I would hate to have to leave you too.

miket, can you please explain to me the remote relevance of your comment? "T Mobile did all this years ago". Well, I've been wondering what they could do for me now for months, and the answer is still the same. Charge me more than everyone else for crappy service that I can't even use indoors unless I'm on WiFi or have a signal booster, which is one of the main reasons I left Sprint. Continue to penalize me for not needing 2 voice lines by charging me way more than everyone else. Lie to me about Netflix on Us because Ím still having to pay for it, even with two voice lines. Continue to ignore my claims about what´s wrong and lie that Ím on the best possible value, which is total garbage. Verizon will give me way more for less, and give me perks. I only need one voice line. And at least they're up front. "Free Disney Plus for one year." Unlike this company that says "Netflix on Us" only to still make you pay extra for it. If T-Mobile cared half as much about their customers as they did this stinking Sprint merger, I would stay, but I get It. They bought Sprint because they want to be as awful as Sprint.

It's just funny how they claim to be better than Verizon, but it's like their Netflix on Us line. Not really.
I bought 600mhz devices, only to find out that they put the towers in areas I don't go to (most likely on purpose like Sprint did), so I can't use the coverage type I pay for. I've had Netflix on us, but like a good little corporate company, the increase got passed to me. If I want it free, like I have to do with my plan to save money, I have to water it down to the barest minimum that makes it practically pointless. I live in TN, in a somewhat mountainous region, and while coverage is tricky, if they densified the area with the 600mhz coverage that I still pay to have but don't get, it'd solve the problem. Considering there's every excuse against doing so, T Immobile has made it clear that they refuse to provide better service.
Being penalized for having one line by paying more for "service" here than anyone else is just the last straw. If I'm going to be paying high phone bills, I expect top-of-the-line coverage, not top-of-the-line lies and excuses. Going indoors or traveling some feet should not cause me to lose service, but only on t immobile, those are factors.
They constantly suggest I upgrade to a 5G device. Why? I don't get 600mhz with the devices I have now, even though they're compatible and I pay for the service. How I would I get their crappy 5G service if I can't get the 600mhz now? If they want me to upgrade so bad, they can pay for my phone, but I have to be a new customer or buy enough phone lines for that to happen, which is absolutely dumb and insulting.Verizon seems to care for my business and would reward me for doing business with them, by giving me good service, better prices, and perks, even for one voice line. I won't have to hear their constant blubbering about how they got Sprint it complain about coverage.

I must agree on the coverage issue. I get almost no coverage in my building. I hoped that upgrading to a 5G phone would help but it did nothing. I have called customer "service" and informed them that we have an in-building repeater recently installed at the costs of several thousands of $ but only Verizon has agreed to connect to it… And yes Verizon works great now. AT&T is discussing the connection with our network team. But crickets from TM.
I may be forced to move from TM to Verizon. They have no interest in providing coverage to the 100+ users in our building.

I've been w.TM since before they were TM. They were first w. wifi calling. First w. free intl. roaming years ago. (Don't think ATT or Vz. has that yet.) First w.o. locked in contracts.
True their rates now aren't the bargain they used to was. Those of us who are on old plans really have bargains. We have 8 lines that total under $200/mo. 6 of the lines don't cost more than $10 because they get $10 kickback for not using more than 2G of data. That plan went 2 or 3 years ago.

If TM (or ATT or Vz) were the best for everyone they would have close to 100% of the business.
I agree that in recent times the price diff. has narrowed quite a bit, especially if you only have 1 or 2 lines.
We have had Netflix since it was offered. We only make moderate use of it. We wouldn't make any use of the new Disney+ channel. There is now an over abundance of streaming TV to watch w. Prime et al.
For us the free intl. roaming has been worth $$ over the years. Since we are only (95%+) in major U.S. areas rarely have coverage problems.
For you sounds like TM doesn't cover your area well enuf for you. Where are you located? I'm surprised wifi isn't working for you. I thought the Netflix promo was still offered.

I'm sorry, I was comparing our value offerings. If you have those two packages side by side, then Verizon's package is definitely cheaper before taxes and additional fees, which are included in T-Mobile's plan. I'm not sure how that would change the price, but even without I still think you get more value from T-Mobile. Verizon will cap videos to 720p on the phone plan, T-Mobile allows the full 1080p. And Verizon's tablet plan is only 2 GB, while T-Mobile's is unlimited. Depending on how much data you use on your tablet, it could cost you up to $710 per month for 100 GB. But if you're only using 2 GB or less a month, I'd definitely go with Verizon.
I'm sorry if you felt I treated you poorly, that's not my intent. I'm just trying to provide full and accurate information based on what you're looking for. While we try to provide the best options for everyone, we understand that T-Mobile may not be the best solution for you. That's why we haven't had Early Termination Fees on our plans in a while; we feel you should be able to choose the provider that's right for you.
