interesting information, thank you

I laugh when our internet offers faster speeds, never had the faster speed be faster than the slower speed, told a lot of stories about that, but, never worth the difference in cost 

 

Sounds like I should have told them I wanted an unlocked phone?

apple told me they don’t sell locked phones because, they are not the carrier

att told me they phones are not locked by apple

 

the issue is, as long and people don’t complain, we get scammed

 

nothing changes until we demand better service

 

and, more issues with t-mob than the locked phone, they LIED about local towers, I’d never seen the “sos” on a phone before unless I was really out in the wild but had  happen several times in los angeles with t mob, lied about the “fastest connection ever” “oh, you have the slower plan, do you want to upgrade for $$ more? “

 

a half hour at t-mobile today to return the cell spot 

they say there is a lock on the account… 

wanting to make sure I will never consider them anywhere, any time… 

 

funny, I never had a problem switching a phone between verizon to att

really scammed by the att>cingular fraud though and you are right, the bbb and ftc did nothing to help millions of customers then… people are so willing to be fleeced now 

actually the phones get locked to the first carrier they get added onto..most carriers lock it to their network for a certain amount of days to insure they dont just up and bounce and once said days are met then its unlocked… postpaid accounts its 40 days...prepaid is one year or $100 worth of refills.

Verizon is pretty much the same..i think theirs is 50 days..might have changed..
