So, I've been wanting to switch mobile providers for a while. I've been with Verizon for over 10 years, but the company has no loyalty to it's customers, obviously. With increased nickle and dime fees (like line activations, removal of unlimited data, etc. etc.) and customer service gone down the window, I feel no loyalty to Verizon anymore. However, their network is, for me and my area, the best.
T-mobile was really attractive to me. I love the idea of getting your own phone and the no-contract thing. I would save about $30 a month or more. So they just announced this whole "Test Drive" thing where they send you an iPhone for free and you can take it on a spin for 7 days to see how service is in the areas where you live and work.
Well, I took it out of the box yesterday at home, turned the phone on, and ... no service, right in my house, where I get 4G with Verizon.
Oh well. Maybe in another few years T-mobile. I wasn't expecting service to be at Verizon levels but I wasn't expecting literally no service in my home right out of the box.
For skiing in particular, the stronger Verizon network is probably even more important when you are on a slope.
Anyone else use T-mobile?
