AT&T To Buy T-Mobile

If AT&T isn't allowed to buy T-Mobile due to anti-trust, Verizon no how now way will be able to buy Sprint.

 

I couldn't imagine why Verizon would want anything to do with the technological disaster known as "Sprint/NexTel."

 

So much for increasing competition. Hopefully sprint will hold out so it doesn't come down to 2 big carriers. With competition, the consumer wins. We already see how verizon likes to follow at&t with teired data. I feel sorry T-mo customers.

 

Ugh! I started with T-Mobile. Both phone coverage and customer service has been good, so I've never changed. I did upgrade once, but that was years ago so I'm no longer under contract.

I hope AT&T doesn't screw with it. My husband had Nextel through his employer and since Sprint took over, I can no longer count on being able to contact him on his cell. And when I can, the call quality stinks.

I'm bummed.

 

Hopefully ,coverage areas will be improved,they have compatable technology and will if approved(at least a year before they complete the merger) have access to each others cell towers.My son has t-mobile and calls us from all over the 48.The glass is half full,look for the positive!

 

Sprint satisfied customer 12 years now here,just curious? if Sprint/Nextel is such a "Tech Disaster" why in the world would Verizon want to buy it

I have had good reliable service and no hassles,anytime i have called customer service issue was taken care of on the spot

Seems funny,all those We are Verizon and "we are better service than Tmobile" ETC..,,,,Never once did they even try to compare to SPrint

 

AT&T says current T-Mobile 3G phones will need to be replaced:

"Ma Bell" is gaining weight....Anyone remember deregulation and the break-up of "Ma Bell"?

The more things change...The more they stay the same.....

 

I used to sell Sprint/Nextel... so I know the inside view of the place. And yeah... their customer service is as bad as AT&T.

 

Ah you took the words right out of my mouth--when the old Bell system was broken up in the 70's everyone said this would happen again some day--and I have been searching youtube--etc for the clip--there was a great MaBell commercial--done on Saturday Nite Live--back in the begining--and at the end Dan Akroyd comes on as spokesman and says with a wink "At&T we'll be a monoploy again soon!" and smiles!
