I've had T-Mobile since October 2001 (back when it was VoiceStream) and have been extremely happy with the service. My cheap $50 (after discounts and rebates) Nokia handset has been indestructable and works flawlessly despite being dropped numerous times, and once being not only dropped on a marble floor but kicked across the same floor by my foot as it hit the floor. The service has been great. I very rarely have a bad connection and only when in Alaska have I been someplace without coverage. There was a small hole in the service in rural southeast Texas on the way up to where my family lives but that has been filled in now. I think 600 anytime minutes, unlimited weekend minutes, free long distance and free roaming are a great deal for just $39.95. And, when I have had need to call T-Mobile's customer service, they've been great. I just wish CO had this offer when I first signed up because I have been so pleased with the service. I'm not saying my experience is typical, although several close friends here in Houston have T-Mobile and have been pleased as well. I certainly haven't had the problems that some people here I know who have Sprint and AT&T have had.
