I opened an account with T-Mobile in January. While I've had a few technical issues, most if not all of them have been caused by the local partner (Dobson). T-Mobile has been very helpful every time, even when it's not their fault. I'm roaming in ANC, and they're aware of that and don't mind at all. I pay $55/mo. for myFaves, 300 anytime minutes and free n/w, and it works perfectly for me. I also have free roaming anywhere in the US. It's been a great experience for me.
