How about basing a decision on what is best for the OP?? As much as I admire your patriotism towards American companies, the business world has become globalized. T-Mobile has lots of US based employees. All their call centers are in the USA (for T-Mobile US operations). I don't know if that's the case of AT&T.

A buddy of mine was so giddy about purchasing his new (a couple years ago) Chrysler PT Cruiser. He told me he was proud to own an American vehicle. I remember the look on his face when I told him that the vehicle was made in Mexico and the profits flowed to a German company (Daimler/Chrysler). Honda Accords (built in Ohio) and Toyota Camrys (built in Kentucky) are more American made than the PT Cruiser (although the profits now go towards a hedge fund??).

Not everything is so cut and dry in regards to what is "American" anymore.

And most of what is American these days is overpriced crap delivered with an attitude.

We have been using t-mobile for a few years and love it. The place we have the most problems with is north of Seattle, the best there seems to be Sprint

Out of a Job Yet? Keep buying Foreign.
Next steps for xxrice: Please take redneck attitude to the TravelBuzz forum and focus attention on those who might be preparing to spend their 'Merican dollars abroad.

Yeah-like ATT has been really loyal to its US based work force(hint = it has not)
Move this to omni pal.
