I've had T-Mobile for several years and I like them. They're innovative in their billing practices: If you don't want subsidized phones you can save $20/month and they don't interfere with tethering. This merger is bad news.
I'm pretty sure AT&T sees its highly segmented plans and aggressive billing practices as innovative, and considers T-Mobile's approach to be naive and old fashioned.
Only if they subscribe to the P.T. Barnum School of Business Newsletter.
Wait- are you saying you don't?
Agreed. T-mobile is awesome. Their customer service is all right, the last time I had to call them up years ago. If the merger goes through, I'll be jumping ship. Some of AT&T arguments on how much T-mobile suck is absurd.
