What's T-Mobile like?

[thomas]

I'm thinking about going for this plan:

Anyone got any thoughts? T-mobile okay?

I never had any issues with them when I was on their network. very good coverage. you could probably get a better tariff though if you shopped around but if you want that one, and will only use what you get for the 10.00 a month you will be ok

I don't really want to pay more than £10 a month. My mate did tell me about their £15/month one which I would of been willing to pay, but I still get 10 texts a day and 2.5 hours of phone chat for a tenner, which should be enough - if it's not I can always upgrade.

I can't really see any other options which are £10 but offer more...or more of both (some have less texts, more minutes, vice versa).

Think I'm going to risk it...it's only a 30 day contract

I've been using Virgin mobile (AFAIK they piggyback T-mob network) for around 3 years without any bother and switched to T-mobile a couple of weeks ago, getting a shiny G1. Seem ok so far.

cool...stupid site won't accept my whole name in their direct debit form! Have to phone them up to do it.

I switched to Virgin recently.
£8.50 a month all in. New phone, 100 texts 100 mins.....which is more than I need.

might be worth having a look at family mobile, it by IKEA and very reasonable, to be honest with your level of use it would be cheaper on pay as you go

and look at asda too, they use the vodafone network and very cheap

I'm with O2, I top up £10 a month and get 300 free texts and they have hook a duck (win more texts etc) and you get free top up credit every few months or so.

Dam good service, I have had no trouble with them.

I am also with the Virgin £8-50 deal 100 mins 100 texts and because we have Virgin telly and broadband.another 100 mins to another virgin phone users.

Better than our preve Orange sim only £15 and a good phone (but not good enough for my eldest).

We all changed to Virgin and got different phones.

How long is your name???

I've got a G1 on T mobile. £30 pm for unlimited data and more free calls and texts than I'll ever need. Coverage is the same as any other phone I've had. Not had to use they're cust service but the staff in the stores seem helpful.

 

[fossyant]

Had T-Mobile for quite some time, good with data, but I moved to Voda recently because they had the G2 - or HTC Magic... on exclusive............I wanted that..........

T-Mobile is good for coverage.

I find the coverage on tmobile not as good as on orange and vodaphone which I had before, but it's worth it for the deal I got. It only gives up in certain parts of yorkshire and at my hairdressers - I can live with that!

20 characters, without spaces .... going to have to phone them tonight. They emailed me with a free phone number too because I didn't finish my order.

Shame there isn't a t-mobile shop in Leatherhead or i'd just do it there. I might try claiming I found some PAYG schemes that would work out cheaper and see if I can get a discount on the phone

My Mrs has been on T-Mobile for years - I binned them and went to Virgin for private and O2 for business.

T Mobile coverage is no where near as good. Like all telecoms companies except Virgin, everything is fine so long as no one has to do anything, but as soon as there's a problem, they are as shite as the rest.

Virgin however, really are good. Proper human answers within 5 rings, calls you "Sir" rather than "mate", and they seem to get things done efficiently.

Cant speak for pay as you go, but my contract is decent and my reception aint bad, and custmer service been helpful.

BUT I HAVE TO PAY TO RECEIVE VOICEMAIL!!!

this is the first phone since the 90's I have had to do that (tmobile by the way)
