Do you think T-mobile will catch up with Verizon? | Thread profile

Traveling to rural areas and other places where T-mobile Or AT&T didn't have coverage, Verizon Did. And lately i've seen like Ads and all on how T-mobile improved coverage and also building more towers. As Much they say that their coverage is improving, Do you think They going to Catch up with verizon?

I seriously doubt that TMO would ever have a chance of being in the same league as Verizon. But then again I also think that TMO likes being right where they are. I don't think TMO wants to be the big three headed monster that Verizon has become. Even if TMO did want to be in the same league as Verizon, at the very slow rate that T-Mobile updates their technology they wouldn't ...

From what I have seen over the past few years.... no.... From what I hear coming... they are trying...

I think T-Mobile's position is good right where it is (except for the lack of HSDPA). Too many towers=bigger electric bill=higher rates. Verizon has a huge coverage area, but how many people even travel to any of those areas 99% of the time? T-Mobile is a great carrier because it offers nationwide service at a great value.

With the exception of a small area in South Carolina, T-Mobile has refused to buyout any smaller carriers that use the 850 band, or they could be trying to add coverage in smaller markets. But T-Mobile overall seems to be focused on major markets, and any coverage they put in rural markets, is just along major highways & interstates. With their refusal to expand in most rural ...

Well our PPU messaging rates are equal to Big Red!! Verizon Wireless provides their customers with one of the richest suite of application services and subsidized handsets available in the industry. Whether it's corporate email on a regular phone, audible turn by turn directions, over 2 million songs available for OTA download, real live TV etc....... This is on top of ...

They probably will not catch up to Verizon on coverage but more likely on charges, fee's and policies. Any time I see one of the big three raise a fee I figure it will be only few months before TMO says "Me Too". The latest example being the outrageous $.20 charge per text message. I am glad I do not use SMS except for receiving Amber alerts.

If it's important for you to have coverage in the rural areas where TMO doesn't have coverage, you should consider switching to a carrier that does have.

If by "catching up" you mean: 1) getting the same lousy signal quality that VZW has, 2) having the same lousy customer service that VZW has, 3) putting 5GB caps on their data services, like VZW does, then, I hope T-Mobile NEVER "catches up" with VZW.
