As a TMobile user, I think I would be ok with this move. All of my friends with Sprint usually have better service than I do.

Just the opposite here. Much better coverage with T Mobile than Sprint.

As a T-Mobile user I usually have more bars here in Southern California than most Sprint, ATT, or Verizon users. T-Mobile has great West-coast, Southwestern coverage in the U.S. I've travelled to Texas in a car and I had great signal the whole way there.

Whatever happened to market competition?
dagamer34Mar 10, 2011
The two smallest carriers are small enough that they can only compete on price but not phones. A third carrier would have enough clout to get something like the iPhone.

It hardly exists in the most profitable areas of business. If it was up to a corporation, they would want a monopoly on a market so they can make the most amount of money without any control. Government keeps business in check from abusing the system; obviously not very well, but that is what they are supposed to do.

Going to be tough to merge given they use different tech (CDMA versus GSM).
But maybe we can get some decent and truly world phones out of the deal.

CDMA was going to die anyway.

Don't forget about Nextel, and Wimax network. For some reason I think having to manage 4 incompatible signals is a bad market decision.

Since they both share GSM tech, an AT&T / T-Mobile merger would make more sense.

Never going to happen due to regulations.

well there goes one more good service down the toilet.as is i just pop in my german sims and use my phone without roaming charges.and yes i get great service,low cost,unlike sprint

I have been extremely happy with my Tmobile service which I have had for more than 10 years. I will be pissed if they merge and I lose my 39.99 a month unlimited everything plan!

Great less competition.

This would be great for consumers. Both companies invest heavily in their networks and offer more bang for the buck. If they become the only big player to own a CDMA and GSM network, they'll undercut the s**t out of AT&T and Verizon to get new customers on both.

Maybe T-Mobile will finally get some decent phones.
gkiltzMar 10, 2011
Makes more sense than did Nextel.
Nextel used a completely different technology.
They also were a company with strong customer service, and well-known weaknesses on the technical side, Sprint was the exact opposite.

There will still be competition. In fact we have more carriers than most other countries.
