What's your story with this post? You didn't bother posting it in the
generic cellular group (alt.cellular) or either T-Mobile group (the current
alt.cellular.t-mobile or the mostly abandoned alt.gsm.carriers.voicestream)-
only the Verizon group where it is likely to be construed as trolling.

Then the "30 millionth customer" doesn't really have many experiences to
share with us if he or she has only been with T-Mo for 24 HOURS, agreed?

Yep, congratulations! Dead last, by several years, in a field of four
nationwide carriers to launch 3G, and on a non-standard frequency supported
by exactly ONE handset they sell! A proud day indeed. Next year I hear
they're launching touch-tone dialing!

Kidding, and sarcasm, aside, as a six-plus year T-Mo customer, I find T-
Mo's customer service to be excellent, indeed. It has to be, though, since
all other aspects of the service (except price) are weaker than the
competition- coverage, phone selection and lack of a nationwide high-speed
data network.

The price and the CS are all that keeps me around, and unless they offer
some decent high-end PDA phones with their odd-ball 3G service PRONTO, I'll
be testing the lousy-rated CS over at Sprint on a SERO plan by year's-end.
