Thinking of moving to TMobile but the coverage on their website doesn't
look that good as against Cingular etc I'm in Bradenton. Anyone else with
t-mobile?
We have great coverage in the Naples / Ft. Myers area. The T-Mobile on-line
coverage maps are extremely accurate down to the street level.

I second that for my area (West coast). Having recently come from
Verizon there is another noticeable difference. On Verizon if my phone
showed less than half of the bars for reception, it was extremely
unlikely that I could actually make or receive calls. On the T-Mobile
phone if even a single minuscule bar shows, calls work fine!

East coast central FL here, been in areas their map shows as having no
coverage at all, made calls just fine. 1 or 2 bars and the call quality
is the same as when I'm sitting under a tower.

Depends on just what level of service you subscribe to
T-Mobile has roaming partners everywhere, and many
are using 850Mhz, which T-Mobile themselves do not.
Meaning: with roaming, you will find coverage better or
even much better than on T-Mobile equipment alone.
So, just make sure you get free roaming.
T-Mobile is probably the cheapest way to use Cingular's
equipment, by roaming on it. Go figure!
According to the TMo rep I spoke to, the only 850 roaming is in selected
areas of the midwest plus Little Rock, AR. BAsed on that info, the
ATT?Cingular coverage in FL would be of no use to you. Best bet - GO to
a TMo store and have them describe the coverage and roaming for your
area specifically.
