| - Hard to be truly pleased with any cell service so allow me to speak honestly. I have had no complaints with my T-Mobile service, or the service at this store. I have been using T-Mobile Pre-Paid since 2006. I prefer T-Mobile since as a pre-paid customer you can purchase any phone, pay full price, and only pay for the minutes you use, no wasted air time every month. And if they piss me off I can leave anytime.
Now if only we could do without the up-sell in the stores, trying to get me into some sort of contract.
Comparing the pre-paid services, I found T-Mobile to be the best deal.
Remember: the decision for which cellular carrier you should pick should always be based first on which one offers the best signal in the places you are most likely to use the service. Remember too, cellular is two-way radio. The coverage with all carriers will always be spotty in some places due to terrain, interference, or signal obstructions.
I used to have Net10 prepaid, but they send text advertisements to your phone and will not stop, so I dropped them. Otherwise they are the cheapest prepaid but their minutes expire rapidly. T-mobile minutes last for a year after you reach the $100 minutes purchased mark.
And for the record, their advert for "world's largest 4G network" is misleading. Their 4G network comes no where close to the technical specs of a 4G network, it's closer to a 3G network. The term "4G" means something specific, not just 4th Generation. T-Mobile's so-called "4G" is NOT a 4G network any more than my 8mm video tapes are VHS. To advance to a true 4G network would require new phones and cell site hardware, they did not deploy either. This is nothing more than a marketing gimmick.
Update: a friend of mine with the T-Mobile 4G hotspot device gets an average of .800Mbps down and .2Mbps upload, even at 3am! This is about twice the speed of 3G. Like i said, it's not real 4G
