I have not been with them as long as you have but I'm not sold on this deal yet. T-Mobile has not answered any of the hard questions and so far has been playing on people's national concerns with China. I mean I do agree a combined company can provide better coverage and speeds. However, who will keep them in check as far as priceing, who will make them keep investment up in the network and not just do some form of psuedo 5g like AT&T is trying to market. At the end of the day they are a company and unless I see a contract that gurantees some of the statements being made I will not be fully sold.

I’m with Verizon and switched from T-mobile almost two years ago. Mainly because I use a lot of data and I wasn’t too happy with the speeds. But I T-mobile wasn’t horrible though sprint omg it was bad really bad. I had them a couple of years before t-mobile. I love the Verizon network! I’m often the only one with service if I travel with family and friend. But even with all my love for vz I might check out T-mobile again in couple years from now. I love the T-mobile CEO John! I believe he’s going to really shake things up.
In my town they just tore down an old taco johns in order to be a new Sprint store directly across from a t mobile store.

The problem i see with the new technology is it doesn't help if you do not have enough towers for your customers. Ill give example i am with t mobile and by my job i get 40-70mb a sec. There is mostly companies there and not much residential housing. When i get home i get 5-15mb a sec with the tower being 1 mile away. All residential area very few businesses. When speed drops to less then a1 mb i call customer support to complain and the tower is always congested. So until you can fix this issue then to me new technology doesn't help anything.

I have T-Mobile from 2013 as I moved from UK. Before my wife used to come & go from USA with out any network thanks to American carriers old tech & monopoly. Then John came & changed the whole Mobil networks. The reason was John, he the only Carrier with a energetic CEO. I had prepaid in UK from 1998 & it started in USA after 2010 because of T Mobil prepaid.

Let's just say it, it's all about frequency spectrum. The military took 900mhz and 800 mhz from Nextel. Sprint needed TMobile's 700mhz spectrum to push 5g or ?? John even said it in the piece.

Charles Sherry So it's really about the cellular "radios" in your phone that recieves the signal. Currently no phones have 5g radios, so you will have to upgrade your device when they make phones available with the correct "radio" to receive a 5G signal. LTE Phones as I understand won't be able to receive 5G signals only LTE.

Except Sprint has the faster wider network band... T-Mobile kept their smaller network and just wanted to spread their network and not focus on speeds and reliability. Sprint focused on speeds and reliability and not range. So you put both of those networks together, you literally have the best network you possibly can have.

So if millimeter wave technology is not expansive how do you explain reconfiguring a dead Cdma technology that Sprint utilizes to convert an entirely different GSM network of Tmobile? Also there's different options than providing 5g through millimeter wave. There's fiber technology. Something that At&t has an abundant source of, and something that TMobile and Sprint have absolutely do not have.

I was a Sprint customer since 2003 and now with MetroPCS. The reason I left Sprint is because it seems they care more about getting new customers rather than taking care of their long term customers. My only fear with this merger is prices are going to skyrocket and only new customers are going to benefit.

What I've seen with AT&T is yes the price is slightly higher than T-Mobile (not by much), and by far better service all over, higher reception, faster data speeds all over all the time. I don't get that with T-Mobile, I never got that with Sprint. Note that they wont talk about lower prices, because the prices WILL GO UP, but likely be less than AT&T and Verizon as they are currently - inflation and innovation will drive prices up anyway, its natural. I pay about $250 more per month TODAY than I did 10 years ago.
So now we start to pay for the 5G by adding a line to your bill every time you want to get a deal on a phone in sprint and Tmobile

Maybe I the future, T-Mobile will merge with Verizon, and AT&T, all cellular data providers. And come up with a name like USDATA or something.
Basically the new google fi. Lol
If sprint really does go away after the merger? The new T-Mobile should atleast still keep the sprint logo as a turbocharger. Also since boost also have that logo as well... That let people know that sprint is migrated as part of the new T-Mobile. It's just be fair. Also be cooler like nobody has ever done that with their company's logo except for sprint towards boost logo...

New and best interests for you
As a previous Sprint Customer i can assure these merger will screw up T-Mobile customers. When i was a sprint customer i had nothing but lies from their employees and most were extremely rude and in one occasion i was told to leave the store and had to call the police on them, as for service their data is horrible i went back to sprint asking for help multiples times and they always gave the same excuse (we are updating our towers) and i told them this is been happening for two years and still no good service ??? That was the reason why i got kick out of one of their stores because new potential customer were walking out the door when they heard about these issues. Their phone reception if you work near a military base is also non existence. that is the reason why i drop SPRINT and move to T-Mobile but if these merger becomes a reality i am dumping T-mobile And i highly suggested you do the same if you are a T-Mobile customer. Why do you thing their commercial on you tube comment are blocked They know thousands of sprint customer will post negative comments because of their poor service and rude employees.
I hope sprint and tmobile stick what they are saying
Sprint doesn’t even let you use the internet while you’re on the phone🙄😒
