CNET editors' take
- Reviewed on: 02/20/2007
The second-largest GSM carrier, T-Mobile, grew out of the former VoiceStream Wireless in 2001 when VoiceStream was acquired by Germany's Deutsche Telekom. T-Mobile operates one of the smaller U.S. networks of the big four carriers, but it has roaming agreements with AT&T and other smaller operators. Though different from AT&T's, T-Mobile's phone lineup is still quite varied and includes a number of smart phones.
Things you should know:
- This carrier offers an unlimited calling plan.
- T-Mobile's myFaves feature gives you unlimited calling minutes to any five numbers on any network, even landlines.
- As a GSM carrier and a subsidiary of Germany's Deutsche Telekom, T-Mobile has extensive international roaming and thousands of Wi-Fi hotspots in the United States and Europe.
- Of the major carriers, T-Mobile received the highest customer service rating by J.D. Power and Associates for several consecutive years.
- Offers mostly Samsung, Motorola, and Nokia phones. Does not feature LG handsets but is the exclusive provider of the Sidekick and the T-Mobile Dash smart phone.
- T-Mobile's plans are some of the most competitively priced among the major carriers.
- 3G high-speed data network still in development but it should launch a preliminary network in 2008.
