Guys, I have been an apple fan for almost 6 years now...From Macbook pro to iPhone, apple tv, iPod, iPad and iMac, I have it all. The problem is with my iPhone. I have using iPhone for 4 years all the way from 3G to and now iPhone 4 for almost 1 year now and I have been using it with TMobile thinking it will one day use the 3G service by either TMobile upgrading their services or AT&T acquiring them. It doesn't seem like any of the 2 will ever happen. I am sorry to say, I will not be going to AT&T as I already hate them.

I am paying 3G unlimited internet from TMobile for 3 years and have never used a bit of it since it was only edge starting from iPhone 3G.

Today, one of my friend came home to show me his windows 7.5 and I hate to admit that i felt like a year behind in speed due to the fact I cannot use any of his feature on iPhone.

Lastly, I will miss coming here to this site and this forum as there are number of helpful people who taught me a lot of things ( special thanks to Apple juice)

I will be back once I will see iPhone coming to TMobile or any merger, in short, I had to take it out as it was really hard to go to windows as I used to be the only person always supporting Mac.

Thanks

SR


So lemme get this straight, you hate AT&T, you love T-Mobile and want to use 3G speeds with you iPhone (incapable on T-mobile now), so your hopes were for AT&T to swallow up T-Mobile in order to get 3G? So the only way you move to AT&T is if they merge with T-mobile? Yet you won't go directly to AT&T because you "already hate them". That's some of the most convoluted thinking I seen in a long time.
 
lol why on earth are you using Tmobile?

when anyone tells me they are on tmobile, I feel that they are beneath me.

sorry just sayin.

Because AT&T isnt very good in my area. Drops calls alot and costs more.Those who pay more just to say they are on AT&T imo just dont make any sense. LOL, really? T-Mobile is beneath you?
I suppose you buy your jeans at Saks 5th avenue or Dillards instead of Kohls or Walmart even though they are the same but cost much more. Now theres a sound decision.

Hey i dont care how you spend your money Less crowding on our network...but you do know that T-Mobile has a better 3G and HSPA+ than AT&T ...right? AT&T had to step up their network after they filed for a merger because it wasnt as good and it didnt look good for them and their reason why they said T-Mobile was a company going downhill which in fact, wasnt true at all and one of the many reasons the merger isnt going to go thru.

It's a big difference in amounts, no doubt. T-Mobile does have a lot of perks, but I prefer having a signal everywhere I go over having a huge amount of cheap minutes that I will never use.

That being said, nothing wrong with using T-Mobile if it suits your needs.

Agree. T-Mobile has horrible coverage.

GF switched from T-Mobile to AT&T this year.
 
Also, for the people that are bashing me saying no one would miss me...I dont care if you do or not...

For someone who already said goodbye, you seem to still be very active posting on this and other sub-forums

My thread was just to release the frustration of going back to windows as I used to have fight with my friends about Mac vs PC and now I am going back to it.

Frivolous arguments.
 
bye

I wish you had read my whole thread. I have been using iPhone ever since 3G came out with TMobile. The only way to do that was to jailbreak and unlock. I still have the lowest 1.59.01 baseband unlocked with ultrasnow. The problem is I cannot enjoy any of my other gadget due to this stupid TMobile thing.

Facetime doesnt work or I have to tweak but its not that supportive
Cant sync preodically caz I might update the basband in accident
Cant upgrade to iOS 5 caz tethered JB or unlock is not out
Cant use 3G

there are many more.

In addition, I will never go to AT&T/Verizon/Sprint. I had them all in the past and TMobile is much better in all account.

Wow, what a PITA just to use a phone. So you have used all 3 major carriers in the past, not sure if I believe that but I will take you at your word. If you really think t-mo is better on all accounts :rolleyes: then by all means stay with them. ATT will not be approved to buy t-mo so it looks like you will be on their crap network for a long time.

t-mo blows

:apple:

edit: Like some others have already said, don't let the door hit you in the ace!
 
To me all the carriers suck. One place carrier A is good another place carrier B is good & back & forth. Its weird that in the urban area I live att sucks, but I go out to the boonies where my wife's aunt & uncle & I get the best reception you could ask for. Eh, whatever.
 
Thank you Baby Jesus!

I was shocked to open this thread and find the OP already on my ignore list!

:D:D:D
 
I don't understand why TMobile is the only carrier you're willing to use, but that's your decision.

Heve you seen the T-Moble girl? https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/1280041/

So, I don't get it.. you're ditching all your Mac stuff because you're in love with T-Mobile? or maybe you just hate ATT? whichever. You do realize that the iPhone is now on Sprint AND Verizon, right? Whatever you're doing you're only doing it to yourself.

LOTS of people want the T-Mobile iPhone to happen. So please, stop bi**hing about how I and/or OTHER people spend their money. People choose T-Mobile because of their low prices, and great CS.

AT&T is even worse than t-mobile. Get your brain straight! :p

I know what he is talking about. If AT&T bought T-Mobile then he'd be able to bring his sweet T-Mobile pricing to AT&T.

I switched to AT&T recently because I was tired of waiting for the iPhone to come to T-Mobile. If they get the iPhone I'll be switching back to them no matter what ETF's I have to pay AT&T.
 
This thread is even more bizarre for me - I'm sat here with my 4s on t-mobile and getting pretty decent 3g speeds. You americans need to sort out your phone networks ;)

"pretty decent" speeds don't mean nothing, what are your actual numbers?
(what download speeds do you yourself consider "pretty decent")?

Cool... not something that I would expect on a forum as (and I hate to be mean) no one really cares. Hopefully you will find the iPhone useful once it is on T-Mobile (again, I really do not care). There is one thing I do care about though and that is your signature... SR is owned by me so get off! (lol, I'm kidding).
