How is T-Mobile? (NYC Area)

[neurodave]

I am planning to jump ship from Verizon in the coming days, and it looks like T-Mobile may be my most economic bet. I have also toyed with the idea of getting one of those new Shared plans that AT&T recently introduced for non-contract customers, but their pricing is a bit higher than T-Mobile.

My only concern with T-Mobile is their coverage. I have heard a 50/50 split of good and bad and I'm not sure if they will be reliable enough for me.

Anyone have some personal experiences they can share?

I used to have it and the coverage in NYC was pretty good.

Depends also on how much you plan to travel, and where -- can drop to 2G along interstates away from major urban centres.

But in the city, it's great.

Check coverage maps...T-Mobile's are pretty accurate, but check Sensorly.

The service for New York is amazing. I use roughly 15gb a month and haven't had any issues with the service or customer care personally. I joined as soon as they announced the no contracts. What I like from them compared to Verizon is they unlocked my phones no questions asked soon as I paid them off. The bill is consistent. I haven't really noticed any dead spots. After the merger of metro, I don't know if they started to refarm the acquired spectrum but I've been gradually getting increased service in places I haven't had. Jersey is usually consistent. And Connecticut idk
