I have now spent over 7 hours over 2 days trying to upgrade my phone with Verizon. I would like to go elsewhere. Is T Mobile good? I have read their

coverage is not that great in the west, which is where I am. Any opinions?

Responses:

T-Mobile was terrible for me, but that's because their coverage here is absolute crap. Your mileage may vary. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Oct 22, 17:08 2
- When did you last try? I've heard that TMobile is way better now. Note that I can never have TMobile here because we still have analog towers some - Pocket Jones Oct 22, 17:15 1
  - It's been a few years, but I have no reason to chance it and go back. - Cuzzin Todd Oct 22, 17:19
Wellllllll... we spent a LOT of time with T-Mobile trying to do the same. - Dark Callisto Oct 22, 16:42 15
- I had heard really good things about their service so I guess it's not true. Verizon placed an order for an upgrade today, without my consent. We were - jnine Oct 22, 16:48 14
  - Maybe move to ab MVNO that resells Verizon? Buy a phone outright and activate on the MVNO? -- nm - Pocket Jones Oct 22, 17:12 5
    - Have you done that? Was the service the same? Are there any downsides? -- nm - jnine Oct 22, 17:23 4
      - My friend used ... Cricket for years with no service issues ever. It was dirt cheap. - Pocket Jones Oct 22, 17:27 3
        
        Ok. Thanks. Didn't your phone cost a lot more without the upgrade? -- nm* - jnine Oct 22, 17:31 2
        
        I thought that most carriers now didn't offer discounts on phones, just payment plans for them. is this not true? - amanda jeans Oct 22, 17:57 1
        
        Payment plans, but $300-650 off the regular price and then they force a payment plan so you don't leave for another provider. -- nm - jnine Oct 22, 18:06
  - OH, was gonn ask you about the Foos induction! -- nm - loosilu Oct 22, 16:56 1
    - I'm going! That's why I need a new phone ASAP. -- nm* - jnine Oct 22, 17:06
  - I have T-Mobile and am very happy with it. I've had little issue with coverage, but there are spots. Since they merged with Sprint, I expect it will - pmb Oct 22, 16:52 5
    - How is the 5G coverage? Do you notice a difference? -- nm* - jnine Oct 22, 17:05 4
      - My current phone is kind of old and not 5G so I can't answer that. Sorry. -- nm - pmb Oct 22, 17:14 3
        
        Thanks. Mine is really old and isn't going to support some of my apps anymore. It's also cracked and crashing. I guess that means it's time. -- nm - jnine Oct 22, 17:20 2
        
        Can you just to like best buy and buy am unlocked phones? That's basically what I do. If you are upgrading to 5G call Verizon and ask them to send yoj - Pocket Jones Oct 22, 17:23 1
        
        You can't just go to Verizon stores in LA County right now without an appointment set up for a specific service and there's a pretty long wait time - jnine Oct 22, 17:35
