This will never happen since they tried a few years back, and if this happen then it's going to be a sad day and I will have to move on to someone else after more then 10 years

Crap I wanted to switch over to T-Mobile from Sprint. I hope this isn't true because Sprint has an awful history with mergers.

**walgarin** · 03-08-2011, 03:07 PM

sorry but Sprint flat out sucks

If this does happen I'll be damned. I'm not going to be apart of this merger. The only way I could even slightly be on board is if T-Mobile bought Sprint and even then.. I'm not up for the crap that comes with merging together two totally different companies.

What carrier would you all switch to if Sprint bought T-Mobile? I'd probably have to go with Verizon and a LTE phone.

If this happened (for REALZ, not just rumor), then I would be leaving ASAP and going to Verizon, that's for sure. I have no desire to be apart of Sprint.

Probably even though I despise them, AT&T. I'm looking to switch to T-Mobile for a wider selection of World capable blackberries for better international options and pricing. If they get bought by Sprint then AT&T is next logical choice.

I feel the same way, given the choice of AT&T, Verizon and Sprint, AT&T "wins" as the "least hated option".

DT is fairly profitable except for T-Mobile USA. The company has been loosing everything that made it the #4 US telcom. Customer service is taking a back seat to getting customers to pay more and not have problems fixed. They are getting rid of flex pay to increase revenues while they are loosing more and more customers to the top 3 carriers.

I've been with Tmobile over 6 years now, and I am an EM+ customer. That is someone who is not under contract to stay with TMO, and I pay full price for my phones when I want a new one. I don't mind paying for what I want, but I fully expect to get what I pay for. Tmobile keeps their EM+ customers by competitive plan pricing, customer loyalty rewards, and better customer service than I've ever had with the other cell carriers (ATT or Sprint). I for one would not like to see Tmobile merged with Sprint for all the reasons that I left Sprint (in the middle of my contract) for Tmobile. I won't go into all the reasons I left Sprint, but suffice it to say that they went far enough out of their way in treating me bad enough that I will never do business with them ever again.

Yeah if they sell to Sprint, I shall be taking my 5-line plan somewhere else, unfortunately! Had Sprint and it was horrendous around these parts.

I guess we shall see.

Uh no. Sprint's started making me carry the $40 International blackberry option on my family plan in December on a permanent basis or I would never get it turned back on again. I have to go on International travel from time to time and need BBM to keep in touch with coworkers while at sites, and I won't get reimbursed for my phone bill. So my bill for 4 Blackberry devices on my International plan is at $240 per month. When I go to upgrade these Blackberry devices this summer, Sprint will add an additional $10 per month per phone to bring the total to $280. Since I use Blackberry, I don't use Gigs of data like other phones do. Also being with Sprint I have one phone to choose from for International capable Blackberry. Combine that with the fact that Sprint has no clear plan for the future, and WiMax and the deployment of it is a joke. So while Sprint may have the cheapest individual plans, the family ones are now going to be way overpriced. T-Mobile appears to have great coverage where I live, should support me overseas better than Sprint, be cheaper, and if they implemented their plan for the future would have a better network and coverage than Sprint has. If Sprint gets a hold of them then they will likely botch it up like they did with the Nextel merger.

But feel free to apply your prior statement about opinions and "ARSholes" to your own!
