I really do LOVE T-Mobile. Please don't tell me this is really true.
Though when I go to India I do not expect to use my phone.
I had Verizon and AT&T and they had the WORST service ever.

Cellphone companies nickel and dime you to death. It's absolutely insane. I love how Verizon wants to charge people 15 bucks for Rhapsody service to allow the uninitiated to neatly drop and drag music to their cellphones, via Rhapsody's pretty user interface. You can do the same thing indirectly by dragging your computer's music files to the phone's sd card files.

Uh, from what I understand, Pelosi don't fuck with anyone that contributes in the thousands. They have their own legislation.

O/T Could this be Sarah's campaign song? Is the lead singer Greek? Kind of looks like John A...
Why? Because John McCain says the FREE MARKET will fix it! REPUBLICANS = DEREGULATION

i have t-mobile cellphone service for one main reason - i travel out of the country a great deal and t-mobile provides roaming service in over 250 countries... however, their out-of-the u.s. roaming charges range from $1.99 a minute up to a whopping $4.99 a minute (in afghanistan)... i keep their service and my quad-band phone only for emergencies so that i have another way besides email to be reached in case of a family emergency... i NEVER use it for taking or placing calls when i'm outside the u.s., and instead always use a local cell phone and local provider.. i do use t-mobile for texting even tho' text messages outside the u.s. are 35 cents each, but i consider that infinitely more reasonable than the voice call roaming charges... for voice calls, i use the skype voip service which i find to be high quality and, computer-to-computer, is free... i called land lines from afghanistan back to the u.s. on skype for 2.1 cents a minute and pay the same rate from argentina to the u.s.... one additional, extremely annoying facet of t-mobile service is that, unless you have your calls forwarded to voice mail, if a call rings on your phone when you're out of the u.s., even if you DON'T pick it up, they still charge you for a full minute of use... t-mobile, by the way, is a wholly-owned service of deutsche telekomm...
If I'm not careful, my phone will connect to the Internet if I even look at it funny. I realized this within a day of getting it. I don't have a media plan -- and don't want one -- and there is no way to turn off the connect button, which is on the front of the device and can be activated unintentionally, something I've done several times.
I live in mortal fear of being charged for hours of connect time.

John, You need to look at other thing... in Europe you may not get charged for the incoming calls but the person calling you pays more. Also SMS's. In Poland for example you get piddly amount of minutes (for example 150 on plans that cost as much as the average 1000 minute plan on T-Mobile in the US)..on top of that you never know what you pay since the plan says that you get 150 minutes OR so many sms's. I find plans in Europe (Poland including) VERY confusing and deceptive. Try calling a land line from the US to Poland - Vonage charges $0.01 per minute to land lines yet try ringing a mobile phone - BAM - $0.35 per minute...that's because they get whacked by the fees from Mobile operators in Poland. So while we may think we get treated like shit, take into the consideration that after I priced my plan to the same one in Poland I'd have to pay the equivalent of $400 for 1000 minutes, 1000 messages, and unlimited internet.
