Misc -- I've fired AT&T wireless - Page 4

Simply Red · 12-12-2010, 08:55 AM

-piss poor coverage

-dropped calls

-inflated 'BS' charges causing my bill to total well over a hundred per month

-lackluster shipping on a hardware order, which was scheduled to ship out overnight, i've yet to receive my new phone, and it's been a week.

Hello Metro PCS $45.00 for unlimited 'everything'

My question is, What leverage will i have to get out of my current contract? They are a little more forgiving if your service has been shit, right? Anyone prematurely dropped out of a contract, recently?

Thanks ya'll.

And therein lies the problem, if all your competition treats their customers like shit, then there's no incentive for you to do any better.

My wife and I will probably stay with TMobile because of the positive customer service experiences. We are tempted by the iPhone, but we have virtually no service issues with TMobile, so we likely have andriod phones in our future.

I've seen side-by-side independent tests of iphone 4 v Samsung Galaxy, and the Galaxy seems to have a very slight edge in loading web pages.

You can get an iphone for Tmobile.. Just have to buy online and have it shipped overseas from Europe....

No support for the phone though since it is being used in the US..

Here in Iowa I can go through tmobile (called Iwireless here) and get a plan thats 70 bucks that does everything...internet, talk, text etc all unlimited without a contract.

If you dont want to do it yourself, you can usually find someone on craigslist that does the unlocking/jailbreaking for you.

I have been with ATT for several years now (started when they were Cingular). Haven't had much problem. I did get rid of their land line and horrible internet service a year or two ago, but kept the wireless. My contract has been up for a month now. I want to get a new phone but I'm not sure I want to do another contract. I don't need an extravagant phone. The only problem is the prepaid phones they sell all suck. I want one that has a physical slide out keyboard. Can't do that touch screen texting.

Easiest way out is to see if they changed the contract in anyway lately and then say you do not agree with the new terms.. Do not say anything other then you do not agree with the new terms..

Say you are moving to an area they cannot provide coverage for.. Or turn the phone to roaming and make them pay tons of money..
