Just Now AM. I have been a Verizon customer for nearly 20 years. For most of that time, I have stuck with Verizon because the coverage was hands down the best. Over the last 2 years, Verizon's coverage has gotten worse and worse. I live in the populous suburbs of Chicago, not in the stix. See Also : Customer Service Show details. They screwed up my SIM card, and cost me 88 miles of travel and 8 hours of time. I asked for a credit of my first month's bill, and was told that a supervisor would have to look at it and approve, and that I would get a return call.

Just Now But I'm wondering if they're worth the cost versus prepaid. The first problem is that some legacy Sprint LTE phones and data devices may not support the core cellular bands for the T-Mobile network, and once the shutdown happens they will be mostly obsolete. A new SIM card can't change the fact that these devices simply do not support critical T-Mobile cellular bands.

If you're an existing Sprint customer, there's nothing you need to do yet. Your phone will still work, your plan won't change, and you can go to the same stores for service. Rather than a quick cutoff, you're going to see a slow switch with lots of opportunities to change trains.

She lives in another state. No problem, log into my account, pay full price because they wont discount anything forcing you to change had it sent to her.

She goes to the store to get help activating it she has a hard time with these things And they "can't" help because I bought it from the old Sprint web site. No she has to try to do it on her own with, in my experience so far, the worst customer services reps on the planet.

I paid full price because I was lied to about billing already. When my "buy one get one" deal is up, I'm never going back. T Mobile Down Right Sucks!! Here again Sprint when away, forced into T Mobile, purchased a new phone, has their Sim card in so it will supposedly work and the service is terrible!!

Call up to the Sprint store in Chambersburg, now T Mobile and they will not answer the phone! Called there so Called support and I'm being told that with their Sim card in the phone it will only link to their towers, no roaming to someone else's tower.

Good is that? We will be looking for a new carrier asap. I was forced to switch over from Sprint to T-Mobile after learning that sprint was shutting down. Not only did I have to purchase a new phone the service sucks. My new I phone says 5G i did a speed test an found to be getting a whopping. T Mobile is a true lie. There is no 5G, when I am driving I can no longer get map directions. There is no cellular data most of the time. Unless I am at home using my WiFi, I can barely get any cellular service for maps, music, and general reading on the internet.

Yes, I have all the settings correct. The coverage map is a fraud. T-Mobile is a fraud company. They literally don't have towers where they claim to have coverage. A physical impossibility. The BBB is fraud. Dav, 27 Sep Why are they letting T-mobile monopolize?

I ask myself the same thing. So after being emailed to death about switching over from Sprint to TM, I got on text with a rep to discuss the change over.

My bill with Sprint is TM will be Then they told me I would have to change my phone number that I have been using for 20 years. When they saw they were losing me they said that I could get up to I told them I would be looking into other alternative carriers.
