Tmobiles 1900 is edge, I believe. I'm sure I will be corrected shortly if I'm incorrect.

The newer phones support all frequencies, once the refarming takes shape this will not matter. T-mobile is a big supporter of bring your own phone..

IMHO T-Mobile is useless unless you A.) Don't travel at all. & B.) Live in a major metropolitan area. Just my 2 cents, and btw I've worked for VZW, Alltel & Suncom (T-Mobile bought them)....currently using Sprint as primary carrier with VZW as backup.

Shame that a site owner has a view like this. All carriers are guilty of having dead spots. That's the nature of radio waves, no company has magic radio waves that provide signal everywhere.

**Should have noted that this is what I have experienced and I have traveled with them from the east coast to Saint Louis to lower Mississippi areas. I still stick to my guns tho.
