This is AT&T's way of fixing their network issues - buying t-mobile?

It'll be "AT&T-Mob" now... :)

I guess that’s the last we’ll see of the commercials with the Ann Hathaway lookalike badmouthing ATT.

T-Mobile had affordable plans that didn’t require a lifetime commitment. That kind of insanity had to be stopped!!

Cap my DSL.

Make unlimited wireless data a myth.

And now buy T-Mobile?

Hat-trick of fail, Ma Bell!

AT&T is the only provider for which you need an attorney review their deals and monthly invoices.

More bad news for consumers. Less competition, and T-Mobile was actually relatively good about pricing. AT&T is pretty much lying about 4G capability and capping data and getting away with it. Ugh.

As a longtime T-Mobile customer I’m not sure I like this. They sure as hell didn’t ask my opinion...

Last week it was someone else...

I reached the bottom of the thread and still no picture of the new T-Mobile girl. Disappointing!

“This is AT&T’s way of fixing their network issues - buying t-mobile?”

This was a good move on AT & T’s part. T-MObile is the only other GSM provider (”metric system for cell”) in the US, so in all this places where I get a so-so T-Mobile signal and no TA & T signal now, I’m covered. I will be able to use my iPhone to talk to other people.

AT&T has opted to make an offer to purchase T-mobile. Here is the proof: Good news bad news for consumers as AT&T bids to buy T-mobile The merging would have to go through multiple approvals before starting. The Department of Justice and Federal Communication Commission would both have a say. Most consumers would partially benefit and partially be harmed by this merger.
