The WSJ has published a round-up of phone companies, wired and wireless,
|
|
ranking them based on performance and price. They don't mention Nextel, whose
|
|
hullking milspec i700 handset I've been carrying for years now, with incredible
|
|
reception all over the US and Canada. Their front-line customer service sucks,
|
|
but the prices and network can't be beat.
|
|
|
|
T-Mobile is in the midst of a massive makeover. In recent months, the
|
|
company changed its name and launched an ad campaign featuring Ms. Zeta
|
|
Jones.
|
|
|
|
The company has a history worth hiding. T-Mobile, a subsidiary of Deutsche
|
|
Telekom, is known for having a weak national network, and the FCC received
|
|
1,466 complaints about the company in the past year, giving it one of the
|
|
worst complaint rates in the industry. T-Mobile says their complaint rate
|
|
has tapered off and that they have made substantial network improvements.
|
|
|
|
But T-Mobile is the cheapest wireless provider, available, with an average
|
|
cost of just 8.2 cents per minute. (Verizon, by contrast, costs 14.3 cents
|
|
per minute.)
