I would avoid T-Mobile like the plague. We were on Verizon (great 
customer service, fantastic coverage, a little more $$ than T-Mobile) 
and our contract lapsed, so we looked at T-Mobile. Seemed like a much 
sweeter deal -- it is $$-wise, but the # of dropped calls, no coverage 
or crappy coverage, makes them a poor candidate here in Tucson.

I asked them about it and they said that they don't have near future 
plans to add more towers/cell locations in town. They said we won't get 
much signal in grocery stores (where else do men use cell phones?) -- 
bullsh*t - never used to be a problem with Verizon!

My $0.02 worth.
