Now that the T-Mobile and Sprint merger is complete it remains to be seen if Sprint’s horrible customer service and terrible pricing structures will contaminate T-Mobile or if T-Mobile will overcome bad habits that Sprint developed.<\/p>\n

I killed all Sprint accounts back when they were a long distance company.<\/p>\n

Later I worked in a building we shared with a Sprint customer service center. Sprint’s customer service people were simply put, awful people, even in their personal lives.<\/p>\n

In the quad outside the building they re-enforced all the reasons I’d closed my accounts back when they were only a long distance company. By this time they were a cellular company but the bad behaviors were still in evidence.<\/p>\n

I’m hoping that I won’t have to change providers. But in the event that I do, I’m going to look into some of the smaller companies and perhaps even the retiree companies.<\/p>\n

The coverage is probably going to be about the same, it’s going to be about the customer service and cost for me.<\/p>\n

I have an unlocked world phone, that I own outright. So all the contracts and incentives or financing will be of no consequence.<\/p>\n

I don’t even call my mobile provider except maybe once every couple of years. That being said, I have no desire to pay for crappy service or services that I don’t use.<\/p>\n

T-Mobile is currently giving me pretty good service at a reasonable price on all my devices. So I’m going to do the research now and wait to see what happens.<\/p>\n

Much as I’d like to have the new iPhone 11 hotness, and if I have to change carriers it would be a good time to get a new phone I’m hoping that I don’t have to. On the other hand… It would be an excuse… <\/p>\n

Hummm<\/p>\n

I wonder if one of the other carriers would make it just really<\/strong> easy…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
