I have ATTWS now, but if I had to do it over I would get T-mobile. I'm using ATT's GSM service, and it's pretty spotty, especially on the edges of town. I get full T-mobile signal on the phone anywhere I go around here, but I can't use it since I'm with ATT. Supposedly, ATT is replacing all of their TDMA towers with GSM, and their coverage with GSM is supposed to be much better by the end of the year. Once number portability goes into effect, they better get their act together or they will lose customers. > -----Original Message----- > From: Stephen R.
