This is horrible news if it goes through. The loss of competition is never good. T-Mobile gave customers a low priced alternative to the over priced plans offered by AT&T and Verizon, not to mention the loss of jobs. Expect your cell phone and data rates to climb because of this.

Expect your cell phone and data rates to climb because of this. yet here in the chicagoland area t-mobile service would frequently just cut out some days. it wasnt the greatest network leading me to the age old saying "you get what you pay for" now grated AT&T doesnt have the best network but after dealing with verizons customer service i dont mind AT&T at all. my iPhone is fast and i get signal where i need signal

Now I got to use a crappier customer service again. Errrrrrr...

T-Mobile is still going to remain an independent company, don't worry people. AT&T is just gonna own them but T-Mobile is still going to be a company. Their not getting the iPhone though:P.

I've actually switched to the Virgin (subsidiary of Sprint) plans to avoid the high cost of verizon and AT&T plans. If you're a relatively low talker, they have some really compelling no-contract plans.
Oh helll noooooooooooooooo. OMGG. They better not mess up my T-Mobile service! :(Bloodseeker23
You're not going to have any more "T-Mobile service". lol. I used to be an Alltel customer but when Verizon bought them out I was pretty much forced to get new Verizon phones and switch to Verizon plans.

Well 2 things a) blah iPhone lOL B) They never said no iPhone, it says TMO does not offer iPhone, once complete tho TMO/ATT can possibly sell the iPhone and ya people use tmo, most people around me have tmo in all honesty!
Hmm, surprised this is allowed with AT&T already nearly a monopoly.

In what? GSM technology? Although the consumer is going to get royally screwed with this deal, but who was surprised? Sprint wasnt going to buy T-Mobile because they use a CDMA network, as well as Verizon.
Same, it is the majority in my area, AT&T has no reception as opposed to T-mobile that has just wonky reception. As do I. And I am not happy about this one bit. I hope things turn out better in the end, but I have a feeling this will only lead to higher prices :(
i use it too but only cause i used to use suncom which was bought out by t mobile. and i only used suncom cause of its old unplan deal. basically unlimited everything for 49.99 which turned into just unlimited calls. then i was going to switch carriers when i moved out here for school but t mobile looked up a special they apparently still had running when they bought suncom. i now for 49.99 get unlimited roaming in the US lol. 5 bucks for 300 texts(i dont text alot and another 5 bucks for a limited data plan which i dont use web on my phone much either) so over all with taxes id say its a pretty good deal for me personally. i know people that still use the original 29.99 unplan cause its contracted so they are forced to abide by it and all the contracts always have an auto renewal for the same price. plus if i ever have kids i can still add them to my unlimited plan for like 10 bucks extra a month lol. i really cant complain
I hope the FTC block this takeover. Having three major cell phone companies in the country doesnt help consumers. Less competition means less innovation, quality of service and higher prices.
