Hi to everyone,

I'm right now on a T-mobile easyspeak pre-paid plan. I will be switching probably by the next month on a subscribed plan. Can anyone tell me which US Mobile carrier will give me the best deal and best service and best price, ( with MMS capability ) suitable for my SE p800 phone. and pls. tell me why? Thanks

I think you should stay with T-Mobile and get one of their subscribed plans. They have the best deals and cheapest GPRS data plan. They also have MMS.

In your area T-Mobile and Cingular share networks so they have the same coverage.

Att is still in a build out phase for their GSM, I would go with TM. They offer the best bang for the bucks and their nationwide coverage is better than anyone else's as far as GSM is concerned in The US. I have been with TM for over 3 years and I love it.

Yes, don't go with AT&T UNLESS they give you a very good deal and has the best coverage in your area.

On an overall basis I would give following rating:

1) T-Mobile
2) Cingular
3) AT&T

But that is just my opinion.

It really depends on your area.

I would go with T-Mobile subscribed plan if I were you. AT&T GSM is still somewhat unreliable, as is Cingular.

I am generally satisfied with T-Mobile but att has a stronger signal in NYC area. Att is bad for GPRS because they block a lot of was access so you have to use their portals.

T-Mobile seems to have the best plans price wise, but you need to ensure you'll have a good signal in SFO.

I would recommend borrowing someone's mobile (with TM) and trying it in regular haunts.

He already has T-Mo EasySpeak, so he knows they are good...
