T-mobile vs. Verizon


T-mobile national coverage map

Verizon national coverage map

First off, I have T-mobile, and I hate it. There are so many more holes on the T-mobile map, and obviously there's less service. As you can see on the Verizon map the midwest is pretty much solid with coverage.

Second, my friend's screen on her phone cracked on the inside twice for no reason, keep in mind that she doesn't have insurance and she has Verizon, anyways, the first time she took it in she paid $50.00 for a new phone, the second time she took it in which was about a week later, she got a free new phone.

The same thing happened to my phone when I had the dash, my screen cracked on the inside for no reason, and I took it into T-mobile and they asked me if I had insurance, and I said no, and then they said there was nothing they could do about it and if I wanted a new phone that I could buy a new one for over $300.00, and I asked if they could fix it, and they said they had no idea how to and they told me to go to a Verizon store to get help, which is complete bullshit, because they're referring me to another phone company. I have some tech-smart friends, and they told me I should just get a new screen online and so I did, and it was about $70.00 altogether, which isn't a big deal. I got it in the mail and one my my tech savvy friends fixed it, but after a month of so, the screen cracked again. HTC phones are what they're cracked up to be.

Lastly, for T-mobile you have to wait 2 years to get an upgrade, but for Verizon, you wait two years for when you first get your contract, and then just one year after that to get an upgrade.

So in conclusion, T-mobile sucks, and Verizon wins.
If only I could get out of this two year contract.
