:frog:
Good, hopefully AT&T's coverage stops sucking in my area.
Does that make it AT&T&T-Mobile?
God [i]dammit.[/i]
This is why I am switching to verizon. At&t has very shitty service, it's almost like a joke.
If I remember correctly, AT&T was broken up many years ago for being a monopoly.
Are they trying to see how far they can go before another breakup?
Wait, didn't T-mobile recently absorb Orange? So AT&T Is gonna get control of T-mobile and Orange as a bonus?

And Orange is a subsidiary of France Telecom
I don't know why people don't like this, it's not affecting your phone service is a bad way. If you're already with AT&T, congrats, you have more cell towers. If you're with T-Mobile, congrats, you have more cell towers.
What the hell is going on with cell phone companies. They are all absorbing each other like they're playing Kirby.
fucking shit i hate when this happens. at&t are overpriced fuckheads and all the morons with iphones buy into their overpriced shit. you have to pay for goddamn tethering, pay for texting, pay for everything that takes 20 times less goddamn data that an actual call. its ridiculous.

you don't seem to recognize this will effect billing, customer service, and cell service.
at&t has always had shit connectivity in my area, will my cell phone suddenly get shitty connectivity? probably not, but the main reasons I signed up for t-mobile over at&t was because at&t charges FAR more, and their customer service is SHIT in comparison with t-mobile's.

I am almost 60% sure that this is the kind of merger where the company stays almost exactly the same with few changes from the purchasing company

hahahahahahah
knowing at&t, that won't be the case at all
For the same price you could purchase and maintain 130 F-35's for the next 20 years.
