and, the Carolinas (the areas I'm interested in) are roaming coverage.
not the 850MHz roaming.
what does that mean?

Heck, you couldn't even get a decent at the local T-Mobile store.

Subject: Re: [CGUYS] T-Mobile?
WARNING: Rant
I just got a notice from T-Mobile. They raised their fees for SMS/text
to 20 cents incoming/outgoing. That's outrageous! Is this a reaction to
a US market that doesn't complain when prices are raised for no reason?
Or is this to counter the European Union's actions to reduce price
gouging by Euro telcos? Looks like T-Mobile/Deutsche Telekom is making
up lost fees in the EU by raising our rates, although their 2007
earnings look good. The least that ALL telcos should do is have free
incoming texts so we don't have to pay for spam texts.
I'm seriously considering switching to 7-11 SpeakOut [lowered their
charges for voice and text in 1/08], or buying another SpeakOut phone
and using it for text [5 cents incoming/outgoing texts, 15 cents/min
voice, 1 yr expiration] and keeping T-Mobile PAYGO for voice [10
cents/min, $100 refill, 1 yr expiration]. Wish they sold the dual SIM
phones in the US so I wouldn't have to carry two phones, but, again,
the
United States is far behind other countries when it comes to mobile as
well as broadband.
The international United Mobile SIM card has free incoming calls in 80
countries, but not here. TravelSIM has free incoming calls and texts in
many countries, but not here. The US can't compete because Americans,
except sometimes in Philadelphia region, don't demand fair prices.
Instead we get "nickeled and dimed" to death by the likes of Verizon
and
AT&T, paying $50-60/month for services that cost $30-35/month
elsewhere.
Eurozone smart phones are much cheaper too, Nokia N95 €29 euros w/18
mo.
plan vs. $600 in US, no plan available.
If you primarily use voice, T-Mobile has the best deal, as long as the
reception is good. If you text more than talk, try SpeakOut [uses AT&T
GoPhone network, phones sold only at 7-11 stores] No 7-11 near you?
Have
a friend pick one up for you.

Take a look here:

I think they give a pretty good rundown of all the services. I just
changed my regular Verizon service to pre-pay.
