If TMobile coverage is good in your area, I can say without a doubt that they are outstanding and the call quality with either WiFi calling or Voice Over LTE is excellent. Their LTE speeds are really good especially if you live in an area where they have upgraded to wide band LTE. They will even

I've always gotten good reliable service, and they have the best coverage in this area. No dropped calls or dropping of signals. Plus, I did not have the money to buy a phone outright, so paying so much a month was the way for me to go. I think that I get what I pay for. --- Be positive! Wh

Just out of curiosity, i wonder if the recommendations abroad are the same as here in Sweden. The sonos vendor here in Sweden or at least one of them recommends a Connect amp and stereo speakers for the best sound in the living room where you listen most often to music. /Krister > 19 dec 2014 k

$90 a month with 2 Gig of data is also a rip-off. You can get the same from most MVNO’s for half that. Of course you would have to bring your own unlocked phone to the table, but consider saving $40 a months over a 24 months contract period, that is $960. Now add the at least $200 you paid if yo

Hi Joseph, I don’t want to be negative here, but one thing I always wonder about is how people sign up for these super expensive plans and feel they are getting their money’s worth when in fact these plans are a rip-off. Cellular plans in the US as well as in Canada for the most part are a r

Hi Charles, And I bet there are plenty of people who had a bad experience with Verizon and who wouldn’t touch them with a ten foot or even 20 foot pole. From time to time the proverbial shit happens and a company or store or organization you deal with screws up. I own a retail store and try

RE: Sonos speakers

2014-12-19 Thread Sieghard Weitzel
No, Sonos is what I would consider Hi-Fi audio equipment for multi-room setups. None of their speakers works on batteries and none of them is bluetooth as the limited bandwidth of bluetooth does not allow for high-end audio playback. The least expensive Sonos speaker is a Play 1 which is $199.99
