T-Mobile Houdini Program

[liveforten]

Hi Everyone,

This is my first post here, but looks like a great resource for WP owners. I currently have an ATT lumia 520 go phone. (Purchased to use for the remainder of my contract after my lumia 900's screen broke). But now I've been reading about this possible new program from tmobile that could pay off an ETF to switch to them. It's just a rumor at this point, but it looks pretty possible. I'm strongly considering jumping to tmobile through this program, and hopefully getting an L925. Ideally they could give me the equipment installment plan as well. It wouldn't really work out for me to pay full cost for a smartphone up front (even though that may make the most financial sense).

I'm still trying to wrap my head around the no-contract thing at T-Mobile. I had a phone with them briefly, way way back, so not sure how it would go. Has anyone else heard of this program, or are thinking about switching carriers the same way? Any recommendations or thoughts you have would be great, like ATT vs. Tmobile etc.

Happy Holidays!

I've read a couple of things about it. It said something about paying up to $325 of an ETF. How they pay that back to you, I am not sure.

Remember to check t-mo's coverage in your area

that should always be a first. I once got Verizon and the service was garbage and it was a pain to cancel it.

I don't really have a lot of problems with Tmo coverage wise (Central Fl area) my biggest gripe is phones. They only have 2 WPs and there's no signs of them adding any new ones....(hopefully this changes with CES).

You can always run unlocked versions on T-Mo of other WP phones. They seem to work for me in So Cal...

If you want WP, tmo isn't the best carrier and unlocked AWS phones aren't cheap. Much better to buy an att phone and find a prepay MVNO carrier that uses att's network, best phone choice, cheaper plans but better coverage
