I care about the best value over all and that has been T-Mobile for me over
the past five years or so. I used to have Verizon prior to T-Mobile, but
with four lines and limited data allowance the monthly bill was too much.
That’s when I started to look into T-Mobile even though it had a reputation
for spotty coverage in my area. I made the switch anyway and have been
pleased with the improvements which have occurred over the past 2-3 years.
My bill has remained the same over that period except when I’ve made
changes or gotten phones from them. 

Another factor to consider is customer support. Verizon customer support
was extremely frustrating for me. I have been very pleased anytime I’ve
gone to the T-Mobile store or had to call them. When I complained about
signal strength in my house they gave me a mini tower no charge. Verizon
refused to do that in the past and I was forced to buy one on eBay. I can
say my experiences are night and day between the two carriers, and remember
that I still carry a Verizon work phone so it’s not experiences from the
past only. 

A few years ago I was so pleased with T-Mobile and believed in their
direction. I bought their stock. Unfortunately I sold it after a year and
wish I had kept it.
