T-Mobile 0 Out of 5 Phone Model: samsung e315, x475, nokia 3595, motorola c350	Miami / Kern, South Bend, IN 46614	Wed Jan 25, 2006
	EVERYTIME we go through this intersection your call gets dropped, no service, for about 100' in any direction of this intersection. Also heading North on Miami when you go down the hill samething no service. T-Mobile here in Indiana is really crappy, they haven't developed enough partnerships with Cingular and built enough towers to provide good service in this area. Only time service is decent is if you are right on top of a tower! I have informed T-Mobile every month for the last 10 months about how crappy service is here and they just say "We will let our engineers know of the problem" Not to mention every phone that I have gotten from them I have had to exchange atleast 1 time in the first year. The best phone I recieved from them was my Nokia 3595. Motorola c650 doesn't like the internet, the Samsung e315 is just crap, you cannot store downloaded games on the phone! T-Mobiles tech support and their stores are useless when you have a problem. I had to flash my phone myself to fix the problems, they said "We can send you a new phone $10 for upto 10 day delivery or $15 for 3 day delivery" they said "We were spending 20 million a month on shipping replacement phones so we had to start charging" Well if you got decent phones and didn't screw them up with your branding you wouldn't have that problem... March 8th my contract is up and I will be going elsewhere... FINALLY! BTW I had T-Mobile in FLorida and everything was great there, no service problems at all! If I was still in Florida I would never leave T-Mobile!
