How is it? Its ok, but its one of these deals, where its a computer first, and a phone second.
I have had friends complain about calling me sometimes and having error messages like "Number is not in service", and then they'll call right back, and I'll be fine again. I also get dropped calls, and times when I wont even get a call, yet friends will call and it rolls straight to voice mail.
So I got online today and chatted with a Tmobile rep. Heres a copy of the chat. Note how she really doesn't directly address my issues, rather just updates my "system". I think when my contract is up, I'm going to seek another provider. I've been with Tmobile for 5 years, and customer service is declining rapidly.

Demetria E: How long have you been having the problems.
Redassaggie00 : about 4 or 5 months
Demetria E: Redassaggie00, do you receive an error message?
Redassaggie00 : every now and then, my friends will call my cell
Redassaggie00 : and it will say that my number is out of service
Redassaggie00 : and these are people that have me stored in their phone books
Demetria E: Can you place a test call to the device at this time?
Redassaggie00 : you want me to call my cell phone?
Demetria E: Yes, that is correct Redassaggie00.
Redassaggie00 : ok
Redassaggie00 : calling now from my office
Redassaggie00 : its ringing
Demetria E: Thank you.
Redassaggie00 : this doesn’t happen all the time
Redassaggie00 : but several times a week
Demetria E: I am going to update the service, Redassaggie00.
Redassaggie00 : what service is that?
Demetria E: ON my end, power the device off and back on again.
Redassaggie00 : ok
Redassaggie00 : what service are you updating?
Demetria E: The network, Redassaggie00 have you powered the device off and back on again?
Redassaggie00 : I see
Redassaggie00 : yes I have
Demetria E: Thank you, please make another test call to your mobile number.
Redassaggie00 : its ringing
Demetria E: The service, is working, Redassaggie00?
Redassaggie00 : yes
Demetria E: So at this time the service you can receive calls?
Redassaggie00 : I was able to receive calls before
Redassaggie00 : just every now and then, at least weekly, I would get callers complaining about the number being out of service
Demetria E: Okay, at this time Redassaggie00, the service is working, I have updated the network and you should not be experiencing the problem anymore.
Redassaggie00 : so every time the network is updated, do I need to go onto chat and ask for my number to be updated?
Demetria E: No, it will be fine, but if you want to make sure you have a strong network connection, I would like to make a suggestion, that you power the device off at least every 72 hours, for at least 10 seconds then power the device back on again.
Redassaggie00 : I see
Redassaggie00 : last time I contacted tech support
Redassaggie00 : they informed me that G3 coverage near my home was low
Redassaggie00 : and the I wouldn’t receive calls, but people would leave voice mails and I’d get those, then
Redassaggie00 : the phone automatically switches between 3G and edge
Redassaggie00 : and kills the battery. Is there a solution?
Demetria E: Yes, I see do you have any additional questions, or concerns.
Redassaggie00 : yes
Redassaggie00 : I’m concerned that Tmobile has not resolved the 3G coverage issue in my area
Demetria E: We are currently working on the issue Redassaggie00.
Demetria E: Is there anything else we can assist you with today?
Redassaggie00 : apparently not.
Redassaggie00 : Thanks.
So there you have it. We'll see what the next few days bring.
