Just last week a buddy of mine dropped AT&T and went to T-mobile because AT&T shafted him.

He was thrilled to hear this news

I've been with AT&T for years, since they were Bellsouth Mobility in fact. Never had any complaints. I stuck with them because they had service in areas that I traveled to where others did not. Most carriers have greater coverage areas now, so that may not be such a big concern. Also, I have a good plan from 10 years ago that is not offered anymore, that I get to keep so long as I never change it. If I were a new customer, not sure if I would choose AT&T or not, but as an existing one I have no complaints. Just got my new smartphone for free for signing up for 2 more years, and I love the phone...

The only gripe I have is that AT&T does not offer unlimited data plans. Now, I don't use that much currently, so I don't know that it matters for me but it's the principle. From what I have read, the other carriers are looking to start going the same direction, and phasing out unlimited options. Lame...

I have T-Mobile and I don't like the news but as long as I don't change phones or plans I can keep my T-Mobile plan or at least that's what happened with my wife when Alltel was bought by Verizon.news report say it will take a year to complete the deal and it is still has to be approved by the U.S. government.

They will lose customers in droves if they try to do that. I can't imagine they would try to force customers to buy new phones, but companies have certainly done stupid things before...

A regular customer told me about this last night, he also said the Gov't may not allow this to take place due to competition ,and preventing too much power in one company. How true that is I don't know.

[Smittro]

I'll pay the extra.. Here in s.western PA. Verizon has a tower every 50 ft..lol

Better service than any other plans around here..

I was listening to Clark Howard and he's saying it's a terrible idea and will set the cell phone industry back to where it was in the mid '90s due to a monopoly.

Yeah, AT&T has done a great job of rebuilding itself almost to where it was when the gov't busted them up the first time! They've already bought some of their former units like Bellsouth and some of the newer competitors. I've always thought it was silly to make them break up, but then allow them to buy out other companies. Kinda defeated the purpose. But who expects the feds to do anything sensible...

If AT&T gets T-Mobile you can kiss their customer service goodbye.
