What Service is best for YOU and YOUR
money?
T Mobile and
AT&T are two of the biggest service providers in the country. Both provide
superior service and annoying ticks. At one point in 2011, AT&T tried to
merge T Mobile into their company. Attempts for that did not go as planned.
Today, both companies try to advertise their wireless service all over country.
Wherever we go, we can point out flyers, “specials”, sales, and other
advertisements in order for the companies to try to pull us into a contract. Although
many do not like the sound of a contract, opening a 2 year contract with these
services does provide us with a discounted phone. The price of the discounted
phone is appealing to us due to its large drop form retail.
T Mobile has the less expensive individual plans and
family plans to provide us with. As mentioned on T MOBILE PLANS, you can receive
2 lines on a family plan for $139.99. This includes unlimited minutes, text,
and up to 2GB of High Speed internet data. After the 2 GBs are up, the internet
is still unlimited, however it is not 4G high speeds, rather it is regular
speed. AT&T does have the better service which very small number of dropped
calls and frustration. Their cheapest unlimited family plan does start at a
steep $169.99.
Although, prices do make a bigger difference when it
comes to choosing a service provider, the phones also make a superior
difference. Unlike T Mobile, AT&T was the first service to provide the very
popular iPhone. Today, AT&T offers the iPhone 4S for $199.99 with a 2 year
agreement. Unlike AT&T, T Mobile does not provide the iPhone with their
plans, however many do use an iPhone on the T Mobile service. If the iPhone was
to be built to work and be sold by T Mobile, I believe that there would be mass
price competitions between not just AT&T, and T Mobile, but Verizon
Wireless and Sprint. T Mobile does have the least expensive plans between the 3
other large carriers, however they do lack in their iPhone department which is
holding them back from reaching superior success.
