Steve.

I realize all you believe is in pretty Verizon MARKETING brochures
o And that you hold on to your imaginary belief system sans facts

For example, you _still_ believe Qualcomm royalties went down.
o And you still believe iPHone total cost of ownership is lower

But the salient fact remains T-Mobile data/voice roaming is free on
o Verizon towers
o AT&T towers
o US Cellular towers

So if T-Mobile has no coverage, as you claim, why would it matter?

Steve is bullshitting as I live smack dab in the middle of the Santa Cruz
mountains and T-Mobile coverage is no different than anyone else (based on
conversations with my neighbors, most of whom are on the major 3 carriers).

Anyway, the question remains valid:
o If T-Mobile allows free voice/data roaming 
o When there isn't a nearby T-Mobile tower
o Then what's to prevent T-Mo customers from roaming on all three?
  Verizon, AT&T, and US Cellular

Posted as a reasonable logical sensible question seeking factual responses.
