    Thinking about switching to tmobile

    Right now got aTt. How would I go about going to say T-Mobile store. I want to test drive it and see how things work. Cause as of right now my local area doesn't have 3G. And there is one location that may have it can't never go by maps for that location cause att is spotty. And Verizon and everything else gets nothing at all. Would they let me say sign a 2 year and get the cheapist 3G phone they got to test it out for maybe 15 ddays and return equipment afterwards if i don't like it? What would I be charged? And how much would a depostit be? As I currently have no credit

    I would get a cheap prepaid Tmobile phone or just a Sim if your current phone is unlocked to try it out. You wouldn't want to sign a contract without knowing the coverage area and have to deal with loss of money while waiting for the deposit to come back.

    You could just pay T-Mobile $3 a day and it comes with Unlimited data and text and i also think talk. Then you would know.

    That sounds good. But I dont have a 3G Phone to test it on. The only thing I have is a GPRS Razor and a LG Nitro HD which would use EDGE. I would need to see the 3G coverage at another location that im at half of the week

    Easy, go to Target. They allow return on prepaid phones under 30 days old even if activated. So get the DASH 3g they have for 99bucks. Put your sim in and try it. Or like the other poster said. get the 3 buck a day option to try it.

    I think you got the phone model wrong. the Dash is a VERY OLD Windows Mobile phone. And I looked on Targets website and theres NOT one T-Mobile phone on there. And I wouldnt want to waste a trip. Target is an hour away, The closest one anyway. I`ll go to wally world and get the Samsung Dart and try that its 99

    But of course if I like T-Mobile I`ll sell my Nirtro and get a good T-Mobile phone lol. Wal-mart got the 15 or 30 day return for phones?

    There is also a $2.00/day plan that is the same, unlimited talk and text, except this plan also includes unlimited data, but at 2G speeds.

    Here is something coming in my mind: go to walmart.com and get samsung T679 (exhibit II) prepaid package, and get another prepaid package (see below).
    Activate $2 or $3 daily plan and try first. If you are happy with the service, change it to monthly plan.
    The second prepaid SIM is specially used for $30 5GB plan if needed.

    Yea if i just didn't care I'd just use my LG nitro to test things out. But I want to test where I can get 3G. Cause my town doesn't have 3G but my 2nd house might as on there maps it shows that there is 3g coverage ONLY Above that house. Even for att. And Verizon but Verizon don't work there at all
