AGREED. This is never going to happen and damn well shouldn't!

As for the comment "T-Mobile's discount prices in comparison to others might be lost in the merger.".........MIGHT???? MIGHT????.........how about "WILL HAPPEN".

I HATE LYING COMPANIES!!!!!! American business at its finest. PRICKS!!!!
