Great news :)
For as long as T-Mobile lives, Wind Mobile will continue to pick up nice phones as well. At least until they're more major. I think that's how it works right now?

This is great...I wonder if this was the plan from T-Mobile all along? It seems like they did better this way than they would have done if there was a buy-out!

No kidding! I'm ecstatic, maybe now there will be a reason for my having an unlimited plan! Pretty sure AT&T has 3G unlike T-Mobile in these parts >.>

Wow! Wonder why AT&T signed onto such a risky agreement in the first place.

The money goes to DT not T-Mobile and DT isn't going to invest any of it in T-Mobile USA. T-Mobile is still up for sales just no other cell company will be allowed to buy them. In all odds Comcast will probably buy them to better compete with AT&T.

I hope this doesn't happen just as much as I hoped the failed merger wouldn't. I hated Comcast when I was with them, just as I hate CableOne right now; cable companies are swindling pigs.

If Comcast is not taking T-Mobile over, Dish Network is waiting already to make an offer...

How do either of you nincompoops know this??
Pipe down with your propaganda!
I'd bet money that Comcast will NOT buy T-Mobile and Dish is a speculation so SHUT IT you rumor-spreading twits!!!

Dish was looking at Sprint months ago, but they have too much debt and too many issues to make a takeover viable. T-Mobile is a 'shoe-in' and a very possible alternative!
These are neither "propaganda" nor "rumors". Instead of blasting others with your childish and idiotic outbursts, you should do some home-work and check on the facts yourself.
Merry "effing" Christmas to you too!

The COMCAST part is your nonsense rumor. Again.......PIPE DOWN with propagating fluff. Dish isn't "waiting"........it was merely a consideration.
