Well, if you're among the 98% of T-Mobile subscribers who are still using a 3G handset, I've got some bad news for you. It looks like your phones won't be compatible with AT&T's network, once the merger is complete. This is exactly why people flip their shit when they hear about a buy-out. You'll need to buy a new phone as soon as AT&T is done with you, which probably means you'll also need to buy a new plan. Only in America does one carriers GSM signal not work with another carrier's GSM phones...
Despite the fact that this is a horrible waste of money for T-Mobile customers who already have perfectly good devices (and a perfectly good network, for that matter), it's also a shame that these phones are going to be thrown away or put on the shelf. We're a wasteful society, and all too often the corporations that try to control us ignore the true costs of their actions when they are presented with profitable business opportunities. Need I remind you again that economic growth is artificial when you simply take a dollar from the left hand and give it to the right.
