T-Mo To Go Question

I am interested in going T-Mobile To-Go since they offer the cheapest rates based on my usage. There have been rumors that T-Mo T-G will be starting to allow roaming outside of their native network (RE: http://go4prepaid.blogspot.com/2006/...s-have-to.html), which would theoretically improve the coverage in my area (Upstate NY). Does anyone happen to know it there is anything behind these rumors?

Also, I was looking at the Samsung x495. Does anyone have any comments or experience with it?

Thanks a bunch!

I haven't heard anything about roaming for TMO pre-pay. Not to say that it's not possible, but I have not heard any word on it.

Same here, but my store really don't get fed the newest news first either. My T-Mobile Rep. isn't the best at getting us updated on info like that.

its all over hofo

whats HOFO mean???

HOFO is howardforums, which looks a lot like this place

Yeah, thats where I got a lot of that information in the first place. Though I called up a T-Mo rep, and she really didn't know anything about it.

I can see some reasoning behind allowing roaming, though. TMTG's coverage area is borderline laughable, and since T-Mobile had a a good year last year in terms of pre-pay sales, I suppose it would make sense for them to try and get some more customers on board. Just a thought.

I actually never heard of it either, it would be my big surprise if they plan to do this, otherwise I couldn't even got my to work after my move from Minnesota to here Montana since its native network also.

cant belive no one has heard about it.

Theoretically it's supposed to start in March (according to a few people who called up T-Mo). But as much as I would love to see it, I'm not holding my breath...

I activated a T-mobile To_go account on Monday Mar-13-2006 and the T-Mobile CS rep stated Cingular roaming started two days earlier. She walked me through the method for changing networks. I live in the SF Bay Area and confirmed that the phone does show both available networks.

It seems I get the best of both worlds now with the most favorable rates via T-Mobile (.10/min, 1 year exp) and better coverage in my area via Cingular's network.

I second the great customer service at T-Mobile. Although limited to an initial contact to start a new account, the call connected quickly to a real human and the rep was VERY helpful and efficient.
