T-Mobile Phone Service in Houston

Cons: Bad roaming
Terrible Customer Service
Lousy Technical Support

After switching from Verizon after a contract lapse, I chose T-mobile thinking they would be a better carrier.  Instead I have been verbally abused by customer service reps at my local store, and cannot terminate my contract without paying the fine ...

Pros: Good reception in specific coverage areas
Cons: Charged for all incoming text messaging w/no disable

This review is to address only one alarming fact about T-Mobile text messaging service and charges. I have family members that recently signed up for a family plan on T-Mobile and realized only too late that all text messages incur a fee. This fee is charge for ALL incoming text messages regardless of actual viewing and apparently there's no way to disable or turn-off text messaging. This means that with T-Mobile service you will be on the hook for anyone to send you a text message that will result in standard text charges each time and you have no control to stop or limit this activity.

It appears that with all other major carriers the text messaging feature can be disable and/or turned off, plus the user is only charged is they actually read the incoming text message. Calls to T-Mobile support has confirmed officially no way to turn off text messaging and therefore the charges. The attitude offered was that "it's just 10-cents a message" so no big deal.

Another lesson to always read the fine print I guess. But still seems deceptive and hopefully this will alert others considering T-Mobile.
