T-Mobile is hitting back at Verizon’s ‘Never settle’ ad campaign, offering to lend Verizon customers a new smartphone and port their existing number to it for a 14-day trial. If customers prefer T-Mobile’s service, the company will pay off Verizon’s Early Termination Fees up to a maximum of $650.
Any outstanding payments on your phone are also paid off, within the same overall limit, when customers choose to trade in their old phone for a new one on T-Mobile’s Simple Choice plan.
T-Mobile promises you won’t lose out if you choose to stay with Verizon. You always retain your existing phone, the carrier will refund any fees incurred on its own network and will pay any costs for switching back to Verizon.
The offer opens on 13th May, running until the end of the month. Visit t-mobile.com or one of the company’s retail stores between those dates for details. The company introduced crowd-sourced coverage maps back in March, extending its LTE data rollover deal to prepaid customers in the same month. Verizon cut most of its data plan prices by $10/month back in February.

What is tmobile complaining about? I live and work in its back yard and get no service in my office building? Was fine with att.
They say that they’ll pay any costs of switching back to Verizon, but what happens if you’re on a plan that’s not available anymore? I don’t know if that’s a thing in the U.S., but at least my carrier often has limited-time offers, which are only available to switch to for a certain period of time (which could be measured in days, weeks, months, etc), but once you’ve switched to them you can keep that package for a year (or sometimes even longer, depending on the package).
The only time I will ever consider switching to T-Mobile is:
1) when they improve and spread out their network
2) look at number 1
3) look at number 2
You understand where I am going at right? I cannot even catch a decent signal from them where I live so I switched to Cricket…the only thing I regret about Cricket is the 8 mb/s download speed for the mobile data. Not terrible but it could be better.
I have had T-Mobile sir, and you are no Verizon.
In densely populated areas I think that T-Mobile is an acceptable substitute if someone wants to save money but once you get away the story is quite different. When Google rolled out Fi I decided to go review the last few places I had to travel for work and several of them would have had no service outside of Wi-Fi and that is when using the combined coverage of T-Mobile and Sprint.
I currently have some co-workers and friends who have T-Mobile and they all say the same thing: “It’s not the best but I’m willing to put up with it for the price.”
