Anyone on T-Mobile currently with any qualms or dissatisfaction?
Coverage? 5G coverage? Billing issues?
I have been with them for about 4 years now. Upgraded to 5G about a year ago. There are a few spots where coverage drops, like out toward Harris Lake, but generally the coverage is very good.
They also have some perks, such as a free year of AAA, Apple TV, Paramount+ and MLB. They also offer free NetFlix, but not with the plan we are on (55+, 2 phones for $70/month, unlimited everything in US).

Hang onto that plan. They are telling me $90/month for the 55+. Still, better than ATT can offer me.
ETA:
Correction. I am looking at the MAX plan, because I will need a new 5G phone to take advantage.

I'll note that coverage got MUCH better after I got a phone which includes Band 71. https://www.pcmag.com/news/heres-whe...obile-coverage
Used to have a solid dead zone along 85 north at the NC/VA border, but last week was able to get through (as a passenger) with only a few minutes of lost connectivity.
Not every LTE/5G phone can transmit over Band 71, so check specifications carefully before getting an unlocked phone from a third-party dealer. (GSMArena and Band71 list bands, as do manufacturer tech specs.)
I had T-Mobile until I got into RE....mostly because it was cheap (was still on my parents plan!)....But I had to switch to Verizon a few months in. Too many dropped calls/lack of enough signal to open apps "out in the field" (try opening showingtime when you don't have signal!)
From what I've heard; T-Mobile coverage around here has gotten better since then (this was 4 years ago).
T-Mobile coverage is fine in the Triangle but if you have to go into rural NC at all, it's definitely still very spotty.
I had Mint Mobile last year and didn't notice any issues around here when in Raleigh/Durham/Cary/Chapel Hill.
