"When does merging two companies make for more marketplace competition? When they aren't big enough to compete with the other giants in the industry. At least that's the logic behind the argument that Sprint should be allowed to acquire T-Mobile. I'm wondering what this means for MetroPCS users like me now that we're T-Mobile users by the previous merger."

    T-mobile is one of the biggest providers of not locking users into contracts.

    I had a Sprint PCS phone in 2000, and once they started promoting their "evenings and weekends" deal, the network became all but inaccessible. I got constant "system busy" messages trying to dial out.

    When I called Sprint to address the lack of service, they basically told me to live with it. They weren't going to change anything. So, I told them to cancel my contract. They told me I'd have to pay an early termination fee. I told them to stuff it, since they broke the contract first by not providing the service I was paying for.

    So they referred me to a collection agency.

    I swore then that I would never do business with those sons of bitches again, and if they buy T-Mobile, I would hate to give up my iPhone 4s which I waited so long for T-Mobile to support. Hope it doesn't happen soon.
