        <content>I live in Canada, but have a T-Mobile line only for Blackberry. I pay $49.99 for unlimited data plus $29.99 for Unlimited International Roaming. I've been with T-mobile for 2 years and really love their service. Always someone there to answer any questions you may have.

        <content>I have a plan with two phones, I only need one phone. 
Can I transfer to a one phone line with a cheaper amount? 
 
I would like to ask: How can your Co. state that customer can termination service without a fee. This is what I heard on a news report, But when I call to comfirm it was only for California resident?</content>

        <content>Well "Unhappy Customer", I'm sorry that you're having the issues you are. No, I've no connection to T-Mobile other than being a customer.

The website is &lt;a href="http://www.t-mobile.com/"&gt;www.t-mobile.com&lt;/a&gt; and there is a login to "My T-Mobile" in the top section of the website.  You can access your account information there.

Did you call T-Mobile's customer support by dialing 611 on your mobile phone?  It's a free call, and they would be able to walk you through all the steps necessary if you're not familiar with the process.

Boy, would I like to get paid for recommending T-Mobile, but all my praise was earned by the company through good service and consistently meeting my expectations.  While your mileage may vary, I've had good experience with them.

I do have criticisms of the company, however, and it's mainly related to their woefully inadequate 3G (or high-speed data) service.  Way too long in being announced, at least 2 years behind everyone - and I'm being generous in that.

As for your experience, I would call T-Mobile and see if they can help you find what you're looking for. Shouting here isn't going to solve the problem for you.

Good luck!

        <content>Ok. I hear how happy you are to have t-moblie. Are you an employee with an inside connection? I am not an employee so I do not have to pretend to love my service. All I am trying to do is find the website to view my account. I have been searching for an hour now. I followed the automated instructions and entered in the website. A million sites come up with mostly unsatisfied comments and horrer stories. I have been fortunate that I have had a positive experience until now. I would like to view my account to see why my bill has been $50.00 more than it should be for the last 5 months. I cant get connected to a live represenative to interpret the bill for me so I followed the instructions to go to the T-Mobile website. WHERE IS IT???????????????? I hope this is not the customer service they were awarded the JD Power award for. I suppose there are no complaints on record if us UNHAPPY customers cant even get a hold of someone to complain. Thats what I call cooking the books. Beware JD Power, we are beginning to believe they paid you off to win the award.......</content>

        <content>I like your words and your style. As far as I am concerned, any piece of writing that has these qualities is worth reading, apart from the 'talk' of the text.

If what you write is enjoyable to you, you will find readers who are meant for your writing. It is a fact that blabbering is more prevalent than meaningful writing. But, man, world is not perfect. This is how it is! 

Regarding losing focus - I must say that is the biggest drain in any productive activity. But, I know, still you are in control!

Good luck!</content>

        <content>Bill, from what I've heard, the 3G launch is sometime in 1st quarter of 2008.  There was some hubbub earlier this month suggesting that Tmo was going to make an announcement on their 3G service, but it didn't come about.

Hopefully, their 3G network will be turned on soon - I think we've all been extremely patient waiting for it.  I'm curious what Windows Mobile 3G unit's they'll have when they launch.  I need to replace my &lt;a href="http://rickmahn.com/t-mobile-mda/"&gt;MDA&lt;/a&gt;.</content>

        <content>I also have T-Mobile services, and like you have found their service to be unmatched.  I use their $5.99 T-Mobile Web (T-Zones) and though it isn't the fastest of services around, for the money, it is just fine.  I purchased a HTC 8525 (unlocked) and put my SIM in and it works just fine.  The reason I bought this particular phone is because it is 3G enabled already; I anticipate that T-Mobile will offer 3G at some time in the future.  Do you know when they are planning on this upgrade to their service?</content>

        <content>It's pretty interesting to continue to see the "after effects" of Jeremiah's post last week.  As I've mentioned it's been really great to find so many great people to interact with on Twitter - and their blogs.  That's what I'm finding now that I have some time to start exploring their profiles and finding links to their sites.

Thanks for stopping by Jeremiah!</content>

        <content>Jon, Steve,
I really appreciate your words - they have meaning and do put into focus what I need to think and do.

I thought I had been through this portion of blogging a year or two ago, and really "found myself" this past summer.  What I have found is that I seem to be overthinking things and need to back up a little bit.

Jon, you've got a great point about writing 'drafts' and coming back to them later.  I've started and abandoned several posts in the last few weeks because of silly reasons.  Whether I do revisit them isn't important, but making the effort to write is.

Steve, you've hit on one of the things that really bothers me right now.  All the meme-chasing that goes on.  Sometimes I feel like writing about these just because everyone else is.  However, when you think some of these through, I just seem to be regurgitating someone else's opinion.

I thank you both.

        <content>Rick I have that nagging question of &lt;i&gt;am I adding value&lt;/i&gt; a lot especially after you write what you think is a good post and it just seems to sit there like a dead fish while I see posts of &lt;i&gt;me-ism&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;ooo let's all pile on a TechCrunch post and get points for it&lt;/i&gt; flashing all over the tech blogosphere.

It can be disheartening to say the least and all I can say is I find value in what you write and when you write it. This isn't a panecea for the &lt;i&gt;blahness&lt;/i&gt; you are going through - it is just more of a pat on the shoulder and an encouraging word or two to try and help you through this period.

Keep up the good writing - there are folks out there reading.</content>

        <content>So Rick. Just write the drafts and publish them. Then you can go back and rewrite them for your book in a couple years. In the meantime, we can hear your thinking and interact with it and it can be like a conversation. 

I understand the stage fright...that's a great image. But i decided a while ago that though I often don't think what i'm saying is that good (my 2.0 friends post as a case in point), I don't need to decide that. I just need to write. 

You do to.

        <content>Hi Rick, I'm honoured.  Thank you, not least for the way you describe what's important to you in a blogroll.  (And I'm smiling, because it was your thinking about how you manage your blogrolls that brought me here in the first place, I think)

Enjoy the cherished holiday

        <content>I live in Canada, but have a T-Mobile line only for Blackberry. I pay $49.99 for unlimited data plus $29.99 for Unlimited International Roaming. I've been with T-mobile for 2 years and really love their service. Always someone there to answer any questions you may have.

Can I transfer to a one phone line with a cheaper amount?

        <content>Well "Unhappy Customer", I'm sorry that you're having the issues you are. No, I've no connection to T-Mobile other than being a customer.

The website is &lt;a href="http://www.t-mobile.com/"&gt;www.t-mobile.com&lt;/a&gt; and there is a login to "My T-Mobile" in the top section of the website.  You can access your account information there.

Did you call T-Mobile's customer support by dialing 611 on your mobile phone?  It's a free call, and they would be able to walk you through all the steps necessary if you're not familiar with the process.

Boy, would I like to get paid for recommending T-Mobile, but all my praise was earned by the company through good service and consistently meeting my expectations.  While your mileage may vary, I've had good experience with them.

I do have criticisms of the company, however, and it's mainly related to their woefully inadequate 3G (or high-speed data) service.  Way too long in being announced, at least 2 years behind everyone - and I'm being generous in that.

As for your experience, I would call T-Mobile and see if they can help you find what you're looking for. Shouting here isn't going to solve the problem for you.

Good luck!

        <content>Ok. I hear how happy you are to have t-moblie. Are you an employee with an inside connection? I am not an employee so I do not have to pretend to love my service. All I am trying to do is find the website to view my account. I have been searching for an hour now. I followed the automated instructions and entered in the website. A million sites come up with mostly unsatisfied comments and horrer stories. I have been fortunate that I have had a positive experience until now. I would like to view my account to see why my bill has been $50.00 more than it should be for the last 5 months. I cant get connected to a live represenative to interpret the bill for me so I followed the instructions to go to the T-Mobile website. WHERE IS IT???????????????? I hope this is not the customer service they were awarded the JD Power award for. I suppose there are no complaints on record if us UNHAPPY customers cant even get a hold of someone to complain. Thats what I call cooking the books. Beware JD Power, we are beginning to believe they paid you off to win the award.......</content>

        <content>I like your words and your style. As far as I am concerned, any piece of writing that has these qualities is worth reading, apart from the 'talk' of the text.

If what you write is enjoyable to you, you will find readers who are meant for your writing. It is a fact that blabbering is more prevalent than meaningful writing. But, man, world is not perfect. This is how it is! 

Regarding losing focus - I must say that is the biggest drain in any productive activity. But, I know, still you are in control!

Good luck!</content>

        <content>Bill, from what I've heard, the 3G launch is sometime in 1st quarter of 2008.  There was some hubbub earlier this month suggesting that Tmo was going to make an announcement on their 3G service, but it didn't come about.

Hopefully, their 3G network will be turned on soon - I think we've all been extremely patient waiting for it.  I'm curious what Windows Mobile 3G unit's they'll have when they launch.  I need to replace my &lt;a href="http://rickmahn.com/t-mobile-mda/"&gt;MDA&lt;/a&gt;.</content>

        <content>I also have T-Mobile services, and like you have found their service to be unmatched.  I use their $5.99 T-Mobile Web (T-Zones) and though it isn't the fastest of services around, for the money, it is just fine.  I purchased a HTC 8525 (unlocked) and put my SIM in and it works just fine.  The reason I bought this particular phone is because it is 3G enabled already; I anticipate that T-Mobile will offer 3G at some time in the future.  Do you know when they are planning on this upgrade to their service?</content>

        <content>It's pretty interesting to continue to see the "after effects" of Jeremiah's post last week.  As I've mentioned it's been really great to find so many great people to interact with on Twitter - and their blogs.  That's what I'm finding now that I have some time to start exploring their profiles and finding links to their sites.

Thanks for stopping by Jeremiah!</content>

        <content>Jon, Steve,
I really appreciate your words - they have meaning and do put into focus what I need to think and do.

I thought I had been through this portion of blogging a year or two ago, and really "found myself" this past summer.  What I have found is that I seem to be overthinking things and need to back up a little bit.

Jon, you've got a great point about writing 'drafts' and coming back to them later.  I've started and abandoned several posts in the last few weeks because of silly reasons.  Whether I do revisit them isn't important, but making the effort to write is.

Steve, you've hit on one of the things that really bothers me right now.  All the meme-chasing that goes on.  Sometimes I feel like writing about these just because everyone else is.  However, when you think some of these through, I just seem to be regurgitating someone else's opinion.

I thank you both.

        <content>Rick I have that nagging question of &lt;i&gt;am I adding value&lt;/i&gt; a lot especially after you write what you think is a good post and it just seems to sit there like a dead fish while I see posts of &lt;i&gt;me-ism&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;ooo let's all pile on a TechCrunch post and get points for it&lt;/i&gt; flashing all over the tech blogosphere.

It can be disheartening to say the least and all I can say is I find value in what you write and when you write it. This isn't a panecea for the &lt;i&gt;blahness&lt;/i&gt; you are going through - it is just more of a pat on the shoulder and an encouraging word or two to try and help you through this period.

Keep up the good writing - there are folks out there reading.</content>

        <content>So Rick. Just write the drafts and publish them. Then you can go back and rewrite them for your book in a couple years. In the meantime, we can hear your thinking and interact with it and it can be like a conversation. 

I understand the stage fright...that's a great image. But i decided a while ago that though I often don't think what i'm saying is that good (my 2.0 friends post as a case in point), I don't need to decide that. I just need to write. 

You do to.

        <content>Hi Rick, I'm honoured.  Thank you, not least for the way you describe what's important to you in a blogroll.  (And I'm smiling, because it was your thinking about how you manage your blogrolls that brought me here in the first place, I think)

Enjoy the cherished holiday
