Verizon's CDMA and t-mobile's gsm they work completly differnently they wouldn't eliminate coverage problems and it would cost a ridiculous amount of money and time to find a way so they could work together. And 2 if they chose to operate together without using each other for coverage one isn't designed for this type person and that type of person they're targeted at the same audiences. Sprextel's different because the seperate networks target different audinces, so they can't (yet) use each other for roaming they can join their profits because they can now target many different audiences in one company. They join with cingular, because they can use each other to elimante off site cell usage, and the can have a even catchier slogan "Even More bars, Even more minutes>'

It seems like everyone has merged... except T-Mobile. Maybe a Cingular / T-Mobile deal could be worked out... that would rock.

They merged because they were afraid of the competition.  I think these are the mergers from the companies that did.
Sprint/Nextel
Cingular/AT&T
Verizon/MCI

why is everyone hoping for mergers? it is the worst possible thing for consumers to eliminate the competition. look at windows. dont you think that if there were 3 other companies that each had 10-20% of the market microsoft would be making even slightly better products?
its time to go back to HS ecomonics. competition is good for consumers; monopolies are bad for consumers, and only good for the 1 huge corporation

I have been a T Mobile Customer for 3 years now. And I am VERY satisfied with their Service not to mention their Customer Service. I was with Cingular for over 7 years, VERY DISSAPOINTED with them. I hope T Mobile stays by themselves, but, in a world of merger, You never know.

I was the first of my friends to get T-mobile.
I liked it so much (prices and service) that I recomended it to everyone I know. I actually made 7 people in 4 households open accounts with T-mobile  from AT$T and Cingular.
Go T-M go!

I could see T-Mobile merging with Cingular first before Verizon based on the GSM technology. But currently T-Mobile wouldn't probably sell to Cingular. It would cool if Cingular and T-Mobile merged, then Cingular might get some cool phones like the Pebl and Sidekick. But I think a merger like that would take a little persuasion from the government.

this isn't actually true, but still a common misconception that different networks can't actually use one another. companies (through capitalism) have simply built these names, under building these networks. they can work together... they just won't.
a clear-cut example would be the most recent agreement set by Alltel last week. it was after such Alltel suddenly made their network the largest one. CDMA voice, data and EV-DO high-speed mobile data allows Sprint to use Alltel's towers and Cingular to use Alltel's. This is all while Alltel uses them both, even though Sprint and Cingular are two different networks.
(you can actually read about it on this site)

Cingular and T-Mobile are the only GSM carriers in the U.S., so if one were looking to merge, that would be the only choice.

Suncom (Triton PCS) is actually a seperate, publically traded company - they used to be an affiliate of AT&T Wireless, but that agreement ended with the buyout by Cingular.

Hey Steve, I think T-Mobile was in fact merger, used to be Voicestream and then something else.. They had a lot of strange region plans, like you could have no ld/roaming in say 3 states... Anyway, pretty sure it is a merger company though the are owned by Duetsch telecom. which is apparently a pretty profitable company, probably pays them to own TMobile so their international customers can have service when they are traveling in US..TMobile seems to have alot of international customers..

SunCom is it's own company. As part of the AT&T/Cingular merger Suncom became it's own regional provider in NC,SC, Puerto Rico, part of GA, and TN. SunCom works off of some Cingular towers through roaming agreements, but it is it's own company.

In my opinion, things are looking up for tmobile. As we all know they acquired a lot of spectrum and are beginning to plan on implementing it as early as mid 2007. Also for the guy who says every one of his calls dropped after 10 minutes, I find that hard to believe. When you called tmo customer care, what was the reason they gave about your service (or your phone) dropping calls every ten minutes?
