  I'm going to go cry in the corner at that thought.

  I am going to travel to tmo_lauren's hometown, climb in through her window, find her in that corner, and give her a handkerchief. <3

   

  In all seriousness, thank you for the congratulations rbob!  In case these new folks flock to Support, I formally nominate you as our one-man welcoming committee.  Are you up for it?

   

  - Marissa

    Not a good idea. I'm several points beyond curmudgeon, nearly scoring as misanthrope.

     

    But I am happy with my T-Mobile service, so there's that.

  Imagine if they all started using this forum.

  If you have you ever visited the VZW forum, that's kind of what it would be like.

    I was actually a Verizon customer, sort of. Back in the mid 90s, I was with AirTouch, being marketed by US West New Vector here in Minnesota. Very early adopter; my cell number was 612-AIR-Txxx.

     

    After a few mergers, it turned in to Verizon, but I was long gone by then.

      I started off with Cellular One, to Alltel (CDMA), and then to Verizon after AT&T acquired the divested portion of my state and had a mess of converting the area to GSM. (Verizon got the other half of Alltel in my state.)  I stayed VZW until I came to T-Mobile.

       

      Suffice to say....in my time on that forum I saw literally 10 times more posts per the same amount of time that I do here.  People must be happier here with fewer issues.  The VZW CLs, CMs, and SS Comm members moderate a lot of posts before they get to the rest of the forum, so you can imagine there are 15 times more in reality.

       

      I can refresh a page and each time see 2-3 new posts.  On T-Mo, I have to wait 1 hour to see 3 new posts.

      Well, we're definitely glad to have you with us rbob and thanks so much for giving T-Mobile such an awesome shout out! I think it would be fantastic if a bunch of those folks all came to support. I'm just thinking about all the folks that can come here for help or share what they know with others. Plus, we have some fun threads here if people want to just hang out and join in.
