Since the announcement of the merger between AT&T and T-Mobile last week, it would be not be good news to cell phone users. I have been using T-Mobile for the past four years and like their data plans. I rarely use voice minutes. Even though T-Mobile's cell phones were not the best, they offered the best data plans. Tethering has been a plus on TMO. I've had the HD2 when it first came out and I've been using it as a modem for my laptop. In addition, their family plans allow my kids to get access to the Internet and YouTube at a cheaper price than with other carriers.
