TMobile do not currently plan to offer 3G data in the USA! Below is the transcript of a conversation I had with a tmobile tech. The key part is this: Edward: Ok so to summarise you are not using the spectrum at present, you will be using it but only for voice and you can't tell me when that will be and on what devices. Is that accurate? DavidD2745643: That is correct. That is all the information we have been provided.
DavidD2745643 has entered the session. Edward: When can we expect UMTS/HSPDA 3G service in the USA? DavidD2745643: Thank you for contacting T-Mobile. Now we regrettably do not have any time frame when 3G services would be fully implemented in our system. We would really appreciate if you check our website from time to time for further updates. Edward: thanks, i guess. Given that you got all that spectrum last year it seems a shame that you are not using it! DavidD2745643: It is currently being used but only to enhance voices services, at this time. Edward: Not true your GSM phones cannot access the frequencies that you purchased and you hav no UMTS phones at rpresent DavidD2745643: Sorry not for our current phones, but for phones that are soon to be released. Edward: Ok which and when then? DavidD2745643: I am very sorry I do not have the exact model. Edward: So what was your source for the information that you gave me about planned phones? DavidD2745643: My source is my internal news database. Edward: Ok so to summarise you are not using the spectrum at present, you will be using it but only for voice and you can't tell me when that will be and on what devices. Is that accurate? DavidD2745643: That is correct. That is all the information we have been provided. Edward: OK thanks. Not much help but t is not your fault. DavidD2745643: Thank you for choosing T-Mobile. We appreciate your business. Have a great day!
