They still have flip phones?

I'm all for the avian finger. I don't even care what the context is.

When it comes to huge kajillionaire corporations, whatever can be done to shiat on their pretentious, greedy, grasping hands, I'm on board.

As a T-mobile user, this is fantastic news. I've been holding off on signing a new contract in case AT&T came in and gutted everything. If it doesn't happen I can finally get a new phone. Woo.

So my wife's At&t stock that she's had since the 80s is worth something?

I need to know this because I'm trying to start a fire in the fireplace.

I worked for the call center that handled the Alltel and Verizon merger (which later became an Alltel to ATT merger with the spin-off entities). Be thankful you didn't go through this crap. Mergers SUCK. I dealt with four different companies during this merger (Alltel, Verizon, ATNI, and ATT) and ATT just did not have their shiat together. They failed, and failed hard.

You could make the excuse that by going through one large merger would prepare them for another - but you gotta realize this merger took place over a 12 month period. It was done in phases. They didn't learn anything from the first phase in the first month and still managed to find new ways of screwing up while not fixing their original problems 12 months down the road. Their incompetence was something to behold. If you could bottle it, and sell it, it just might be enough stupidity to be considered weapons grade retardation.

Add me to the list of T-Mobile customers who are glad it was blocked.

Gutted everything? T-Mo was a shell as it was so I dont know how it can be gutted further, well except for all the layoffs that are going to happen if the merger does die.

And good bye sprint and metroPCS along with a few others if it does get dropped since T-Mo will use the money ATT has to give them as a break up fee to steal all their pre-paid customers, which is what has been sustaining sprint for a long time. I also fail to see why T-mo customers are happy, I used to have them and they sucked outside of major areas with shiat quality and shiatty phones.

Because it gives me the cheapest unlimited data (old contract. Real unlimited) messaging and more than enough minutes. In exchange for this cheapest price I have 1) coverage everywhere I want it and 2) the phone I wanted the most at the time I got my last phone (as well as can get the phone I want most right now.)

Man, best price, the coverage I need, AND the phone I want. What a terrible deal! Getting the worst customer service sounds like a MUCH better plan.

No, I don't get coverage everywhere, but I don't really give a fark if I'm not getting coverage in Ohio or whatever other shiathole.
