[QUOTE="gingerkat, post: 1188515, member: 43502"] This is actually incorrect. All carriers have the capability to use another's towers, they just have to pay for it. A good example is when you're roaming and your company has no towers in the area, they just "borrow" the tower. The major difference between companies is if they are GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) or CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access). There is another one, but it isn't used much. Verizon, Sprint & Virgin are the major companies using CDMA technology. This means, when you leave and want to go to AT & T, you won't be able to bring your phone over. CDMA and GSM networks/phones are not compatible. If you want to keep your existing phones, stay in a network that is GSM. If you want to go to TMobile here is the number (800) 937-8997 and just ask a lot of questions. [/QUOTE]
