My brother-in-law uses T-mobile for years, and likes it very much. It uses a different technical standard from other cell-phones (named GSM), so you cannot just take a phone designed for the other standards here in the U.S. to T-mobile and have it work, you must use a pone designed for GSM. One nice thing about GSM phones is that all the info you have (your phone number, your list of contacts, etc.) is kept on a little card in the phone. If you remove this card and put it into another GSM phone, that phone instantly has the phone number you were using, all your contacts, etc. GSM isn't anywhere nearly as popular as the Sprint standard (called CDMA) or the AT&T standard (which I forget the name of just this second), but perhaps it will be, who knows. I believe T-mobile offers a pay-as-you go type of arrangement with no long-term contract. They also offer the cheap pay-as-you-phones similar to track phones or virgin mobile phones, and I believe you can set it up so you only have to add money to the account once a year.
