Zero warning. No texts, no emails, nothing. My phone just rebooted, and I had to go through the whole activation process with T-Mobile. Right in the middle of the work day. I'm absolutely furious with these assholes. They've handled this whole process terribly from the start.
I tried filling out the experience survey US Cellular has been nagging me about, because I wanted them to know how disappointed I am in their service since the merger. When it gets to the (presumably) last page where it asks you to either enter contact information or check the box that you don't want to be entered into the drawing, YOU CAN'T CHECK THE BOX. I don't want to fill out that form, because I know the information will be sold. The "cash" reward is likely a gift card for their service anyway. Something I don't plan to continue for much longer.
Whether it's intentional or not, this is just another indicator that US Cellular/T-Mobile have no real interest in what we think. Data service declined noticeably since the merger, then again after they did whatever they did with the towers.
