JD Power and Associates needs to simply call this award the T-Mobile award. T-Mobile just won the Wireless Retail Customer Satisfaction category for the 8th time in the last 11 studies since 2004. In a nutshell T-Mobile always wins by having the nicest sales staff and the best prices/promotions. The price is a no brainer since T-Mobile is the low cost carrier. The thing I always liked about T-Mobile is that their customer service call center is open 24 hours a day compared to AT&T which closes every night. UPDATE: Thanks to BlackBerry_Junkie for letting me know that T-Mobile Customer Service is no longer open 24/7.
I am kind of curious. How do you find your carriers customer service staff?
