I HAVE AT&T BUT I FORGOT TO SAY I'M ON A FAMILY PLAN SO THAT MAKES MY SHIT ALOT CHEAPER... I WOULDNT BE PAYIN NO $80 BUCKS FOR STANDARD SHIT.
WHEN I MOVED OUT I WANTED MY OWN SHIT SO I WAS GONNA GET GHETRO OR BM... BUT MY MOM JUS SAID FUCK IT I COULD STAY ON HER PLAN. I SHOOT HER LIKE $60 A MONTH BUT I THINK ITS ACTUALLY CHEAPER THAN THAT CUZ SHE GETS A DISCOUNT THRU HER WORK SOMEHOW
I DONT THINK U HAVE TO BE A REAL "FAMILY" TO BE ON A FAMILY PLAN, I THINK ITS JUST 4 PEOPLE ON THE SAME SHIT. SO IF U CAN FIND 3 RELIABLE PEOPLE THEN U CAN SAVE HELLA MONEY, I THINK OTHER COMPANIES DO THAT TOO

Its really up to you guys. you will get a new phone that works for a while on 3g, and when they switch the internet over at&t said they will give you a "comparable" phone. So if you trust that they will give you a good one I would do it, but if not then don't. The good thing is legally they have to honor the terms of your t mobile contact which means unlimited internet and t mobile pricing until the contract is up. I would stay away from them afterwards because they are expensive.
Yes t mobile did piggy back off att towers but they used their own also. No matter what the phones will still make calls its only the internet thats affected.
I doubt they will buy out the contract.

he Department of Justice has extended its review of the AT&T proposal for its $39 billion dollar acquisition of T-Mobile due to requests for new information. This move could allow the Justice Department to extend it’s review of the proposed deal indefinitely.
Along with the request for more information, two unnamed sources said that antitrust authorities have sent “civil investigative demands” to competitors of the two carriers. These demands, which are best compared to a subpoena, inquire as to how the transaction would affect their business.
“This confirms that the government is going to do a deep dive into the transaction to understand what the implications are,” said Rebecca Arbogast, a Washington-based analyst with Stifel Nicolaus & Co.
While it is standard procedure under US antitrust law for regulators to issue second requests for more information, analysts alike agree that this deal poses a unique antitrust risk and regulators are carefully considering possible impacts of the deal passing.
T-Mobile and AT&T spokesman declined Bloomberg’s request for comment.

It's bad for the consumers when two major carriers join. I feel bad for the t-mobile users because they have pretty good plans (albeit less coverage) and will eventually have to submit to the higher prices to the likes of ATT and Verizon unless there is some game changer and the costs of voice drops.
It is a smart move for ATT though, the network is falling behind and this would be a very nice boost.
