T-Mobile's latest press release is a little different compared to what they normally do. The Uncarrier actually complimented some of AT&T's practices, instead of taking shots at the carrier. AT&T's latest move is to offer T-Mobile customers up to $450 to switch back to AT&T, which T-Mobile is celebrating as the “greatest T-Mobile trial offer in history.”
In the press release, T-Mobile “quotes” AT&T CEO Ralph de la Vega, saying AT&T finally stepped out from the dark side and dismantled the Death Star (seriously) to support to the Uncarrier consumer revolution. For the first time ever, AT&T decided to wake up and put the customer first, de la Vega “said.” The buyback program allowed AT&T customers to test out T-Mobile's network, since they could switch back if they were unhappy.
T-Mobile eventually confesses that de la Vega didn't actually say those things, and the press release was written firmly tongue-in-cheek, but the sentiment still stands. They're applauding AT&T for giving consumers the option of switching, and giving them more choices. I'm sure it won't be long before AT&T fires back with their own comments, so this year is sure to be interesting between these two carriers.
