For the second time in two weeks T-Mobile has announced taking the top spot in a JD Power survey, this time for highest ranking in retail customer satisfaction. This is the third time T-Mobile has taken this award and I can certainly say that every time I jump into a T-Mobile store, the staff almost always impresses me. Congrats Magenta, now lets talk HSPA+ devices rolling out mmmkay?

Most important, it reflects our continued success delivering an industry-leading service experience our customers and their families depend on.”

Today’s honor from J.D. Power and Associates is the latest accolade demonstrating that T-Mobile continues to set the standard for retail sales satisfaction in the wireless industry.
