It's not so much the convenience as the problems other carriers bring. T-Mobile has no security, and lousy coverage, and is technically incompetent, but they're fairly honest and customer-friendly.

I could tell a horror story from Verizon about a multi-thousand-dollar roaming bill from someone I knew, from Google about being completely locked out of a phone number forever from another person, and lots of others.

Pick your liability.

On the whole, I found the risk of data theft from T-Mobile to be the lesser of the evils.

TMobile actually has good coverage now. Since the Sprint merger they have started rolling out 5g 600mhz on the old Nextel network. I'm in a rural area and as of last year I can get 90mbps down with TMobile. Verizon and ATT are like 5 and get swamped on weekends.
