Rock Island Announces T-Mobile Retail Store

Friday, June 30, 12 – 5 p.m., Rock Island Retail Store, 345 Court Street, Friday Harbor

— from Rock Island —

We’re taking over the street out front of our store to celebrate. We will have food, drinks, prizes and music! Please join us for this fun-filled celebration!

Why open a T-Mobile store, you might ask? To get a cell phone in your hands that works.

It’s a number and location game when it comes to cell coverage, and we can confidently tell you that the T-Mobile sites that Rock Island has been installing over the past year are in the best places in the county to give us all coverage. Compare that to the other carriers here in the islands

• Verizon has 4 cell sites in the county
• Sprint has 4 cell site in the county
• AT&T has 4 cell sites in the county
• T-Mobile currently has 31 sites online in the county, and will be expanding to 40 by the end of the year

People don’t generally know why they don’t get good cell coverage in San Juan County – in their homes, in our towns, or on our roads. We just know that cell phones generally don’t work out here in the islands. It’s been a sad and frustrating part of life out here, and we have grown to accept it.

We’ll those days are over! With T-Mobile, now you can ferry from Anacortes to Friday Harbor without dropping a call. You can also drive all over all of our islands with notable coverage. People are getting connectivity in their homes, cars and boats like never before. This is change in a major way, and now it’s time to get connected.

What’s even better is that T-Mobile is an amazing company. They have been sweeping the nation in a flat-out land grab for customers and are vying for the number one position currently held by Verizon. They have the more generous plans and better pricing, and there are never any contracts to bind you up for years. Some of the key advantages we find with T-Mobile are:

• Unlimited Data
• Unlimited North America calling – no Canadian roaming
• No contracts; No hidden fees
• Great small business plans
• All taxes and fees included for one low price
• And it’s the only one that really works in San Juan County
