T-Mobile out of luck in Nebraska

Uh oh. It appears that T-Mobile is offering prepaid service in Nebraska…even though they were never issued any local numbers. We’re not sure why, but it could have something to do with the state having only two area codes. Surely the state must be wary of doling out numbers, lest they add a third code (though we’re not sure how many free numbers currently exist). While this won’t affect mobile-to-mobile calls, Nebraskans calling their neighbors’ cell phones from a landline will be charged long distance. So let’s pick: Either T-Mobile doesn’t offer service in Nebraska, or the state issues them local numbers. [Action 3 News]]]>
