Fwd: You have received a new OnePlus invitation

[Shawn Badger]

Mine is also on T-moblie, I haven't noticed any more dead spots than normal
but I haven't really traveled to much with it yet. The only thing I have
noticed odd on mine is that ican take some time for it to dail out via
Google Voice but otherwise it has been a solid platform.
