"Conversations like this one are what makes Twitter an amazing service.\r\n\r\nIf you considered switching your mobile operator in the past, you might chat with friends or family about it and then come to a decision. These days you can do more than that -- why not put out a tweet too... you might attract the attention of those very same operators, and even T-Mobile's CEO himself.\r\n\r\nThat's what happened to Jay Rooney, an AT&amp;amp;amp;T customer who was tempted by T-Mobile's free international roaming deal.\r\nJust found out that @tmobile doesn't charge extra for overseas data. What the hell am I still doing with @ATT?\r\n\r\n\u2014 Jay Rooney (@RamblingRooney) November 26, 2013\r\nA T-Mobile rep replies just seven minutes later:\r\n\r\n\r\n@RamblingRooney You know there is an alternative to old-school wireless carriers, right? It\u2019s called @TMobile, the #uncarrier ^ Lisa A \u2014 T-Mobile (@TMobile) November 26, 2013\r\n\r\n\r\n\u00A0That kicks off a battle for the customer as AT&amp;amp;amp;T responds:\r\n\r\n\r\n@RamblingRooney Resist the urge, Jay. We heard its dark, scary and no one can ever hear you. No one. \u2014 AT&amp;amp;amp;T (@ATT) November 26, 2013\r\n\r\n\r\nT-Mobile gets right to the point:\r\n\r\n\r\n@ATT Did your kindergarten panel write that for you? @RamblingRooney Global data at no extra charge vs. $$$$$$ #ItsNotComplicated \u2014 T-Mobile (@TMobile) November 26, 2013\r\n\r\n\r\nAT&amp;amp;amp;T replies, looking more than a little defeated:\r\n@RamblingRooney No gloves out over here, Jay. It's too close to the holidays to be so disgruntled. #HappyCarrier \u2014 AT&amp;amp;amp;T (@ATT) November 26, 2013\r\nBut lo and behold T-Mobile CEO John Legere steps into the fold:\r\n@TMobile @ATT @RamblingRooney @RamblingRooney bet @ATT\u2019s CEO isn\u2019t going to join the convo. Come join the #WirelessRevolution! #Uncarrier \u2014 John Legere (@JohnLegere) November 27, 2013\r\nAnd seals the deal:\r\n@JohnLegere You definitely caught my attention, good sir. Going to a @tmobile store to inquire tomorrow!\r\n\r\n\u2014 Jay Rooney (@RamblingRooney) November 27, 2013\r\nThat's a pretty good outcome from just one tweet:\r\nOh, snap - @ATT and @TMobile are totally duking it out on Twitter over me. This is awesome.\r\n\r\n\u2014 Jay Rooney (@RamblingRooney) November 26, 2013\r\nYou can read the full thread for yourself here.\r\n\r\nThumbnail image via West McGowan / Flickr\u00A0-- hat tip Koushik Dutta\r\n\r\n&amp;amp;nbsp;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
