When the old guard carriers refused to eliminate this archaic practice, John went to social media to see what sort of message he should send to really get their attention. After polling his followers, skywriting was the clear medium of choice.    Broll and still shots from Basking Ridge are now available on the T‑Mobile [Newsroom](https://newsroom.t-mobile.com/).   __About T‑Mobile US, Inc__.: As America's Un-carrier, T‑Mobile US, Inc.
