As "T-Mobile" already suggested asked them to "bring it on". They cannot do shit about it. They are just trying to scare you.. and here's why they cannot do shit about it..you can counter sue them as well. 

These are the main points from a article I found:

 In order to be considered valid, a non-competition agreement must: 

  Protect a legitimate business interest of the employer
-- trust me my friend, court will see what is the legitimate business interest? ". Just because they can't make money out of you anymore doesn't consider as a "legitimate business interest".

Non-competition agreements must generally be supported by valid consideration -- the employee must receive something of value in exchange for the promise to refrain from competition

--- Did you receive any thing of value ?? But when an employer asks an employee to sign a non-compete agreement after starting employment and there is no extra payment or benefit to the employee for signing it, then almost all courts will invalidate the agreement for lack of consideration.

Mos non-competent agreements are unenforceable.
