T-Mobile has long been a distant fourth place competitor in the U.S. cellar market. While their pricing and various contracts have often trounced the competition (rather easily I’d add), the spotty coverage and generally less speedy (until recently) network has caused more and more people to look at AT&T, Sprint and Verizon for their data-loving tasks. Complicating T-Mobile’s stigma of an “underdog” was illustrated by their resistance to pursue...
The last few weeks has been a PR nightmare for AT&T. Customers that are still using grandfathered “unlimited” data plans have seen their allotment before throttling go as low as 1 GB — a slap in the face considering AT&T offers up to 3 GB tiers. Today AT&T announced that a much needed and welcome change is coming. For starters, all customers on 3G/HSPA devices will be able to use up to 3 GB before getting throttled regardless of where they...
In a world where up to 5 people can now be toting a mini-computer in their pockets, paying an extra ~$150/month in data plan fees alone is insane as much as it is ridiculous.

VZW (and AT&T) have voiced interest in family data plans over the past year, though this year at Mobile World Congress VZW opened up a bit more (just a bit). CFO Fran Shammo stated that VZW’s family...

AT&T and T-Mobile certainly got some lovin’ from HTC at MWC this year. The One X, S and V smartphones each feature some pretty compelling features (hardware and software) that are sure to be a hit with customers once the devices hit later this year. But as is standard in the global mobile market, CDMA takes a backseat to the festivities. Such is the life of Sprint, an underdog in terms of raw subscribers and a technological ugly duckling. But there is hope....
