Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G hits T-Mobile for $150 in March
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungT-MobileGalaxy S Blaze 4G
The Samsung Galaxy S Blaze, first teased in early January has been confirmed by T-Mobile to be landing on the network in ‘late March’ for $150 on a two-year contract after a $50 mail-in rebate is applied. The device is powered by a dual-core Snapdragon S3 processor clocked at 1.5GHz. It supports 42Mbps HSPA+ speeds, which T-Mobile claims is faster than the average home Internet2 broadband connected to a home.
The Galaxy S Blaze centers on a 4-inch Super AMOLED display and sports a 5-megapixel rear camera that shoots video at up to 720p, with a 1.3 front-facing camera for video chatting. While it boats a respectable set of hardware specs, the only real disappointment for users is that it will...

T-Mobile speaks out against Verizon's planned spectrum acquisitions
Like UnlikeFiled in: Verizon WirelessT-Mobile
T-Mobile has filed a complaint with the Federal Communications Commission urging the committee to block the proposed acquisition of spectrum holdings from cable companies by Verizon Wireless. T-Mobile contends that the acquisitions would concentrate too much spectrum in Verizon's hands. Verizon announced its intent to purchase $3.6 billion worth of spectrum licenses from Comcast Corp., Time Warner Cable Inc., Bright House Networks, and Cox Communications last year.

Deutsche Telekom may drop T-Mobile UK after failed AT&T deal
Like UnlikeFiled in: T-MobileAT&T
T-Mobile's parent company Deutsche Telekom may be looking to offload T-Mobile UK after AT&T dropped its bid for T-Mobile USA, insiders asserted Wednesday. Tips to Bloomberg had it in the early phases of considering a British "exit" now that AT&T's $39 billion proposal had been deemed anti-competitive. The choices could include anything from letting Orange UK take over the other half of the Everything Everywhere partnership to an outside company.

T-Mobile updates FamilyWhere location tracking service for worrisome parents
Like UnlikeFiled in: T-Mobile
It was never intended as such, but The Rolling Stones' song Under My Thumb could easily pass as the anthem of overbearing parents across the globe. Now, T-Mobile is tossing its paranoid constituents a bone with an updated version of its FamilyWhere lineup. First onto the platform is FamilyWhere Check In, a free app that lets kids manually send their location to family members, which is delivered as a web link within a text message. The carrier's more robust application, known as FamilyWhere Locate, is a $10/mo subscription service that automatically provides location tracking for up to ten devices. Here, doting parents (and untrusting spouses) can keep tabs on their family via a web browser ...

T-Mobile shaves $10 off the Lumia 710, Microsoft sells it for $0
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesNOKIAT-MobileLumia 710
T-Mobile launched the Lumia 710 for $50 on the 11th of January for $49.99 with a two year contract. Three weeks later, that price is now down to $39.99. Microsoft, who apparently has an online store that this author had no idea even existed, is also now selling the Lumia 710 … for free. That’s right, they’re giving it away with a two year contract. Earlier today we also saw a tweet from Eldar Murtazin, Editor in Chief of Mobile-Review, saying that the Lumia 710 is on sale in Russia for 9890 rubles ($325). That’s down nearly 27% compared to the 13,490 ruble price tag the device had when it launched in Russia on December 15th. Notice a trend? It’s bad enough Nokia wasn’t forthcoming about how ...

'Truly unlimited' data plan announced by T-Mobile
Like UnlikeFiled in: T-Mobile
T-Mobile has announced the first 'truly unlimited' data plan of its kind in the UK, with the Full Monty tariff offering consumers unlimited calls, texts and internet for £36 per month.
As the plan is completely unlimited, it includes data intensive activities such as streaming video and tethering your phone to other devices – allowing your additional device to access the internet via the mobile phone network.
The Full Monty tariff is set to launch on 1 February and will be available with all the handsets in the current T-Mobile range. Its main aim, according to T-Mobile, is to help consumers switch to the smartphone market without having to think twice about additional charges.

T-Mobile UK introduces The Full Monty plan with unlimited everything
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesT-Mobile
T-Mobile's UK arm announced a new plan for subscribers today that is said to be the first plan to offer truly unlimited services in the UK. The U.S. carriers have been peddling unlimited plans for a number of years now, but unlimited options have not been available in the UK until now.
Called the very British-appropriate Full Monty Plan, T-Mobile's new offering includes unlimited calling, text messaging, and internet use without any "fair use" restrictions. There are four tiers for customers to chose from, starting at 36GBP per month and going on up to 61GBP per month (the lowest tier offers unlimited in-network calling, but out of network calling is capped at 2,000 minutes). The higher tier...

T-Mobile to tighten the purse strings, limit data roaming starting April 5th
Like UnlikeFiled in: T-Mobile
We've just come across an internal T-Mobile memo that will certainly give a few customers a moment of pause: come April 5th, it seems the carrier will impose new, restrictive limits that affect data usage when roaming. Hot on the heels of the network's roaming pact with AT&T, the change would restrict subscribers to a fixed allotment of roaming data that's proportionate to their current data plan. While most customers are unlikely to notice the change, it's almost certain that some will be left out in the cold. Once the roaming limit is met, users will be unable to consume any additional data on non-Magenta networks until the start of a new billing cycle. T-Mobile suggests the move is in eff...

It is the end of January and this time every year, carriers' thoughts start turning to making room on the shelves for the new batch of handsets that are coming. With MWC less than a month away, and a new batch of the most-up-to date models about to be displayed, TmoNews has obtained a leaked screenshot of an internal T-Mobile document. The document shows some devices on Controlled Distribution with no plans to replenish depleted inventories of these phones. The half-dozen Android models include three models manufactured by HTC which might actually get a little more time considering that the carrier continues to advertise some of them. The remaining three LG models are ones that not too many ...

Samsung Galaxy Nexus coming to T-Mobile?
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungT-MobileGALAXY Nexus
The Samsung Galaxy Nexus is not only the first handset running on Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, but many also consider it to be simply the best Android device made so far and that’s why the possibility of it arriving on T-Mobile sounds particularly exciting. The Galaxy Nexus is already available on Verizon Wireless and Sprint, but it has skipped AT&T and T-Mobile.
Now, evidence has popped up that a mysterious Samsung-T999, a handset with a screen resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels, matching the one on the Galaxy Nexus, is indeed arriving on T-Mobile. Not only that, but the T999 model name matches the naming scheme of T-Mobile: T for the name of the carrier and the typical 9 at the end.

T-Mobile says iPhone offers 'poor' experience, points customers to 4G Android phones instead
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesT-Mobile
An internal document allegedly obtained from T-Mobile says the iPhone offers a “poor” customer experience on T-Mobile’s network. While it’s arguable that is a true statement since current iPhone models don’t support T-Mobile’s 1700MHz and 2100MHz 3G/4G bands and can only run on a second-generation EDGE network, there are now well over a million T-Mobile customers currently using unlocked iPhones on its network. The internal document instead asks customer service representatives to suggest customers buy T-Mobile’s 4G HSPA+ Android devices instead. We certainly understand where T-Mobile is coming from; obviously it wants to be able to control its customers’ experiences on its network. Plus, ED...

T-Mobile launching new limited-time 5GB and 10GB data plans January 25th
Like UnlikeFiled in: T-Mobile
Following AT&T’s lead, T-Mobile will soon be offering new 5GB and 10GB data plans for a limited time. In a purported internal memo acquired by TmoNews, the carrier will begin offering the new plans starting January 25th. The Unlimited-Premium 5GB and Unlimited-Ultra 10GB plans will both include a free mobile hotspot and cloud storage, which normally costs $20 per month. The promo will be available to both new and existing customers, however the memo states that in order “to protect T-Mobile revenue” reps should “not proactively offer the bundled features to customers already on a 5 GB data feature who do not want additional data.”

T-Mobile and Walmart add new $45 unlimited plan, with a catch
Like UnlikeFiled in: T-Mobile
T-Mobile and Walmart announced on Tuesday that the Walmart Family Mobile plan now offers unlimited talk, text and web for $45 per month. Additional lines cost just $35 per month. Until Tuesday, Walmart’s plan did not offer unlimited web access, but there’s a big catch: the unlimited data doesn’t always provide 3G data speeds. Instead, those who sign up before March 16th will be able to consume up to 5GB of data at 3G speeds. After March 31st, however, new customers will only be able to surf at 3G speeds for the first 250MB. Customers interested in purchasing the plan can do so in any nationwide Walmart store or by visiting Walmart.com. T-Mobile and Walmart said the decision to add unlimited ...
