Just over a week ago I informed you that June 30th was going to be my last day running TmoNews, and working with the PhoneDog Media team. That time has now come, and much quicker than I was expecting it to. Over the course of my time with the network I’ve written more than five thousand articles, and created over one hundred videos. It’s been fantastic, and if you’d have … [read full article]
Yesterday saw the official launch of T-Mobile’s latest Uncarrier phase. As part 1 of #UncarrierAmped, T-Mo decided to give its JUMP! upgrades program a huge revamp. Rather than charge customers monthly for the right to upgrade when they liked, they decided to change it in to a more flexible phone lease program. Now, you’ll pay one monthly rental fee for a new smartphone and then – when you … [read full article]

T-Mobile has sent a couple of communications out to its retail staff regarding promotions. The one above features two offers available this weekend. One which, sadly, expired today but another kicks off tomorrow through Tuesday. From June 28th to June 30th, customers will be able to purchase the LG Leon LTE for under $80. That’s down from the original full retail price of $149. Not a bad deal at all for a phone with a 4.5-inch FWVGA … [read full article]
News this morning from the Commission states that Tom Wheeler, the FCC’s chairman, is pushing against T-Mo’s request to raise the spectrum reserve in next year’s low-band auction. In a blog post today, Wheeler stated the following: “While some parties have petitioned the Commission to increase the size of the reserve, the draft Order on Reconsideration I am circulating today would maintain the reserve size at the current level. The draft Order concludes that the … [read full article]
T-Mobile very recently announced its brand new version of JUMP!. Named JUMP! on Demand, instead of charging you extra on top of your EIP for the privilege of upgrading early, you’ll now lease a smartphone and upgrade whenever you like. Since it was announced we’ve been bombarded with questions, and I’ve been sent an internal communication (or five) that lays out virtually everything you could possibly wish to … [read full article]
Just a few seconds ago, John Legere tweeted out the first in today’s announcements. Or rather, teased at an announcement before then going on to explain. At time of beginning this post, he hadn’t yet said anything specific except that JUMP! is getting a revamp. This post is developing, I’ll keep adding information as I wade through it. UPDATE: T-Mobile has updated its newsroom page with the full press release, and there’s now … [read full article]
Yesterday afternoon, MacRumors reported on an issue supposedly plaguing a number of T-Mobile’s iPhone users. Many customers are complaining of seeing “blue screens of death” and random, frequent restarts. It’s a little unusual to say the least, and seemingly no one knows what has caused the issue. Devices affected include the iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 6 and iPhone 5s. Katyovescoach on Reddit published the following: “Hey guys. So this morning my iPhone 6 (4 months … [read full article]
It has come to our attention over the past few days – thanks to a couple of our readers – that T-Mobile has changed the fine print to its unlimited 4G LTE Simple Choice plans. Head on over to the individual plans or family plans page on T-Mobile’s website and you’ll see the following short line added at the bottom of the page: “*Unlimited 4G LTE customers who use more than 21 GB of … [read full article]
T-Mobile just released a big teaser to let us know that something new is coming very soon from our favorite carrier. Unlike its previous major Un-carrier moves, it’s not being given a number (not yet anyway). Instead, it’s being dubbed “Un-carrier Amped”. Which to me says one thing – Supercharged versions of what it already has on the market. Over the next few weeks, T-Mobile is going to “amp up” several of its biggest moves. To tease … [read full article]
