You may remember just a few days ago, T-Mobile launched a special promotional offer for customers signing up to Prepaid or Simple Choice No Credit customers. First off was the offer of a free SIM Starter Kit, and second was the special $50 price of the LG Optimus L90. In two days time, on May 20, T-Mobile … [read full article]
Late last week it seemed we had a concrete release date for the upcoming budget-friendly Lumia 640 smartphone by Microsoft. Although its popularity isn’t likely to be quite near the likes of the Galaxy S6 or iPhone 6, it certainly feels like there are plenty out there waiting to get their hands on the next great value Windows Phone. And from my time with it, that’s exactly what I think it is. It’s an incredible amount of … [read full article]
One of our readers got in touch this morning to inform us that the Android 5.0 Lollipop update for the Samsung Galaxy Tab S on T-Mobile is beginning its rollout today. And he must have caught it early because T-Mo’s general software updates progress page is still showing it as under “T-Mobile Testing”. Edit – At time of posting, the updates page didn’t have the information on the new software. Now it does. [read full article]
After last week’s social networking setback, you’d forgive T-Mobile for backing out of its #NeverSettleforVerizon promotion. And with any ordinary wireless operator, that would be expected. But this is T-Mobile and John Legere we’re talking about here. When has this new, improved Uncarrier ever backed out of anything (unless it’s upsetting lots of customers)? Instead of dialing it back, John tweeted out a short video clip this morning with … [read full article]
T-Mobile’s band 12, 700MHz LTE rollout is showing no signs of slowing down as we hear of yet another sighting of the stronger network. One of our readers from south Austin noticed much stronger signal than normal just a couple of days ago while using his Nexus 6. Curious to see the reason for the extra strength of his LTE signal, he turned to the LTE Discovery app and found that band 12 was live. I’ve attached … [read full article]
If there’s one thing that’s frustrating about using carrier-locked Android phones, it’s waiting for software updates. Whether it’s having to wait months for the Android Lollipop software for the Note 4, or just waiting for a bug fix, it’s not the best consumer experience around. And it seems Microsoft will be taking a page from Apple’s book on this front in future devices. In a post on its Ignite blog, Microsoft confirmed that it’s going to apply … [read full article]
It seems like a lifetime ago that Microsoft unveiled the latest in its lineup of Lumia devices. And by all accounts, both the Lumia 640 and 640 XL could be some of the best budget-friendly Windows Phone devices we’ve ever seen. But only one is coming to T-Mobile, and ever since they were announced we’ve seen “coming soon” plastered on the device’s product page on … [read full article]
You guys asked for it – or at least a couple of you did – so I wanted to make sure I shared this unboxing with you. Although we don’t have any concrete release date just yet, the Microsoft Lumia 640 is going to be landing on T-Mobile’s store shelves very soon. I got my hands on the unlocked international model so that you could have a quick first impressions and overview before it eventually arrives in … [read full article]
Along with the message that T-Mobile will be dropping the SIM Starter Kit to $0 for prepaid customers came news that the company is also dropping the price of one of its popular mid-range smartphones. It’s another deal aimed squarely at the prepaid customers, offering them the chance to pick up the LG Optimus L90 for just $49.99. The only caveat is that you need to buy … [read full article]
T-Mobile has been rolling out the deals recently.

And today, comes a special deal for prepaid customers, as … [read full article]
While both the LG Leon and G Stylo both have their official launch dates being communicated with staff, it seems our favorite carrier is being a little more secretive about the arrival of LG’s latest flagship. We still don’t know exactly when the phone is going to be in stores, or maybe we do. Yesterday, the promotional handle created by T-Mobile for … [read full article]
Not long ago, T-Mobile launched its latest promotional ad campaign. The #NeverSettleforVerizon push listed reasons in a blog as to why you shouldn’t settle for Big Red and came along with a handful of short YouTube ad spots too. Its very existence is a sign of T-Mobile’s new-found confidence after 2 years of growing success in the market. It also gave … [read full article]
