T-Mobile, today sent out a memo to staff informing them that the ZTE ZMAX was going back on sale following a brief absence. Just over 10 days ago, the device was removed from stock. And, for a while, we weren’t 100% sure why, until it was revealed that it was customers trying to remove the … [read full article]
T-Mobile and Alcatel OneTouch have worked together on a number of budget-friendly smartphones and tablets. That relationship, it seems, is set to continue. We’ve been sent a cheat-sheet detailing a new, cheap handset on its way to T-Mobile soon. The Alcatel OneTouch Pop Astro – spec wise – fits somewhere in between the Evolve 2 and Fierce 2. It has a 4.5-inch qHD (960×540) display, 1.2GHz quad-core processor with 1GB RAM and 4GB … [read full article]

Stop the presses! We have the most important breaking news story of the day. Forget Apple Watch, Des Smith (T-Mo’s product guru) tweeted a short while ago that the long-awaited Android 5.0 Lollipop software update for the Note 4 is very close to happening. In fact, some customers could see the update land on their devices as soon as next week. Is that just the best news, ever or what? I mean, I assume it is given … [read full article]
We were somewhat surprised a couple of weeks back when the Sony Xperia Z3 vanished from T-Mobile’s online store. Although it clearly hasn’t been a best-seller, the Z3 is one of the best performing handsets on the Android market. And perhaps one of the most attractive too. Still, just 16 days ago, it seemed T-Mobile had given up on the device. Now, it’s back. And it’s cheaper than before. Much … [read full article]
Ever since MWC at the beginning of March we’ve known T-Mobile is going to carry the Microsoft Lumia 640.

That’s despite the fact that it showed up on … [read full article]

Just be sure to follow the @TMobileIR … [read full article]

T-Mobile and Google have been working with each other for donkey’s years. (That’s British for: A very long time.) Going all the way back to the T-Mobile G1, the very first Android phone. But they’ve never done anything as ambitious as Project Fi seems on the service. As rumored many times, Google has finally announced its MVNO carrier. And just like the rumors suggested, you pay for the … [read full article]
According to an exclusive report over at WSJ (sub requireD) Google is going to make its rumored wireless service official today, April 22nd. And if it does, it could be the most Un-carrier thing to hit the market since T-Mobile. Unlike traditional carriers, Google’s service is rumored to allow customers to pay only for the data they use each month, instead of having set tiers or “buckets”. It sounds like great news for the industry, … [read full article]
“Magenta” and “Thunder”, like many of T-Mobile buzzwords, shouldn’t go together well but – somehow – still do. Perhaps because it means awesome discounts for online shoppers on T-Mobile.com. Like Amazon’s Lightning deals, the offers are only available for a short time. But unlike Amazon’s deals, they last two days. From today – April 21st – until tomorrow – April 22nd – T-Mobile is offering $72 off the iPhone 6. The offer is available on all colors … [read full article]
