In a move that managed to raise many eyebrows, T-Mobile has thrown in an industry-challenging data rollover plan for its 4G LTE users. The initiative - Uncarrier 8.0 - is T-Mobile's attempt at shaking up the industry, and with the new 'Data Stash' feature which basically allows users to carry over unused data over to the next month's bucket, it looks well poised at doing so.
Most of us are still recovering from the frenzy that was this year’s Black Friday shopping extravaganza, but the same clearly can’t be said for online retailers gearing themselves up for Cyber Monday. The Monday after the Thanksgiving holiday is always a great time for consumers to grab some deals through various online retailers, with T-Mobile putting up a great offer for those looking to upgrade their current iPhone situation.
At a typically enthusiastic event yesterday, T-Mobile's enigmatic CEO and President John Legere announced that the company would be launching a new initiative that it hopes would remove the awful feeling of buyer's remorse - a well known problem in the gadget-buying world where we regret picking up that shiny new toy for whatever reason.
The launch of the Samsung Galaxy S4 is set to proceed from the end of this month, although specific details on when the handset would land on each carrier have remained largely undisclosed. Today, however, a leaked document originating from US retailer Staples appears to have revealed the exact release dates for the handset on three of the big four carriers, and although the dates are described as "tentative," they at least offer a ballpark timeframe for consumers to begin preparing to make the purchase.
T-Mobile, the United States' fourth largest mobile carrier, recently revealed its intention to officially carry the Apple iPhone. Since then, PR mode has been in full flow, and as well as already offering one of the best deals around - particularly with the flagship iPhone 5 - T-Mo has now begun a trade-in program hoped to entice consumers into making the switch.
As expected, T-Mobile has today pushed a carrier update out to unlocked iPhone 5 handsets running on its network. Released just as official pre-orders began for the T-Mobile iPhone 5, the carrier update enables some of the typical iPhone 5 features on the network whilst also boasting one or two extra additions along the way.
The wait may soon be over for those wishing to buy an iPhone on T-Mobile in the United States, but what about those already using their iPhones on the big purple carrier? While they’re happily using their devices currently, sans 3G, what about T-Mobile’s fancy new 4G LTE network?
After what seems like an eternity, T-Mobile is finally getting onto the iPhone bandwagon as announced by the company earlier this week. If you can't wait until next month for your T-Mobile iPhone 5, then you're in luck, because thanks to a handy little jailbreak mod, you can get T-Mobile's shiny new LTE hotness on your iPhone 5, right now.
After what has seemed like an eternity in waiting, T-Mobile will finally begin carrying the iPhone 5 from April 12th. The carrier, which currently sits behind AT&T, Verizon and Sprint in the pecking order in the United States, will be the fourth major network to offer the Cupertino handset after the aforementioned, and as well as being compatible with T-Mobile's just-launched LTE network, there'll also be HD voice thrown into the mixer. The pricing structure is also rather impressive, with a 16GB iPhone 5 costing $99 up-front, followed by 24 monthly installments of $20.
As you may have heard, the new iPhone 5 is just about to begin retailing, and while the official carrier partners are grappling for the attention of Apple fans worldwide, T-Mobile USA - a company which doesn't even carry the iPhone yet - is working doubly hard for a slice of Apple pie.
