Looks like Big Red is feeling a little generous and has a nice treat for their “loyal” customers. An email has been sent out to these loyal customers, telling them that they are able to upgrade their phone for free. Now usually that would mean some low-end phone that no one would really want, but [...]

In the wireless industry we are often times faced with issues. The primary issue that we see pop up that causes the most controversy is processor related. That is why you see such devices like the Galaxy S II variants on different carriers sporting a different processor then the original device. There could be a number of factors that [...]

The continued coverage of AT&T and the recent uproar in their throttling policy has led to some seriously upset people. The throttling as you may well be aware of by now, only affects the top 5% of the heavies data users that still reside on the grandfather unlimited plan. AT&T was quick to combat the [...]

If you build it they will come. Well, it’s already built, so I guess if you buy it all they will have no choice but to come. At least I think that is Verizon’s plan anyways. What can you do when you have oodles of money, a huge customer base and the largest cell footprint [...]

We’re getting reports of intermittent data (3G and 4G) outages across the country this morning on Verizon. We’re not able to verify that it’s a nationwide or even a universal issue at this time, only that folks all over are affected. Though this is the first large scale service interruption of the new year, it’s [...]

While we all know the four major players here in the states get the latest and greatest devices, we sometimes forget about the other guys. US Cellular being one of the other guys that should never be over looked as a provider of service as well as great devices. They stay in line with some [...]

Another holiday, another excuse to get contracts. Looks like T-Mobile will be making some calls to pre-selected loyal customers and making them an offer they might not be able to refuse. One of the many complaints that has been heard time and time again from loyal T-Mobile customers is that the company doesn’t do squat [...]

Nothing like waking up one morning to see the little LTE symbol on your device. It is a nice thing to see, and makes a guy wonder how that happened. That would only happen if you had a supporting device though. On the bright side, both Verizon and AT&T are flipping the so-called switch in [...]

Contests are a cool way to get your hands on a new device for nothing. A tweet just went out from @VerizonWireless alerting the public to be sure to follow them tomorrow. Why? Well, because they are gong to be giving away a new LG Spectrum everyday for a week. You have to follow their [...]

We have all seen numerous reports of Samsung getting ready to launch an Ice Cream Sandwich update for the Galaxy S II. When a company with such a  large user base, and just as large device variations, makes an announcement like that we can’t help but wonder which devices they really mean. The update is [...]

  Hey you Canadian with the large hands, The Samsung Galaxy Note has made its way to Canada and is available on Bell and Telus. This 5.3 inch hybrid phone/tablet device comes loaded with 2.3.6 Gingerbread,with  the Android 4.0 update on the way.  pricing varies between carriers, Telus charging $779.99 off contract and $199.99 on [...]

This is a rather interesting concept. Rather than paying a data fee per line, AT&T is working to bring a data feature to family plans. I told T-Mobile for year that they should get into this before the other carriers beat them to the punch, but of course that fell on deaf ears. Having the [...]

Bell has re introduced the $30 6GB data plan promotion. I was very excited last time Bell released this promo. I  jumped at the chance to get it and have been happy ever since. In an internal Bell Document it says that they are relaunching the plan to continue to provide customers with 6GB of [...]

As if upgrading your device didn’t already cost enough, AT&T is upping its ‘upgrade fee’ from the current $18 to a whopping $36. This was confirmed multiple times from various sources over at BGR and appear to be legit and not a hoax. The image below is one of the change announcements sent to retailers [...]

A few days ago we brought you guys a story that reflected how AT&T is throttling its grandfathered unlimited plan customers. The two users that were identified were getting text messages and letters from AT&T stating they were in the top 5% of data consumers. Fully expecting them to have used some ungodly amount, we [...]
