AT&T Seems To Be “Faster” And “Better”

I don’t know if you’ve noticed but I feel like AT&T service for all their niggles has gotten faster and more reliable.  I was thinking about this just last week.  I drove by a street corner where I used to drop calls most of the time but guess what, no dropped call.  I was at [...]

T-Mobile’s 1700MHz Band Is Bad For AT&T

I’ve been against this whole AT&T – T-Mobile merger from the start.  I didn’t think it was good for the many thousands of T-Mobile employees who’d lose their job.  I didn’t think it would be good for international travelers roaming in the US.  And I didn’t think it would be good for AT&T customers. That’s [...]

What’s Going On In Mobile? Not Much!

What’s going on in mobile?  It’s not a metaphoric question,  I’m serious.  Really, what’s going on?  Yes AT&T is trying to buy T-Mobile.  Yes HP murdered WebOS.  Yes the iPhone 4s came out and Google bought Motorola.  But what is going on in mobile?  Where’s the revolution?  Why aren’t consumers seeing any change? AT&T hasn’t [...]

2 New Services From AT&T At CTIA

While I was at CTIA in San Diego last week I got the chance to talk to Georgia Taylor from AT&T.  We chatted about a whole host of exciting things coming from AT&T (I have some juicy BlackBerry news) as well as a few things I can actually blog about.  Like the new Toggling service, [...]

Telco’s Should Add Boingo WiFi To Plans

I’m reasonably new to this whole iPhone business as well as new to data limitations.  Up until recently I was an Android/BlackBerry/Nokia user and had been on an unlimited data plan for as long as I can remember.  I’ve been enjoying the iPhone a great deal but I’m always concerned about going over my data allowance.  Onavo has [...]

I Need A Reason To Stick With AT&T

I need a reason to stick with AT&T right now and not switch to Verizon or Sprint.  I’m not enjoying my AT&T experience and I’m not sure why I’m sticking with AT&T at this point.  There are more options then ever in terms of service providers but what sets one apart from the next?  Only [...]

For Americas Sake AT&T Needs To Let T-Mobile Go

Does anyone find it interesting that AT&T doesn’t have any visable deals with MVNO’s to use their network?  It’s because it’s more expensive, understandably so, it’s superior to T-Mobiles but it is more expensive.  Now T-Mobile has a few MVNO’s it works with like Simple Mobile and Straight Talk, why you ask… Because they’re cheaper. [...]

T-Mobile’s Acquisition By AT&T Will Be Bad For International Roamers

I was thinking this morning that if the acquisition of T-Mobile by AT&T goes through it won’t only be bad for Americans for a variety of reasons.  Starting with the lack of competition.  Yes there are still 2 other companies to compete with but that’s 1 less then before and the only other GSM carrier [...]

Google And Sprint Are New BFF’s

Is there a correlation in the fact that Sprint’s HQ is in KC and Google chose Kansas City for ultra-high speed fiber network?  Are the 2 companies delving into a sorted relationship with Android and high speed internet?  Is there a conspiracy? Now that T-Mobile USA is being purchased by AT&T Wireless Google’s Android doesn’t have a [...]

$10/month unlimited internet on AT&T

AT&T has a secret plan that most people don’t know about and are never offered publicly as far as I know.  Most people pay $15/month for unlimited internet with a dumb phone and $30/month for internet with a smart phone like a Nokia E71x or iPhone.  Well over the weekend I was on the phone [...]
