T-Mobile is sad that it doesn't have the iPhone. With Sprint rumored to get the iPhone 5 next month, T-Mobile will be the only main carrier left out in the cold.
T-Mobile Chief Marketing Office Cole Brodman has issued an open letter to all T-Mobile customers about the iPhone. Brodman makes it clear that T-Mobile values its customers and wants the iPhone on its network...
For the second time in one week, T-Mobile has made it pretty clear they it is not getting the iPhone this year.
With Sprint now rumored to get the iPhone, T-Mobile would be the last US carrier to not have a relationship with Apple. And it's not because they don't want it, as T-Mobile Chief Marketing Officer Cole Brodman said in an interview today...
If the amount of evidence piling up that Sprint is about to get the iPhone was not enough, here is more oil to throw on the fire. iDB reader David S forwarded us a letter that Sprint sent him, letting him know that the company was discontinuing its Premier Program.
Among other benefits, the Premier Program allowed members to upgrade their phone every 12 month at the subsidized price...
Although Google originally started off as just a search engine, it hasn't been afraid to try its hand in other markets. We've seen the Mountain View company produce desktop and cell phone software, and seemingly everything in between.
Well it appears like software wasn't enough to satisfy the mighty search giant, as now the company is looking into the cell phone carrier market. BGR passes on a report from cellular-news that claims Google is testing an MVNO service in Spain...
AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson recently responded to the rumor that Sprint would be getting the iPhone next month. During the Goldman Sachs Communacopia conference, Stephenson described the effect of carriers adding the iPhone as being "always overblown" by the media.
AT&T feels that the iPhone's availability on more carriers does nothing, and will continue to do nothing, to the company's relevancy among its competition. Stephenson said that, "I’m very confident that we’ll do very well with” the new iPhone...
If there's one thing I didn't expect to hear today, it's Verizon CEO Lowell McAdam give his approval to the AT&T/T-Mobile merger initiated earlier this year.
Of course, the potential business deal has been under scrutiny by the US Government, but AT&T intends to fight all the way to make the deal go through. Their argument? AT&T itself isn't happy with its network, and the company needs T-Mobile's network to increase its reliability. Surprisingly, Verizon agrees with that...
It was only five days ago that I predicted Sprint would have to put an end to its unlimited data plan, and it seems that I was right. Following Verizon and AT&T's lead, a leaked internal document reveals that Sprint will start capping their unlimited tethering data plan to 5GB/month, starting October 2nd.
In views of all the recent hints that Sprint will get the iPhone, this move was most likely made to prevent future iPhone users from going over the top with data while using their device as a mobile hotspot...
Rumors have been going wild lately about Sprint getting the iPhone sometime next month. From installing signal repeaters around Apple Stores, to saying its network is ready for iPhone traffic, it almost seems inevitable at this point that the company will indeed get the iPhone.

A leaked internal document from T-Mobile says that the carrier will not offer the iPhone 5 on its network this year. Previous rumors have suggested that Apple would open up iPhone availability on all US carriers with the iPhone 5 launch this Fall, but that doesn't seem to be the case.
T-Mobile’s Chief Marketing Officer Cole Broadman has said that T-Mobile will not "get the iPhone 5 this year." Should T-Mobile customers be concerned?
With circulating rumors that Apple will eventually introduce an iPhone with NFC technology, South Korean carrier KT Telecom is taking matters into its own hands. KT has launched the iCarte 420K NFC case for the iPhone 4.
Developed by Canadian company Wireless Dynamics, the $63 iCarte gives the iPhone Near Field Communications capabilities with the carrier's online payment service/digital wallet and South Korean credit card companies.
Following their announcement made in February that the company would be throttling data for the top 5% of its users, Verizon has officially started what they call "Network Optimization Practices," just in time for the iPhone 5 launch sometime next month.
These "Network Optimization Practices" consist of reducing the data speed of the top 5% of Verizon users, a.k.a those who are on an unlimited data plan and use more than 2GB of data per month...
China's third largest wireless provider has initiated a $234.5 million iPhone 5 promotion called the "Dragon Plan." China Telecom is already training employees and setting up in-store advertising. One store has even set up a large LCD panel promoting the unreleased iPhone 5.
