T-Mobile to start offering 4G micro SIM kits for unlocked iPhones

Last week, T-Mobile announced that it was going to begin offering truly unlimited data plans on September 5th. It says the plans will work in conjunction with 4G data speeds, and promises that users will never be throttled.

Well, good news today for current or potential iPhone customers on the network. According to a new report, the carrier is about to start offering 4G micro SIM kits, compatible with its unlimited plans, for unlocked iPhone users...

T-Mobile to start offering new truly unlimited data plans September 5

The unlimited data plan, for all intents and purposes, is dead on two of America's largest wireless carriers. Both AT&T and Verizon recently switched to Shared data plans, and they're not looking back.

But while other operators are eradicating the unlimited plan, T-Mobile is embracing it. The carrier just announced that it is going to start offering new unlimited, unthrottled data plans next month...

T-Mobile engineer talks iPhone, LTE and failed AT&T merger

Out of the top four carriers in the US, T-Mobile is the only one that doesn't officially carry the iPhone, or have an active LTE network. As you can imagine, this has sparked a lot of curiosity in the company's plans for the future.

Well, for all of you curious types, we've come across a Reddit AMA that has been going on all morning with a T-Mobile RF engineer. He's been answering questions regarding the iPhone, the carrier's plans for LTE and more...

T-Mobile not seen landing the iPhone before 2013

T-Mobile USA, the nation's fourth largest telco, is not seen getting Apple's smartphone this year, despite paying dearly for network upgrades to support 3G data speeds on the iPhone and testing its iPhone-friendly data service at WWDC. The news doesn't bode well for the Deutsche Telekom-owned carrier, conspicuously the sole major U.S. wireless company without Apple's device...

T-Mobile confirms network upgrade won’t affect legacy data plans

Over the past few months, T-Mobile has been touting its plans to upgrade its wireless network to be more friendly with Apple's smartphone. Despite not being an official partner, the carrier sees a lot of business from unlocked iPhone users.

The upgrade, which allows iPhone users to enjoy 3G data speeds, has already started rolling out to a handful of areas. So that has some T-Mobile subscribers wondering, will they get to keep their old data plans on the new, faster network?

T-Mobile to purchase AWS spectrum from Verizon

T-Mobile's AT&T deal might not have gone through, but that doesn't mean the carrier is ready to just roll over and die. It's actually been very busy this year, building up its network.

The company has already started showing off its new iPhone-friendly HSPA+ technology. And today it's announced plans to purchase a large amount of AWS spectrum from Verizon...

T-Mobile lighting up more iPhone-friendly HSPA+ sites in June and July

Still wondering about those unlocked iPhones that clocked much faster data speeds on T-Mobile's network at WWDC's Moscone West building in San Francisco? Well, Deutsche Telekom-owned carrier, the nation's fourth-largest, today shared some interesting updates concerning "4G" rollout,  which includes the iPhone-friendly 1900MHz band on its HSPA+ network...

T-Mobile continues iPhone push, offers free support to unlockers

T-Mobile may be the only major carrier in the U.S. that doesn't officially offer the iPhone, but you wouldn't know that by watching its PR departement. The company continues to find its way into Apple news.

Earlier this year, the operator announced that it was going to be launching an iPhone-friendly network by the end of 2012. Last week it confirmed it would be showing off that network at WWDC. And now...

T-Mobile confirms it will be offering iPhone-friendly 4G service at WWDC

So this is pretty interesting: earlier today we passed along a report that [unlocked] iPhone users have recently started seeing 3G data on T-Mobile's network around the Moscone Center in San Francisco. This is where Apple will host WWDC next week.

This isn't typical for T-Mobile iPhone users, as technology conflicts between the carrier and the handest usually force them to 2G data (which is why T-Mobile still isn't an official iPhone partner). So we figured something must be up...

Unlocked iPhone users on T-Mobile again reporting 3G data speeds

T-Mobile and the iPhone have a love-hate relationship. While the carrier often bashes the handset in its print ads and TV commercials, it obviously benefits from the 1 million+ unlocked iPhones on its network, and would love an official partnership.

Why else do you think the carrier continues to speak publicly about its plans to launch a new 4G network — one that would finally allow iPhones to get 3G data speeds? Because it's dying to show iPhone owners (and Apple) that it's willing to play ball...

T-Mobile ad disses the iPhone 4S on AT&T’s network

As T-Mobile USA is getting ready to roll out an iPhone-compatible HSPA+ 19000 MHz network later this year (they already host more than a million iPhones on their network), the long overdue iPhone-friendly network expansion isn't stopping them to take potshots at Apple's smartphone and rival AT&T.

Their latest commercial, a part of the broader campaign dubbed 'Alter Ego', likens the speed of an iPhone 4S on the AT&T network to an ordinary motorcycle, which gets overtaken in a blink of a second by a badass 1000cc Ducati motorcycle....

T-Mobile: iPhone-compatible HSPA+ network coming later this year

Folks looking to move their iPhone service to the often-cheaper T-Mobile network will be happy to hear this. The nation's fourth largest carrier has just announced that it plans to roll out an iPhone-ready network by the end of the year.

According to a recent press release, T-Mobile is modernizing its 4G network this year by launching HSPA+ services in the 1900 MHz band. This will improve data speeds, in-building service, and yes, compatibility with Apple's smartphone...
