Bad news for fans of competition — the long-rumored merger between T-Mobile and Sprint sounds like it’s going to become a reality. In a Bloomberg report published today, sources “familiar with the matter” have told the publication that a deal between the two telecom giants is on track to be announced by the end of October. The report says […]
It was supposed to be ready within a month of its announcement in May, but better late than never. The Essential Phone, the new smartphone by Android co-founder Andy Rubin, is available for preorder at Sprint starting today. The premium phone is promising a range of modular accessories that can be attached to the back […]
Ready for another Android phone competitor? Well, you’re getting one anyway! You might have already heard about the Essential phone, which was revealed in late May exclusively by The Verge. Billed as a sturdier, modular premium Android phone, Essential was created by Android co-founder Andy Rubin. That’s a pretty good argument, but the Essential phone […]
If your old phone has gotten a bit too janky for your liking, Sprint is making it worth your while to upgrade. Today, the carrier announced that they’ll be giving away the iPhone 7 for free with a trade-in and, of course, with you switching to Sprint. The freebie in this deal is a 32 […]
Last week, we saw the next step forward in cellular network technology in the United States. Sprint, which might be the comeback kid of the big four in the 4G+ and 5G eras, debuted the United States’ first Gigabit LTE network in New Orleans. The demonstration used Sprint’s network and a Qualcomm modem sitting in […]
The last six months have seen T-Mobile, Sprint, Verizon, and AT&T all reintroduce widely available unlimited wireless plans. The competition has been so fierce that those plans have all been changing what seems like every week, as all four try to add more features at lower prices. The result has been great deals for families, […]
Sprint is giving a huge short-term reason for families to switch to their network this week. Their unlimited plan, which launched at $60 for the first line, $40, for the second, and $30 per line past that, recently saw a temporary cut to $50 for the first line. Today, Sprint is going all-out to entice […]
Tidal has a new business partner, and this time, it’s not a fellow artist. The streaming service co-owned by a number of musicians led by Jay-Z has sold off a third of its shares to Sprint, establishing a partnership that both sides hope will bring about a much needed revival. Today’s announcement is light on […]
Remember the massive crowds that Pokémon Go generated back when the game first launched in the summer? Sprint’s hoping they start forming around their stores next week. That’s when the game’s developers, Niantic, are expected to announce new Pokémon (likely from the series’ second generation), the latest and most significant update in the game’s attempt at a […]
Access to the internet has become a practical necessity for anyone looking to enter the job market today, but its equal importance in schools can be overlooked. Homework assignments and research papers can be done faster and better using an almost infinite storehouse of information. That’s great, but it puts students who don’t have internet […]
Free iPhone 7 deals all over the place! T-Mobile is giving the things out, and now Sprint is doing the same. The only problem is the Sprint network, but that might be OK considering their monthly plans are now way better than what T-Mobile is offering. Like with the T-Mobile deal, Sprint is taking any […]
After being banished for years, unlimited data plans are coming back. T-Mobile and Sprint are reviving unlimited data this week, but like usual with remakes, it’s not going to be as good the second time around. Both plans unsurprisingly skew expensive, but there are a few restrictions on these plans that might rankle even more. […]
Apple’s latest press conference heralded the return of the 4″ premium phone. Bucking rumors, the iPhone SE is an iPhone 6s in a much smaller frame — Force Touch was the only thing left on the cutting room floor. Still, being smaller, the SE was bound to come more cheaply than its larger counterparts. We […]
Leaving the country shouldn’t be a punishment. Yet, it’s 2015 and so many U.S. wireless carriers still want to gouge their customers when it comes to pricing for international roaming — everyone except T-Mobile, anyway. Even worse, if you’re on a prepaid plan in the U.S., chances are you don’t have an option to roam internationally […]
Calling out T-Mobile by name in a press release issued today, Sprint has responded to their rival’s new trade-in deal featuring a 16 GB iPhone 6S for $5 per month by lowering the cost even further on their own trade-in deals, slashing the cost of that same 16 GB iPhone 6S to $1 per month. […]
UPDATE 09/23/15: Pricing for Apple, T-Mobile, and Sprint were given for the 16 GB iPhone 6S, and have been updated to reflect the 64 GB model. The final comparison between all five plans remains the same, with AT&T and Verizon becoming marginally more competitive. When Apple announced their iPhone Upgrade Program alongside the 6S and […]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QC22ZHo7Iak In an effort to offer customers a more simplified smartphone plan, Sprint is launching their All-In plan, an $80 per month plan that includes the cost of renting a smartphone and unlimited talk, text, and data. Sprint and new friend David Beckham are keen to talk up how easy the new plan makes it […]
About a year and a half ago, T-Mobile announced that they were going to start offering free international data in over 100 countries, along with discounted calling rates in those countries. Well, it’s taken a while, but Sprint has now also gotten on board with international data thanks to their new International Value Roaming plan. […]
The Sharp AQUOS Crystal, Sharp’s mid-range smartphone with a sweet-looking edge-to-edge display, is nearly ready to arrive in stores. Sprint and Boost Mobile will be carrying the device at prices that are awfully tempting for what is still a fairly respectable smartphone. You’ll be able to find the AQUOS Crystal in white at Boost Mobile […]
The big four probably aren’t too enthusiastic about maintaining those old landline connections. So, every once in a while, those of us who still have one get a gentle poke or prod to lightly suggest, hey, maybe let it go. That’s pretty much what the Sprint Phone Connect 3 is—a Bluetooth device that will route […]
Sprint has unveiled new pricing for their off-contract monthly plans, and it looks like they’re aiming to soundly beat the rest of the big four when it comes to affordability. Through Sprint Prepaid, you can now get monthly plans that all include unlimited talk and text. Past that, you’ll get 1 GB of data for […]
