T-Mobile has introduced a less expensive option for those who want internet on the go (and don’t like spending all day at the coffee shop). The company’s new plan, priced at $39.99 per month, offers customers 2GB of overage-free data access, which is throttled after the limit is reached. The service requires a standard two-year commitment, but existing voice subscribers will receive a 20% discount for the broadband package, effectively reducing the cost to $31.99. Of course, the usual taxes and surcharges still apply. If you’re unsure whether mobile internet is right for you, T-Mo also offers month-to-month pricing, allowing you to test its HSPA+ service without the hassle of a long-term relationship. And in case you’re looking for a little somethin’ to serve up all this data, this little Hotspot might just do the trick — as for the new plan, you’ll find all the sordid details in the source link below.

October 2nd, 2010 admin Sprint said it was coming , and lo and behold, the carrier has proven to be true to its word. Here on the final day of September, the year 2010, Sprint has issued a highly anticipated firmware update for the Epic 4G . We’re told that it’ll be pushed automatically to phones, bringing along four major fixes : WiFi standby battery drain, Amazon MP3 cannot download in 4G, large emails lag in upload speeds and increased 3G upload speeds. The new version is S:D700.0.5S.DI18, should take seven or eight minutes to download and will be beamed across The Now Network over the course of the next few days. Is that a congregation celebrating off in the middle distance? Sure is.

April 30th, 2010 admin Well, it looks like T-Mobile has some good news and some bad news for customers using its 5GB webConnect data plan. The good news is that the carrier will no longer be charging its $0.20 per megabyte overage fee for any data used beyond the 5GB limit, thereby effectively making the 5GB plan an unlimited plan. The bad news is that in place of an overage charge, it will be implementing bandwidth throttling on any data used on top of the standard 5GB, although it’s not saying exactly how much it will slow things down. Customers using T-Mobile’s basic 200MB monthly plan aren’t left out of the changes either — while they won’t see any bandwidth throttling, they will see their overage charges cut in half from $0.20 to $0.10 per megabyte. Both changes are apparently effective immediately. T-Mobile drops some overage charges in favor of bandwidth throttling originally appeared on Engadget on Wed, 28 Apr 2010 21:07:00 EST.
