Recently Netflix announced that the price of its subscription has increased, which means that customers will need to pay more money than before to keep using its services. However the good news is that if you’re part of T-Mobile’s “Netflix on Us” program, the carrier will be covering the costs on your behalf.

Given that these numbers are constantly changing, it makes it rather difficult to block them.
T-Mobile and Sprint are currently in the process of merging. This is a huge deal for the mobile industry given that in this is not the first time that such a merger has been proposed. It is also not the first time that T-Mobile’s attempts to merge with other carriers has failed, so naturally many are watching this deal very closely.
T-Mobile CEO John Legere confirmed over a year ago that the carrier was developing its own standalone TV service. He also said that it would be “disruptive.” We haven’t heard much about it from T-Mobile ever since but the company has mentioned in passing today that the T-Mobile TV service launch will take place in 2019. It was actually reported earlier this year that T-Mobile has delayed the service’s launched […]
It is safe to say that come 2019 we can expect to see 5G smartphones from Samsung. This is because Verizon, AT&T, and Sprint have all announced that they will be working with Samsung on developing a 5G smartphone, which essentially leaves T-Mobile as the only major carrier in the US that has yet to announce similar plans.
Word on the street has it that T-Mobile is interested in getting into TV streaming. However if you were hoping to see the service launch in the near future, you might not want to hold your breath because in a report from Bloomberg, it seems that T-Mobile’s streaming service has apparently been delayed to 2019.
Smartphones with dual SIM support aren’t new, and neither are eSIMs, however with the iPhone XR, XS, and XS Max, Apple combined them together by finally introducing iPhones with support for dual SIM, but making one of the SIM card “slots” an eSIM. So far AT&T and Verizon have launched their support for it, and now it looks like T-Mobile has done the same as well.
The idea of two major carriers merging sounds like a pretty scary idea to regulators who might be worried about monopolistic behavior. However it seems that in the T-Mobile and Sprint deal, it looks like that deal could be one step closer to be approved because in a report from The Wall Street Journal, the deal is said to have been cleared by the US National Security Panel.
The other day it was reported that Sprint’s parent company, Softbank, would be replacing some of its equipment that was provided/built by Huawei. It seems that they are not alone because in a report from Reuters, it looks like T-Mobile’s parent company Deutsche Telekom could also be considering a similar move.
T-Mobile today announced the launch of a new Name ID app for iOS and an update to the existing app for Android. The app is now better at stopping robocalls and offers users more control over who can reach them on their phone. Features offered by this app include personal number blocking, reverse number lookup, and even control over entire categories of robocalls.
It appears that T-Mobile might still be interesting in launching its own TV streaming service. An FCC filing has revealed the hardware for this service which may be called the T-Mobile Mini. Images of the device have surfaced online as well due to this filing. It’s expected that T-Mobile could launch the TV streaming service before the end of this year.
