Samsung’s long-awaited and repeatedly leaked next-generation Galaxy smartphone was finally made official today at the company’s Unpacked event in New York City. As expected, the phone is a huge step up from its predecessors, which had gotten a reputation for growing somewhat stale in design. The two new Galaxy S8 phones change all of that …
Verizon began 2017 by blindsiding everyone with a new unlimited data plan. I say “blindside,” because a year ago yesterday, Verizon’s CFO told us all that “the unlimited model does not work.” If unlimited data doesn’t work, someone’s going to have to explain to me how Verizon is stealing all of Sprint’s customers all of a …
They say everything old will eventually be new again, and as of this week, all four major wireless carriers are once again offering “unlimited” data plans to their subscribers. AT&T was the last carrier to jump on board, sort of — the carrier has actually offered unlimited data for a while now, but that plan …
Earlier this week, Verizon announced an all-new unlimited data plan that included HD video streaming and mobile tethering. Not to be outdone, T-Mobile followed suite and added those features to its flagship unlimited plan. Today, Sprint announced that it’s adding HD video streaming and mobile hotspot to its unlimited data plan, which I am sure …
A report this week put Sprint’s network firmly in last place among national carriers. Coverage and speed — the only two things that really matter for a network’s performance — are awful compared to T-Mobile, Verizon and AT&T. So to make up for the lack of network performance, Sprint is taking a page out of …

Sprint has announced a temporary sale on its unlimited talk, text and data plan. For the next four days, new subscribers can get the plan for $50, down from the $60 it is normally. It’s specifically designed to take on Verizon’s $50 5GB plan, and on the face of it, that seems like a good deal.
Early this morning, slowly dying wireless carrier Sprint announced that it has bought a 33 percent stake in Tidal, Jay Z’s nearly-dead streaming music service. The deal should bring free or discounted access to Tidal’s service to all of Sprint’s customers, in return for a much-needed cash injection for Tidal, and a seat on Tidal’s …
Perhaps now more than ever, the wireless industry is just one huge game of one-upmanship, which is why it’s not entirely surprising that when one carrier announces faster speeds are coming everyone else follows suit. In the past few days, both Sprint and T-Mobile have beaten their chests about how much better their networks are …
As is becoming tradition, Sprint rolled out a bunch of “limited-time” offers on data plans for Black Friday. As it turns out, the only time limit is “as long as people want the deal.” Considering that the plans Sprint are offering are a steal — provided you like Sprint and live somewhere with good service …
