T-Mobile

In the latest partnership for the Un-carrier, T-Mobile has signed a deal to be the primary wireless provider for the US Department of Veterans Affairs for the next decade. The deal will mean tens of thousands of wireless lines, 5G internet, and more for VA healthcare professionals and clinics that are providing important primary and mental healthcare.

T-Mobile has announced its latest Un-carrier move today called “Phone Freedom.” Aiming to give customers at Verizon and AT&T an “emergency exit,” T-Mobile is offering some big incentives like the option to trade-in a locked phone for a free new one, upgrades every two years instead of three, a price lock guarantee, a new “Go 5G Plus” plan that’s the same for new or existing customers, a “Go Back Guarantee,” and more.

Opensignal is out with a new report that looks at how Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T compare at the 29 MLB stadiums in the US. Along with download and upload speeds, the results reveal availability, consistency, video experience, and more.

Ookla has released its Q4 report for US mobile Internet speeds and more. One carrier continues a strong lead over competitors with 2x faster download speeds, plus the top consistency, availability, and lowest latency.

T-Mobile has been on a roll with its partnerships this year. Following up on becoming the official mobile carrier for Vail Mountain Resorts and AAA, the Un-carrier has announced that it has renewed its MLB partnership in a new six-year deal. The news means T-Mobile customers will get to enjoy free MLB.TV through 2028, 5G coverage expansion at MLB stadiums, and more.

T-Mobile has officially confirmed that one of its most popular “T-Mobile Tuesday” promotions is returning for another year. Starting today, T-Mobile subscribers can sign up for a free MLB.TV subscription that lasts for the entire 2023 baseball season.

T-Mobile has announced its latest advancement with 5G Standalone at MWC today. Previously, the Uncarrier has touted speeds up to 3Gbps by merging three channels of 5G. Now it’s boosted that to 3.3Gbps. The news comes as Apple has delivered official support for 5G SA in the US with the iOS 16.4 beta. Additionally, T-Mobile has shared voice over 5G is rolling out to new cities in the US.

T-Mobile and Vail Resorts have signed a multi-year deal that will expand the Uncarrier’s 5G coverage and capacity across 36 of Vail’s US resorts. The investment will be valuable for T-Mobile customers and Vail Resorts staff, particularly as the company is set to launch mobile passes and lift tickets “next season.”

Among the new features and changes with the first developer beta of iOS 16.4, a new toggle has arrived in the Cellular settings for iPhone. The new option brings support for the 5G Standalone (SA) service offered by T-Mobile. Notably, 5G SA can deliver wildly fast speeds up to 3Gbps and it looks like iPhone could be the next device to take advantage of the tech.

Apple’s new MLS Season Pass subscription will be available for free to T-Mobile subscribers, the carrier announced today. This is the latest expansion of T-Mobile’s “On Us” program, which also offers Apple TV+ for free as part of certain cellular plans.

T-Mobile is suffering what appears to be an increasingly widespread outage in the United States. The carrier has (vaguely) acknowledged the issues via its support account on Twitter, but there’s no timetable on when services will be restored for users.

Ookla has released its Q4 report for US mobile Internet speeds and more. One carrier continues a strong lead over competitors with 2x faster download speeds, plus the top consistency, availability, and lowest latency.

T-Mobile is informing customers of a data breach that saw a “bad actor” obtain “limited types of information” from user accounts. T-Mobile says that it shut down this bad actor’s access to the data within 24 hours, and that system fallbacks in place “prevented the most sensitive types of customer information from being accessed.”

T-Mobile is expanding its partnership with Delta to make in-flight Wi-Fi dramatically more accessible. Starting next month, T-Mobile will provide free in-flight WiFi to all Delta passengers, even those who use a competing carrier like AT&T or Verizon…

T-Mobile is out with a report today on “The State of Fixed Wireless Access.” Using its own data and research from a number of independent third parties, the Uncarrier says it’s leading the rollout of 5G Home Internet by a wide margin over Verizon, offers one of the highest customer satisfaction ratings across all broadband providers, shares why customers are switching, and more.

This past summer, T-Mobile released the results of a production network test that showed how 5G Standalone (5G SA) could deliver speeds up to 3Gbps when combined with carrier aggregation (NR CA). Now the Uncarrier has officially launched its “Standalone Ultra Capacity 5G.”

T-Mobile increased its 5G Home Internet coverage from 45 to over 50 million US homes back in September. Now the Uncarrier’s 5G Home Internet service has expanded again to 70 new cities in the Midwest to cover 6 million additional homes.

Making the jump to a new carrier can often sound appealing, whether it’s the incentives, the hopes of better coverage, pricing, or all of the above. However, the reality is that switching can be a commitment (even without contracts) and it’s no fun to make the move only to realize you’ve made a mistake. Fortunately, now it’s possible to do free and instant carrier eSIM trials on iPhone on all the major US networks.

Ookla has released its fall report for US mobile and fixed broadband Internet speeds. Continuing its lead in mobile performance, T-Mobile had download speeds almost 2x faster than AT&T and Verizon, plus the strongest consistency and 5G availability. For fixed broadband, Spectrum beat out COX and XFINITY for the fastest download speeds.
