It's a question we get fairly often... how do I better control my child's wireless experience? One solution has just been introduced by AT&T. Called Smart Limits, this $4.99 per-line monthly feature (you didn't think they would do this for free did you??) lets parents set limits on when a wireless phone can make and receive calls (and from whom), as well as restrict text messages, talk time, ringtones and other downloads.

The MyRatePlan interactive PhoneFinder, already the best (okay, we're biased) tool of its kind available has been enhanced further with the addition of a filter for colors. Now, in addition to finding those phones that have the exact price and features you want, you can also see if one exists in red, blue, pink or about 10 other colors.

Very few products have gotten the amount of free publicity that the Apple iPhone has gotten since it was announced in January. The phone will finally be available during June, and will serve as a great marketing platform for the reintroduction of AT&T --- the Cingular name will likely disappear for good this month as well.

One of the major trends in phones this year is color. Many of the most popular phones are seeing their time on the market extended as new hues are released. Here's a list of some popular phones and their color variations:

If you live in an area with AT&T local phone service, and are considering Cingular/AT&T wireless service, check out the new AT&T Unity cell phone plans. For the most part, these are priced the same as existing Cingular plans but have a couple big differences. Unity plans expand free calling from all Cingular phones (free mobile-to-mobile) to free calling to all other AT&T lines. AT&T claims this means free calling to about 100 million phone lines overall.

Earlier this fall, T-Mobile introduced a series of myFaves rate plans, providing unlimited calling to any 5 numbers that the subscriber selects. These numbers need not be T-Mobile subscribers, nor do they have to be cell phone numbers.
Sounds good right?
For those that call a few people frequently, these plans may save money. However, for most, we would recommend sticking with one of the traditional T-Mobile plans (those without myFaves in the name). Two reasons:

Later this year, T-Mobile is expected to roll out plans for a new generation of cell phones, ones that work on both cellular networks and the Internet (via wireless / WiFi connectivity). The idea is that when a person is in a WiFi area, they will use the Internet for their voice calls; saving their plans's anytime cellular minutes for when they are in an area where a connection isn't available. The incremental charge for this service, beyond the cellular plan cost, will likely be pretty nominal.

The LG VX8500Chocolate for Verizon is one of the most popular phones of 2006. Part phone and part MP3 player it is Verizon's attempt at competing against the iPod. Oddly, unlike almost every other cell phone launched in the last two years, the LG Chocolate did not have a speakerphone.
Verizon is now correcting that. As of early October, a software upgrade will be available for the Chocolate. Existing owners can visit a Verizon retail outlet to get the upgrade. It is assumed that new Chocolate phones will have this upgrade already included.

Once again taking advantage of its very low rate of customers leaving (churn), Verizon has announced some changes to try and further separate itself from the pack. Details aren't available yet, but the CEO of Verizon announced these changes, for implementation later in 2006:
