So you want to get your hands on Samsung's newest flagship device, the Galaxy S6 smartphone? But you are already planning ahead to get the next flagship handset from the South Korean phone maker next year? You might do well to avail of an early upgrade plan. But which one to choose? Here is a quick guide.
US major wireless carrier AT&T recently reached a $25 million settlement with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) over customer information that was stolen from three international call centers.
The customer data was stolen from contracted call center companies located in Mexico, Colombia, and the Philippines. The data breach basically involved the unauthorized disclosure of names, social security numbers (full or partial), and other protected account information of nearly 280,000 customers in the United States.
AT&T is taking its ultra-speedy gigabit broadband service and bringing it to the city of Cupertino in the state of California. Indeed, the major wireless carrier has announced that it has officially launched its U-Verse with AT&T GigaPower broadband network Monday in this Santa Clara County city. This service promises to offer up to 1 gigabit per second connectivity to consumers and small- to medium-sized enterprises. Rates start at $110 every month.
After a very competitive holiday period in which wireless carriers in the United States threw seemingly endless promos after promos, it seems that the price war in between network providers are beginning to subside. Indeed, we have seen some carriers raising back their fees and ending their special offers.
John Stephens, Chief Financial Officer of AT&T, certainly agrees. According to Stephens, the field of competition in the wireless industry seems to have stabilized and he expresses confidence about AT&T's chances of competing in the next quarter or so.
RootMetrics is a company that does testing on wireless network performance independently. The mobile network tester has recently finished its latest round of tests evaluating network speed and reliability, and it has found out that the best overall wireless service provider is Verizon Wireless.
The reason may be the quality of network. Or maybe the cost. But the fact of the matter is: consumers do switch from one mobile carrier to another. But if you think that people are doing because they are not happy with the customer service, you may be wrong. At least according to recent surveys conducted by Consumer Intelligence Research Partners (CIRP).
Are you looking for a new tablet that is affordable? You might want to go to AT&T. The carrier is collaborating with phone maker LG in offering the LG G Pad 7.0 LTE for just $0.99.
There is a catch though. The offer is only open to who purchase a new smartphone on an AT&T Next early upgrade plan. Moreover, you will have to get the LG G Pad 7.0 LTE on a two-year contract with AT&T. But if you are okay with getting a smartphone and tablet upgrade now, you will enjoy savings of $99 (the normal on-contract price for the LG G Pad 7.0 LTE is $99.99).
Roughly two weeks ago, AT&T announced a promo that offers its Mobile Share Value customers 15 gigabytes of shareable data for the price of 10 gigabytes, which was equal to paying only $100 for both the plan and its device access charges.
