This week has been a great week for holiday deals, new releases, update delays and news releases.
Here are the top best articles from WiMo News:
The HTC ThunderBolt and Droid Incredible 2 are late getting updated to Android 4.04 Ice Sandwich.For the first time on two carriers the Samsung Galaxy S3 (III) was the bestseller or the iPhone 5.
T-Mobile started offering its new tier of data plans, with completely truly unlimited data, today. The previous unlimited plans were capped and throttled at 2GB. To sweeten the deal T-Mobile is offering it's second top seller for free while an online retailer is offering free activation and discounts.
The first announcement was unclear and we contacted T-Mobile to find out how the upgrade process works. Say for example you already hide a 2 GB unlimited data plan and you wanted to upgrade to the truly unlimited data plan here's the official statement:
“New and existing T-Mobile customers will be eligible for T-Mobile’s new Unlimited Nationwide 4G data plan.
Yesterday, we were confused about the new unlimited plans coming from T-Mobile. Today, we have an official statement from Kevin McLaughlin, vice president, marketing, T-Mobile USA. The new unlimited plans are an addition to existing plans. We were also able to confirm how the upgrade process will work.
Here's how the new plans will be working when they go into effect September 5. The new plans are actually, another new separate option. The Unlimited (2GB throttled) plans will still be available for those who don't use a large amount of data.
Thing sare looking better in September, especially for data hogs who live in T-Mobile network areas. On September 5, T-Mobile will begin offering unlimited 4G data plans for smartphones starting at $20 a month which seems like a deal for heavy data users but could cost more for medium data users. We took a look at the current web pricing and for some plans it will be a $10 a month increase and more expensive.
AT&T Wireless announced its AT&T Mobile Share plans, available in late August with no changes to AT&T’s device upgrade policy.
When the plan was announced, it was immediately compared to Verizon Wireless' share everything plans. The main differences are that AT&T will continue to subsidize device prices with all its plans when there is a new contract and a slightly different data prices when buying large amounts of data.
Verizon Wirless is no longer subsidising new smartphones with unlimited plans while, AT&T allows you keep your unlimited data plan as long a you like, but does throttle data for the heaviest users.
Verizon Wireless is running a new commercial for the Share Everything plans. It makes it seem like it's all wonderful deal. However, what the family is actually sharing is higher costs for data. It is the data that is being shared not the voice minutes or the texts with smartphone plans because for each smartphon voice and text are unlimited. We calculated the recommended plans from Verizon for such a family and gave our own recommendations.
In this day and age when even preteens have to have a smartphone the most highly used feature is data.
The first Voyager Mobile announcement was very popular with our readers, a night before launch day which was supposed to be May 15. However, the website was attacked by a DDOS attack and could not open until today.
We contacted CEO John Mardini who clarified the buying process for the new cheap unlimited service. You can only buy phones or smartphones that are not subsidized and locked to Voyager Mobile. The cheapest phone is $119.00 for a Samsung Flip phone.
payLo by Virgin Mobile is geared for heavy texters and talkers who don't use much data.
The Service includes unlimited voice minutes and unlimited messages((text, picture, email and/or IM) but only 50MB of data service that expires in one month. The plan is only available with certain feature phones including the Samsung M575 phone.
