, Feb 1st 2011 Discuss [3]

If you're not one of the thousands and thousands of world citizens that have subscribed to the idea that you need a smartphone to function normally in society, you undoubtedly have you reasons. Cost is of course prohibitive, and some people just don't see the need (weird!), but I'd wager to guess one of the most giant reasons people do not seek to further their understanding of this new handheld device world is the fact that they're confused about data costs.

Even as prepaid plans get better, it's the post-paid and contract-based plans that seem to get all of the attention. But, as prepaid plans look better and better, especially with their unlimited offerings in one capacity or another, it's no surprise that T-Mobile would be aiming to "evolve" the mobile data plans for prepaid customers, by bringing them new plans that include voice and text messaging, as well as options for those who need mobile data plans.

Verizon Begins Offering Unlimited Data in Prepaid Fashion, 3G Smartphones Included

, Sep 2nd 2010 Discuss [2]

Prepaid services have been around for awhile, but for the longest time they were never good enough to catch the attention of the average consumer. After all, there's a lot hanging on that contract-free plan. You not only miss out on minutes, but it used to be that you didn't even get the same reception as the customers who signed a contract. Furthermore, you had to buy the phone out-right, without that discounted price tag. Well, while you still have to buy the phone out-right, prepaid plans have certainly become more popular, and Verizon has just made it even more attractive with the announcement that unlimited prepaid plans are now available. Oh, and you can use a Droid X, too. Read The Full Story

Sprint Announces HTC Touch Pro 2 for September 8 Due Date

, Aug 31st 2009 Discuss [0]

And it's going to cost a pretty penny. While the T-Mobile Touch Pro 2 is already available for the same price, there were a few people out there who were hoping that HTC's Touch Pro 2 would see at least somewhat of a price drop, once it reached the Now Network. Either way, we're sure someone out there is still clamoring for this thing, and thankfully September 8 seems to be the day of days, so to speak. Read The Full Story
