The United States' four biggest wireless carriers -- Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, and T-Mobile -- have teamed to launch Project Verify, a single sign-on service that reduces how many passwords someone needs. Project Verify is designed for smartphone users, existing to authenticate any apps that require logins so the user doesn't have to enter a unique password.
Sprint is back with a new plan it describes as "VIP platinum-style." The new Unlimited Premium plan builds upon the carrier's two existing unlimited data options, this one including a greater mobile hotspot data allowance, the ability to stream videos in Full HD over 4G, global roaming, and more.
5G smartphones are still months away, but the carriers are already shouting about their fresh new handsets. Sprint joined the 5G hype club today, announcing it’s working with LG on a special device to usher in its fifth-generation cellular network next year. It’s hot on the heels of the Moto Z3, a “5G Ready” phone you can buy today from Verizon… just not with any 5G hardware yet.
LG and Sprint will make the carrier's first 5G smartphone, with the new handset expected to debut sometime in 2019. It follows Verizon announcing its first 5G-compatible phone, the Moto Z3, which went on sale this month but won't get its 5G support until next year.
It's Galaxy Note 9 preorder day, and the carriers all have deals hoping to get you to put a brand new Samsung phablet into your pocket or purse. The new S Pen, bigger display, and huge battery don't come cheap, but with payment plans and some BOGO offers - along with a couple of Samsung bundles - the sting isn't quite as sharp as it could be. Read on for all the details.
Sprint has a new device leasing deal for new and existing customers who want to open a new line. Starting today and running through August 9, the carrier is offering customers the opportunity to lease an iPhone 8 for $8/month under its Sprint Flex program. This is the company's latest online promotion, a great one for customers who want an iPhone and live somewhere with decent Sprint coverage.
Sprint has split its Unlimited data plan into two new plans, one called Unlimited Basic and the other Unlimited Plus. The Unlimited Basic plan, as the name suggests, trims down what subscribers get, offering them video streaming on mobile data capped at 480p and only 500MB of LTE hotspot data. The company also has Unlimited plans for individuals aged 55+ and military.
Sprint wants you to abandon your current carrier and switch to its unlimited plan. Why should you consider the transition? Because the company's latest promotion is offering unlimited data for $15/month, promising that there's no catch or unwanted surprises. This isn't quite as sweet as the totally free unlimited plan it offered earlier this year, but it's still an incredible deal.
One of the most promising features of recent PCs running on Qualcomm's Snapdragon processors is Microsoft's "Always Connected" Windows experience. That is, as long as a data connection is available. That's about to become much easier, and cheaper, thanks to a new Sprint promotion that offers free unlimited 4G LTE through the rest of 2018.
T-Mobile and Sprint have announced plans to merge, with the two US carriers combining for a concerted push into 5G. The deal, which has been rumored for some time though gained extra traction at the tail-end of last week, will see T-Mobile US CEO John Legere leading a new T-Mobile. The deal values Sprint at approximately $59 billion, and will be worth $26bn in stock.
A Sprint and T-Mobile merger is once again in the works, according to new sources. This isn't the first time we've heard this rumor, but latest claims say we could be getting an official announcement as soon as this Sunday. The deal is reportedly valued at $26 billion, though the sources caution that the two carriers haven't actually signed a deal and it may not ultimately be finalized.
Sprint is getting ready to launch an unlimited plan specifically for older adults, according to a new report, giving anyone age 55 or older the option of getting two lines at a generous discount compared to the ordinary Unlimited option. The new option would follow a similar plan recently launched by T-Mobile, that one also offering seniors a discount over regular rates.
