The iPhone 5 is set to launch on T-Mobile this Friday along side T-Mobile’s new “uncarrier” no contract strategy. Not wanting to get left behind, Virgin Mobile is planning to win over T-Mobile’s pre-paid customers by offering them $100 to switch sides.
In a new ad campaign called “Retain Your Brain” Virgin is offering $100 to T-Mobile customers to move their number over to one of its unlimited plans that start at $35 a month and could result in $334 of savings over two years.
It’s been a while since we’ve seen a Sony smartphone on T-Mobile USA, but it appears the two companies are joining forces for Sony’s latest flagship. An Xperia Z has been leaked with T-Mobile branding on its back, suggesting a big announcement could be on its way.
AT&T is to begin accepting pre-orders for the HTC One this week, according to a leaked company memo. The device will be available in black or white with 32GB of storage, and it will reportedly cost $249.99. There’s no mention of the exclusive 64GB device, however.
T-Mobile is getting the iPhone 5 in a couple weeks. They’re really excited. But towards the end of today’s press event, T-Mobile let it be known that the Samsung Galaxy S 4 will be arriving at the carrier just a few weeks after the iPhone 5.
T-Mobile CEO John Legere kicked off the company’s press event in New York City today with an aggressive yet entertaining onslaught against rival carriers. He called for the likes of AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint to “stop the bullshit” with traditional subsidy models, which T-Mobile has now abandoned in favor of its new “Uncarrier” plans.
