futurism.com Unknown 2025-09-20 10:00:38

Leave it to phone scammers to innovate new ways to be as annoying — and scummy — as humanly possible. These cybercriminals are no longer content with just sending you the odd phishing text or two. As Wired reports, more and more of them are using so-called "SMS blasters" that basically act as a portable cell tower, tricking your phones into connecting with them as they cruise by. The scammers walk or drive around with the devices, firing out a ludicrous volume of SMS messages that contain dange

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-09-22 08:30:04

On June 16, 2025, I pre-ordered an Android smartphone. I’ve done this dozens of times before in my life, but this time was a little different. On that day, I was pre-ordering a phone that I didn’t want and had every reason to believe I would never actually see. The device in question was the T1 Phone, the first phone from a brand new company called Trump Mobile. Trump Mobile is both a new carrier and phone company started by President Donald Trump’s sons, Donald Trump, Jr. and Eric Trump. The T

On iOS 26 with a T-Satellite plan? These six iPhone apps work via satellite

9to5mac.com Ben Lovejoy 2025-09-26 22:56:24

When T-Mobile launched its T-Satellite service back in July, iPhone users were limited to text messaging via satellite – but the company promised that support for selected additional apps would follow. With the launch of iOS 26, the company has started to make good on that promise, with support for six apps so far. Notably, you don’t need to choose T-Mobile as your carrier in order to subscribe to the service … T-Satellite from T-Mobile We’d known since 2022 that T-Mobile would be SpaceX’s fi

Sony is finally catching up to something Nintendo and Microsoft have had for years. The new PlayStation Family app mainly serves as a mobile extension of on-console parental controls. However, parents also get a few extra perks in the mobile version. The app includes a "thoughtfully guided" onboarding process.
