cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-09-09 08:25:21

T-Mobile has debuted new prepaid plans with a bump in data for its cheapest month-to-month plans, but the big upgrade is T-Mobile's guarantee that its prices won't change for the next five years, a feature on some of the best phone plans. T-Mobile introduced its five-year price guarantee on its premium plans back in April to appeal to subscribers wary of rising costs. As consumers worry about tariff-related price increases and the potential of a recession, it's a savvy move for the carrier to e

Nothing says an Essential Space premium tier could be in the cards in the future

In the interview, Pei describes the code we found as “zombie strings” that were left there during development. He adds that in its current form, Essential Space will remain free. However, he doesn’t rule out the possibility of a premium tier being added in the future: So I think that’s what happened, somebody got their hands on an older version of the APK and they decompiled it and saw that there [were] some strings related to charging for Essential Space.

"He kind of reamed out Hegseth for this." President Donald Trump spent $45 million in taxpayer dollars to throw himself a huge birthday parade — and now, he's apparently mad at everyone involved for not making it more fabulous. In an interview with the Daily Beast, Trump biographer Michael Wolff revealed that the president was none too pleased with the underwhelming pomp that marked the 250th anniversary of the Army — and, perhaps just as importantly in his mind, his birthday.

T-Mobile’s new prepaid plans look great on paper, but is there a catch?

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-09-10 04:42:39

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR T‑Mobile is shaking up its prepaid offerings with three plans, ranging from $40 to $60 per month for one line. The new plans largely look like an upgrade, but there are a few possible catches around prioritization and family discounts. The new plans look similar to what you’ll find from other prepaid plans based on T-Mobile’s network, though whether they are better or not remains unseen until we know a bit more. Earlier this year, T-Mobile unveiled its ne
