Trump Mobile promise telehealth and roadside perks, but is it worth the cost?

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-03-06 12:00:43

From businessman to politician, and now to wireless service provider? Coming way out of left field, it seems the Trump Organization is now looking to leverage the Trump name to bring phone service to its fan base. According to the Trump Organization, the company won’t directly operate Trump Mobile and is instead licensing the rights to an unnamed third party. Trump Mobile will offer just one plan, dubbed the 47 Plan, as a not-so-subtle nod to Trump’s current presidential term. The company will

5 carriers you should sign up for instead of T-Mobile

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-03-06 14:30:51

Joe Maring / Android Authority If you’re shopping for a new cell phone carrier in the US, there’s a good chance you’re considering T-Mobile. As one of the most well-known cell service providers in the country, it’s likely at the top of your shopping list. But before you pull the trigger on T-Mobile, I’d advise you to first consider the alternatives. Between lackluster new plan offerings and the removal of long-beloved features like taxes and fees bundled into monthly prices, T-Mobile has seen b

I Get 5G on My Phone at Home, But Why Can't I Get 5G Home Internet? Here's What I Learned

If you can get 5G on your phone while you're at home, you should be able to get 5G internet at your house, right? Not exactly. 5G is no longer new, thanks to efforts from major carriers AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon, but 5G home internet service isn't strictly available at the same addresses as 5G cellular service. I ran into this when I switched my mobile carrier from AT&T cellular service to T-Mobile phone service. I was immediately impressed with the phone's 5G performance. However, even though

I replaced my iPad with a $100 Android tablet, and here's my verdict after two weeks

ZDNET's key takeaways The Celero5G Tab is available for as low as $100 for existing customers, with a data line costing $20 a month. This is a simple, no-frills Android tablet that you can take anywhere with you for light work and entertainment, whether there's Wi-Fi or not.
