Life-hacking the T-Mobile MDA
So for all you T-Mobile owners out there, I’ve found a few fun ways to give your device a new lease on life. It’s true that we are all getting tired of the lack of 3G service by T-Mobile, or maybe the “long in the tooth” look & feel of Windows Mobile 5 and [...]
T-Mobile Ranks Highest in Customer Service. Again

But today was different – literally, everyone had coverage of [...]

Cingular Network Integration of AT&T Wireless is Complete
Cingular has finally completed the integration of the AT&T Wireless network. Its been two years since Cingular purchased the aging network, and they have had several challenges in merging the two companies together.
This is ultimately good news for Cingular’s customers, as the company can now focus those energies on other opportunities such as expanding [...]
T-Mobile New Tagline, Plans
Looks like my favorite mobile service provider is updating their service offerings and positioning themselves for future service growth.
