This report explains how AT&T sets a much lower standard than Verizon Wireless for the speed of the devices and service it labels as 4G. The vast majority of what AT&T calls its 4G network is far slower than what Verizon Wireless call 4G, which is actually 4G LTE – a different technology that is four times faster or more. AT&T can do this because there are no regulations or governing standards.

Take a look at the report and get a better understanding of what 2G, 3G, 4G and 4G LTE means. A new report from Grudi Associates provides facts and explanations about 3G, 4G and 4G LTE wireless services that help customers choose the right carrier and service, while avoiding advertising hype.

Verizon Wireless is introducing the Share Everything Plan!

Unlimited Talk, Unlimited Text and a single pool of shareable data to power up to 10 devices. It’s the plan that revolves around you. Only from Verizon, with more 4G LTE coverage than all other networks combined!

5 Key Benefits of the Share Everything Plan

2. Unlimited Messages for all devices on a Share Everything account. Send as many text, picture and video messages as you want!
3. Shareable Data for all the devices on your accounts. Select how much you’ll need, and then share it with up to 10 devices.
4. Mobile Hotspot is included on all capable devices. Connect your device and share your data allowance with multiple Wi-Fi enabled devices.
5. Connect up to 10 devices. Choose which devices you’d like to connect and then share your data.

Also beginning 6/28, with the benefits presented by Share Everything, customers who upgrad
e their devices at with a new two year agreement will no longer be able to keep unlimited data. Customers will now have the flexibility to add up to 10 devices and share data.

Verizon Wireless new shared data plans

Example of new plan with 2 basic phones sharing unlimited talk, text and 300MB of data = $100 per month.

It serms Unlimited data users will have to give up an unlimited data plan only if they purchase a subsidized phone when renewing a two-year contract. In other words, if later this year you go into Verizon to upgrade to the latest iPhone and buy the phone for $200, you can kiss your unlimited data plan goodbye.

But if you shelled out the non-subsidized price for the device, about $650 for a 16GB iPhone 4S from Verizon, you keep your unlimited plan.

This is important for someone who has unlimited data on a 3G Smartphone now. If you wait to change to a 4G Smartphone after Verizon Wireless makes the change to shared data you will not be able to keep your Unlimited data plan for your 4G Smartphone. If you use more than 4 Gigabytes a month on your Smartphone then the unlimited data feature is important for you to keep. I personally use 22 Gigabytes a month because I watch a movie everyday on my Droid Bionic Smartphone but I have unlimited 4G data. A standard definition movie on Netflix uses 700 megabytes. I don’t have home internet I use my phone for everything. Read more

Carriers Band to Fight Cellphone Theft – WSJ.com

posted by Admin 5:15 AM
Tuesday, April 10, 2012

In New York there were more than 26,000 incidents of electronics theft in the first 10 months of 2011—81% involving mobile phones—according to an internal police-department document reported by the New York Daily News.

The report said electronics are now the most stolen type of property, surpassing cash. In Washington, D.C., cellphone-related robberies jumped 54% from 2007 to 2011 according to the Metropolitan Police Department.

Yesterday I advised a client who just lost a iPhone 4S to call and report the phone stolen so it could be put on the lost stolen list and never work on Verizon Wireless again unless they take it off the list.

AT&T and Nokia are about to launch the Lumia 900, arguably the first Windows Phone “hero” device to hit the U.S. market. Business users should pay close attention, given Blackberry’s steepening decline and a leveling off of business feature enhancements on iOS and Android.

It’s but a wee bit of time until the Nokia Lumia 900 officially launches on AT&T and savvy shoppers can pick themselves up a brand-new Windows Phone for the simple price of one penny.

No, that’s not a typo. AT&T might have the Lumia 900 listed for a cool $99.99 as of this article’s writing, but a quick trip over to Amazon reveals that you can purchase the same device for a tiny piece of copper (technically, copper-plated Zinc, but who’s counting?
