AT&T’s push into fake 5G has begun and it hasn’t exactly led to the results the carrier was hoping for. Last month, we reported AT&T was going to begin advertising fake 5G on its 4G LTE phones, an endeavor that begun this week. Needless to say, the carrier’s fiercest competitors have responded with some pointed roasts. In case you are unfamiliar with 5G, it is the next-...
5G may be a ways off from becoming a readily available network actually used by people, but that isn’t stopping AT&T from jumping the gun and slapping a bogus 5G logo on smartphones. According to Fierce Wireless, AT&T is prepping to display a “5G E” icon at the top of smartphones running on its network. However, it won’t actually be 5G; it will run on the same 4G LTE network...
T-Mobile's celebrating the holidays with a special advertisement, but you'd be mistaken to think it's all about the magenta-loving brand. Instead, the Un-carrier uses this as an opportunity to call out its competitors. That shouldn't be any surprise as T-Mobile can't get enough of attack-style ads. So it's a holiday-themed ad that pokes fun at Verizon, AT&T, and Comcast. In the ...
5G is the future of mobile and carriers have been working really hard to make that possible sooner rather than later. For the most part, 5G has seemed like a far-fetched idea that we would see sometime in the distant future, yet AT&T and Samsung just announced they will release a 5G smartphone in mere months. AT&T has been diligently building the infrastructure of its 5G...

If you're an AT&T mobile customer, your bill is about to get more expensive. AT&T recently dropped $85.4 billion to purchase Time Warner and it seems it's looking for new sources of revenue, so it's honed in on its mobile customers. BTIG Research analyst Walter Piecyk noted that AT&T raised the "administrative fee" tucked in the fine print of those long and confusing bills...
WatchTV is the latest live TV streaming service to consider, but you might not have to pay for it. AT&T is bundling the service with two of its new plans.

The new plans are called ‘Unlimited & More’ and ‘Unlimited &...
AT&T is raising the price of its grandfathered unlimited data plans yet again, continuing its recent annual tradition of making the data plan more expensive. First reported by MacRumors, a support page on AT&T's site relates that grandfathered unlimited data plans will see their price rise from $40 to $45. AT&T originally discontinued these data plans back in 2010, but...
Finding the LG G7 isn’t going to be a challenge unless you’re an AT&T customer. While the other three major U.S. carriers immediately announced their intent to sell the 2018 flagship, AT&T announced that it is skipping the G7. There won’t ever be a G7 on the carrier’s network, but that’s because the two companies have a resolution in place. The nation’s second-largest carrier...
The merger between AT&T and Time Warner hasn't been completed yet because both companies are facing pushback from the U.S. Department of Justice.
