T-Mobile heading to court over text messaging service
With the latest wave of marketing heading towards mobile advertising it was only a matter of time before customers would start receiving unsolicited text messages. As you can imagine not having the ability to stop these unwanted text messages can both be annoying and quite costly.
The Plaintiffs in the case argue T-Mobile charges its customers for text messages they receive even if they don’t want the feature. There is no word on how much money the plaintiffs are seeking, but one can only guess at the number of unwanted text messages received multiplied by and average of 10 cents per text you know it’s not going to be chump change. As expected T-Mobile representatives refused to comment about the pending litigation.
Currently only Verizon and Sprint allow their customers to disable the text messaging service all together.

Ryan goes hands on with the newest Sidekick for T-Mobile & has to figure out how to use the trackball. T-Mobile's G1 emulator
is online, and playing with it is just like messing around with the
not-yet-available HTC H1 Android phone. Except for the phone part.The
emulator is pretty cool, and honestly got me a little more jazzed to
try out a G1 in person. Don't get me wrong, I was jazzed already - but
the emulator made me forget about the phone's perceived hardware
shortcomings and instead focus on the Android user experience,... As I'm sure you know, the G1 will come bundled with the standard core applications that all smart phones include nowadays; an email client, contact manager, calendar, web browser, favorites organizer, calculator, etc. The Maps app has been demonstrated several times in Google promotional videos, as have been the picture browser, SMS client and music player. After downloading a sort of preview version of Android 1.0, I can confirm that all of... Q.Hey Noah, Love the work that you do. I was just wondering if you heard any whispers when the Touch HD will be coming to the US and if so which carrier. From the stuff I've seen I love it but if the wait is too long (say over 6 months) I'll just settle for the Touch Pro. Thanks!
A. I'm amped up about the Touch HD, as well. So far there's no word - or even whispering - about a US carrier.
I know HTC is interested in bringing... Happy October, everbody! As my present to you to celebrate this first day of the tenth month of 2008, I give you the Major League Baseball playoffs tonight and a whole bunch of T-Mobile G1 unboxing photos right now.
Okay, truth be told, I had little to do with either the MLB playoffs or the unboxing photos. The former are courtesy of MLB, of course, and the latter come to us from TMoNews.com. Can't wait for that G1 review... Episode 5 of the Podcast! Featuring David and Jon from TmoNews.com. We talk about life as phone bloggers, striking a balance between posting rumors and protecting the carrier you love, and what's in store for T-Mobile users and the future of Android. Also, the latest cell phone news and (for some reason) Noah's Top 5 TV shows! I'm publishing this one as much because I want it to happen as
anything else. I got it from two unrelated sources late last week that
T-Mobile is prepping a version of HTC's Touch HD as their next Android
phone. One of the sources was the ever talkative Anonymous Tipster,
but the other one was somebody with a decent track record when it comes
to accurately leaking info on upcoming handset releases. Neither of
them are... I'm kinda excited for the Samsung T919 i wanted to but the nokia 5610 but i heard it give black screens. is it true? can it be fixed? [quote user="bellasera"]
So here is my question; I just recently purchased an iPhone in hopes of unlocking it. I found a lot of information explaining how to unlock the iPhone, however that is not my question. My question(s) is/are this:
1. When using a T-Mobile SIM card that card needs to be paid for right (in other words it needs to be active)?Yes the sim card must be associated with a currently active account

My question(s) is/are this:1. When using a T-Mobile SIM card that card needs to be paid for right (in other words it needs to be active)?2. Can another number be programed onto that SIM card?3. Can I simply use wireless instead of the T-Mobile service, or is... The only way brown will ever work on a cell phone is if has a metalic pearl finish.
It really has to be glossy or else it will just look like??? well.....a turd
IMO Since when is brown a good color for a cell phone?
It looks like a Hershey candy bar [*-)]
I can't believe Microsoft paid $240 million for only 1.6% stake in facebook???
Makes me sick especially due to the fact the company is only 4 years old!!!!
Three new colors Pearl colors - blue, sunset (red) and pale gold.
Does anyone really care? The 8100 has definately jumped the shark! Does T-Mobile out source its customer service department? |
